The Red Road Collective Digital Marketing Proposal

By signing this Agreement, the Client (that's you) agrees to retain the Service Provider (that's me) to proceed with the requested Scope of Services, and agrees to the terms and conditions as set forth within this Agreement.

SERVICES: This agreement constitutes an order for digital marketing services. The Scope of Services can be changed at any time by the Client completing a 'Change of Order' form. If the new Services are going to require additional work, both Client and Service Provider will have to agree in writing to an updated cost for the Services. Any services rendered above and beyond the Scope of Services will be subject to additional costs.

PAYMENT: The Client agrees to commit to payment in full on all packages or A La Carte Jobs at the time of signing of this agreement. The Service Provider issues invoices electronically through an online Client Portal where the Client is required to log in. Payment terms are 7 DAYS from the date of invoice. All invoices are quoted in AUD and any international payments will be made at the equivalent conversion rate at the date the transfer is made.

PAYMENT OPTIONS: The Service Provider currently accepts PayPal, Direct Deposit/Bank Transfer or Credit Card payments as payment methods. Bank account and PayPal details will be printed on the invoice.

LATE PAYMENTS: Payments not received by due date will result in work cessation. Service Provider reserves the right to refuse completion or delivery of work until past due balances are paid. A monthly late charge of 5% of the total invoice will be assessed on unpaid balances every thirty (30) days past due or part thereof. All material or property belonging to the Client, as well as work performed, may be retained as security until all just claims against the Client are satisfied.
