Terms and Conditions

Twinbrush reserves the right to update and amend these terms at any time.
Every design project is different and the best outcomes result from trust between the client and the designer. The most effective way to assure trust meets both client and designer expectations in any engagement, is to clarify the relationship with a written agreement. The following lays out Twinbrush’s terms and conditions. These are implemented unless otherwise specifically stated via email or written correspondence.
Please read these carefully. If you have any questions or queries regarding these terms, please get in touch.

Twinbrush may extend or modify any delivery schedule or deadlines in the Proposal or emailed quote and Deliverables as may be required by such Changes. Each agreed fee will include a number of rounds of changes permitted and these will be detailed in either the emailed quote, or the confirmation of instruction to proceed email. Any changes beyond this will be chargeable at Twinbrush’s standard hourly rate.

If Client requests or instructs Changes that amount to a revision in or near excess of thirty percent (30%) of the time required to produce the Deliverables, and or the value or scope of the Services, Twinbrush shall be entitled to submit a new and separate Proposal or emailed quotation to Client for written approval. Work shall not begin on the revised services until a fully signed revised Proposal or emailed quotation and, if required, any additional retainer fees are received by Twinbrush.

4.3 Timing.

All feedback and comments should be received within five (5) working days of receipt of the final art, otherwise approval will be assumed and the project invoiced as complete. Twinbrush reserves the right to use artistic licence if Client instructions are vague and all reasonable attempts to contact the Client result in no further communication. Such work will not be subject to abortion. Client acknowledges and agrees that Twinbrush’s ability to meet any and all schedules is entirely dependent upon Client’s prompt performance of its obligations to provide materials and written approvals and/or instructions pursuant to the Proposal or emailed quotation and that any delays in Client’s performance or Changes in the Services or Deliverables requested by Client may delay delivery of the Deliverables. Any such delay caused by Client shall not constitute a breach of any term, condition or Twinbrush’s obligations under this Agreement. Any impact to deadlines or release date as a result of these changes will be solely the Client’s responsibility. Twinbrush hods no responsibility over the failure of any third party if failure to meet deadlines arise, due to, but not limited to, third party time management or production schedule, equipment malfunction or repair, shipping delays, or illness.

4.4 Testing and Acceptance. Twinbrush will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to test Deliverables, (requiring testing) and to make all necessary corrections prior to providing Deliverables to Client. Client shall notify Twinbrush, in writing, within five (5) business days of receipt of each Deliverable, of any failure of such Deliverable to comply with the specifications set forth in the Proposal, Design Brief or emailed quotation, or of any other objections, corrections, changes or amendments Client wishes made to such Deliverable. Any such written notice shall be sufficient to identify with clarity any objection, correction or change or amendment, and Twinbrush will undertake to make the same in a commercially timely manner. Any and all objections, corrections, changes or amendments shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the absence of such notice from Client, the Deliverable shall be deemed accepted. On web/online/app based projects Twinbrush accepts no responsibility for any 3rd party servers, hosting, plugins or applications used and any stability, security or other problems that arise as a result of usage.
