Tiffany Markman wants to be 100% sure that your expectations will be met, so please take a short moment to read the conditions of service below.
Payments, deposits & approvals
Payment terms: 50% on acceptance of quote and 50% on completion for writing and editing work, and 100% upfront for training. Cost estimates are to be completed in full and returned, together with proof of payment, to secure a job booking.
Electronic agreement to terms
Electronic agreement by both parties is binding and the contract will be seen through. Please note that failure to do so may result in the loss of monies already paid.
No ’spec’ / ‘pitch’ jobs accepted
Kindly note that Tiffany Markman does not work ‘on spec’. Whether or not the copy itemised is used, full and final payment is due and payable on delivery of the copy and interest incurred on overdue accounts will be charged at prevailing bank rates.
Copyright and usage of work
All work completed will remain the property of Tiffany Markman until final payment has been made. In addition, all copy created is for one-time use only and any additional use, including online publication, may attract a further usage fee.
Terms and fees of additional use must be negotiated with Tiffany Markman prior to this use, as unauthorised publication may attract both a usage fee and a penalty fee. Please note that your usage of the copy constitutes confirmation of these terms.
Terms and inclusions of quotation
All quotations are valid for 14 days and include one set of reasonable changes to copy. The term ‘reasonable changes’ refers to vocab tweaks, syntactical revisions, linguistic alterations, factual corrections and/or small structural changes.
These must be requested within two weeks of delivery of the first draft. ‘Additional changes’ (content additions, tone/register re-briefs or major re-structuring) or changes after the two-week period will be charged for at the agreed hourly rate.
Cost estimate and invoice numbers
If the CE number or invoice number supplied by Tiffany Markman is not used as the payment reference, there will be no record of your payment on the system. Please ensure that the appropriate number is cited in any electronic or other payment.
Please feel free to contact Tiffany Markman with any concerns or questions. Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding.
