Third party charges may be treated as disbursements and will be billed separately. These charges will be communicated to the Client and approval will be waited on.

7.3 Clients whose accounts become default agree to pay MediaNerds reasonable legal expenses and third party collection agency fees in the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.
8. Revisions, Additions and Alterations
8.1 The Client agrees that changes required over and above the estimated work, or in addition to the agreed scope, or where the Client makes changes to the supplied copy or changes required to be carried out after acceptance of the draft design, will be liable to a separate charge. Such additional services include, but are not limited to, changes in the extent of work, changes in the complexity of any elements of the project, and any changes made after approval has been given for a specific stage of design, documentation, or preparation of artwork.
8.2 Unless otherwise quoted or negotiated, projects include two rounds of revisions which constitute minor changes. Following these two revisions per project, or the specified amount, our additional hourly fee will be charged. We will advise you and seek your agreement before proceeding with any work that will incur additional charges.
8.3 The Client also agrees that MediaNerds holds no responsibility for any amendments made to any work by the Client or any third party, before or after any work is published.
9. Supply of Content and Data Formats
9.1 Unless otherwise negotiated or our copywriting services are used, the Client must supply text for their project in text file format at the start of the project as well as graphics (logos, images, etc.) to be used. Text should be as close as reasonably possible to the final format, with accuracy of content, spelling and grammar checked and little or no formatting. MediaNerds assumes all written content adheres to copyright laws.
9.2 Images are also expected to be supplied before work begins, unless by prior negotiation or if using our photography or stock image services. Images should be supplied in the highest resolution electronic format possible, i.e. logos/images in vector files or original Illustrator / Photoshop format, or hi-res JPEG files. MediaNerds assumes that all correct permissions have been sought and/or royalties paid for images used.
9.3 Additional charges may apply when materials are submitted by the Client in a form that prevents them from being readily used and applied at recognized professional standards. An example would be to recreate a low-resolution logo image file in a vector format. This also includes but is not limited to art direction, photography searches, media conversion, digital image processing, colour correction, alteration of images, or data entry services.

Third party charges may be treated as disbursements and will be billed separately. These charges will be communicated to the Client and approval will be waited on.

7.3 Clients whose accounts become default agree to pay MediaNerds reasonable legal expenses and third party collection agency fees in the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.
8. Revisions, Additions and Alterations
8.1 The Client agrees that changes required over and above the estimated work, or in addition to the agreed scope, or where the Client makes changes to the supplied copy or changes required to be carried out after acceptance of the draft design, will be liable to a separate charge. Such additional services include, but are not limited to, changes in the extent of work, changes in the complexity of any elements of the project, and any changes made after approval has been given for a specific stage of design, documentation, or preparation of artwork.
8.2 Unless otherwise quoted or negotiated, projects include two rounds of revisions which constitute minor changes. Following these two revisions per project, or the specified amount, our additional hourly fee will be charged. We will advise you and seek your agreement before proceeding with any work that will incur additional charges.
8.3 The Client also agrees that MediaNerds holds no responsibility for any amendments made to any work by the Client or any third party, before or after any work is published.
9. Supply of Content and Data Formats
9.1 Unless otherwise negotiated or our copywriting services are used, the Client must supply text for their project in text file format at the start of the project as well as graphics (logos, images, etc.) to be used. Text should be as close as reasonably possible to the final format, with accuracy of content, spelling and grammar checked and little or no formatting. MediaNerds assumes all written content adheres to copyright laws.
9.2 Images are also expected to be supplied before work begins, unless by prior negotiation or if using our photography or stock image services.

MediaNerds assumes that all correct permissions have been sought and/or royalties paid for images used.
9.3 Additional charges may apply when materials are submitted by the Client in a form that prevents them from being readily used and applied at recognized professional standards. An example would be to recreate a low-resolution logo image file in a vector format.

13. Backups and Storage

13.2 Apart from video files, we will keep all working files for a minimum of 30 days after project completion. After this period, we may delete your files at our discretion.
