Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable to the other for any failure to perform any obligation under any Agreement which is due to an event beyond the control of such party including but not limited to any Act of God, terrorism, war, Political insurgence, insurrection, riot, civil unrest, act of civil or military authority, uprising, earthquake, flood or any other natural or man-made eventuality outside of our control, which causes the termination of an agreement or contract entered into, nor which could have been reasonably foreseen. Any Party affected by such event shall forthwith inform the other Party of the same and shall use all reasonable endeavours to comply with the terms and conditions of any Agreement contained herein.
Waiver
Failure of either Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this or any Agreement or the failure of either Party to exercise any right or remedy to which it, he or they are entitled hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof and shall not cause a diminution of the obligations under this or any Agreement. No waiver of any of the provisions of this or any Agreement shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be such and signed by both Parties.
General
The laws of England and Wales govern these terms and conditions. By accessing this website [and using our services/buying our products] you consent to these terms and conditions and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in all disputes arising out of such access. If any of these terms are deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, but not limited to the exclusions and limitations set out above), then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be severed from these terms and the remaining terms will continue to apply. Failure of the Company to enforce any of the provisions set out in these Terms and Conditions and any Agreement, or failure to exercise any option to terminate, shall not be construed as waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the validity of these Terms and Conditions or of any Agreement or any part thereof, or the right thereafter to enforce each and every provision.

Cancellation and Refunds
You can cancel your subscription at any point by giving 30 days notice. Your current subscription will remain until the end of the billing period after the last day of the notice period.

Please contact us and we will do our best to help.
Financial
These terms will apply to all Libris Systems Limited estimates. The price estimated is correct at the time of estimating and is valid, under these stated terms, for 30 days from the issue date, however, final invoice prices may vary from the initial estimate, this may be due to various factors, not exclusively including: changes and amendments made by client to quantity, times, deadlines, scope and content of project, delivery details, also the time is taken in completing the component tasks, any alternations to the specification or brief may incur additional costs.
All prices quoted may be subject to VAT, (UK Value Added Tax) which is not chargeable on all services or goods, especially such as are wholly consumed outside the UK. VAT will be charged, as appropriate at the prevailing rate on the day of raising the invoice and as dictated by HMRC.
All goods and services, designs, creative work either real or intellectual, digital or tangible, are the property of Libris Systems Limited and remain such until paid for in full including tax and delivery charges. Libris Systems Limited reserves the right to recover or hold back such items in dispute, pending resolution.
In acceptance of estimates, you are entering into an agreed contract for creative design work, goods or services with Libris Systems Limited. A purchase order and part payment may be required from the client before commencing the work outlined in this estimate.
Should a client abandon any project prior to completion, for their own reasons including third party reasons, a minimum of 50% of the total estimate or quote for services will be raised, although such sums may be greater than 50% depending on Libris time and work and also third-party materials expended on the task or project. The level of charge will be in the sole judgment of Libris Systems Limited. Libris will use any provided PO to cover any abandoned project invoice unless an alternative PO is supplied by the client. Physical goods ordered will be delivered and invoiced for if they have been ordered from third-party suppliers at the time of any abandonment.
For new clients, a minimum deposit payment of 25% of the order value, plus VAT, is required upon Libris Systems commencing the work.
Please note that if the estimate is related to the build of a website Libris Systems DO NOT support Microsoft IE10 or below by default or as part of a standard estimate. Therefore, should you require IE10 or below support please notify Libris immediately for further discussion (n.b updated 02/06/16).
For website design and build projects when accepting the estimate you are entering into an agreed contract of creative work with Libris Systems. A purchase order and part payment of 25% will be required from the client before commencing the work outlined in the estimate with a further 50% payable before the go-live date agreed and the remaining 25% payable 30 days after the launch of the website. Please note if the website is hosted on third party servers full payment is always required prior to final transfer. Libris reserve the right to themselves alone to place credit for the design and build on a client’s website; variance of this term is to express written confirmation prior to launch.
Libris Systems Limited reserve the right to levy charges on all outstanding invoices in line with the following: Default contract settlement date shall be 30 days from the date of invoice unless expressly agreed in writing before the contract is started. A settlement is deemed to be made when cleared funds are transferred into the appropriate Libris Systems nominated account and payments received after these dates will be termed as overdue. Should an account become ‘overdue’ Libris may elect to levy a charge at a rate of £25.00 per 7 day week that the account remains overdue; such a charge is the basic administration charge Libris will levy for dealing with an overdue account, making telephone calls, sending and receiving letters, email and other communications in relation to the overdue account. Such sums as due in respect of overdue account management will be levied by invoice, as Libris Systems Limited solely shall determine.
Should an overdue account remain unpaid and as a result, legal action be taken or legal advice is sought, the client will remain liable for all costs and charges incurred thereto by Libris. If legal action is taken to recover overdue sums, all costs, including interest upon the outstanding sum, will be sought, including interest at 4% above the HSBC base lending rate, from time to time.
There is strictly no variance from these terms whatsoever, except those expressly agreed in writing before starting the work described in the estimate. All means of correspondence shall be valid including electronic and telephonic. The law that applies to all works, contracts and to these terms will be that of England and Wales.
Please quote the estimate or invoice number on payment notices when making payment.
