  • We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts for clients who fail to pay within 30 days of receiving their invoice.

Now for the more technical explanation:

Mayfly Internet Marketing [Mayfly] agrees to supply the Services to the Client on the following conditions. These conditions are not an offer to provide service but a statement of the terms on which we will provide them.

Our Obligations

Mayfly shall provide the services using all reasonable care and skill in accordance with these conditions. Any dates specified by Mayfly for delivery of the Services and intended to be an estimate and time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If no dates are so specified, delivery will be within a reasonable time.

Mayfly shall keep in strict confidence all technical or commercial know-how, specifications, and processes which are of a confidential nature and have been disclosed by the Client to Mayfly or its agents, and any other confidential information concerning the Client’s business or its products which Mayfly may obtain.

Mayfly shall restrict disclosure of such confidential material to such of its employees, agents or sub-contractors as need to know it for the purpose of discharging Mayfly’s obligations to the Client, and shall ensure that such employees, agents or sub-contractors are subject to obligations of confidentiality corresponding to those which bind the Client.

Client’s Obligations

The Client shall co-operate with Mayfly in all matters relating to the Services, provide in a timely manner such access to the Client’s website and data, as is requested by Mayfly and provide in a timely manner such information as Mayfly may request, and ensure that such information is accurate in all material respects.
