This Contract is between you (the "Client"), and CreatorConcepts Limited, a Private Limited Company with company number 10794279 and registered office address at 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX (the "Company").

By paying the invoice issued by the Company, the Client acknowledges that they have read, understood and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Contract.

Payment of the invoice constitutes acceptance of this Contract and forms a legally binding agreement between the Client and the Company.

The date the invoice is paid shall be deemed the effective date of this Contract.

If the Client does not agree to the terms of this Contract, the Client must not proceed with payment of the invoice.

Upon signing, this Contract supersedes any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between the parties.

1. SERVICES AND PAYMENT

1.1 Services

The Client is hiring the Company to provide consulting and advisory services.

These services may include, but are not limited to:

  • Weekly 45 minute Zoom consultation sessions during the 6 week period of service delivery
  • Startup and product strategy guidance when applicable
  • Marketing strategy consultation when applicable
  • Technical consultation and hands on work at the Company's discretion relating to software or app development
  • Guidance relating to idea validation, customer interviews and early-stage product development
  • Provision of educational resources, templates, frameworks and other materials to support the Client’s progress when applicable

The Company will use its experience and professional judgement to guide the Client through relevant stages of business and product development.

The engagement includes up to six (6) 45 minute consultation calls during the six (6) week period unless otherwise agreed.

The Client acknowledges that the Services are advisory in nature and do not include the design, build or delivery of software products unless separately agreed in writing.

Any additional services requested by the Client, including but not limited to product design, development, or implementation services, shall be quoted separately and agreed in writing prior to commencement.

1.2 Schedule

The Company will begin providing the Services within three (3) working days of the first invoice being paid.

The Services are provided as a structured six (6) week engagement beginning on the date the invoice is paid (the “Start Date”).

During this period the Client will receive access to the consulting services described in Section 1.1, including scheduled consultation calls and supporting resources.

At the end of the six (6) week engagement the Services will conclude automatically unless the Client and Company agree in writing to extend the engagement or enter into a new agreement.

If sessions or consultations are not used by the Client during the six (6) week engagement period, they will expire at the end of that period unless otherwise agreed in writing.

1.3 Payment

The Client will pay the Company the pre-agreed consulting fee for access to the Services described in clause 1.1.

Payment must be made prior to the commencement of the Services unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Any additional services requested by the Client outside the scope of the Services will be billed as a separate fixed price or consulting fee agreed in writing prior to work commencing.

1.4 Expenses

The Client will reimburse the Company's expenses, such as travel to the Client's office if requested. Expenses must be pre-approved by the Client.

1.5 Invoices

The Company will invoice the Client prior to services commencing.

The Client agrees to pay the amount due upon receipt of the invoice.

The Company shall be entitled to charge interest on any unpaid amount from the due date until payment is received at a rate of 5.0% per month on the outstanding amount.

Failure to pay invoices may result in the debt being passed to a debt collection agency or pursued through the courts, with fees added to cover costs incurred by the Company.

1.6 Advisory Nature of Services

The Client acknowledges that the Services provided by the Company are advisory in nature.

The Company does not guarantee any specific business results, product outcomes, revenue generation, or commercial success arising from the Services.

The Client remains solely responsible for implementing any advice, strategies, or recommendations provided.

1.7 Referral Commission Disclosure

The Company may enter into referral or partnership arrangements with third parties who introduce clients to us.

As part of these arrangements, a commission or fee may be paid to the referring party.

This does not affect the services the Client receives or the fees paid by the Client.

1.8 Refund Policy

All fees paid to the Company for the Services are non-refundable.

Once payment of the invoice has been made and the engagement has commenced, the Client is not entitled to any refund, credit, or partial reimbursement for any reason, including but not limited to failure to attend scheduled consultation sessions, failure to utilise the Services, or early termination by the Client.

The Client acknowledges that the six (6) week engagement reserves time, availability and resources from the Company and therefore payment secures the Client’s place within the programme regardless of usage.

The Company may, at its sole discretion, choose to reschedule sessions or extend access to resources where reasonable, but is under no obligation to provide refunds or credits.

If the Company is unable to deliver the Services due to circumstances within its control, the Company may choose to provide either a reasonable extension of the engagement period or a partial refund at its discretion.
