2. ESTIMATED PRICING
2.1 Prices are estimates only and may be altered without prior notice.
2.2 Where an estimate includes an estimate of hours needed to complete a Service, Konduit bears no responsibility if the actual number of hours differs from that estimated and reserves the right to revise the estimated price. However, if it becomes clear during the course of providing the Service that the number of hours needed to complete the task will exceed the number of hours estimated, Konduit will notify the Client at the earliest time possible to discuss an updated estimate.
2.3 Unless otherwise stated, any estimate given by Konduit does not include the purchase of domain names, marketing, and any other options not specified in the estimate.
2.4 All estimates are exclusive of New Zealand Goods and Services Tax (GST). Services supplied by Konduit are subject to GST, where applicable.
2.5 On all our marketing estimates, prices are subject to change. They’re based on the current requirements set by Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), other digital platforms. These requirements are out of our control. Should these requirements change after the estimate has been signed, the price may be affected.
3. PAYMENT
3.1 A deposit of 50% of the estimated price is required before the commencement of any work unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Client shall pay a further 50% of the estimated price within seven days of the website going live or service being completed. The Client shall pay the remaining outstanding fee plus any other costs or disbursements upon handover of the product. Certain costs or disbursements may be billed to the Client immediately. For example, purchase of a domain name.
3.2 Where Services provided extend over a period of a month, Konduit may submit a detailed payment claim at intervals not less than one month for Services performed up to the end of each month. The value of Services so performed shall include the value of any variations, whether or not the value of such variations has been completed.
3.3 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment must be made within seven days following the date of invoice. Accounts in default are subject to a penalty interest rate of 2.5% calculated on a daily basis on any amounts outstanding. If payment is not made within the agreed terms, Konduit may suspend or terminate the supply of Services to the Client and may also remove the site from the web and/or suspend hosting services for email.
3.4 Payment can be made either by Credit Card or Online Banking unless otherwise agreed. Where there are monthly ongoing costs, payment must be made either through credit card or direct debit.

Once approval or deemed approval has been given, any changes requested by the Client shall incur additional costs. If we have delays by the client of more than one month, Konduit reserves the right to charge a re-establishment fee to get the project underway.
6.2 Where design is requested, Konduit will provide up to two revisions as part of the estimated cost. Thereafter additional costs will be incurred.
