Services. In consideration of the payment of the Fees UnRealty will provide the Services. UnRealty will abide by any reasonable directions given by the Client with respect to the manner of delivery of the Services.
Quotation. UnRealty will normally provide the Client with a Fixed Quotation prior to commencing the Services. A Fixed Quotation will be based on the hours estimated to complete the Services. It is up to the discretion of UnRealty as to whether this quote should be varied to cover additional hours or extra Services not included in the Fixed Quotation. In some situations, UnRealty will provide a project “Estimate” (this will be stipulated on the bottom of the quotation). This simply means that there will be an estimated amount of hours and indicative cost per hour. Each of these hours will be logged in time sheets. If work is required beyond what is included in the estimate, UnRealty reserves the right to adjust the estimate accordingly to ensure that every hour spent on the Services is paid for by the Client. Every Quotation has a 30 day expiry date which starts from the date the Quotation was issued unless otherwise specified.

Third party intellectual property will remain owned by such third parties, and Client appoints UnRealty as agent to procure any use of third party intellectual property in relation to the Services.
Client Approvals. During the completion of Services there will be various stages of submission. This is where UnRealty will present the work completed at the stage and will ask for client approval. At this stage, the client is entitled to as many amends as the budget allows. Once approval is received from the client, this is considered final and UnRealty will move to the next stage of the Services. If, for some reason, the client would like to make changes after approval, this will be quoted as an addition to the Services and at an agreed hourly rate. Payment of the final invoice is deemed approval of the specified elements in the invoice. For online / digital projects, deploying a project to a public facing, live environment is also considered approval of all Services outlined in the Quotation.
Assistance. The Client will give UnRealty, its employees and contractors all assistance reasonably requested by UnRealty to enable UnRealty to carry out the Services.
Employees. The Client will not, from the date of this Agreement to twelve months after completion of the provision of services by UnRealty, solicit, employ or contract any employee or contractor of UnRealty. The Client agrees that if it employs or engages any person directly, contrary to this clause it shall be liable to pay to UnRealty liquidated damages in a once off amount equal to 30% of such person’s annual salary or annualised contracted amount (if a contractor) at the time of departing UnRealty even if they have been employed or contracted by another organisation after departing UnRealty and prior to being engaged or employed by the Client.
Warranty Period. On completion of the Services (excluding Deployment), there is a 30 day warranty period. This warranty period applies from the date the work is completed and submitted to the client and covers defects directly related to Services rendered by UnRealty. A defect must inhibit a user from completing the desired action to be covered under this clause. Warranty does not apply to defects which are caused as a result of the actions of other parties, including the Client. If source files are modified by any party other than an employee of UnRealty during the warranty period, warranty will automatically be terminated immediately. Warranty Period also does not cover modifications or additions to the Services, Quotation, specification or agreement which change the definition of the agreed scope of Services. Warranty Period does not cover any items not listed in the Services, Quotation, specification or agreement. If Services are submitted to the client and no feedback is provided during the warranty period, the Services will be considered final and additional amendments will be billed at an additional agreed hourly rate.
Administration Access. By default, all clients of UnRealty will receive restricted access to their website / app. If requested, the client may request administration or full access. If accepted, UnRealty will no longer be held responsible for security, unwanted changes or alterations to the website. If any issues arise that are directly related to the elevated privileges, UnRealty is obliged to quote for these at an agreed hourly rate. If the request of full / administrator access is made during the warranty period (30 days), the warranty period will automatically be terminated. This also applies to the handover of source files. If source files are requested by the client during the warranty period, UnRealty can no longer be held responsible for the website and therefore the warranty will be terminated.

This agreement will automatically terminate if: the Client enters into an arrangement or composition with creditors; an application is made for the appointment of a liquidator, controller, administrator, official manager, receiver and manager or similar officer or any of them is appointed; an event happens which would allow a court to wind the Client up; the Client ceases to carry on business or is unable to pay its debts; or the Client materially breaches this agreement and does not remedy the breach with fourteen (14) days of receiving notice from UnRealty to rectify the breach or the breach is incapable of being remedied.
If this agreement is terminated for any reason the Client shall immediately pay to UnRealty any part of the Fees which has accrued prior to the termination but has not been paid, including works performed but not yet invoiced. Upon payment UnRealty shall deliver to the Client all books, records, plans, papers, models and information of any kind relating to the Services which are the property of the Client.
Unused Hours. From time to time, UnRealty will provide a support agreement based on a number of hours to be used each month. This will be clearly stipulated in the quotation provided to the Client. These hours are recorded and reported on based on the total number stated in the quotation. If hours are not used in their entirety every month, they do not expire instantly. By default, the hours are rolled and can be used in following months. However, all hours do have an expiry date. This expiry date is 3 months after they were invoiced unless otherwise stated or agreed on prior.
