Retainer Terms:
All retainer packages and terms are subject to changes without notice.
Basic Minimum Retainer:
The Hive of Many ‘basic minimum retainer package’ is based on up to ten hours of work per month. Any hours taken less than ten will still be counted as ten hours. It is in the clients best interest to use their allowance per month. A breakdown of work and remaining hours are available on request. Hours do NOT carry over from month to month.
Changes and adjustments to your retainer:
Hive of Many tracks and monitor retainers so clients can get the most from them. Hive of Many tries to make things are fair as possible by working closely with clients.
Beyond the basic minimum retainer (above), clients have the option to increase their monthly hours. Quotes available on request and agreed via email. All work for the first three months of a retainer is agreed upon before setting up the initial package. When clients are unsure of what allowance they require, we can use the option to apply a three-month average.
The three-month average also applies to existing client retainers. When a client exceeds their agreed allowance each month, Hive of Many looks at the three-month average. This benefit allows for busy months and quieter months. Exceeding the agreed allowance over the three months will incur additional costs in one of two ways.
- An increase in monthly retainer cost per month for the three months that follow or
- Payment of the additional hours based on an hourly rate
Hive of Many reserves the right to amend retainers monthly invoice payment amounts based on the above terms.
Cancellation
The minimum contract for a retainer is three months. You have the right to cancel the retainer at any time. Hive of Many reserves the right to cancel contracts at any time. All cancellation requests via email. Outstanding invoices to be paid in full. Where clients have exceeded their hours, additional charges may apply.
Once the contract ends, services that have been in place such as design support, web hosting, domain names, file storage etc will no longer be available. Costs for continuing with certain services available on request.
