Terms of Service

We, Ocular Media LTD, will deliver our service(s) to fulfil the CLIENT’s needs and meet the CLIENT’s goals.

The CLIENT, will provide us with materials needed to complete the defined scope of works, including, but not limited to, text, images and other information as requested, in the format required.

We have the experience and ability to execute the services you require and Ocular Media LTD will perform them in a professional and timely manner.

Requests made for marketing/ materials outside of this contract specification will be completed in a timely manner and the delivery date will be agreed with the client (taking into consideration factors such as prioritising workload/ materials / production availability). Ocular Media LTD will endeavour to action all ‘ad hoc’ requests within 48hrs if and where possible, however, the contract always takes priority and this will be considered when implementing any such requests.

During the contract, we will endeavour to meet all the mutually set deadlines, but Ocular Media LTD cannot be held responsible for a missed launch date or a deadline IF the CLIENT has been late in supplying materials or has not approved or signed off on any work delivered to the CLIENT on time.

Confidentiality is paramount and any information supplied by either you, the CLIENT, or Ocular Media LTD , will not be divulged to third parties without expressed and written permissions.
