BOOKING ADMIN ALLY

1. Once you have made initial contact, ADMIN ALLY will send acknowledgement and organise a suitable date and time to discuss your requirements.
2. This initial consultation will be free of charge.
3. Following your consultation, a non-obligation quote will be provided to you with an estimation of hours required to complete the works.
4. Total hours, timescales, payment method and payment terms must be agreed in writing prior to the commencement of work.
5. Should there be any major alterations to the original specification once work has begun that will require more hours than initially agreed, ADMIN ALLY will pause works to discuss the matter with you and an amended quotation will need to be agreed prior to ADMIN ALLY continuing with the work agreed.
6. If you have paid for a retainer of hours per week or month in advance and the hourly credit is running low, ADMIN ALLY will advise you at the earliest opportunity and either the works will cease at the end of the allotted time or you can purchase additional hours.
7. All information necessary to complete the works must be provided to ADMIN ALLY before works can be scheduled. This can be provided by way of email, post, WeTransfer or Cloud sharing (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive). ADMIN ALLY uses a Windows 10 computer and the Microsoft Office software suite. Please ensure all information sent is compatible with these applications.
8. Final proof reading and the approval of documents prepared remains your responsibility, however in the unlikely event mistakes are found, these will be corrected free of charge if ADMIN ALLY is notified within 3 working days. After 3 working days if no errors are reported, the work will be deemed as accepted. Any mistakes reported outside this timescale will still be corrected but the additional time spent may be charged to you.
9. All work will be completed by the deadlines agreed unless you are previously notified by ADMIN ALLY.
10. Any future works should be requested in writing by way of an email to info@adminally.co.uk so a further quotation can be prepared and agreed.

PAYMENT
