At Bright Flair, we try to keep things as simple as possible, including the our privicy policy and standard terms and conditions.
In a nutshell, we don't store any of your personal or business data without explicit permission from you, and when we do, we use industry leading security to keep your information safe.
Anything that you pay for belongs to you, and is owned fully by you, forever. This includes anything created for you during time that you are billed for.
This section is intended to formalise the commitment between Bright Flair Limited, hereafter referred as BRIGHTFLAIR, and you, hereafter referred as CLIENT, in terms of delivering the required solution as stated in the specification document prepared by BRIGHTFLAIR, within the required timeframes agreed by both parties.

In the event that CLIENT wishes to amend or add to the requirements outlined in the specification, BRIGHTFLAIR reserve the right to amend the quotation to cover any additional resources required. Any additional cost will be agreed with CLIENT before proceeding.
Require both parties to remain in constant and open dialogue as to the progress and implementation of the project to ensure proactive management and delivery.
