These terms and conditions ('Terms') set out the rights, obligations and restrictions that apply between the Customer and the Company when the Customer purchases the Company’s services and accesses the Company’s website and platform at www.adadvent.com (“Platform”) and/or accesses, uses or downloads any of the data and services provided by the Company. In order to use the Services, the Customer must (a) be 18 or older, or be 13 or older and have their parents’ or guardians’ consent to these Terms and (b) have the power to enter into a binding contract and not be barred from doing so under any applicable law. The Customer warrants that any information submitted to the Company is true, accurate and complete, and the Customer agrees to keeping it up to date at all times.
Formation of Contract
The Company offers various services, i.e. redesign, redrawing and brushup of slides based on drafts provided by the Customer ('Services'). The Company's Services are provided either on a case–by–case basis as ordered by the Customer or as a subscription service. The Customer places an order by uploading to the Platform draft slides containing text and/or graphics. The Company will contact you to discuss your the requirements of the ‘Customer’. According to the work that needs to be done, the Company quotes an approximate price and delivery time, which is an invitation to offer. It does not constitute an offer to sell and cannot be legally relied upon. By accepting the price quoted, the Customer makes an offer to buy. A contract for the Company's sale of the Services is formed when the Company accepts the Customer's offer in writing. When agreeing to the quoted price, the Customer enters into a binding and irrevocable agreement. The Customer will have to pay an advance as quoted by the Company before the commencement of the work and the rest will be paid at the delivery of the presentation.
Services and Delivery
The Company delivers the Services via email to the deadline agreed with the Customer. Upon delivery of the Services, the Customer is entitled to two revisions of the Services free of charge. Additional revisions will be billed at a rate that will be determined by the Company with the amount of work needed to be done. After the second revision, requests made by the Customer for work to be carried out on the Services delivered and revised will be billed at a separate rate. The Company will inform the Customer of the price before commencing the work. Free revision of Services delivered does not include any incorporation of new ideas of the Customer. Delivery of the Services is made in a .ppt or .pptx file or in any other formats specified by the Customer when placing an order, and will be available immediately after approval of the slides. The Customer approves the Services either after the first delivery or after the first or second revision. In order to maintain efficiency in the Company's business, if the Customer has not responded by the Company's third attempt to contact the Customer to have the Services and/or revisions approved, the Company will consider the Services and any revisions approved and the Customer's payment card will be charged in accordance with the below chapter on payment.
Payment
The Customer pays per delivery. Payment for the Services falls due immediately upon the Customer’s approval of the slides on the Platform, or upon the Company’s third attempt to contact the Customer to have the Services and/or revisions approved, as the case may be. Credit packages fall due immediately when placing an order for a package. The payment card provided by the Customer at the time of purchase is charged on the due date as specified above.
Waiver of Statutory Right to Cancel the Purchase
This section applies exclusively to customers acting as consumers. Normally, a cancellation period of 14 days from the day of purchase applies to a contract for the supply of digital content. However, when the Customer places an order for the delivery of Services, the Customer requests the Company to begin the supply of digital content during the 14 day cancellation period applicable. Thus, the Customer acknowledges and agrees the payment made and that the Customer will not be entitled to receive a refund of their payment. The initial amount (the advance) will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Usage Policy
The Company may impose limits on certain features and services or restrict the Customer's access to parts or all of the Services without liability. Where these changes or suspensions would amount to a termination of the Services, the Customer may be entitled to a refund of the reasonable part of any charges paid by the Customer. The Customer can reproduce, publish, transmit, distribute, license, publicly display, rent or lend, modify, any data delivered by the Company, sell or participate in the sale of any of the Services provided by the Company.
Availability of Services
The Company endeavours to offer a smooth and reliable service but gives no guarantee, and does not warrant, that the Services and the Platform will be free of fault or that the Platform will be uninterrupted. If a fault does occur, the Customer may report it to Customer Services, and the Company will attempt to correct the fault as quickly as possible. The Company will occasionally restrict access to the Platform to carry out repairs, maintenance or to introduce new functionality or services and the Company will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum. New services are subject to a period of testing. This means that new services may not perform with complete functionality, may be undergoing testing, may be inconsistently available, may have software "bugs" being fixed and may have other issues affecting availability and functionality.

The Company may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms to any new provider of the Services, without the prior consent of the Customer.
