Getting down to the nitty gritty产品服务细则
Design 设计
For the projects that we are hired to design the UI, we create designs iteratively and use predominantly Objective C, Java, HTML, CSS or other software and/or tools so we won’t waste time mocking up every template as a static visual. We may use static visuals to indicate a look-and-feel direction (colour, texture and typography.) We call that ‘design atmosphere.’ Client will be request to review and approve the design of the ‘design atmosphere’ and the key elements, once the design of the key elements and the ‘design atmosphere’ is approved and confirmed by client, we would proceed to programming and further amendment on the design will be at extra cost. Design of specific artworks like Company Logo, Characters or a very specific item is not included unless further specified.
Allua Limited会用Objective C, Java, HTML, CSS 或其他程式设计用户界面。在产品开发前会先把设计蓝图提交委托方修改,包括颜色、材质及字体。在设计蓝图得到委托方通过后,产品开发程序才会展开,之后对设计蓝图作出的任何修改将会有额外收费。合同列明以外设计和素材,如企业品牌商标和品牌字体,将不会包括在报价内,相关要求将会有额外收费。
Text content 文字编写
We’re not responsible for writing or inputting any text copy unless further specified. If you’d like us to write new content or input text for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
除非特别订明,Allua Limited将不会撰写任何文案或编辑任何文字。Allua Limited将对额外的文字编写要求提供额外报价。
Photographs 照片及图像
You should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format which are ready to be used in your project directly. You should supply photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like us to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
委托方提供的图片格式需是矢量图或能方便修改的图像格式。图像需要有达到产品要求的解析度。Allua Limited将对额外的在线图像及素材购买提供额外报价。
Production制作
The resources, software, programming languages, framework, back end system (CMS), way of programming, tools, plug-ins, equipment and hardware to be used in a project will be our sole decision. We may use third parties resources, talent, staff and software for a project. In the event that you have any specific requirements on these, please make sure we have specifically put in down in our proposal as it may vary the cost significantly.

Browser or Device testing 浏览器及操作平台测试
Browser and Device testing no longer means attempting to make an Application, a Website and/or a digital solution look the same in device of different capabilities or different size screens. We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers or devices indicated in the browser and devices testing list. Client is advised to check with us for the latest list before starting a project. The work we developed will only support the browser and devices testing list. And for solutions that involve server, network connection and/or other third parties’ service, there will also be capability and/or specification requirements on these third parties’ service for the solution to work, client is advised to go check with our staff before starting the project regarding these requirements. There is a chance that modern web page and/ or other digital product design and effect is not capable to show in some browsers/devices and we won’t test in other browsers/devices unless you specify otherwise. If you need an enhanced design for specific browser/devices, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
浏览器及操作平台测试并不确保同一网络产品在不同平台浏览环境下仍能确保一致性。Allua Limited已列明会进行产品测试及开发的浏览器及操作平台,确保成品和测试平台互相兼容(联络我们取得测试平台资讯)。Allua Limited只会确保清单列出的平台运作正常,售后服务也只会限于这些平台。委托方同时需了解不同伺服器、网络设定及第三方程式的系统对该网络产品的要求。如委托方对平台测试方法有任何规定,请在拟定合约时提出。
Project Schedule and Timeline 项目时间规划
Standard time frame for User Acceptance Test of our product and/or service is one month unless further specified. Due to our limited resources, we appreciate our clients also can provide us with necessary feedback, project materials and settle required payment in a timely manner. In the event that our client is failed to do so, we reserve the right to terminate the project and we will bill you accordingly for the cost and loss accrued for such incidence.
For projects involves offline events or activities, such as event filming, we will not be held liable for outcome or cancellation of the service we provided due to weather conditions, power failure, equipment failure, absence/sickness of staff/talent or any other unforeseeable occurrences during the scheduled time of the service.

任何牵涉线下活动的产品和服务,如活动摄影,Allua Limited将不会为天气因素、电力供应问题、技术性问题、人力不足及其他不能预测的因素导致的服务中断及取消附上任何责任。
Changes and revisions 产品及服务修订
We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. The price at the beginning of each quotation is based on the length of time we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate for that.
合同列明之价钱由双方同意的制作时间的基准上计算得出。如委托方欲对制作期限或报价内容作出任何修改,Allua Limited将会对此提供额外报价。
