3. Terms and Conditions Your use of A Perfect CV's web site is subject to the following terms and conditions, which you are deemed to accept when you use the website:
3.1 Satisfaction We aim to provide a CV Resume LinkedIn Profile that accurately reflects the relevant and most recent scope of a client's career, qualifications and achievements (based upon the information provided when placing the order, or information we subsequently request and supplied by the client in the specified format and in a timely manner. Substantial amounts or complex information provided at a later date, or not provided in the format requested, may incur an additional fee to cover the extra time involved. A fresh quote will be provided to the client at that time.
3.2 Turnaround Times - all orders are processed and a first proof produced within three working days of payment being received and satisfactorily cleared [excluding statutory holidays]. Exceptions to this are the optional 24hr Express service (check availability before ordering). The time span for clients to respond to proofs with any changes is three months. Longer periods, with additional information not previously provided, will incur an additional fee.
3.3 Payment is required in full at the time of placing the order. Payments by bank transfer. A Perfect CV has more than 100 client testimonials on LinkedIn, and many more on www.aperfectcv.com - a record which reflects the quality of service provided.
3.4 Cancellation Policy Except in exceptional circumstances, once an order has been accepted by us, it is not possible to cancel or receive a refund once service has commenced. Within the UK, all services are deemed to begin, by agreement, before the end of the cooling off period (as defined by UK's Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000), early delivery being essential to the vast majority of our clients. Furthermore, under the above-mentioned regulations, our services, with the exception of outplacement consultancy, are 'made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalised' and are therefore exempt.
3.5 Interruption and omissions in service Whilst we try to ensure that the standard of the website remains high and to maintain the continuity of it, the internet is not a totally steady medium, and errors, omissions, interruptions of services and delays may occur at any time. We do not accept any liability arising from such errors, omissions, interruptions or delays or any ongoing obligation or responsibility to operate this website. The service will be deemed to have been completed after a three-month period from submission of the first proof.
