If you choose to pre-pay on annual basis for your website, we will waive the initial setup fee. However, the setup fees for any additional services are still payable, unless the package you select offers these for free.

However, should we become VAT registered at any point during our commercial relationship, we reserve the right to apply VAT at the appropriate rate to your invoice, which would be made payable to us.
