Remaining balances are invoiced upon completion or in line with agreed milestones.

Final assets will be delivered only once full payment is received.

We want you to be happy with the result. Our proposals typically include 2–3 rounds of revisions per deliverable.
We ask that feedback is:
-
Consolidated and clear
-
Provided within reasonable timeframes (typically within 5 working days)
Extra rounds of revisions or significant changes outside the original brief may incur additional charges.
5. Project Timelines
We’ll give you a realistic project timeline at the outset. Timelines depend on prompt feedback, availability of content, and sign-off at key stages.
If delays occur due to circumstances outside our control (e.g. late content, illness, force majeure), we’ll inform you and adjust timelines accordingly.

You agree to:
-
Provide necessary content, brand materials, and feedback promptly
-
Ensure that any material you supply (text, images, etc.) does not infringe copyright or intellectual property rights
-
Respond to communications within a reasonable timeframe
We cannot be held responsible for delays caused by missing content or communication breakdowns.

Once full payment is made, you own the final deliverables we’ve created for you (e.g. logos, graphics, websites) for use in your business.
We Retain:
We retain the right to showcase the work in our portfolio, website, and promotional materials, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
You Don’t Own:
-
Any drafts, mock-ups, or unused concepts remain our property unless a separate agreement is made
-
Our design process, tools, templates, or source files (e.g. raw .psd or .ai files) unless specifically included
8. Third-Party Tools & Integrations
Some services may involve third-party software, hosting platforms, or plugins (e.g. Squarespace, WordPress, Google Ads). You are responsible for maintaining any associated subscriptions or licences unless explicitly covered in your agreement with us.
We are not liable for the functionality or availability of third-party services we do not control.

You may cancel a project at any time by written notice. If you cancel:
-
Any work completed up to that point will be invoiced accordingly
-
Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced
-
Refunds are not available for completed digital work or downloadable assets
We reserve the right to cancel a project if the client is unresponsive, fails to meet payment obligations, or violates our Terms. In such cases, we will invoice for any work completed.
