7. Printing & Third-Party Production
Printing and production services are not included in the design fee and are offered only if requested at the start of the project.
If the Company assists with printing or third-party production, such services are billed separately and may include coordination time, vendor communication, production oversight, in-person print reviews, sample evaluations, travel, and administrative costs. All printing-related fees are variable and estimates are non-binding.
If the Client prints independently or hires a third-party printer not arranged by the Company, the Company shall not be liable for printing defects, color variances, paper stock inconsistencies, production delays, shipping delays, vendor errors or omissions.

9. Payment Terms
Full payment (100%) is required upfront to secure your project and begin the design process. Work will not begin until all required project details and full payment have been received. Once design work has started, all payments are non‑refundable due to the time, labor, and creative expertise involved in creating custom designs.
10. Project Timeline
Project timelines begin only after full payment and all required information, materials, and approvals are received. Delays caused by Client inaction may result in adjusted timelines or rescheduling.
11. Revisions & Redesigns
The design fee includes up to two (2) minor revisions only. Requests beyond the included revisions or changes that significantly alter the original design direction constitute a redesign and require a new design fee.

To facilitate this, the Client must respond to proofs via email or the Company’s client portal using one of the following choices:
- Accept: The Client accepts the design as-is. Upon approval, the project is deemed finalized and accepted.
- Reject: The Client does not accept the design and must provide specific comments or feedback for changes. This response will be counted as one of the two (2) included minor revisions.

The Company shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or issues present in materials that were approved by the Client.

Any request for modification, correction, or updates after final approval shall be treated as a Post-Production Revision and billed separately in accordance with Section 16.

16.1 Final Approval Effect: Upon written approval of final proofs and/or release of files for production, the project is deemed completed and accepted.
