SERVICE AGREEMENT

Cancellation and Stagnancy

The Client has the right to terminate the agreement. In the event of termination, the Vendor will be paid for all expenses incurred on all fees for work done up to date of termination. All concepts and work produced up to date of termination remain the property of the Vendor. Use of work done in connection with the project without consent from the Vendor could result in additional fees or legal action.
Projects placed on hold for more than 30 days will automatically be billed for work completed and are subject to termination and revised estimate if kept on hold for 60 days.

Ownership and Usage

• Until full payment of project, the Vendor will retain ownership of all related materials.
• The Vendor retains the right to use all materials in the event of educational purposes, portfolio inclusion, contest entry, and exhibition display.
• In the event that several solutions are being submitted, the solution selected by the Client for production becomes the Client’s property. All other design solutions in all forms remain the property of the Vendor.
  Electronic art will remain in possession of the Vendor unless specifically negotiated at the time of agreement. The Vendor will be responsible for storage of this artwork for three years.

Proofing of Final Project

• The Client will sign off on a conceptual proof of the project to be completed.
• The Vendor will ensure that all spelling, grammatical, and visual errors will not be made until the final proof is signed off.
• The Vendor is not responsible for any unwanted spelling or design aspects once the final proof has been signed off.

Billing Arrangement

• The Client will be charged at the agreed upon Rate for every hour of production performed by the Vendor.
• The Client will be billed on the 1st and 15th of each month. If the Client has never contracted business with the Vendor before, or the Project cost exceeds $500, a 50% deposit must be paid before production begins and 50% after final proof has been signed off.
• Outside costs, such as printing, copywriting and photography, are estimated at actual cost plus a 15% handling fee.

Late Payment Penalty

• If the Client fails to pay the Vendor in full more than thirty days after date of invoice, a $30 late fee will be debited to the Client’s balance, and will be debited repeatedly for every month after for when payment is past due.

Estimate Accuracy

• The estimate provided is within ± 10% of actual costs. Estimates are provided for client’s budgeting convenience and, since estimates of a creative project are difficult to anticipate, this estimate should not be construed as a firm quotation. In the event that there are client revisions to the specified task, every effort will be made to keep the client apprised of additional costs.
