DESIGN PROCESS
Single Point of Contact
To ensure clarity and efficiency, I request that all feedback, approvals, and project-related communication come from a single designated contact person throughout the duration of the project.
Content
You are responsible for providing all necessary content such as text, images, copy, etcetera, for your website by the date specified by the Designer.
Edits Revisions and Client Response
You are entitled to unlimited edits after the initial draft of the brand and website is delivered. The Client agrees to provide feedback and any requested edits to the Designer within four (4) days of receiving design drafts. Should the Client fail to respond within this timeframe, a delay fee of $10 per day will be applied to the project and billed by invoice. This fee will continue to accrue until the Designer receives the necessary feedback to proceed with the project. I will endeavor to complete the requested revisions promptly, typically within 2 business days, depending on the complexity of the changes.
Once the project is approved, completed and launched, it is final. I will provide videos on how to edit the site yourself. Showit and Shopify are very user-friendly platforms. If you need further edits after the completion of the project you may book a full or half day with me.
Scope of Pages
The scope of the project includes designing and developing the deliverables and number of pages specified and agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Any additional pages or significant changes to the agreed-upon scope may require a revision of the project timeline and cost.
Technical Support
I will provide technical support for the launched website for a period of 30 days after the date of launch. Technical support includes assistance with resolving issues related to the functionality and performance of the website as delivered by me. Requests for technical support must be submitted through email, and I will make reasonable efforts to address and resolve reported issues promptly.
Approval and Launch
You will have the opportunity to review the completed website before launch. Once you approve the final design, any further changes may incur additional charges.
STYLE RELEASE
Client has spent a satisfactory amount of time reviewing Contractor’s work and has a reasonable expectation that Contractor’s Services will produce a reasonably similar outcome and result for Client. Contractor will use reasonable efforts to ensure Client’s services are carried out in a style and manner consistent with Contractor’s current portfolio and services, and Contractor will try to incorporate any suggestions Client makes. However, Client understands and agrees that:
Every client and final delivery is different, with different tastes, budgets, and needs;
The services provided are subjective and Contractor is a provider with a unique vision, with an ever-evolving style and technique;
Contractor will use her personal judgment to create favorable results for Client, which may not include strict adherence to Client’s suggestions
Dissatisfaction with Contractor’s independent judgment or individual management style are not valid reasons for termination of this Agreement or request of any monies returned.
LIMIT OF LIABILITY
Client agrees that the maximum amount of damages she is entitled to in any claim of or relating to this Agreement or Services provided herein are not to exceed Contractor’s total cost as set forth in this Agreement.
INDEMNIFICATION
Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Contractor and its employees, agents and independent contractors for any injury, property damage, liability, claim or other cause of action arising out of or related to Services provided herein.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Client and related parties/ participants expressly assume any risk of the services provided and related activities as described herein.
NON-DISPARAGEMENT
The Parties mutually agree not to make public defamatory statements that would materially harm the reputation or business activities of any Parties to this Agreement.
PROJECT SCHEDULE AND CLIENT AVAILABILITY
The Services under this Agreement are scheduled to be performed during the following dates: JUNE 23 through JULY 23, 2025.
By signing this Agreement, Client confirms their availability and commitment to participate actively during the Scheduled Project Period, including but not limited to: providing requested materials, responding to communications within 2 days, attending scheduled meetings or calls, and ensuring that any third parties essential to the project completion are also available during this timeframe.
Client acknowledges that the project timeline and delivery dates are contingent upon Client's timely participation and cooperation throughout the Scheduled Project Period. Any delays in Client's responsiveness or availability may result in project timeline extensions beyond the original scheduled completion date.
If the project extends beyond the Scheduled Project Period due to Client's failure to meet the availability and participation requirements outlined above, the provisions set forth in the "PROJECT DELAYS DUE TO CLIENT" section below shall apply, including the fifteen percent (15%) reschedule fee and immediate payment of outstanding amounts.
CANCELLATIONS AND RESCHEDULING
CLIENT DESIRES TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE If the Client desires to cancel Services of Contractor for any reason at any time, then Client shall provide notice within 5 days of signing this contract. Contractor will not be obligated to refund any portion of monies Client has previously paid to Contractor outside of these 5 days. If Contractor is able to re-book further services on or before Client's original delivery date, Client may be issued a credit for future services with Contractor at Contractor's discretion. Contractor has no obligation to attempt to re-book further Services to make up for Client's cancellation or rescheduling.
CONTRACTOR DESIRES TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE In the event Contractor cannot or will not perform her obligations in any or all parts of this Agreement, it (or a responsible party) will immediately give Notice to Client, and at the Contractor's discretion, either attempt to find a reasonable substitute to fulfill the terms of this Agreement or issue a refund or credit based on a reasonably accurate percentage of Services rendered. In the case of a refund where, at the discretion of the Contractor, no reasonable substitute is found, Contractor shall excuse Client of further performance obligations in this Agreement.
PROJECT DELAYS DUE TO CLIENT If the project timeline extends beyond the scheduled completion date due to Client's failure to provide necessary materials, failure to respond to requests for feedback or approval within the agreed timeframes, or failure of Client's related parties to complete required tasks within the established schedule, Contractor may, at its sole discretion, allow additional time to complete Services.
In such cases, any outstanding amounts will immediately become due and payable to Contractor, plus a reschedule fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total project cost to compensate for schedule disruption and resource reallocation. This reschedule fee applies only when project delays are caused by Client actions or inactions.
PROJECT DELAYS DUE TO CONTRACTOR If the project timeline is extended due to Contractor's own scheduling needs or postponement, no reschedule fee will be applied, though any outstanding amounts remain due according to the original payment schedule.
FORCE MAJEURE Either party may choose to be excused of any further performance obligations in the event of a disastrous occurrence outside the control of either party that materially affects the performance of Services, such as: an act of God (fires, explosions, earthquakes, hurricane, natural disasters, flooding, storms or infestation), or War, Invasion, Act of Foreign Enemies, Embargo, or other Hostility (whether declared or not), or any hazardous situation created outside the control of either party such as a riot, disorder, nuclear leak or explosion, or act or threat of terrorism. In this case, monies still are non-refundable.
