Terms & Conditions
We're going to make some beautiful brand magic together! Now what?
Welcome to the "Official Stuff"
The “Do”s, the “Don’t”s and the expectations for our project together, so that everyone involves comes out the other side going “That was Freaking Awesome!”
These official Terms and Conditions make sure that everyone is on the same page and we all come out the other side, going “That was f*cking AWESOME!!!”
While I love a good gander, the rest of this page is going to be super serious (Yuck, I know, but it must be done).
Please take some time to comb through every section and make sure you are happy (and fully understand) the T&Cs.

additional fee for additional calendar days to be allocated to the project. - If the client is unresponsive or is unable to provide details/content in a timely manner we will mark the project as “archived”.

- Each design service stated on the invoice is allocated up to 2 (two) inclusive revision rounds. Once the design is signed off by the client, any additional changes will be charged accordingly.
A revision is a minor alteration. A revision request narrows down the scope for future revisions to those changes and treats everything else that has not been requested to be revised as agreed upon. Any additional requests that are outside this scope are considered changes in direction and are subject to additional charges.
