All Time Is Billed for creating samples, revisions and for the final project even if you quit the project early. My professional time, conceptualizations, consultation and artwork are valuable. Billing includes all technical support time setting up domains and hosting.

Initial Consultation Is FREE – I don’t start billing time at the beginning with questions and answers. Billing time begins when you commit and we move into the details and planning of your project.

I bill for communications by phone, email, snail mail and for in person consultations. I bill for travel time to your meeting place.

Third party billing – any payments I make to third parties for your project are due immediately. **These payments are non-refundable as I do not guarantee third party services performance and I cannot absorb the loss. You may also pay directly to these services to guarantee recourse for any loss. **See the next column for more information on warranty.

I expect to receive payment upon receipt of invoice unless other arrangements have been made.

Your website assets may by stored remotely on my server and will be released to your server with the following conditions:

• Your website or changes are yours when funds have been cleared. I will supply all artwork and source files to you if you want them.

• I reserve the right to roll back changes, or disengage links to my server, if full payment is not received in a timely manner or if a check bounces.

• If your check bounces, all bank charges must be reimbursed. Only a cashiers check, money order or cash will then be accepted. All website assets will be transferred upon full payment.

• If you walk away from the project without making payment in full, all site assets and changes are forfeited, deleted, rolled back, links to my server severed and any payments will not refunded.

All estimates are considered general estimates and not fixed quotes or guaranteed prices. All estimates will reflect a general range. The project may be re-estimated if it’s determined that the project has changed dramatically from the initial concept or if unforeseen complexities arise or if upon deeper examination the project is larger than at first glance. We will discuss along the way alterations to the estimate. I will endeavor to keep you within your budget.

A $100 non-refundable deposit requested for most jobs. Deposits are credited to the initial or final invoice.

Payment processing fee using Credit Cards or paying through PayPal is 3%. This will be added to the total. No fee if paying with check or cash.

Billing Periods – I bill at 10 hour increments or any hours accumulated on an open project every 30 days. Projects put on hold will be immediately invoiced for all outstanding time.

I will report my hours from time to time to let you know where we stand. Please feel free to ask for an update any time.

All time is a prorated hourly minimum 15 minute increments.

It is your responsibility to PROOFREAD all work especially print jobs. I cut and paste your text about 95% of the time.

** I do not offer a warranty for functionality or quality of any third party services such as domain name registrars, hosting companies, shopping cart companies, form processing services, delivery services, printing services and any and all online services engaged by your project through you or myself. Exercise due diligence and research any suggested services before you give me approval to engage them on your behalf.

Referrals to third party services are only suggestions and you may prefer your own third party services for me to engage on your behalf. Exercise due diligence.

Emergency Rush hours invoicing – 100% payment is due on the spot at the time the project is finished unless other arrangements have been agreed upon. Charged at half hour minimum.

All time is tracked and calculated with software for accuracy.
