Terms of Service.

1 Service Scope and Duration

• All services are delivered as one-time digital projects unless otherwise specified.
• Clients must begin and complete their project within 60 calendar days from purchase. This includes intake calls, revisions, and final approvals.
• Projects delayed due to client inactivity beyond 60 days may be considered closed. Reopening is subject to availability and may incur a restart fee.
• Pricing at time of purchase is honored for 60 days. If your project is reopened after expiration and prices have increased, a price adjustment may apply in accordance with California law.

• Projects begin when the client provides all required intake information or completes the intake call.
• If new employment history or role information is provided after a draft has been delivered, a $100 fee per position applies.
