general, relating to all commissions

Communication

The designer can be reached by telephone from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm GMT. Skype chats are welcomed at the Skype username: d.airey. Phone and Skype calls are summarised by the designer in a followup email, helping both parties keep track of specific design requirements and potential changes.

Payment schedule

The client will make a 50 percent downpayment prior to work commencing. The project can be scheduled once the downpayment is received by the designer. The downpayment is non-refundable. The remaining 50 percent is payable to the designer upon completion of the project, and before original artwork is supplied to the client.

Delayed payment

If, after the project has commenced, subsequent invoices are not paid within 30 days, a 5 percent “delayed payment” fee will be charged. This initial 5 percent figure will be added upon each recurring 30 day period until the full amount has been received by the designer.

Cancellation

If after project commencement client communication (face-to-face, telephone, or email) stops for a period of 180 days, the project can be cancelled, in writing by the designer, and ownership of all copyrights shall be retained by the designer. A cancellation fee for work completed shall be paid by the client, with the fee based on the stage of project completion. The fee will not exceed 100 percent of the total project cost.

Miscellaneous

The client shall provide the designer with samples of print design that result from the project deliverables. Such samples shall be representative of the highest quality of work produced. The designer may use such copies and samples for publication, exhibition, or other promotional purposes.
