Payment

Payment terms: In the case of projects exceeding $5,000 USD, clients have the option to submit a 25% deposit of the total project cost, with the remaining amount due upon project completion. Initially, clients will receive low-resolution watermarked images and videos, which will be replaced with full-size, un-watermarked versions upon receipt of the balance. It is important to note that if both parties agree in writing, alternative payment terms may supersede this section.

 

Non-Payment: In the event that payment for our services is not received, we reserve the right to initiate legal action to collect the outstanding payments. Furthermore, we may request the removal of any Content that we have delivered to you but remains unpaid. To safeguard our rights, we may also seek injunctive relief to prevent the unpaid Content from being published, reproduced, or displayed.

 

It is important to understand that if you choose to publish or use our Content without remitting payment, we may pursue legal action for actual, statutory, and punitive damages for copyright infringement. We take the protection of our intellectual property seriously and will take necessary measures to enforce our rights.

Refund Policy

Under specific circumstances as detailed below, payments made to us may be eligible for a refund. Please note that apart from the instances mentioned, no other refunds, returns, exchanges, or modifications can be accommodated except for the following:

 

Cancellation: In the event that you wish to cancel your order, you have the option to do so within the specified time frame.

Please note that cancellation requests must be submitted within 48 hours of the project start date.

 

It is important to understand that refunds cannot be provided for projects that are cancelled within 48 hours of the project start date. Additionally, due to the time-sensitive nature of rush orders, they cannot be cancelled once placed.
