TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BELOW ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY WRITTEN AND PLACED TO PROTECT YOU
("THE CLIENT/CUSTOMER") AND MYSELF ("ALANA KARIN DESIGNS"). IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU VIEW THESE TERMS
PRIOR TO PURCHASING OR CONTACTING ME FOR PROJECTS.
PAYMENTS + PRICING
All pricing at Alana Karin Designs is subject to change at any time and becomes effective upon posting to this site. If there has been an agreed pricing between Alana Karin and the client before changes have been made, it will remain valid until that project is complete. For projects $499 and under, payment in full is required before work will begin. For projects over $500, a non-refundable payment of at least 50% is required before any work will begin. Unless purchasing directly from the site, full payment or deposits must be paid within 72 hours of receipt of invoice or the project is subject to cancellation. All remaining unpaid balances will be due within 72 hours of your final approval of the design concept. Once the final payment is made, the project will be finalized and all files will be sent to you.
Currently, payments are all made via Paypal or with a debit/credit card. No project will begin until payment has been 100% cleared. There is also a payment link available in the footer of the website for additional fees you may need to pay.
REFUNDS + CANCELLATIONS
Alana Karin Designs does not provide refunds for any services unless agreed upon. Having buyers remorse or wanting to use another company instead is not a suitable means for a refund. Once payment has been made to Alana Karin Designs, the project will begin in the time frame given to the client. It is advised that you give the project ample time for completion for these reasons: revisions may be needed, it may be a peak in the orders received and prior work received may take longer than expected. I provide a suitable time frame, however, there may be an additional business day or two needed before I can begin if it is a busy time. If for any reason you want to cancel a service already rendered or paid for, that is your choice. However, due to the work produced or in queue, payments already received by Alana Karin Designs will not be refunded in order to offset the loss of business. If partial work has already been received by the client and they choose to cancel, the partial or full payment that has been paid will not be refunded. Ownership of all artwork, layouts and development will remain the property of Alana Karin Designs and remaining work will not be sent to the client for their ownership. If the project is in its final stage, ownership will be transferred to the client after full payment is received.
The only reason any monies will be refunded is in the event Alana Karin Designs is unable to complete the project for personal reasons or illness. If you want to cancel, and your project has not been started yet, a full refund will be provided.
DRAFTS
Draft images of ANY kind are for the purpose of approval only. They may not be copied, manipulated, or distributed to any other person or company other than those directly involved with the project without prior permission from Alana Karin. All drafts works are the property of Alana Karin Designs.
REVISIONS
For all projects done by Alana Karin Designs, there is a three (3) revision limit. After that, all additional revisions will incur a $20 fee per revision. For larger scale projects like web design, the number of revisions is limited to 4. This is to ensure a steady work flow so your project can be completed in a reasonable time frame.
DESIGN CONTENT
It is important to have a vision of some kind for your business so it can be relayed to me. If you want me to freestyle my ideas for your project, keep in mind our creative visions may not match. This can lead to more revisions than needed. It is best to at least have some form of concept on the project you are purchasing. Clients are required to submit all HIGH QUALITY photos and/or verbiage (text) they need for their project. Pixelated photos will not result in the best quality design. Please refrain from submitting dull phone images. Please make sure all submitted content is spell checked and not subject to copyright. Alana Karin Designs may revise submitted content if deemed necessary for the project. Any revisions on my end will be communicated first.
TIMEFRAMES
It is extremely important for Alana Karin Designs to complete projects in a timely manner. However, due to the uniqueness of each project and client, more time may be needed for satisfied completion. Please be advised that this relates to business days only. During peak/busy times, there may be an extension in the design timeframe of 1-3 business days. Weekends and Holidays are not included in the time frame of any project.
CONTENT DELIVERY FILES/POLICY
All design only projects are sent to you ("The Client/Customer") in the form of email from me ("Alana Karin Designs"). Logo designs will always be sent in JPG, PNG, PDF and .Ai or .PSD format. There is an additional charge for PSD and Ai files of $75. Other digital projects (flyers, business cards, website graphics, etc) are sent in JPG or PNG format. If a PDF file is needed, Alana Karin Designs will need to be contacted to supply that for you.
All core PSD or .AI files remain the property of Alana Karin Designs, even if a copy has been supplied to you. Once a project has been finalized and the files have been delivered to you, (with the exception of core files) you own the rights to what you have purchased. Copyrighting and/or trademarking your logo is solely up to you and not the responsibility of Alana Karin Designs.
Once completed, you (the client) also give Alana Karin Designs the right to use for portfolio and/or marketing purposes unless agreed upon otherwise.
