Estimated Time and Costs
Prior to any project, Design a la carte will provide the client with a detailed estimate of the time and money required for project completion. If the scope or deliverables of the project change, Design a la carte will provide the client with a revised quote before moving forward. Remember: our ability to meet deadlines is predicated upon the client's provision of all necessary information and approvals in a timely manner.

Printing fees and/or Internet Hosting fees will be estimated separately and payment arrangements made between client and printer and/or ISP.

Payment Schedule:
50% of the estimate is due upon project commencement. Balance (50% plus any additional third party expenses) are payable upon completion. Invoices are payable upon receipt. Payment is accepted via Personal or Business Checks.

Termination Policy:
Client and Designer may terminate the project based upon mutually agreeable terms to be determined in writing, either prior to agreement with the initial proposal or within the final Client-Designer Contract. Rejection of the completed project by the client or cancellation during its execution will result in forfeiture of the initial 50% deposit.

Copyrights:
Upon payment for the completed project, the client becomes the owner of any and all materials designed for him/her by Design a la carte. The designer retains personal rights to use the completed project and any preliminary designs for the purpose of design competitions and the marketing of the designer's business.
