Prior to beginning work, a non-refundable deposit is required. The deposit is set according to the total cost of the project.

Final payment is due upon completion, once the final product is approved and before the final package is delivered. Emini Creative owns all rights until final payment has been made.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Project Scope
Additional costs will be applied for all requests that fall out of the originally agreed upon scope of the project. Examples: Exceeding the agreed upon number of concepts or revisions, major design changes to previously approved designs, new requests that were not previously discussed etc… Should the scope of the project change, we will work together to define additional work needed and all associated costs.

Abandoned Projects
A project will be archived if we have been unable to make contact over a period of 5 business days. Once contact has been re-established, a waiting period may be necessary before placing the project on our active schedule again. A project is considered abandoned when we have been unable to make contact after 10 business days. Client is responsible for payment for all work completed, as well as any cancellation fees applied. All rights to project designs and original art will be retained by Emini Creative.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Cancellations
