POLICIES/CLIENT CONTRACT
REVISIONS
Please be sure to read over our policies before booking. You are agreeing to these terms and policies upon booking ANY service.
Two (2) complimentary revisions are included for all work. Additional revisions incur a fee of $15 or more. The fee price will depend on what needs to be edited and the complexity. This is to ensure a steady work flow so projects can be completed in a reasonable time frame. Revision fee is to be paid before work commences.
Revisions take 2 business days or more. Revisions are not included in turnaround times.
Revisions are not the opportunity to get a new design. Revisions are corrections and adjustments made to the original concept given by the client upon booking to help us both progress to the final design. If the client wishes to change the overall concept that was given upon booking, the service is to be purchased again.
For all projects under $400, full payment is required. For all projects over $500, a 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required. The remaining balance is due BEFORE your files are sent over to you.

Clients are advised to give projects sufficient time for completion for these reasons: revisions may be needed, there may be a peak in the orders received or prior orders may take slightly longer than expected. Tray Creative offers reasonable timeframes for each project and works to accommodate all projects. However, additional time may be needed if it is a busy season.

However, due to the work produced or in queue, payments already received by Tray Creative will not be refunded in order to offset the loss of business.
