We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue services at any time.

3. Payment & Pricing

All services must be paid for in full (or as per agreed milestone payment) before final deliverables are provided.

Prices are listed in USD | $ and may be updated at any time without prior notice.

Refunds are only provided in accordance with our Refund Policy (see section 7).

4. Client Responsibilities

Clients must provide accurate project details, including genre, title, author name, and any branding requirements.

All text, images, or assets provided by the client must be owned by the client or licensed for use.

Clients are responsible for proofreading all text before submitting it for final approval.

5. Revisions & Approval

We offer revisions (as specified in the service package).

Additional revisions beyond the agreed limit may incur extra charges.

Once the client approves the final design, any further edits or adjustments will be considered new work and billed accordingly.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

Client Rights: Upon full payment, clients receive a non-exclusive license to use the final cover design for commercial purposes (publishing, marketing, sales).

Designer Rights: We retain copyright ownership of all original design work. We may showcase completed projects in our portfolio, website, and marketing materials unless a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is signed.

Stock images, fonts, and third-party assets used in designs remain under their respective licenses.

7. Refund & Cancellation Policy

Due to the nature of creative services, all sales are final once design work has begun.

Refunds are only issued if no design concepts have been delivered at the time of cancellation.

If a client cancels after work has begun, a partial refund (minus design hours already spent) may be considered at our discretion.

8. Turnaround & Delivery

Estimated delivery timelines will be provided at project start.

Delays may occur due to client response times, revision requests, or unforeseen technical issues.

Final deliverables will be provided in high-resolution formats suitable for print or digital publishing.

We are not responsible for sales performance, publishing errors, or printing issues beyond our control.

Our liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific service.
