LOGO DESIGN

Drafting Process

The drafting process is to create a process which moves forward in a specific direction as determined by the Client. The Client may request significant changes in the 1st and 2nd draft cycles, but by the 3rd draft, the Client's requests shall be modifications of the current composition only.

Payment Schedule

The Client is required to pay the full amount of the service before commencement of the project, and will not be entitled to a refund: If the Client approves the final logo design.

If we have begun creating variations on a first draft logo.
If the company we are making the logo for closes, changes their name, or their activity.
If we do not hear back from the Client for more than 3 months.
If the Client obtains a logo design from a 3rd party.

In the event of project termination, all artwork remains the exclusive intellectual property and copyright of PaperWeb Design.

Refunds

If the Client is not satisfied with the first draft provided by PaperWeb Design, the Client may choose to:

Terminate the design project. No costs will be incurred and the full amount will be refunded.
Request for additional concepts to be generated. If upon the second set of concepts the client is still not satisfied, they may also terminate the project, however an administrative fee of $350.00 will be incurred.
If the client requests additional concepts after the second set of concepts have been created, a charge of $77/hour will be incurred, which is additional to the quoted price of the logo design service.

Once the Client requests variations on any of the initial concepts (including the first draft concepts), the Client shall forfeit the right to the refund as outlined above.
