GENERAL WORKING AGREEMENT

This document defines the terms and conditions of our working relationship. All projects or services that Urban Purple may be contracted to produce or provide for the client will be subject to the following:

WORKING/BILLING PHASES

Based on our experience with long-term design communications projects, we have found that it is mutually advantageous to handle each project in logical working/billing phases.

Concept revisions, extensive alterations, or a switch in marketing objectives sometimes makes it impossible to accurately estimate in advance the total cost of a project. Planning the work, cost estimating, and billing in several phases permits Urban Purple or to adjust for such revisions/or halt work before completion if a project is postponed or canceled. Any canceled project is billed only through phases and/or portions of phases that were completed by Urban Purple plus a cancellation fee of $250. For each project, the client will receive a proposal /estimate outlining the project specifications and our proposed scope of services and working/billing phases. Each proposal estimate will contain a project budget, which includes estimated fees for professional services and separate itemized costs for anticipated out-of-pocket expenses.

We will begin work upon CLIENT’S approval of the written estimate. Your approval (written or oral) will constitute an agreement between us.

PAYMENT/ESTIMATES

CLIENT agrees to pay Urban Purple in accordance with the terms specified in each proposal/estimate. For all projects that are at the value of $500 and up, will be required to pay 50% of the project cost before work can begin. Projects below the value of $500, the client has to pay 100% of the project cost before the work can begin.

Free consultations cover answering questions about Urban Purple services and helping clients decide if they want to hire Urban Purple to perform those services. If a client asks Urban Purple to “work” on a project, this is billable time. Billable time includes not only making changes, but also doing research, reviewing projects and editing designs.

Urban Purple only accepts compensation in US dollars. Urban Purple does not accept trade for the services that a client might offer; this includes partnerships in a client's business. Payments are accepted via credit cards/debit cards/e-checks through PayPal.

Urban Purple accepts serious inquiries only. Invoices are sent for items that are not listed on the site such as a custom package. To ensure that Urban Purple only deal with serious clients, all invoices must be paid within 48 hours. If an invoice is not paid within 48 hours it will be canceled and Urban Purple has the right to decline the project.

Unless otherwise specified, all subsequent balances due are payable upon art approval. Interest on past due balances is 18% per annum or 1.5% per month. We reserve the right to refuse completion or delivery of work until past due balances are paid.

All payments are accepted via Urban Purple website or via PayPal invoice. E-checks through PayPal are accepted but please keep in mind, any work will not began until the e-check has cleared (usually 3-5 business days).

Client requested changes will be billed additionally. The client will be notified of any price changes.

REFUNDS/EXCHANGES

All designs are subject to a complete 100% NON-refundable payment from client. Please understand that under no circumstance can a refund be given after work (including proofs) have been issued and/or labor has begun.

Reimbursement for mileage is calculated at current allowable rates.

REVISIONS AND ALTERATIONS

New work requested by the client and performed by Urban Purple after a proposal/estimate has been approved is considered a revision or alteration. If the job changes to an extent that substantially alters the specifications described in the original estimate, we will submit a proposal revision memo to you, and a revised additional fee must be agreed to by both parties before further work proceeds.

Author’s alterations and other copy changes requested after layouts or mechanicals are completed are billed at standard hourly rates.

OVERTIME

Estimates are based on a reasonable time schedule, and may be revised to take into consideration your “Priority Scheduling” requests requiring overtime and weekends. Knowledge of your deadlines is essential to provide an accurate estimate. In addition, outside suppliers such as service bureaus charge a 100% to 200% markup on overtime after 5:30pm and weekends.

It is the sole responsibility of the client to make sure they have provided Urban Purple with the correct shipping address.

Urban Purple offers a general overview of the length of time it will take to complete each project. This time frame is calculated based on production time and communication time with client. If a client is slow to respond or is not communicating effectively with Urban Purple, this time frame will be null and void. Most drafts and proofs for digital and printed designs are sent within seven business days or less. If more than one design was ordered with a logo, the other designs will be dependent on how soon the client approves the logo. Large Projects will generally take 3-6 weeks depending on how fast the client can provide ALL content.
