Before work begins on any paid engagement, we will provide a written proposal or statement of work that outlines:

  • The scope of work and specific deliverables

Work will commence only after the proposal or agreement has been accepted in writing and any required deposit has been received. Verbal agreements do not constitute a binding project commitment.

Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be submitted in writing and may result in adjustments to the project timeline and cost. We will notify you of any such adjustments before proceeding.

Pricing for our services is provided on a per-project or retainer basis as outlined in your written proposal or agreement. All prices are quoted in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.
