We respect your ownership. Intellectual property rights regarding paid client projects (logos, websites, designs) are governed strictly by the specific Proposal or Master Services Agreement (MSA) signed at the start of our project, not by this website policy.

3. Use of Services & Payments

When engaging our design or creative services, specific project scope, deliverables, payment schedules, and revision limits will be outlined in a separate proposal.

• Invoicing: Payment terms are specified per project. Late fees may apply as outlined in your specific project contract.

4. Store & Refund Policy

Due to the custom nature of creative work, refunds for design services are governed by the cancellation clauses in your specific project contract.

• Physical Goods: Returns are accepted within 14 days of receipt if the item is unused and in original packaging. Please contact us to initiate a return.
