These Terms outline the conditions for working with the Designer on all design and animation projects. By entering into a project, the Client agrees to the following.
1. Project Phases & Approval
Project phases: (Once a phase is approved, it is considered final and locked)
Storyboard → Client Review & Approval
Animatic → Client Review & Approval
Final Render → Client Review & Approval
Rendering / Compositing → Final Delivery
2. Revisions
Revisions are a normal part of the creative process, and each project phase includes one round of revisions to refine the work. Any additional revisions beyond the included round are billed at an hourly rate, and changes requested after a phase has already been approved will be treated as a new stage of work. This ensures the project stays organized, timelines remain realistic, and every adjustment is handled with the care it deserves.
Each phase includes one (1) round of revisions
Additional revisions at that stage are billed at $50/hour.
Any changes requested after a phase has been approved will be treated as a new stage, billed at the full cost of that phase, with one revision included.
3. Payment Terms
Payment terms ensure clarity for both parties before work begins. A non‑refundable deposit is required to start the project, with the remaining balance due upon completion and before final files are delivered. Usage rights are only transferred once full payment has been received.
A 50% non‑refundable deposit is required before work begins.
The remaining 50% is due upon completion and before final files are delivered
No usage rights are transferred until payment is received in full.
