Privacy, Terms and Billing

All work requests subject to consultant availability to fit tasks needed.

Projects and Ad-hoc Services (anything not based on retainer or subscription):

Projects are any services other than those directly included within a retainer or subscription plan. Projects typically require 50% deposit up front, 25% payment upon design or milestone approval, 25% remainder upon next milestone (or C.O.D. upon project completion or delivery of final files/product). Any outstanding balance is due within 30 days from receipt of invoice unless there is a valid Purchase Order and agreed terms in place. For long-time clients we are flexible and often waive upfront fees.

 

PAYMENT TYPES ACCEPTED

We accept payment via bank transfer, from major credit cards via Stripe payment gateway, or via Wise or Gusto. For some products a Purchase Order may be accepted in lieu of initial payment (a deposit may still be required).

SALES TAX

None of our services are subject to sales tax.

CANCELATION

We will retain customer data for at least 6 months from cancellation in the event that the customer decides to re-instate their account with us. Even though we make periodic backups we are not responsible for loss of data, regardless of the time frame (so we encourage customers to keep their own frequent backups).

Subscriptions:

You may cancel your paid plan at any time with 30 days prior written notice.

No credit will be issued for unused subscription periods.

Projects:

If for any reason a client project is canceled before completing the work as designated within an agreed upon SOW the Client agrees to pay for all materials and work performed up to the point of cancellation.

NON-PAYMENT

Subscriptions:

In the event of customer non-payment of subscription services we will make every effort to contact the customer to see if payment can be continued. There is a grace period of 30 days for an annual subscription, and 15 days grace period for subscriptions less than 12 months.

If payment is in arrears past the grace period we reserve the right to discontinue services (disable the account and stop work).

Projects:

In the event of customer non-payment for project work that was performed, we reserve the right to pursue all available legal measures or ‘collections’ in order to collect payment.

For credit card transactions we use a third party secure credit card payment gateway service as the credit card processor. All credit card processing and security measures are handled by our credit card payment gateway service. All purchases are transacted using a secure payment gateway. All credit card data is transmitted via a 3rd party payment gateway using their servers and a secure (encrypted) HTTPS protocol according to current SSL standards. Our credit card payment gateway service is PCI compliant, which is the highest and most stringent security standard available for online purchases with a credit card. More on PCI compliance here.

No credit card information is ever stored by us. When purchases are made online we store company information such as Company Name, Contact Name, Address, Email Address, and Phone Number. Regarding credit card information we are only aware of the last 4 digits of the credit card, and the status of any transactions.

When you purchase our services the payment gateway provider sends us a confirmation message with customer details, but does NOT provide us with any payment information. We never receive or collect ANY credit card information. All customer files and data (other than credit card info) are stored on our web host provider’s servers. Their security policy can be found here.

In addition to security measures implemented by our web host provider, we also incorporate several security patches and other security measures that are continuously updated in order to protect customer data from online hackers.
