PAYMENT
“The Client” agrees to pay a 50% deposit of the quoted amount to commence any design project, with the balance payable prior to delivery. Once research, resources allocated or design work has commenced on a project, this deposit is non-refundable. In the case of a change of mind by “The Client” this deposit is non-refundable. MYD endeavors to provide graphic and web design services that meet and exceed a client’s needs and expectations, but in the event of a “change of mind” (after a project has commenced) by “The Client”, the initial 50% deposit is forfeited, plus a prorata payment based upon the time spent.
If the work time exceeds 4 calendar weeks in duration, “The Client” agrees to a progress payment of 50% of the balance per month until the conclusion of the project, with any outstanding amount payable in full upon delivery.
All printing accounts must be settled in full prior to the release of the files to the printer.
Accounts which are not paid COD will incur a late administration fee of $20 + GST. Accounts which remain outstanding for 14 days after the date of invoice will incur an additional late payment fee equivalent to 5% of the project costs for each week payment is outstanding. If you are having difficulty paying your invoice, please get in touch as soon as you are aware of the issue, so we can discuss a solution that works for your company.
DESIGN SAMPLES
“The Client” agrees to supply for free, in addition to fees for service, any number up to 10 of printed samples of every item produced for “The Client” by “Mary Yarak Designs” during the course of this project (quantity to be specified by us). “The Client” also agrees to allow a small credit with a link to the front page at www.maryyarakdesigns.com.au on the footer of any/all pages designed by MYD. Removal of this credit constitutes a breach of these terms and conditions.
“The Client” also agrees to allow MYD to showcase any/all work created in the course of a project as part of MYD portfolio. MYD acknowledges the confidential nature of projects and agrees to only display project work once product/site has been publicly launched/commences.
FORCE MAJEURE

FEES FOR SERVICE
It is agreed that the fee for service shall be the cost estimates provided via email, unless work undertaken exceeds work outlined. If work undertaken exceeds the items specified in the quote, “The Client” agrees to pay appropriate fees for the excess work, outside the scope of the original agreement. Wherever possible the client will be notified of increases in the scope of the project.
ADDITIONAL WORK
This is defined as any work involving additions to the list of items defined in the Project Proposal or changes to all pieces of finished artwork after sign off by an authorised representative of “The Client”.
From time to time “The Client” will require extra design requirements during a project, or extra files upon completion of a project. The client will be informed that the alterations or changes requested fall outside the scope of the original estimate. If the client wishes these alterations to be made they must agree in writing, and a fee of $100 (plus GST if applicable) per hour will be payable.
Should additional design not initially quoted for be requested during the design process, a progress payment will be payable prior to further work being carried out. Otherwise, all additional costs will be added to the final invoice, payable prior to delivery of design files.
