Upload all written content (rules, policies, bios, descriptions) as Google Docs or Word Docs for smooth website integration. Avoid using text messages for content transfer Quality work is our priority; we won't rush projects to meet tight deadlines. We adhere to our package timelines for the best results Photos and Videos should be uploaded to Dropbox or Google Drive folders for seamless website integration. For optimal quality, photos should be properly edited and sized by the photographer If essential information for the website isn't ready, project work won't commence, and the project will be on hold We don't edit or update websites not created by us Edits to completed websites require an active maintenance package. Clients will be charged for one month of edits for any changes needed Domains will be purchased through Domains.com or GoDaddy and then transferred to the client once the website domain is connected

All calls will be recorded and stored in the cloud. Maintain professional attire, behavior, and language to ensure a respectful interaction After each call, clients will receive a recording and a detailed brief outlining next steps and session notes The strategy session's allocated time begins with the actual strategic conversation, not the initial meet-up. Clients have 3-5 minutes for greetings and to settle in before the session begins Strategies provided are to be shared exclusively with clients' business partners or organizations. Our consulting solutions are tailored to each client's specific needs Calls exceeding the allotted time will incur additional charges on the invoice Unless under a retainer agreement, clients must clear previous balances before scheduling future consulting sessions In-person consulting sessions are billed hourly, with a small travel fee added based on location

All retainer payments are due by the 7th of each month for monthly payment plans. For Bi-Monthly payments, payments are expected on the 1st and 15th of each month. Any adjustments or delays in payments must be communicated to The SZN Group in advance. If additional work is added during an ongoing retainer agreement, the changes will take effect in the subsequent payment cycle. Retainer contracts are available for durations ranging from 3 months to 12 months.

To secure services, an initial deposit and a signed contract are mandatory. The SZN Group will initiate work only upon receipt of both components. All clients are required to undergo onboarding, which involves submitting a HoneyBook form and/or participating in a phone conversation with a team member. Quotes will be generated based on the SZN Group's pricing model and the complexity of the project. These quotes are valid for 21 days and may be adjusted based on demand. In cases where a client has multiple services within a project, the contract must encompass a detailed scope of work outlining the sequence of deliverables. Unless otherwise specified by the client, the cost of all services will be consolidated into a single invoice.

Clients are kindly requested to engage with The SZN Group in a respectful manner and maintain a harmonious demeanor throughout the project's duration. While reviewing work, clients are expected to provide feedback without resorting to rudeness or using inappropriate language or gestures. In instances where payments might be delayed, adjustments to the project are needed, or issues arise, The SZN Group encourages open and transparent discussions. If the client has a personal relationship with an employee of The SZN Group, maintaining a professional business demeanor is recommended, even if the client is a friend or colleague.

Clients experiencing missed payments have a 14-day grace period to fulfill outstanding payments for their project or retainer. If a payment extends beyond the 14-day grace period, a formal warning will be issued, and work may be temporarily paused. Should a payment exceed 30 days overdue, legal action may be initiated with notice, resulting in project suspension. For retainer payments that are two weeks overdue without prior notice, all work under the agreement will be put on hold until the invoice is settled. In cases where the final payment for a standalone project is outstanding, all deliverables will be withheld until full payment is received.

Refunds will solely be granted if a deliverable is not provided as agreed upon; they will not be issued based on personal preferences or feelings. Partial refunds are possible if a deliverable within the Graphic Design and Branding process is undelivered. After the initial deposit, no refunds will be available for Web Design and Consulting services. The SZN Group reserves the right to cancel an active project for professional reasons after the initial deposit. No refund will be provided if a client cancels after making an upfront payment. In the event of an incomplete project, The SZN Group will retain all files and concepts.
