working with steelkey

I have worked many different ways over the years, and i have found the key to a successful project is always planning and making sure everyone understands the requirements and objectives upfront. My ultimate goal is to make sure you are happy and the project flows as smoothly as possible.
Below are my business terms which help the process along the way by elminating any nasty surprises which can sometimes arise.

  • Copyright of the all design materials produced remains the property of steelkey designs until full payment has been received, afterwhich the copyright will become the property of the Client. (With the exception of fine artwork to which copyright remains the property of Belinda Lindhardt and may not be reproduced in anyway without written permission.)
  • steelkey designs reserves the right to publish the work into the Agency portfolio online unless agreed to prior to work commencement.
  • 30% deposit is required on all projects over the value of $200-. Project will not commence until this deposit has been received. This books in your project on my schedule and covers running cost during your project's production.
  • Invoices are sent via email on the completion of your project and balance will be due within 7 days. Payment Plans are available but must be notified in writing prior to project commencement.
  • All content and text must be supplied in digital format i.e. via email, word or PDF document. Spell checking is ALWAYS the responsibility of the CLIENT.
  • It is assumed, that the copyright on all client supplied materials i.e. logos, images, text, photos is owned by the client and that copyright permission has been obtained for it's use.
  • Canceling design and/or development Should the Client forfeit work after project commencement the deposit will be non-refundable regardless of the amount of work produced. Either party may terminate this agreement by giving 7 days notice in writing if the terms of engagement are breached. Should such notice be given, the amount to be paid to the Agency (steelkey designs) will be based on the amount of work performed at the date of termination.
  • As email is our main form of correspondence please note that email is considered written confirmation on design signoff, project commencement and approval to proceed on a project and requirements.
  • It is the Clients responsibility to ensure all requirements are outlined prior to project commencement.
  • Alterations and Changes to the project requirements after project commencement MAY incur additional charges and must be agreed and confirmed by both parties. Any change requiring additional cost to the Client or resulting in a delay to the schedule will require approval by the steelkey designs and the Client in order to be included within the project.
If you have any queries or questions on any of my services please email Belinda email.
