By checking the agreement box & paying a deposit at minimum, you ("Client") agree to retain Kimberly Sheller of Kimpeccable Designs ("Service Provider") to proceed with branding and/or design services for a Kimpeccable Design Day and agree to the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.
During your Kimpeccable Design Day, the Service Provider agrees to devote up to 8 hours to the project(s) agreed to before the design day, as well as a 30-minute design strategy call, 30-min post-design day "fix" support (if needed), and 30 days post-design day email and messaging support. Work will be performed at the Service Provider's offices, but occasionally at other locations, as required. Work priority and scheduling will be at the discretion of the Client. Work will normally occur between the hours of 9a - 5p ET on weekdays. Note: If purchasing a half-day up to 4 hours will be devoted to the project and 14 days of post-design support.
Creative Control. You understand and agree that:
● Every project does not have the same goal, direction, budget, or needs.
● The designs by the Service Provider are subjective and heavily dependent on our unique style, which may evolve over time with trends or the introduction of new technologies and/or techniques.
● You are sufficiently familiar with our body of work, style, and aesthetic before entering into this Project, and have reasonable expectations that the designs provided by the Service Provider will be of a similar style and aesthetic.
● It is your sole responsibility to review and proof final projects carefully for accuracy and omissions.
● The Service Provider may use my own professional experience and judgment to produce the designs in a way that may not strictly adhere to your suggestions, but closely there too.
During the 30 days of post-design day support, the Client will be able to email or message the Service Provider with any questions or concerns about the work that was performed during the design day and will receive a reply via email, text, or video tutorials. This support does not cover additional design or website work that exceeds what was done during the intensive. If the Client has additional work that needs to be performed, the Client will have the option to book another Kimpeccable Design Day or a half-day. Note: If purchasing a half-day you will get 14 days of post-design support.
Payment for these services will be to the Service Provider at the rate of $1,250 and will be due at the time of booking this appointment. Client may choose to alternatively pay a 50% deposit, and pay the balance within 24 hours of the appointment date. Note: If purchasing a half-day the rate is $625.
Services in addition to the design day will be made available by the Service Provider at the current daily or half-date rate and will be billed separately. Any expenses exclusive of normal overhead are not included in this agreement and will be billed separately. Examples of such expenses are: stock images, premium font licenses, and 3rd party application services, if needed.
Domain and hosting fees are the responsibility of the Client.
This purchase is non-refundable but may be transferred to another date or service with 7-days prior written notice. The Client's deposit is valid for 90 days and must be used within that timeframe. In the event the design day fails to occur within 90 days, or the Client fails to request a new date at least 7 days prior to their booked appointment, the deposit will be forfeited, and the design day will be terminated. If the Client wishes to reschedule beyond 90 days, the original deposit may, at the Service Provider's discretion, be applied to a new booking at the current design day rate, which may or may not be higher than the original booking rate.
Client Responsibilities. To ensure that the Project moves forward according to the schedule defined in the scope of a Kimpeccable Design Day, you agree to:
