Terms & Conditions

Project Estimates & Scope

Estimated prices are contingent upon approval of artwork. Project additions or changes to the Scope of Work will incur additional project fees. Prices are valid for 30 days from the issue date of the estimate.

Artwork, Copyright & Native Files

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, all concepts, designs, layouts, artwork, and native/working/source files created by Studio 2 Creatives (S2C), including but not limited to Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and other editable production files, remain the sole property of S2C.

Upon receipt of full payment, the client is granted the right to use the final approved artwork and finished files provided by S2C for the purposes and scope for which they were originally created. Payment for design services does not constitute the purchase, transfer, or ownership of S2C’s native, editable, working, or source files.

Native or working files are not included as part of the standard project deliverables unless specifically stated in the project estimate or agreement. If a client wishes to obtain native or working files, S2C may, at its discretion, release those files for an additional file-release fee and subject to a separate written file-release agreement.

The client may not distribute S2C’s native or working files to another company, affiliated company, sister company, branch, designer, agency, printer, or other third party for modification, adaptation, reuse, or redistribution without prior written authorization from S2C. Any use of the artwork beyond the originally agreed-upon client, project, location, or scope may require additional licensing or release fees.

Third-party materials incorporated into a project, including stock photography, fonts, illustrations, premium assets, or other licensed materials, remain subject to the licensing terms of their respective owners and may not be transferable as part of a native-file release.

S2C reserves the right to display finalized artwork and/or concepts, which may include the client’s name and/or logo, on its website, social media, portfolio, or other promotional materials for the purpose of showcasing S2C’s design services and capabilities.

Annual Services & Renewals

Annual services provided by S2C, including but not limited to website hosting, domain name renewals, SSL certificates, premium plugins, software licenses, and other recurring services, will generally be invoiced for renewal during the 11th month of the client’s current service period. This provides approximately 30 days for the client to review and pay the renewal invoice before the existing service expires or renews.

Clients wishing to cancel an annual service must notify S2C before the applicable service has renewed or before S2C has incurred the renewal expense on the client’s behalf.

Once a third-party service has renewed or a renewal expense has been incurred by S2C, the client is responsible for that cost. Certain third-party services, including domain registrations and renewals, SSL certificates, premium plugin licenses, software subscriptions, and similar services, may be non-refundable once renewed or purchased. In those circumstances, S2C cannot issue a refund for the applicable renewal charge.

Failure to pay a renewal invoice may result in expiration, suspension, or termination of the applicable service. S2C is not responsible for website downtime, loss of functionality, loss of domain ownership, email disruption, security issues, or other consequences resulting from a client’s failure to timely renew or pay for a service.

Invoice Payment Terms

Unless otherwise stated on the invoice, payment terms are Net 30 Days.

A finance charge of 1.5% per month may be applied to past-due balances.

Credit card transactions are subject to a 3.1% processing/convenience fee, where permitted and applicable. Clients may avoid this fee by using another accepted payment method when available.
