In the event that any or all product(s) are lost, such as damage to or loss of a component of the product necessary for final delivery, Service Provider shall refund Client a pro-rated portion of the Total Cost based on the amount of Services that were completed/provided against the amount of Services that were agreed to be completed/provided.

          and work on social media, portfolio, website, or other sources without express permission from the Client. 

Obligations. The obligations of the Parties shall be to hold and maintain the Confidential Information in the strictest of confidence at all times and to their agents, employees, representatives, affiliates, and any other individual or entity that is on a “need to know” basis. If any such Confidential Information shall reach a third (3rd) party or become public, all liability will be on the Party that is responsible. Neither Party shall, without the written approval of the other Party, publish, copy, or use the Confidential Information for their sole benefit. If requested, either Party shall be bound to return any and all materials to the Requesting Party within 60 days. 

Time Period. The bounded Party’s(ies’) duty to hold the Confidential Information in confidence shall remain in effect until such information no longer qualifies as a trade secret or written notice is given releasing such Party from this Agreement.

Severability. If a court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as best to affect the intent of the Parties.

Integration. This Agreement expresses the complete understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes all prior proposals, agreements, representations, and understandings. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing with the acknowledgment of the Parties.

Enforcement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that due to the unique and sensitive nature of the Confidential Information, any breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm for which damages and or equitable relief may be sought. The harmed Party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law.

Intellectual Property also includes the tangible embodiments (e.g. – drawings, notes) of any intangible items.

Contractor + Client Relationship
The Service Provider is not responsible to consult on contractors who are part of the project; nor are they responsible for costs, consulting, or work of contractors hired by the Client. The Service Provider reserves the right to hire subcontractors to ensure onetime completion. The Client understands they are only a Client for the duration of the project. 

Competes 
The Service Provider reserves the right to work with clients in the same field or with similar businesses. This contract does not include a non-compete. 
Although the Service Provider does their best to make each project unique, the copyright and license does not apply to individual elements of the project, and may use similar layouts or elements within projects. It is not possible for the Client to own common layouts and colors. 

Schedules + Timelines
The Service Provider has provided the Client with an estimated timeline in this contract to provide guidance on timing and ensuring appropriate time is able to be allocated by the Client to complete each phase as discussed. Please keep in mind this timeline is only estimated an is subject to change. 
The Service Provider is not responsible for delayed launches due to delays on behalf of the Client. These delays can be caused by, but not limited to, being late in supplying requested materials, delayed responses, or requests for changes in the project scope. The Client understands that changes in content after initial delivery will result in delays and additional fees. 

Client may not pause or put the project on hold. If the Client decides they no longer want to work with the Service Provider, they are still liable for the full contract.

Revisions + Changes
Unless otherwise provided herein, Client shall pay additional charges for all changes requested by Client which are outside the Scope of the Services on a time and materials basis, at Designer’s standard hourly of $300.00 per hour, or in an amount separately agreed upon in writing in advance of the change. Such charges shall be in addition to all other amounts payable under this Agreement despite any maximum budget, contract price or final price identified therein. Designer may extend or modify any delivery schedule or deadline as required by such Changes. 

If the Client requests changes to items that we approved prior, it will be billed extra and it will increase the timeline of the project. The Service Provider reserves the right to decline the additional work beyond the original scope. 

Please note that change requests must be written and documented by the client, discussed together, and sent over for approval. The Service Provider will provide a new timeline and a new addendum to be signed by the Client.

The Client agrees to keep the link and branding for Sarah Rose Inc. at the bottom navigation of their website footer. If this branding or link is removed, the Client agrees to pay Sarah Rose Inc. $5,000 for the rights to remove these items on their website and to notify Sarah Rose Inc in writing of their desire to do so. 

Abandonment Clause 
If Client has not provided Service Provider with required approvals, feedback, or content for any 14 day period after a request has been initially made, Service Provider will consider the project abandoned. All incomplete work will remain the property of Service Provider and any fees or deposits made are non-refundable. Discarded concepts remain the property of the designer and may not be used by the Client.
If Client wishes to restart an abandoned project, they will be subject to a restart fee and any applicable price increases, which will be re-quoted and the project work will commence subject to availability of the Designer. 

Meetings
If meetings need to be held, client understands that meetings will be via video conference. Client is allowed 2 "get out of jail free" cards for cancelled, rescheduled, or no-show appointments. After that, during the course of working together, if the client runs into additional scheduling issues, Sarah Rose Inc. reserves the right to terminate the project with no refunds or reschedules.

Client Responsibilities
Client understands that Service Provider is not an employee, and that this will be a collaborative, professional relationship of equals where mutual professional respect, courtesy and consideration are expected. Due to the virtual nature of the relationship, Client understands the importance of communication, especially via email, and agrees to respond to questions, requests and communications from Service Provider in a timely manner. Client understands that Service Provider is a business with other clients to serve, and requires fair, realistic notice in order to attend to requests and projects. Poor planning or miscommunications on the part of the Client will not constitute an emergency for Service Provider. Client understands that Service Provider may require detailed clarification of projects in order to meet expectations and provide the best support and highest quality work.

Office Hours + Communication
Office hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00pm (EST). Honeybook is to be the primary form of communication between Client and Service Provider so that all communication will be kept in one place. Please message me in Honeybook if you have any questions. Service Provider is available for Zoom calls during office hours only. Occasional calls of only a few minutes in duration are not typically billed to Client. However, the time of both parties must be respected, and calls lasting over 25 minutes will be billed to Client. Zoom meetings must be prescheduled. Cancellation requires a minimum of 24 hours advance notice. Missed meetings or cancellations without sufficient notice will be billed to Client. 
The Service Provider will not respond to calls and texts to their personal phone number. Please note that social media and texting is not an effective form of communication.
