The price you calculate is the price you pay. We don't add fees after you've started, we don't charge for revisions beyond what's listed, and we don't take a percentage of your royalties. If we make an error that requires additional work on our end, we absorb that cost. Your quote is your invoice.
Refund policy
If we haven't started work on your project, you receive a full refund. If work has begun, you're refunded for any services not yet started. We don't charge cancellation fees.
