Question 14

The "Ghost Zone" Policy

Accepted Answer

We value the time of our clients, and we ask that our clients value our time as well. The "Ghost Zone" Policy refers to an extended delay in any design project. Our ability to complete a project on time depends on everyone's ability to stick to a timeline. Clients must keep communication going and if more time is needed to gather information, that is to be discussed along with check-ins. We are aware that life happens, and unforeseen circumstances may occur, we just ask that you kindly notify us!

• If a project is on hold for more than 15 days with no prior notice from the client, it will be moved to the ON HOLD status and the client will be charged a project restart fee of $50 to revive any paused project and the project will be restarted once the fee has been paid.

• After 45 days of no communication, there will be a $150 restart fee to revive any paused project and the project will be restarted once the fee has been paid.

• After 90 days (3 months), your project is forfeited, and no refund shall be issued. Your entire project will come to a close!

We take our own project deadlines seriously, and our clients need to have the same level of commitment to their project for it to run smoothly and be successful.
