Payment Policy

Effective Date: August 13, 2026

1. Overview

This Payment Policy outlines the payment terms, invoicing procedures, deposits, milestones, refunds, cancellations, and other financial conditions applicable to digital services provided through this website.

By engaging our services, submitting a project request, approving a quotation, or making a payment, the client acknowledges and agrees to the terms outlined in this policy.

Our goal is to maintain a transparent, professional, and straightforward payment process while ensuring that both the client and service provider have a clear understanding of their financial responsibilities.

2. Service Quotes & Pricing

All project prices are based on the scope, complexity, technical requirements, estimated development time, design requirements, integrations, and other deliverables associated with the project.

A quotation or estimate provided to a client is based on the information available at the time of assessment.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • Quotes are valid for 14 days from the date of issue.
  • Prices are quoted in the currency specified in the proposal or quotation.
  • Third-party costs are generally not included unless expressly stated.
  • Additional requirements introduced after project approval may result in additional charges.
  • Final pricing may change if the project scope changes substantially.

Examples of third-party costs may include hosting, domains, premium plugins, APIs, software licenses, payment gateway charges, stock assets, email services, SMS services, or other external services.

3. Project Deposits

Depending on the nature and value of a project, an initial deposit may be required before work begins.

For standard projects, the recommended payment structure is:

50% Initial Payment → 50% Final Payment

For larger or long-term projects, payments may instead be divided into milestones based on the approved project plan.

The initial payment confirms the client's commitment to the project and allows project work to commence.

Work does not officially begin until the required initial payment has been received and confirmed.

4. Milestone Payments

Projects involving multiple phases may use milestone-based payments.

Typical milestones may include:

  1. Project discovery and planning
  2. UX/UI design
  3. Front-end development
  4. Back-end/API development
  5. Integrations and database implementation
  6. Testing and quality assurance
  7. Deployment and launch

Each milestone may have a corresponding payment amount or percentage.

Where milestone payments apply, the next phase may be paused until the applicable payment has been received.

5. Final Payment

The remaining project balance becomes due when the agreed deliverables have reached the completion stage specified in the project agreement.

For websites, applications, SaaS products, dashboards, and other digital products, final deployment or transfer of agreed project assets may be subject to settlement of the outstanding balance.

The client should ensure that all required final payments are completed before requesting final project handover.

6. Payment Methods

Available payment methods may include approved online payment gateways, bank transfers, card payments, or other payment methods made available on the platform.

Payment instructions will be provided through the appropriate invoice, checkout page, quotation, or payment request.

Clients should only make payments using officially provided payment channels.

7. Payment Processing Fees

Where a payment provider, bank, payment gateway, or financial institution applies transaction or processing fees, the applicable charges may be passed on to the client where this has been communicated before payment.

Currency conversion charges, international transaction fees, bank charges, and similar third-party costs may also apply depending on the payment method and client's location.

8. Late Payments

Payments are expected to be made by the due date stated on the invoice, quotation, milestone agreement, or project schedule.

If a payment becomes overdue:

  • Project work may be temporarily suspended.
  • Project deadlines may be adjusted.
  • Access to certain project stages or deliverables may be withheld until payment is received.
  • Additional costs caused by prolonged delays may be applicable where agreed.
  • Extended payment delays may result in project cancellation.

Any project schedule affected by a delayed client payment will be recalculated based on team availability.

9. Scope Changes & Additional Work

The agreed project price covers only the services and deliverables specified in the approved scope.

Requests that introduce new functionality, additional pages, new designs, new integrations, substantial revisions, additional development, or other work outside the approved scope may be treated as a change request.

Additional work may require:

  • A revised quotation
  • Additional payment
  • A new milestone
  • An adjustment to the delivery timeline

Work outside the original scope will not be considered included simply because it is requested during the project.

10. Design Revisions

The number of design revisions included in a project will depend on the approved proposal or service package.

Revisions should remain within the original project direction and requirements.

A major change in the approved design direction, brand identity, functionality, or user experience may be treated as additional work and quoted separately.

11. Refund Policy

Payments are generally associated with allocated project time, resources, planning, design, development, and other work performed on behalf of the client.

Refund eligibility therefore depends on the stage of the project and the circumstances surrounding the request.

Where work has already been completed, allocated resources have been committed, or third-party expenses have been incurred, the corresponding amount may not be refundable.

Approved refunds, where applicable, will normally be processed using the original payment method or another mutually agreed method.

Third-party fees that cannot be recovered may be excluded from any approved refund.

12. Project Cancellation

A client may request cancellation of a project by providing written notice.

If cancellation occurs before work begins, the refundability of any deposit will depend on the applicable agreement and whether resources, planning, research, or other preparatory work have already been committed.

If cancellation occurs after work has started, charges may apply for work completed up to the cancellation date.

Any completed deliverables may remain subject to the payment terms agreed for the project.

13. Project Suspension

A project may be temporarily suspended when:

  • Required payments are overdue.
  • The client has not provided required content, information, credentials, approvals, or feedback.
  • The client requests a temporary pause.
  • External circumstances prevent the continuation of the project.

A prolonged suspension may affect the original delivery schedule and availability.

14. Client Responsibilities

To help projects remain on schedule, clients are expected to:

  • Provide accurate project information.
  • Provide required content and materials within agreed timelines.
  • Review and approve deliverables promptly.
  • Provide necessary technical access or credentials where required.
  • Make payments according to the agreed schedule.
  • Communicate changes or concerns as early as possible.

Delays caused by missing information, approvals, feedback, or payments may affect the project's delivery date.

15. Intellectual Property & Final Handover

Ownership and transfer of project files, source code, design files, documentation, and other deliverables will be governed by the applicable project agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed, final transfer of project assets may occur after all outstanding project payments have been settled.

Third-party software, libraries, plugins, fonts, stock assets, APIs, and licensed materials remain subject to their respective licensing terms.

16. Taxes & Government Charges

Where applicable, taxes, levies, duties, or other government-imposed charges may be added to the stated service price.

Clients are responsible for any taxes or charges imposed by their own jurisdiction unless otherwise agreed.

17. Payment Disputes

If you believe a payment, invoice, or charge is incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible with the relevant invoice or transaction details.

We encourage clients to resolve payment concerns directly with us before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback.

18. Policy Updates

The latest version published on this website will represent the current policy.
