Design & Art Pre-Planning-
Based on your brief Studio Franco Design will prepare a Pre-Planning Schedule which will include every proposed task required to fulfill the project.
It is this schedule that determines the cost of your project.
Billing
Because each project has it own unique requirements, the actual process and payment schedule can differ on a case-by-case basis.
Payment will take place in three stages.
50% up front. By Electronic Transfer. This is not a negotiable process. Please be advised that payments that do not originate from Standard Bank South Africa are subject to a 2 day turn-around delay at your own bank
25% at Halfway Mark. This is the stage where you will review the almost completed work. This will be the time to make any final changes
25% Balance on completion. No work is released until the final payment is cleared.
This means inclusive of the 2-day turn around at your own bank.
Deviations:
"Thirty Days" payments will attract a 20% surcharge.
> This surcharge is in effect for "paying me to wait for payment".
> The arrangement for this type of payment has to be made at the briefing stage of the project.
> The 20% has to be paid before Studio Franco commences your project.
Escalation fees apply with:
significant changes to the initial brief arising from client oversight
delays in collection or payment.
We can be fairly flexible with regard to all the above, but we rather avoid any payment disputes or problems.
Changes to the Initial Brief
On occassion this may be unavoidable. Minor changes may be worked around.
Significant changes will be regarded as a separate brief which will have a separate billing charged according to the time and effort required to "re-do work in progress".
It is for this reason that the initial Pre-Planning Design Requirements List must be read fully and carefully, before you sign off.
Final Production Pre-Flight:
Client Instruction List
Prior to Production:
- Studio Franco Design assumes all responsibility technical.
- Only Studio Franco Design will communicate with your repro or production house on technical matters pertaining to your digital or print media requirements for Final Material
- Client communication at this time is not advised due to the possibility of error.
Signed Off Material:
Client will agree that material once signed off, by Client, is cast in concrete.
Material appearing in print, after this is by Client choice.
Party in dispute will bear the cost of breaking out.
1. This service is provided to protect Client and Studio Franco from possible overlaps of instruction
2. This service exists to protect legal professional privelege in the domain of Studio Franco Design beyond its the Clients' intended use of the material produced. Any litigation arising from Client use of Client commissioned work will be referred to Client or Clients appointed legal counsel.
