Payment
​

All clients will be asked to sign a short contract of services agreeing to an exchange of services for payment. Once a client has agreed upon a specific package and has been provided a quote and due date, one-third of the amount must be paid up-front. After the editor has finished the initial pass, an invoice will be sent to the client at which time another one-third must be paid. Upon the project's completion, the final invoice will be submitted. Only after the total amount has been paid will the client's edited work be returned. 

All payments must be paid with either debit/credit card and will be processed using Square Point of Sale (POS) by Emerging Ink Solutions. An invoice will be sent to clients via email.
