OWNERSHIP OF ARTWORK
Until full payment has been made, MKMG gains ownership of all original artwork or parts contained therein, whether preliminary or final. Upon full payment, the client shall obtain ownership of the final artwork to use and distribute as they see fit. MKMG retains the right to use the completed project and any preliminary designs for the purpose of design competitions, future publications on design, educational purposes, marketing materials, and portfolio. Where applicable the client will be given any necessary credit for usage of the project elements.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT
The client shall make a non-refundable deposit to retain MKMG to perform services specified herein. This deposit shall be applied to reduce the total cost of the package, but is non-refundable. The client shall pay the balance due within 30 days of the deadline. If the client refuses delivery of the order or refuses to pay within thirty (30) days of the deadline date, the client shall be in default hereunder and forfeit total amount paid to that date including all deposits and payments made.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE/DELIVERY OF PROJECT
The client will assume any shipping or insurance costs related to the project. Any alteration or deviation from the above specifications involving extra costs will be executed only upon approval with the client. The designer shall not incur any liability or penalty for delays in the completion of the project due to actions or negligence of client, unusual transportation delays, unforeseen illness, or external forces beyond the control of the designer. If such event(s) occur, it shall entitle the designer to extend the completion/delivery date, by the time equivalent to the period of such delay.

THIRD PARTY SHIPPING
In the event any material necessary for the production of the project must be shipped to a third party for additional processing, typesetting, photographic work, color separation, press work, or binding, the designer will incur no liability for losses incurred in transit, or due to the delay of the shipper of the third party.

CLAIMS PERIOD
Claims for defects, damages, and/or shortages must be made by the client in writing within a period of fifteen (15) days after delivery of all or any part of the order. Failure to make such claim within the stated period shall constitute irrevocable acceptance and an admission that they fully comply with terms, conditions, and specifications.

PROOFING OF FINAL PROJECT

It is agreed that it is the client’s responsibility to ensure that there are no spelling or grammatical errors contained in the final product. It is agreed that the designer is not responsible or held liable for any errors contained in the final product after the final product has been committed to print or posted in view of the public.

CANCELLATION
