These fees are outlined as follows:
3.2.1 Early Cancellation (Within 14 Days of Project Start) If you cancel your project within 14 days of its initiation, you will be liable for the 50% non-refundable deposit, along with an additional 10% of the total project cost.
3.2.2 Mid-Project Cancellation (Between 15 and 45 Days of Project Start) If you decide to cancel your project after the initial 14 days but within 45 days of its start, you will be responsible for the non-refundable deposit and 50% of the total project cost.
3.2.3 Late Cancellation (Beyond 45 Days of Project Start) Cancellations made after 45 days from the project's initiation will result in you being held accountable for the non-refundable deposit and the full project cost.
3.3 Incomplete Projects
In cases where you discontinue contact and cease all communication with D-S-Design without officially canceling the project, it will be considered an incomplete project. Incomplete projects will be charged the full project cost, as I would have already invested time, effort, and resources into the work.
3.4 Cancellation of Maintenance Contracts
Maintenance contracts, once initiated, are non-refundable, and early cancellation may incur fees. In addition, please note that early cancellation of a maintenance contract will result in the immediate termination of the contract. Once canceled, maintenance contracts cannot be reinstated, and any remaining services or benefits will cease.
3.5 Cancellation of Webflow Hosting Subscriptions
Webflow hosting fees are managed directly by Webflow as per their terms and policies. If you choose to cancel your hosting subscription, please be aware that Webflow does not provide refunds for canceled hosting plans. This policy is beyond the control of D-S-Design, and it is your responsibility to review Webflow's terms regarding hosting fees.
3.6 Responsibility for Third-Party Service Fees
Any fees associated with third-party services such as Elfsight, IONOS, or similar platforms are the responsibility of the client. Refund requests for such services must be directed to the respective providers and not D-S-Design. It is the client’s responsibility to understand the terms and conditions of these third-party services before initiating or terminating their use. Please be aware that email signature design costs are treated as part of the hosting services and are therefore non-refundable. These costs are typically incurred on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the client's subscription plan. The hosting fees associated with these email signatures are subject to the same non-refundable terms as outlined above.
4. Project Termination by D-S-Design
In rare circumstances, D-S-Design reserves the right to terminate a project if the client's actions or inactions prevent the project's successful completion. In such cases, the client will be notified in writing.
5. Right to Showcase Work
D-S-Design reserves the right to showcase the completed work in our portfolio, on my website, and in promotional materials. I consider our projects to be a reflection of my expertise and capabilities, and featuring them in my portfolio helps me showcase my skills to future clients. If you have concerns regarding the public display of your project, please communicate this with me during the project initiation phase, and I will address it accordingly.
6. References to Terms and Conditions, Cookies Policy, and Privacy Policy

7. Invoicing and Payment Methods
All invoices will be sent via email to the address you provided during project initiation. Payment can be made using the following methods:
Square invoices, Bank Transfers & PayPal. Please note that I do not accept cash or cheque payments.
8. Late Payment Fees
If payment for services rendered is not received by the due date specified on the invoice, a late payment fee may be applied. Late payment fees will be calculated as 10% of the outstanding invoice amount for each month of the Billing Cycle that the payment remains overdue. These fees are intended to cover administrative costs and the inconvenience caused by late payments.
9. Sickness and Absence
In the event of sickness or unexpected absence on my part, I will make every effort to communicate this with you as soon as possible. Projects may experience delays as a result, but I will work to minimize any disruptions and will keep you informed of any changes to the project timeline. I reserve the right to delay any project by up to 6 weeks in the event of sickness, absence, or other unforeseen circumstances, and by agreeing to these terms, the client accepts this possibility. Additionally, as I manage two jobs, project timelines may be affected during busy periods. I will strive to provide realistic timelines and keep clients updated on any adjustments.
10. Resumption of Projects
Should you decide to resume a project that was previously canceled, you may be subject to additional fees or changes in project scope, depending on the circumstances. Resumption of projects will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
11. Amendments to the Cancellation Policy
