For smaller or one-off tasks, we may request a 50% upfront payment and 50% upon completion.

4. Refunds & Cancellations

4.1 If Work Has Not Started

If you choose to cancel before any work has begun, your deposit will be refunded in full.

If a milestone has been delivered, payments for completed milestones are non-refundable.
