By its very nature a creative service requires a creative process, however, we cannot leave this open ended and embark on a trial-and-error, circular design process. In the absence of clear direction from the client side, our creative team will propose solutions that they believe satisfy the brief. After the ‘discovery’ stage of production, you waive your right to retrospectively introduce creative direction.

1. Your Instruction should contain a clear description of your requirements, any brief you wish us to consider and any Deliverables you wish us to produce.

5. Alterations or any post-production work requested outside of the original brief and alterations due to initial uncertainty or ‘change of mind’ could incur additional charge.
6. Major revisions to a project, will be deemed a change of contract and may the need for a new contract and/or incur additional costs at the discretion of Us.
