Terms &
Conditions

All design and development services are defined by a written project brief, statement of work, or proposal agreed upon prior to commencement. Work performed outside that defined scope — including additional rounds of revisions, expanded deliverables, or new directions — will be scoped and billed separately.

I reserve the right to decline projects that conflict with my values, schedule, or areas of practice, without obligation to provide a reason.

Project proposals are valid for 30 days from the date issued. Acceptance of a proposal — by written confirmation, digital signature, or initial payment — constitutes a binding agreement. Work does not begin until a signed agreement and any required deposit are received.

Verbal approvals do not constitute project authorization. All scope changes must be confirmed in writing.

Project-based work typically requires a 50% deposit to initiate, with the remaining balance due upon delivery of final files. Specific payment schedules are outlined in the project agreement.

Retainer engagements are invoiced monthly in advance. Unused hours do not carry over unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Consultation is invoiced in full prior to the session or immediately following, per the agreed rate.

Invoices are due within 14 days of receipt. Overdue balances accrue interest at 1.5% per month. Final deliverables and native files are not released until all outstanding balances are cleared.

Each project includes a defined number of revision rounds as specified in the agreement. A revision round is a single consolidated set of changes submitted in one communication — not an iterative exchange.

Revisions requested after final approval, or changes that materially alter the agreed direction, are considered out-of-scope and will be billed at my standard hourly rate.

All original work created under a project agreement becomes the property of the client upon receipt of full payment, unless otherwise specified. This transfer covers final deliverables only — not working files, source documents, or underlying assets, which remain the property of Erinn Barr Design, LLC unless explicitly negotiated.

I retain the right to display completed work in my portfolio, case studies, and promotional materials unless the client requests confidentiality in writing prior to project commencement.

Pre-existing assets, stock resources, fonts, and third-party elements remain subject to their original licenses. The client is responsible for any additional licensing required for commercial use.

Timely, consolidated feedback is essential to project timelines. If the client fails to provide requested approvals or materials within 7 days of request, the project may be placed on hold. Resuming a held project may be subject to re-scheduling and an administrative fee.

The client warrants that all materials provided for use in the project — including logos, photography, copy, and brand assets — are owned or properly licensed by the client. Any liability arising from the use of client-provided materials rests with the client.

Either party may terminate a project with written notice. If the client cancels a project after work has commenced, all completed work is billed at the agreed rate, and any retainer or deposit paid is non-refundable.

If a project is cancelled after more than 50% of the agreed work is complete, a kill fee of 25% of the remaining balance applies.

I reserve the right to terminate an engagement — without penalty — in the event of non-payment, abusive communication, or material breach of the agreement.

I treat all client information — including unreleased product designs, business strategy, pricing, and supplier relationships — as confidential. I will not disclose proprietary client information to third parties without written consent.

Where additional confidentiality terms are required, a mutual NDA may be executed prior to commencement.

Erinn Barr Design, LLC's total liability under any engagement is limited to the fees paid by the client for the specific project giving rise to the claim. I am not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages — including lost revenue, production delays, or market loss — even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Approval of design deliverables by the client constitutes acceptance and releases Erinn Barr Design, LLC from liability for errors in approved content.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri. Any disputes arising from a project engagement will be resolved first through good-faith negotiation, and if unresolved, through binding arbitration in Kansas City, Missouri.

These terms were last updated January 1, 2026. Erinn Barr Design, LLC reserves the right to update these terms; the version in effect at the time of project commencement governs the engagement.
