Projects over $400 require a 50% starter fee before designing begins. The starter fee guarantees your spot in our queue for designing. Without starter fee, your project is nonexistent in our queue and will not be worked on until a payment is made.

If the client pays a non-refundable starter fee, the remaining balance is due immediately after design approval before final draft can be sent. If the client does not pay the remaining balance immediately after design approval, Kennedy Graphix Studio will send one reminder email. If the balance is still not paid, the project will be canceled, the client will be blocked & banned from our website, and final files will not be sent.
-
All pricing through Kennedy Graphix Studio is subject to change at any time and becomes effective upon posting to the site. If there has been an agreed pricing between (the designer) and you (the client) before changes have been made, it will remain valid until the project is complete.

Design Process:
-
Client Inquiry Form - The client will fill out a questionnaire about their business and what they are for looking for their business.
-
Onboarding- Let’s meet and discuss details on your project. Our kickoff strategy meeting will clarify all the foundational parts of your business. In this step you'll complete the intake form, pay the custom invoice, and sign the design contract. After intake form is complete, you'll fulfill the invoice. Lastly, the contract will need your signature to proceed forward.
-
Design - I will begin the design process. Each service/project has their own unique turnaround time (Please be sure you are aware of the turnaround time. Need it sooner? Rush fees are available for selected services).
-
Drafts + Revisions - Draft files will be sent via email for review. This is where you send any revisions. You are allowed up to (3) FREE revisions. After the 3rd revision, any revision will be $15 each. If there aren't any revisions needed, we can proceed to the next step.
-
Finalization - After project(s) have been finalized, I will send your files in different files such as PNG, PDF, or JPG format. The approved & final files will be sent via email after remaining balance is paid for special projects. You will be ready to elevate your business with branding. However, once design(s) have been finalized & approved, any additions or adjustments will result in an additional fee of $25 PER revision.
Refund + Cancellation Policy:

Due to the nature of all services provided by Kennedy Graphix Studio refunds are not eligible. Kennedy Graphix Studio does not provide refunds for any design services under any circumstance. Unfortunately, when a design project starts and design time has accumulated, refunds are no longer applicable. Deciding to move forward with another business or having buyers remorse is not a suitable means for a refund. Once payment has been made, the project will begin and the final design will be returned to the client/customer in the turnaround time frame given. Note: Turnaround times vary amongst projects or amount of projects.
