Golden Creative LLC will review the Client’s feedback and revise the designs. Revised samples will be provided to the Client within the contract’s specified timeframe.

The Client will protect Golden Creative LLC from any claim or suit arising from the use of such as furnished by the client.
- Golden Creative LLC makes every effort to produce original artwork; however, if such artwork accidentally infringes on any existing trademarked artwork, Golden Creative LLC’s liability is limited only to a refund of the paid amount.
- Golden Creative LLC does not do research checking on the legal availability of the name it is creating designs for and it is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the name of their product, company, or service is not already in use.

DRAFT CONCEPT POLICIES
All concepts furnished to the client are for review and comment purposes only. Golden Creative LLC retains ownership of draft materials that are not used in the final design and reserves the right to use and/or reproduce any image, logo, or illustration in advertising, electronic, or traditional reproduction (with the addition of any copyright and/or trademark notice that may be requested by the owner of the work). Golden Creative LLC retains the rights to all concepts, comprehensives, and artwork involved in the design process (prior to the final artwork) and has the right to use these items in promotional/advertising/marketing materials.
REVISIONS
Any and all revisions beyond those outlined in the contract will incur the hourly rate as noted on the project quotation.
PAYMENT
Graphic design is a professional service (not a product or commodity) and customers are billed for the time and expertise of our graphic designers and creative directors.
A minimum deposit of 50% is required for all new projects, unless otherwise negotiated. Clients requiring long term and ongoing design work will be placed on a monthly billing cycle and will be invoiced on the 1st of each month.
All invoices are payable upon receipt; payments may be made by credit card or check. Credit card payments are subject to a 3% fee.
Inactive Status: If there has been no activity initiated by the client on a contract in 30 days, it will be classified as “inactive” and is subject to a new timeframe. Credits on a project must be applied within six months.
CONSENT TO THE AGREEMENT
Golden Creative LLC reserves the right to amend the terms of this contract at any time. Should it happen that a client’s own terms and conditions conflict those included in this document, this document shall be considered to be the authoritative one (unless a separate contract has been signed by the client and Golden Creative LLC).
