Any outstanding balances that exceed 90 days past the due date will incur a late fee of at least 50% of the total project cost. This late fee is meant to compensate Gries Studios LLC for the breach of the payment terms and the additional administrative effort required to manage overdue payments.

All payments are non-refundable, except as expressly provided in these Terms of Service or the project contract. Gries Studios LLC reserves the right to suspend services or terminate the agreement if payments are not received as per the agreed terms.

Our aim is to create a product that satisfies both our clients and us and that they can proudly showcase to the world.

In the event of termination due to dissatisfaction, the client must pay the total contract amount for the work done until that point. They can choose to leave and engage another designer.

If a project is completed with dissatisfaction, Gries Studios LLC will retain the copyright to all the products created. We reserve the right to resell the elements, themes, or products to another client unless there is a specific mention in the contract.
