In addition all payments returned for any reason are subject to a return item fee of at least $39.00 (or as charged by our financial institution,) and a returned item processing fee of $39.00; other charges and fees as incurred may be charged to the client account for returned items.

For these transactions, Advertising Solutions may utilize transfers via electronic ACH or via paper check draft from the bank account for the transaction, service, or other purchase price agreed upon.

j. Clients choosing to utilize Automated or Recurring payments on account for all services (except Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Packages), including but not limited to, automated credit card payments, ACH or Paper Drafts from Bank Account(s); will have the credit or debit processed 30 (thirty) to 45 (forty-five) days prior to the noted Due Date stated on the Invoice or Order as all services provided are paid in advance of any product or service provided to avoid potential unpaid or past due balances due.

k. All sales are final and NO REFUND will be issued. Advertising Solutions retains the right to consider refunds on a case-by-case basis, but is not obligated to consider refunding products or services already purchased. Requests for consideration of any refund must happen in writing within the first calendar seven (7) days of the purchase date, requests made after this period will not be considered.

4. Project Completion Policies

a. Estimated project completion dates are not guaranteed and are subject to change pending circumstances (e.g. Client changes in design specifications, Advertising Solutions work load, etc.) Typical projects will be completed in a timely manner pending changes in design specifications.

b. Full or partial payment on an Invoice or Order constitutes acceptance of the work specifications "as-noted in the Description section" to be performed. Any deviations must be noted in writing and signed by both parties.

c. All services or products must be paid in-full, one-hundred percent (100%) with a zero dollar ($0.00) balance due before the service or product may be used for normal Client business activity or often referred to as (go-live).

5. Custom Project Policies

a. The Total Sale Price for Custom Services shall be payable in two (2) equal payments (two payments of fifty percent of the Total Sale Price) with exception to the following: Client is receiving special promotional price, a module, or the total sale/estimated price is under $1,000 in which the full amount shall be due and payable upfront.

b. The first payment, which shall be considered a retainer for time and services rendered, will be due upon the receipt of all orders and is required prior to booking a project start date. Work will not begin on a project order until the retainer payment is received in full.

c. The second payment shall be due pending the Client's approval of the final product, but no later than sixty (60) days after the signing of the custom services contract unless duly noted on the Agreement. If the Client's project is not complete, Advertising Solutions will continue and complete any original work as contracted per the project terms.

d. The second payment shall finalize the custom services agreement, thus transferring the non-transferable license of the final product created by Advertising Solutions to the client. If Client does not approve of final product, Client reserves the right to retain all original artwork provided by Client, but Advertising Solutions shall retain rights to possession of final product.

e. There will be NO REFUNDS of the retainer for custom services already in progress. The retainer for cancelled projects already in progress shall be considered payment for services rendered by Advertising Solutions in a good-faith effort to abide by the Agreement between the Client and Advertising Solutions. If possible and applicable, Advertising Solutions may provide the Client with work accumulated pending the retainer fee covers the work developed. Should the time and work invested exceed the retainer, the Client may purchase the remaining work by paying the additional hours accumulated up through the date of cancellation.

f. Per the Client's request, Advertising Solutions will work with and integrate third party solutions as needed. Payment for the use of third party solutions, on-going maintenance, and service of third party solutions is the sole responsibility of the Client. Lack of Client willingness to pay for said third party solutions in no way negates the responsibility of the Client to remit payment to Advertising Solutions for the time required and spent integrating or working with said third party solutions. Any future updates, upgrades or changes in terms between the selected third party solution and the Client are the sole responsibility of the Client. The Client may choose to retain Advertising Solutions for assistance with third party updates, upgrades or changes at Advertising Solutions's current service rates and must be contracted in writing.

g. Should the Client decide to purchase additional services after the initial retaining fees for custom services have been paid, the Client must pay an additional retainer for the additional custom services before any work on the additional services will begin. The retainer will be due in accordance with the terms as listed herein item 5(a).

h. Custom programming completed by Advertising Solutions for the Client is completed on an "as-is, here-and-now" basis, meaning programming is coded to work for systems available at the time of programming. Should future circumstances dictate reprogramming or debugging due to technological changes in available systems or requirements (e.g. subject but not limited to, a change in programming language standards, or browser rendering requirements, etc.) the Client is responsible for hiring Advertising Solutions or a qualified programmer to complete the additional custom programming, updates, upgrades, changes, or debugging at current rates, or purchase a Service Contract to cover such unforeseen circumstances. The retainer will be due in accordance with the terms as listed herein item 5(a).

6. Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package Policies

a. The purchase of Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package shall consist of a one-time Setup charge (due in full prior to service booking or commencement to cover initial implementation time investment), in addition to an on-going monthly fee (to cover estimated maintenance and task requirements based on the Client's projected needs).

b. The Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Packages will include the following base services: hosting of the Client's website, the annual renewal of one (1) domain name, regular maintenance of necessary web technologies & security, and other marketing services as monthly accrued time permits. Additional premium email services can be purchased for a separate fee based on Client’s needs. Cancellation of a Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package will require the Client to obtain and purchase hosting and domain renewal services at the then current rate for each respective service.

c. Clients purchasing the Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Packages will receive a set number of hours added to their account with each monthly payment, based on the package level purchased. These hours are available for use on in-house web, design, HTML, required security updates, marketing and advertising services at a set discounted rate; so long as the Client remains on the package with their account in good standing. Programming and coding for web or application development, API, or SDK integration are available for an additional cost. Hours not used during a month will roll over and bank for future use at the discounted rate, so long as the Client's account remains on an active Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package in good standing.

d. Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Packages require the Client to be signed up with recurring autopay on file. Clients failing to keep their account in good standing, or continuing to fall behind on payments may be required to submit a deposit of first and last monthly payments on file to make sure their account is always in good standing.

e. All Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Packages are month-to-month, and can be canceled at any time. Should the Client wish to cancel their Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package, they will need to submit a 30 (thirty) day cancellation request to allow proper time for cancellation of integrated services and maintenance tasks. Any accrued hours on account must be used prior to cancellation to avoid forfeiture of potential unused time. There are no refunds for unused time accrued on account when canceling any Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package, and any such unused accrued time is subject to forfeiture.

f. By purchasing a Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package, Client is providing authorization for Advertising Solutions to manage all aspects of the Client’s online and digital medias. This authorization allows Advertising Solutions to make changes or updates, including necessary security updates and requirements, to the Client’s services without prior notification or requests when the modifications are in the Client’s best interest, or overall security interests. Advertising Solutions shall be indemnified of any negative repercussions to the Client’s business when modifications are made in the interests of security.

g. Advertising Solutions retains full intellectual property rights to all services and creations developed. The Client will retain an exclusive right to utilize derived work for the Client's commercial use, if said works are paid-in-full.

h. Advertising Solutions attempts to record all work timers to the Client's service record in a timely manner so as to provide an overall accurate view of utilized time, versus available time. However, some work timers may be delayed in logging to the Client's record in an effort to provide a Client the quickest resolution in time-sensative situations, the interests of security, or special circumstances. Such delays in the logging of work timers to the Client's record will not affect Advertising Solutions right to deduct the time from the Client's available bank of hours; nor negatively affect Advertising Solutions right to collect any balance due when delayed logging of work timers results in a deficit of the Client's available hours on account for services rendered.

i. Advertising Solutions retains the right to conduct an audit of hours utilized on all Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Packages at any time, including upon cancellation of any Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package. Audits due to cancellation of a Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package may take up to 30 (thirty) to 45 (forty-five) days to complete. Such audits may result in corrections of available time, or services rendered. If such corrections result in the Client owing a balance due, the amount owed is due and payable immediately, and Advertising Solutions retains the right to charge the Client's method of payment on file to cover any amount owed.

j. Clients on a Full-Service Web & Marketing Management Package that exceed the monthly allotment of hours provided by their current package level for two months in a row, will automatically be upgraded to the next package level that includes enough hours to accommodate their monthly usage of hours in an effort to avoid a continued deficit of needed hours that results in a balance owed.
