Should completion be delayed beyond 4 weeks due to the client's inability to provide us with all necessary information for varying reasons, we will generate an invoice to cover any accrued time up to that date and will continue the project at a later date when the client is ready to continue. Any deposit beyond the amount due at that time will be kept as a credit on your account and applied towards the project costs once the project resumes.

Programming costs, if applicable, are separate from web design costs, and the estimated programming charge must be paid in full before the programmers begin working on your project.
