2. Client Materials & Project Requirements

The client must supply substantially complete, approved materials before work begins, including any required text, calendar data, logos, images, and printer specifications.

​

The client is responsible for checking the accuracy of names, dates, contact details, links, QR-code destinations, and other supplied information.

 

Changes to supplied materials after design or layout has begun may result in additional fees and an adjusted timeline. The designer will advise the client before undertaking chargeable additional work.

 

The client must disclose any AI-generated text, images, or translations supplied for the project.

The manuscript must be substantially complete and publication-ready upon submission.

​

Minor editorial corrections are limited to obvious typographical errors, inconsistent spacing, punctuation, and formatting inconsistencies identified during typesetting. Comprehensive copyediting, proofreading, rewriting, developmental editing, fact-checking, and substantive editorial review are not included.

​

For book projects

Manuscripts must be substantially complete and publication-ready upon submission.

Minor editorial corrections are limited to obvious typographical errors, inconsistent spacing, punctuation, and formatting inconsistencies noticed during typesetting. This does not constitute a comprehensive editorial or proofreading service.

​

Copyediting, proofreading, rewriting, developmental editing, fact-checking, translation, and substantive editorial review are not included unless expressly quoted.

​

Extensive restructuring, footnote reconstruction, citation correction, or significant content revisions may require an additional fee. Manuscripts exceeding 75,000 words and/or 250 pages may also require an adjusted quotation.

​​

For calendar projects

The date range, language, location, calendar-data source, and location-specific conventions must be agreed before layout begins. The client must supply or approve the calendar data.

​

The designer will reproduce the approved data accurately. Independent verification of calendar calculations or halachic accuracy is not included unless expressly agreed.

​​

3. Revisions & Project Timeline

Specific revision timelines will be included in your email, but once the FINAL VERSION has been approved, any author-requested revisions or alterations (including spelling, formatting, or content changes) will be billed at an additional hourly rate, with a one-hour minimum, at the designer's discretion.

​

• The designer will always advise the client in advance if additional charges will apply.

• If the client delays providing revisions, approvals, or required materials for more than 30 days, the project may be placed on hold. Resuming the project may require a revised completion timeline and/or a scheduling fee.

​

4. Payment & Delivery

• A 50% deposit is required before work commences. Remaining balance is due once the book has been uploaded to KDP or sent to a print-house.

• Payment options: BIT, PayBox, Direct Transfer, or Zelle.

• If the project is cancelled after work has commenced, the deposit is non-refundable. If formatting has already been completed, payment for work performed will be required.

• Clients will receive a print-ready PDF when requested. Editable source files are not included unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

• Editable design files, source files, working files, and packaged project files  are not included and will not be supplied unless expressly agreed in writing before work begins.

• Final files may contain a temporary watermark. The watermark will be removed once all outstanding balances have been paid in full.

 

5. Ownership & Intellectual Property

• All design rights transfer to the client upon full payment, excluding the designer's right to display the completed work for portfolio and promotional purposes.

• The client warrants that they own or have permission to publish all text, images, illustrations, fonts, and other materials supplied for publication.

• The designer assumes no responsibility for copyright infringement or intellectual property claims arising from materials supplied by the client.

Where publishing-platform assistance is included, the client retains responsibility for account ownership, account setup, tax information, banking details, royalties, publishing rights, and compliance with the platform’s policies.

​

The client must approve the files and publication details before upload or submission.

Platform approval, processing times, availability, sales, and royalties cannot be guaranteed. Additional work arising from later platform changes, new requirements, or client-requested publication changes will be quoted separately.

​

7. Quality & Liability

• The designer is not responsible for spelling, grammatical, halachic, medical, factual, or other content errors contained within the manuscript.

• The client is responsible for maintaining backup copies of all manuscript files. The designer is not responsible for data loss.

• Images supplied below recommended print quality (generally 300 dpi at final size) may produce poor print results. The designer is not responsible for the quality of client-supplied images.

 

8. Event-Specific Designs

If this project includes artwork customized for a specific event, date, or time, future versions, updates, or related products will be quoted separately as new projects.

​

9. File Storage & Backups

The client is responsible for retaining backup copies of all supplied materials and delivered files.
