We are delighted to get started with you and your project. Please review the terms and policies of working with the Liz Cort Consulting Agency Group and acknowledge that you are aware and agree*.
Personal Responsibility and Assumption of Risk: You acknowledge that you take full responsibility for your finances and well-being and all decisions made before, during and after your Program. Our agency, Liz Cort Consulting, has taken great care in preparing the information provided to you, but all of our information, Programs, and services are made available to you like marketing and business tools for your own personal and business use and informational and educational purposes only. You accept full responsibility for your choices, actions, and results, and expressly assume the risks of the Program for your use, or non-use, of the information provided to you. You also understand that you are explicitly considering all of the risks of the Program, whether or not such risks were created or exacerbated by the Program.
Non-Disparagement: In the event of a dispute between Client and the Liz Cort Consulting Agency (LCCA), Client agrees not to engage in any conduct or communications, public or private, designed to disparage the Program or Services of, LCCA. Where requested by law or arbitration, of course, Client is not prohibited from sharing their thoughts and opinions as a part of the legal process. By signing this Agreement, we are both acknowledging that we have read, understand, agree to and accept all of the terms of this Agreement. Your Program and work will not begin until this signed document has been received, and payment, as mapped in the proposal, has been made.
Nondisclosure Obligations: You agree to hold the Confidential Information, Pricing, and Services provided by Liz Cort Consulting Agency in confidence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Client, further promises and agrees: (A) to take commercially reasonable measures to protect and safeguard the Confidential Information that it receives against unauthorized use, dissemination, publication or disclosure; (B) not to use any of the Confidential Information except in connection with the execution of the Consulting Services; and (C) not to, directly or indirectly, in any way, reveal, report, publish, disclose, or transfer any of the Confidential Information except to its affiliates, principals, employees, consultants, representatives, accountants, agents, co-investors, advisors, legal counsel, lenders, investors, officers and directors, or as otherwise specifically authorized by the Company (collectively, “Representatives”).
Copy Editing and Line Edits: You acknowledge that you take full responsibility for review of initial drafts and copy provided in the creation of your Program(s). Our agency, Liz Cort Consulting, has taken great care in preparing the information provided to you, but it is your responsibility to proof all program content and sign-off on it as final. Please note that copy editing and graphic design are two separate services. If you require copy editing services, it can be purchased at an hourly rate, ($375 per hour.) When a client indicates that content for the program is final, LCCA assumes that the client had not only proof-read it but reviewed for consistency and clarity. LCCA will rectify any content errors it may have created when the final program differs from approved content for up to a period of 12-months. Clients are permitted a total of two (2) rounds of copy edits that are content-based and one (1) that is designed based, after which all other changes are charged at a rate of $375 per hour with a half-hour minimum. Once a client sells a program/e-book/ electronic PDF or other service or product it is considered acceptance of program and sign-off by the client as final.
Ownership of Native Files VS Final Deliverables: The term native files refer to the file format that an application uses to create or save files. We are referring to page layout files (such as Adobe® InDesign®) and any associated artwork or photos used within those layout files, or there could be just a layered image file (such as Adobe® Photoshop® or Adobe® Illustrator®) and in some instances Microsoft Suite Products that may have been used in creation of your client final deliverables. The LCCA contract final deliverables do not include source and native files, they cover final JPG, PNG, PDF or EPS files only. The industry standard for copyright transfer is 300% of your total design and layout overhead. If you are interested in securing your native files, please note that with LCCA ahead of project start.
Project Delays: Enforcement of contracted work. Should after the initial contract has begun and payment has been made the client, should the client elect to delay or pause a project they may only do so for a period of up to 12-months from date of engagement. Failure to move forward after the fixed period indicated is defined as project abandonment on behalf of the client. Client delays are defined as significant scope changes made by the client that alter the original contracted work, business calendar delays, and inability to commit to review of produced materials and sign off. If a client chooses to re-initiate an abandoned project, they can do so for a restart fee of $500.
Change of Mind: For a Change of Mind refund request to be considered, it must be received by our Sales department within 10 days from the date of purchase. We do not require that you provide a reason for your request; however, your feedback would be appreciated.
