DEPOSIT: Up to a 75% nonrefundable deposit is required before any work will begin.

AUTHORIZATION: No work will be done until the Client has agreed to and authorized all details as described in this Contract. It is the Client's responsibility to understand all specifics regarding the job and to proofread, check and verify the Proof accompanying this Contract. If requested, further specifications will be provided and will become part of this Contract.

CHANGES: Due to the individual nature of the products offered, there can be no modifications to any job once the specifications have been authorized.

If necessary, Seller may modify specifications at his discretion and replace items with items of equal or greater value.

RELEASE: Client gives Seller, Seller's assigns, licenses and legal representatives the irrevocable right to use Client’s name (or any fictitious name), pictures, portraits or photographs in all forms and media and in all manners, including composite or distorted representations, for advertising, trade or other lawful purposes and waives Client’s right to inspect or approve the finished product, including written copy, that may be created in connection therewith.

WARRANTEE: There is no warrantee unless specifically stated in the specifics of this contract. The Seller is not responsible for any mistakes, misspellings, color mismatching, etc. after the Client has authorized the job. Once a job has been authorized and completed, the Client will remain liable for the full amount due.

PERFORMANCE: Seller’s performance of this Contract is subject to war, strikes, fires, uncontrollable delays in manufacturer and transit, acts of God, Governmental regulations, or other events of any type that are beyond control of the Seller, thus the Seller shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Client resulting from any such events.

PAYMENT: Payment is due when work is completed. Title to all items shall remain the Seller's property until payment of the total purchase price has been received.

Any deposit received is nonrefundable and will be applied toward the total amount due. At the time of cancellation physical materials required for the job may be offered to the Client at the discretion of the Seller.

In the event that collection or litigation becomes necessary the Client agrees to pay any and all attorney fees, court fees, filing fees, Seller's time, etc. as may be required or necessary for collection of this debt and that any and all litigation may take place in Hillsborough County.
