Refund Policy
All projects are subject to a complete 100% non-refundable payment from client. Please understand that under no circumstance can a refund be given especially after work (including proofs) has been issued and/or labor has begun.
No refunds are given for any promotional sale prices. If for any reason client cancels services, no payment shall be reimbursed and becomes forfeited by the client. Once promotional items have been shipped and delivered, no refund shall be reimbursed unless items are defective.
I am always excited to work with you all and I never like to feel as though the relationship is negative between a client and I but if at any time, I feel client is being negligent, hostile, disrespectful, etc. I reserve the right to withdraw from the project. If project has already been started, the payment becomes forfeited and no refunds will be given. If the project has not yet been started, all monies will be refunded and the project will come to a close.
Payments & Deposits
Payments for any package will be invoiced via email. All purchases under $300, must be paid in full before order is started. You are allowed to pay a deposit of half the total amount on any package over $300. Any purchases over $300 require a non-refundable 50% deposit which is to be paid before your order is started. After your order is complete, you will need to submit the other half of the total to receive final items. Retainer packages and package deal must be paid in FULL.

Communication
All communication shall be done strictly via email. I currently do NOT accept phone calls/phone consultations due to needing a paper trail.
AK Designs works consistently to get orders out. Please be advised there will be no constant contact once your order has been submitted or during the creation period of your design. THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOUR ORDER IS NOT BEING WORKED ON, OR HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED. If you have any questions about your order during this time, no problem, simply email ak.designs8@gmail.com and we will be more than happy to respond. Orders are created faster and better when there are no constant interruptions.

PSD or AI files are sent for an additional fee.
Design Content
It is imperative to have a vision of some sort for your brand. Please keep in mind that when you ask me to FREESTLYE, our visions may not match or align. This may lead to multiple revisions, and sometimes disagreements between the customer and I. It is best to have a least a small concept so that the designer has something to work with.
Having a small vision such as the colors, font choices, or the entire look you're going for makes a BIG difference.
Shipping
Please note this is ONLY for those who have ordered items that need to be shipped. Once you confirm the design of your product, it will then prepare for print and shipment. This means your product will be printed out, and looked over again in case of any mistakes. This could take about two days. If it is the weekend, your shipment will not be mailed out until the next business day.
All packages are sent via UPS. A tracking number will be provided once your order has shipped.
PLEASE make sure your shipping information/address is CORRECT. AK Designs is not responsible for your package once it has been shipped off. If you should have a problem with delivery, it is suggested that you call your local post office and give them your tracking number in efforts to resolve the issue.
Please note that due to COVID-19 there ARE shipping delays and delivery dates are estimate dates and can be delayed beyond that time. It is completely out of AK Designs control.
Ghost Policy
Client must provide all information requested for a project in a timely manner. If there is a delay on your behalf, the completion date of your project changes. Clients must keep communication going and if more time is needed to gather information, that is to be discussed along with check-ins. We are aware that life happens, and unforeseen circumstances may occur, we just ask that you kindly notify us! After 45 days of no communication, there will be a $150 restart fee. After 90 days (3 months), your project is forfeited, and no refund shall be issued. Your entire project will come to a close!
As AK Designs values your time, we ask that you value ours. Ghosting then revisiting your project several months later without prior notification severely messes up our schedule. It is not fair to those customers who came prepared, ready with their information. Please note we will adhere and ENFORCE this policy!
