TERMS & CONDITIONS

I. PAYMENTS

A. LOCAL CLIENTS (Philippine Based)

●  We accept payments in Philippine Peso, through GCASH only.
●  For all design packages, we require a 50% down payment upon confirmation of your order. This will reserve you a slot on our design queue.
●  For other services, we require the full payment up front.
●  The remainder of your balance must be settled before completion of your blog layout and design.
●  Please note that the following transaction fees will be added to your total amount due:
►  GCASH :  1% of the total amount.

B. INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS

●  Payments are accepted through XOOM. (https://www.xoom.com/)
●  Clients are responsible for any transaction fees charged by XOOM.
●  To avoid too many transactions and the fees that come with it, I require all payments from international clients to be made in FULL.

II. PRICING, RATES, AND DISCOUNTS

●  OCTOBERDES16NS reserves the right to adjust package rates as we see fit. Such adjustments will be posted on the site prior to implementation.
●  We may give discounts to clients at our discretion.

III. QUEUE and TURNAROUND TIME

●  Priority on the Design Queue will be based on who paid the reservation fee first.
●  Turnaround time is based on several factors, including:
►  Complexity of design
►  Prompt feedback from the client
►  Revision or adjustment requests
●  Typically, the entire design phase from start to finish can run anywhere from 2 business days to 1 week.

IV. CONFIDENTIALITY

●  Because I prefer to work directly on your site, I will be asking for your log-in details. ●  I highly recommend that you change your password to a temporary one I can use during the design phase.
●  All emails, documents, log-in information, etc. provided by the client will be treated with utmost confidentiality.

V. COMMUNICATION and BUSINESS HOURS

●  All communication will be through email, and in some cases, through text.
●  Generally, I like to go by “typical business hours” – Philippine time, so if I don’t respond to your text message or email in the wee hours of the morning or super late at night, please understand. Same goes for weekends. (I have a life too, you know. LOL)
●  I will respond to your text or email ASAP.

VI. ADJUSTMENTS, REVISIONS and MAINTENANCE

●  Minor adjustments and edits are free during the design phase.
●  Please be reasonable. There is a huge difference between an ADJUSTMENT, and a REVISION.
●  Any errors on my part must be brought promptly to my attention, as adjustments/revisions will no longer be free after the project is completed.
●  Should you require any changes after the project has been completed, please let me know. I will assess the amount of change that needs to be done, and charge you accordingly. Post-completion adjustment and revision charges start at $10.

VII. CREDIT

●  Designer Credits will be placed on ALL themes created by OCTOBERDES16NS.
●  This may be in a form of a link button, or attribution on your page footer.
●  However I decide to leave my design credits, it must remain PRESENT, INTACT, and UNALTERED for as long as the theme created is in use.

VIII. USAGE

●  One paid theme, one blog. Each theme is created for SINGLE BLOG use only. Please be fair.
●  OCTOBERDES16NS reserves the right to display themes, screenshots, etc. on our portfolio and on the online gallery.

IX. REFUND POLICY

●  Reservation fees (50% down payment and full payments for int’l clients) are non-refundable.
●  Should you decide to cancel the service at any time during the process; requests for refunds will not be entertained.
