We accept credit cards (Visa, and) as well as Paypal, money order, and personal checks. Payments by personal checks will delay production start date until payment has cleared.
8. Payment
Orders requiring design work are processed in two phases. The design phase is to be paid for in full. Once all designs have been approved by the customer a second order if applicable will be processed and associated payments are also made in full upon placement of order. All Other Orders: Full payment is due upon receipt of the order. Special arrangements may be made under special consideration of the terms between Digi-books Montage Studio and the customer.
9. Cancellation Policy
Once design work has begun and a cancellation has then occurred a refund will be awarded equal to 50% the total design fee. If cancellation is requested within 48 hours of the date an order was placed full refund will be awarded. Once production has begun to produce any one of our physical products no refund is awarded upon cancellation of an order. There are no refunds for samples.
10. Rush Orders
We can not guarantee an order can be rushed due to the variety of products we offer. If you need an order rushed please contact mydesigner studio and arrangements can be negotiated. A fee may be charged, but will be agreed upon by both parties.
11. Modifications to Orders
Changes to design work will only be made during the design phase. Once the customer has approved of all designs and your project has already begun production no modifications to designs are allowed. Changes to the product selections such as book cover options can be made prior to production only. Any changes once selections have already been produced will be charged the appropriated change fees.
12. Delivery Time
Delivery times are estimated and are not guaranteed. Delivery time begins once an order for designing is approved and all payments are received. All efforts will be made to produce all customer orders timely and without compromise to final product quality. Delays may occur due to demand of products and services. We will do our best to keep you informed of updated production status or any unplanned delays.
