Terms of Service

    • Projects over $2,000 require a deposit of 50%, with a 30% payment due upon design completion, and the 20% balance before website launch.
  • To keep all projects current JJ Social Light reserves the right to invoice clients monthly for work performed if their project takes longer than 30 days to complete.
  • It is our policy to provide all clients with a written proposal and contract for review and acceptance. It is the client’s responsibility to review the proposal and contract and request any changes or additions in writing or via email before an estimate becomes final.
    If a project gets canceled by the client after accepting our estimate and contract the client will be responsible for a cancellation fee equal to 30% of the total project value, plus any billable hours to date.
  • Depending on the nature of a project the client will be given a timeline for providing required deliverables, such as content, images, logos, etc. If the client falls behind the provided timeline we will work with the client as much as possible to get back on track.
    However, if the client falls more than 15 days behind JJ Social Light reserves the right to suspend the project and bill the client for all billable hours to date.
  • If a project falls more than 30 days behind JJ Social Light reserves the right to terminate the project and bill the client for the entire project balance.
  • Clients who had their projects suspended or terminated must pay any outstanding balance plus any applicable charges to commence their project before JJ Social Light continues any work on their project.

Payment Policy

  • Payment is due upon receipt.
  • Invoices are emailed on the 1st of the month to the billing address or email on file for your account. Invoices for services other than hosting, website maintenance, content, and social media marketing campaigns and search engine optimization require a credit card on file for auto payments.
  • Existing clients in good standing may qualify for a credit account. If you would like to inquire about establishing a credit account for your company please contact our accounting department at accounting@jjsociallight.com
