Our Policies
Payment Policy
Unless other arrangements are made in writing between both parties, all projects at Anvil & Hammer Studios require a pre-determined deposit prior to their initiation, 50% of remaining balance due upon concept approval, and the remainder due upon completion. Anvil & Hammer Studios owns all project's digital and non-digital materials created by Anvil & Hammer Studios until payment is received in full. Full payment is due upon project completion, and must be made by check, cash, or credit card via PayPal.
Development Policy
Anvil & Hammer Studios reserves the right not to accept projects that promote anything that it finds objectionable, opinionated, or controversial. This includes websites containing or promoting racism, pornography, religion, politics, or other similar subject matter.
Websites created by Anvil & Hammer Studios must have the statement "Website designed by Anvil & Hammer Studios" (and possibly include a small Anvil & Hammer Studios logo and/or link) placed in the footer of each page. If you wish to have this removed, this may be negotiated at additional cost.
Anvil & Hammer Studios reserves the right to include any projects developed by us in our portfolio.
Limitation of Liability
Anvil & Hammer Studios will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue or profits, arising in connection with the projects that we developed.
Anvil & Hammer Studios reserves the right to delay or stop any project development for any reason without liability. Anvil & Hammer Studios will notify the client immediately of any changes of project development status, and make appropriate arrangements. If a stoppage in development is caused by Anvil & Hammer Studios, the client will be refunded the deposit minus any billable hours.
Project Contents
All digital and non-digital materials supplied by the client to Anvil & Hammer Studios for project development must be, either owned by the client or given copyright permission for publication. Anvil & Hammer Studios is not responsible for copyright infringements found on these materials.
Project Concepts
Anvil & Hammer Studios reserves the rights to all concepts/mock-ups until final payment is made to us. Upon final payment, all copyrights/rights to the chosen concept are transfered to the client. All unused concepts remain the property of Anvil & Hammer Studios to be used in future projects or templates. Should the client wish to have the rights to the unused concepts, they may negotiate this with us at an additional cost.
Cancellation of Project Development
A request to cancel project must be made, in writing, to Anvil & Hammer Studios and include the signature of the authoritative client. Anvil & Hammer Studios will charge for the hours accumulated in project development prior to when the cancellation request is made.
Pause in Project Development
A request to pause project development must be made in writing to Anvil & Hammer Studios and include the signature of the authoritative client. The delay will not exceed a period of 30 days. Unless other arrangements are made between both parties, Anvil & Hammer Studios will assume any delay requested by the client that exceeds the 30-day period, without notification, a cancellation, and hence will charge for the number of hours accumulated in project development before the request to pause is made.
