AVAILABILITY

(BOOKINGS)

+ Unless a design fee is purchased, availability to work on your project is not guaranteed. Even after a quote is provided, it is possible that my schedule will book.

+ The only way to ensure we can work together on your project is by purchasing a design fee.​

(RATES)

+ Rates are subject to change at any time depending on workload and material costs, even after a quote is provided. The only way to lock in rates for custom illustrations + printing items is to purchase the desired items.​​

​

COMMUNICATION

+ Communication will be kept to email, as it is helpful to the design process to have a clear written detailing of each design request.

​

TIMING

(TIMING)
For custom save the dates and wedding invitations:
+Design Phase:

~ roughly 3-5 weeks
- begins when you return your completed questionnaire
- samples will be delivered via email, check the listing description details of the item you would like to purchase for timing quote​

+Revisions Phase:

~ roughly 1-3 weeks (This greatly depends on the quantity and complexity of revisions requested. Sometimes we skip this phase all together.)

- allow for more time if extensive revisions are requested​

PLEASE NOTE:
- Due to the custom nature of my work, please keep in mind all timing quotes are subject to variation.
- Refunds will not be provided if you fail to read the timing for your project prior to purchasing, or if you find the timing will not work for your project after purchase.

ERRORS

(ERRORS / MISTAKES / TYPOS)
+ Chicks n Hens is not responsible for ANY errors (design, spelling, or grammatical) found on your designs after you approve your final samples. I do my best to ensure every design is perfect, but ultimately it is your responsibility to read over and approve your design samples for printing. (This applies to print orders AND digital file orders.) 
+ Please look over your designs carefully. I highly recommend having a second person also proofread your designs. 
+ Designs are printed exactly as they appear when you approve them. Any errors discovered after printing will mean that you need to pay for reprints, even if the error was my fault. 
+ Refunds will NOT be provided for errors.

SHIPPING

(ALL PACKAGES) 
+ Packages will automatically ship to the address associated your order.
+ In the event that you provide the wrong shipping address, refunds will not be provided for the lost package.
+ All packages from Chicks n Hens are sent with tracking and insurance (except samples).
+ All print orders over $300 will require a signature upon delivery. Please contact me prior to shipment to add or remove this service. 
+ I cannot personally guarantee estimated delivery dates provided by the USPS.
+ If your package is lost or damaged during shipment by the USPS I will file a claim with the USPS. The timeframe for the refund or resolution from the USPS is out of my hands beyond that point. In the event that a package is damaged, you must keep all original packaging for the USPS to review and you must contact me within 10 business days of delivery in order for me to file a claim.

(INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES)
+ Sometimes packages are delayed in customs. You will be responsible for any customs fees you may incur.
+ If you are in a hurry to receive your prints, I suggest going with digital files and printing locally.

+ Etsy recently added a "customs fee" of roughly $15 USD to some international orders. This fee does not go towards shipping, customs, or towards your order. To avoid this unnecessary fee I recommend shopping through my main site (www.chicks-n-hens.com).

PRINTS VS. DIGITAL FILES​
(PRINTS VS. DIGITAL FILES)
+ Orders cannot be changed from print orders to digital file orders or vice versa after purchase.

(PAPER AND PRINT QUALITY)
+ Samples are ALWAYS available if you would like to feel the paper and see the print quality before placing your full order for prints. 
+ Remember, colors can vary slightly from computer to computer, and from the computer to the printer.
+ Chicks n Hens is proud to be considered a "handmade" illustration & print shop. Print dimensions may vary slightly (by a smidge!), as Chicks n Hens prints are each lovingly cut by hand. 

(DIGITAL FILES AND OWNERSHIP)

WEDDINGS:
+ I own the rights to my designs and illustrations. 
+ I reserve the right to display or use the custom design created for you on my main website, social media outlets, etc. I am happy to alter any personal information prior to sharing per your request (such as last names, etc.).
+ Final high-resolution digital files for weddings will be sent as flattened PDF and JPEG files meant for printing only. Editable / working / design files are never for sale. 
+ Please do not take portions of my designs or illustrations to reuse, alter, resell, or post anywhere without my written permission. These are MY designs, and are meant to be printed exactly as is.
+ Ordering digital files means you or your local print shop will be responsible for the entire printing process including printer settings, color matching, paper selection, document set up, and bleed requirements for the specific printer used, etc. Any of these items are beyond the services provided with digital file orders. 
+ You will need to coordinate and communicate with whatever print shop you choose. Communication between Chicks n Hens and a third party printer is not included with digital file orders. THIS IS A *DO IT YOURSELF* OPTION. ​
