Streamlined throughout two decades in business, my working terms are straightforward because it’s simple working with me.

Payment

You’ll make a non-refundable 50 percent payment before the project begins (unless otherwise stated). Work is scheduled as soon as payment is received. The remaining amount is payable when you’re happy the work has been completed to the highest standard. Final design files are supplied upon full payment.

Bank transfers are to be made in GBP (Great British Pounds). Bank account details are within each invoice.

Revisions and refinements

The quoted fees include up to two rounds of revisions or refinements after the initial design presentation. These stages allow for considered feedback and subtle adjustments to ensure the outcome is as strong and effective as possible.

Communication

Call me on 07739530457 (or 447739530457 from outside the UK), Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, between 9am and 5pm UK time. I reply to emails within a few hours between Monday and Friday. Video calls can be scheduled in advance: https://cal.com/davidairey

Rights and ownership

Upon full payment, you’ll own the final approved designs created during the project. You’re free to use the supplied files in any way you wish, without needing additional permission. I retain the right to share the work for self-promotion purposes—including portfolio presentation, publications, award entries, and exhibitions.

Indemnity

This section is included on the recommendation of major design organisations.

You agree to indemnify me from any claims, demands, losses, causes of action, damage, lawsuits, judgments, including attorneys’ fees and costs, but only to the extent caused by and arising out of the work I supply.

For context, my work has never resulted in a legal dispute in more than 20 years of practice.

Samples

You agree to mail me samples of any printed material resulting from the work—such as packaging, brochures, or stationery. I may photograph these samples for promotional use.

Confidentiality

If any details you share should remain confidential, please let me know beforehand. You can trust that I’ll handle all information with discretion. As noted in the “Rights and ownership” section, I do reserve the ability to share completed design work for self-promotion once it’s public or in use.

Digital files

All final design files will be securely stored for at least one year after project completion, in case they’re lost or damaged at your end. There’s no charge for resending files during this period.

Consensus

These terms are supplied in writing with the first invoice. Receipt of your downpayment lets me know you’re happy to accept, and I’ll be delighted to get to work.

That’s it.

Any questions, just ask.
