work. If the client accepts the quote the Client at that point should provide charge card information to DIAMOND ADVERTISING, INC. or forward
a check or money order to DIAMOND ADVERTISING, INC. with The Contract Agreement, in the

retainer or stop the process at that point. If the quote is more than the

retainer (or payment in full) we will place their site into our production schedule. We will deduct charges from the retainer as we
proceed. Once the retainer is extinguished we will request the remaining portion
of the job quote to be paid in full prior to delivery of completed work. In addition the client agrees that all information needed for the design of the web site will be forwarded either with the retainer (or payment in full) or within two weeks of submitting the retainer (or payment in full). In cases where the client employs DIAMOND ADVERTISING, INC. to design their site the client agrees and understands that not providing the information to DIAMOND ADVERTISING, INC. within thirty (30) days of submitting the retainer (or payment in full) will constitute abandonment of the project by the client. In cases of abandonment the client agrees to forfeit the retainer (or payment in full) and relieve DIAMOND ADVERTISING, INC. of any and all liability or responsibility for the design of their site. If
for any reason the client chooses to stop the project once we begin production
on the project, client will forfeit any and all monies including the entire
retainer (or payment in full). Minimum billing in any one cycle is one hour, for any work on clients
account. The client agrees that quotes or estimates are a gauge to determine
about how long a job will take and that actual time spent can exceed the quote
or estimate. Client will be responsible for the entire amount of actual time
spent on project, unless client is participating in a package or other special
offered by DIAMOND ADVERTISING, INC., In those cases the client will be responsible
for no more than the highest price quoted, If the work exceeds the highest
price quoted and the client makes no changes to the original order, the excess
time spent on account will not be billed. If a client chooses to end a project
before completion they will not gain the right to any of the work. Work will
not be transferred to the client unless the project is completed and payment
is received in full and then only the finished product will be transferred
(See paragraph #35). All Rush orders will be subject to a fee of at least
$100.00. Fee for rush orders will be determined by the work to be done and
the amount of time involved. If at any time the client takes longer then 30
days from the time they enter the agreement with DIAMOND ADVERTISING, INC.
to submit information for the development of their site, the client understands
that payment in full for any and all design work will be required when they
do not submit the site information within 30 days of employing our services.

to additional charges.

if collection becomes necessary. If a client does not submit payment for service
within (7) seven days of receipt of the invoice and their account enters delinquent
status their account will be suspended and deleted. Suspension and deletion
of the clients account does not relieve the client of their obligation to
pay their debt. Charges will continue to accrue until the amount owed is paid
in full. If a client allows their account to fall into delinquent status they
will forfeit any and all monies paid towards the design and hosting of their
site and they will have their line of credit revoked, as well as losing any
and all rights to any of the work completed prior to the client entering delinquent
