Terms in short
- Projects start with a 50% deposit. The balance is due before final, unwatermarked files.
- Retainers are billed monthly in advance.
- Rush delivery in under half the usual time adds 25%.
- An extra review round costs 10% of the item, minimum $20.
- Every video delivery includes SRT and VTT caption files at no extra cost.
- Variations of a delivered piece (a new hook, text, colour or end card, for example for A/B tests) cost 25% of the item each. A new concept is priced as a new piece.
- Arabic or Hebrew translation is done by a licensed translator and billed at cost plus 15%.
Ways to pay less
- Start with a paid pilot. Its fee comes off your first project if you order within 30 days.
- Refer another team. They get $75 off a first project of $450 or more, and you get a credit of 10% of their first invoice, up to $150.
- Early-stage startups can pay in three milestones instead of two, at the same price.
- Brief Ramadan, Eid, National Day or year-end work 21 days ahead and I waive the rush fee.
I don't run time-limited sales or show inflated "was" prices.
Taxes and invoices
I invoice from India as an export of services, in the currency on your quote. Business clients in the UAE, the EU and Australia normally account for local VAT or GST themselves under the reverse charge, so please share your tax registration number. Payment goes to a local bank account in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD or AED through a regulated payment provider, and you receive a full invoice for every payment.
