INITIAL PROOFS
Creative work cannot always be produced in a flash. We will need to schedule your job into our workflow in an orderly fashion. Depending on the job’s complexity, we normally ask for at least two weeks to turn around the first draft after we have received everything from you. If you have a rush project or tight deadline, we may be able to accommodate you, but keep in mind the pricing may change.

PRINTING
We prefer that you allow us to handle your project through the final printing/production stage. We oversee the entire process to get the best possible results. Fisher Design has on-going relationships with many printers and we choose a printer not only for economy but for their expertise and quality of work. We cannot be held responsible for the quality and reproduction of printing we don’t supervise.

APPROVALS
We try to make certain all information in your job is correct. It is, however, the responsibility of the client to review all material before printing or publishing to verify its accuracy. We want your marketing materials to be perfect, therefore we ask you to take extra time reviewing your proofs.

CONFIDENTIALITY
To protect your intellectual property, we are happy to agree to and/or sign confidentiality agreements with any client.

KILLED JOBS
If you have contracted with us to do a job and midway through the job, you decide to cancel the assignment, you will be responsible for paying Fisher Design for the time put into the job thus far. You will be charged our normal hourly rate for all hours after the initial consultation. The client is financially obligated for all work done, whether or not it is used.

SPEC WORK
Please do not ask us to do speculative work. The reputation of Mary Fisher Design is solid and our portfolio speaks for itself, allowing the client to decide if Fisher Design is the right agency for the job.

OWNERSHIP
Although the law specifies the rights of the artwork remains with the artists, we want our clients to be the final owners. Therefore, after full payment of the job, the rights of the final files and final product are transferred to you, the client. The only exception is with rights protected photography or illustrations which remain with the author. A copy of your file can be given to you on a CD. Additionally, should you need your files distributed to other parties over a period of time, we will charge on an hourly basis, accumulating time spent on these tasks until reasonable to bill out.
