DNEWIQ CORP / Fees & invoicing
Payment Policy
Fees are agreed before work begins. The standard proposed arrangement is 50% to begin and 50% before final-file delivery, with additional work approved separately and no online checkout on this website.
01. What this policy applies to
This policy describes payment arrangements for editorial and publication design services commissioned from DNEWIQ CORP. It applies together with the accepted written proposal, the Terms of Service and the Cancellation & Refund Policy. If a proposal expressly sets a different payment schedule or a project-specific commercial term, that agreed provision applies to the relevant project, subject to mandatory law.
Viewing a price, opening a service panel or completing the website's local brief form does not create a payment obligation. The form does not process a card, initiate a bank transfer, issue an invoice or reserve a project slot. A paid engagement requires a separate agreement that identifies the service, fee and payment stages. If any amount is unclear, obtain clarification before accepting the proposal.
02. Starting prices and currency
Website starting prices are expressed in United States dollars: Editorial Layout Design from $650, Typography & Reading Structure from $350, Publication Template Systems from $750, and Content Grid & Composition Planning from $450. These are starter-scope fees, rather than universal prices for every page count, content condition or deliverable. The service-detail panels describe the included starting scope and two revision rounds.
The final quote takes account of the agreed page or template count, content readiness, output requirements and any approved additions. Taxes that are legally required, licensed assets, approved outside costs and other separately chargeable items should be identified in the proposal or invoice. Do not assume that a displayed starting fee includes an unlimited number of pages, unlimited revisions or a full range of file formats.
03. Initial payment
Unless the accepted proposal states otherwise, 50% of the agreed project fee is invoiced before work begins. This initial payment supports the commencement of the agreed scope and allocation of project time. The start date is confirmed after acceptance, receipt of the initial payment and the delivery of the materials needed for the first stage. A payment alone cannot resolve an incomplete scope or missing content.
The initial payment is applied toward the project fee. It is not described as automatically nonrefundable in every circumstance. If a project is canceled, the amount earned for work already performed and approved commitments is assessed under the Cancellation & Refund Policy. Any unused amount must be considered in that settlement rather than assumed to have been spent simply because it was paid in advance.
04. Balance and milestone payments
For a project using the standard two-stage arrangement, the remaining 50% is due after final approval and before release of the agreed final production files. Review proofs are provided as part of the design process; they are not a substitute for the final agreed handoff. The proposal should make clear when the balance is invoiced and when the payment is due.
A larger or more complex publication may use milestone payments instead. Each milestone should have a defined amount and a clear trigger, such as approval of the design structure or completion of an agreed page group. Milestones are agreed in advance and are not added unilaterally after work begins. The total and the treatment of an interrupted stage should be understandable from the agreement.
05. Invoices and accepted payment methods
Invoices identify DNEWIQ CORP, the relevant project or stage, the amount due, the currency, the due date and the accepted method of payment. Payment methods are confirmed through the proposal or invoice; this website does not claim to support every card network, bank method or online wallet. If an invoice differs from the accepted proposal, ask for an explanation before paying the disputed difference.
Use only payment instructions that can be verified through an established company contact. A change in bank details or an unexpected urgent payment request should be checked directly. Do not send full card numbers, security codes, passwords or account-login information in the website form or ordinary project email. A third-party payment provider, where used, applies its own operational and privacy terms to the payment process.
06. Additional work and revisions
Two consolidated rounds of in-scope revisions are included in the starting services shown. An additional round, a substantial change in approved content, a new layout direction, extra pages or a different output format may require an additional fee. DNEWIQ should explain the proposed addition and its effect on the schedule before the work is carried out. The client's written approval is required for a chargeable scope increase.
Additional work may be offered as a fixed-price addition or at $50 per hour with an agreed estimate or spending cap. The hourly approach applies only when the client has accepted it; it is not retroactively imposed on a fixed-fee project. If the approved estimate or cap will be exceeded, a further approval is needed. Work needed to correct DNEWIQ's failure to follow the agreed scope is not automatically treated as a paid client addition.
07. Licensed assets and outside costs
Font licenses, stock images, specialist software access or other third-party materials are not automatically included in a starting price. Before a cost is incurred on the client's behalf, the parties should agree which asset or service is needed, the estimated price, who obtains the license and whether the expense is payable directly or reimbursed. A client's license must cover the client's intended use.
If an approved third-party purchase cannot be canceled or refunded, that documented cost may affect the settlement of a canceled project. A charge should not be described as nonrecoverable without regard to the supplier's actual terms. DNEWIQ does not operate a printing or shipping checkout through this website; any expressly agreed external production arrangement must identify its own provider, cost and responsibility.
08. Late or disputed payments
If a payment will be late, notify DNEWIQ promptly so the parties can discuss the effect on the working schedule. Work or final-file release may be paused when an agreed payment is overdue, following communication of the issue. Restart timing depends on the updated plan and availability. This policy does not automatically add a late fee, collection charge or penalty that was not agreed or that applicable law does not allow.
For an invoice concern, identify the invoice, the disputed item and the reason for the concern. The parties should compare the invoice with the approved scope, milestones and additions. A genuine discrepancy should be addressed through clarification or correction. No part of this policy removes a lawful right to dispute an unauthorized or incorrectly charged payment.
09. Refunds and payment records
Refunds are evaluated under the Cancellation & Refund Policy by comparing the amounts paid with the value of authorized work performed and approved, nonrecoverable commitments. Where a refund is due, the settlement should identify the calculation and the payment method. A returned payment is not a transfer of rights to unfinished or unpaid design materials.
Invoices, payment confirmations and relevant agreement records may be retained for business recordkeeping, applicable obligations and the resolution of a concern. They should contain only the information needed for those purposes. The website does not save payment-card data or provide an account dashboard. Keep your own copies of proposals, invoices and payment confirmations so the agreed arrangements remain accessible.
10. Changes and payment questions
Future starting prices and standard payment arrangements may change as the service offering develops. A published update does not change a fee already agreed for a project or authorize a charge for work the client did not request. Changes to an accepted scope or payment schedule need a documented agreement.
Send payment questions to editorial@dnewiq.com and include the project name or invoice reference without unnecessary financial credentials. If a suspected payment instruction cannot be verified, pause the payment and contact the company through a known channel.
