1. Pinnacle’s Services & Payment Terms: 

1.1 Upon ordering any service from Pinnacle Design Studio:

1.2 Where design work has been ordered, you will be provided with three (3) concepts to select from (when ordering a logo). The concepts will be based on your initial design brief compiled by you for Pinnacle Design’s purposes. Upon selection of a design concept you will be able to make up to five (5) revisions to the concept you selected. A “revision” means any minor amendment to the concept within the scope of the design brief provided by you and may include the change of colour or minor adjustments to the concept, but does not include the creation of a new design. Each revision made will be numbered and marked accordingly by Pinnacle Design Studio. If you require further revisions beyond the revisions noted about, please refer to clause 3.

1.3 The quotation provided to you may also require payment of a 30% deposit for the services. Payment of the deposit is to be made prior to commencement of work. Where a deposit has been requested, Pinnacle Design Studio will not be obliged to commence works and works will not commence until cleared funds for the deposit have been received by Pinnacle Design Studio. The balance of the quotation will be required to be paid upon completion of the services within the payment period set out in that quote.

1.4 You should be aware that all fees charged will be in addition to Goods and Services Tax under the A New Tax System (Goods & Services Tax Act) 1999. Where other transfers, taxes or fees apply (particularly for orders outside Australia), you will be required to pay these in addition to the purchase price for the service(s).

1.5 Payment can be arranged in Australian Dollars using one of the methods available on Pinnacle Design Studio’ quote provided to you and must be paid in full within the payment period set out in that quote.

Any cancellations made after that time will not be accepted or approved by Pinnacle Design Studio and you will be liable to make payment in full of the quote for printing services rendered.
