SUBMISSION, REVISIONS, AND APPROVAL
After a draft has been submitted as a milestone deliverable, the Customer is required to give feedback on the draft within the number of business days specified in the service brief found on the website or in agreement.

Once the Customer has provided final approval of the draft, no changes may be requested without additional charges applied at Platform’s discretion.
After a draft is submitted, the Customer will have a set number of revision sessions for each milestone approval as stipulated in the service brief. If the Customer uses the full number of revisions and is still not satisfied with the final outcome of the revised work, the Customer can choose to terminate the contract and get a refund on unused funds or pay for more revision sessions. Nonetheless, the Customer remains obligated to pay for any Platform Services provided prior to termination of the Contract.

If Customer Materials have not been provided within the stipulated number of days, the Platform reserves the right to complete the service using placeholder or dummy materials. In this case, the dummy materials used by the Platform will not be subject to Customer revision. If the Customer provides the Customer Materials after the stipulated time period has elapsed, additional charges may apply at Platform’s discretion.
