Terms and Conditions

All quotations and proposals issued by OJP Studios are subject to change or withdrawal at any time prior to the signing of a formal agreement with the Client.

Estimates are provided for planning and budgeting purposes only and do not constitute a binding agreement.

OJP Studios will make reasonable efforts to work within the agreed budget but is not responsible for costs exceeding the estimate due to changes in project scope, unforeseen circumstances, or Client requests.

If project fees or expenses exceed the agreed amount by more than ten percent (10%), OJP Studios will obtain written approval from the Client before proceeding.

Any additional fees or expenses authorized orally by the Client shall be invoiced accordingly and are payable by the Client.

A signed agreement or written confirmation is required before any work begins. Both the Client and OJP Studios confirm that they have the legal authority to enter into this agreement and that it is binding and enforceable.

The first consultation is free and may be conducted via phone or email.

In-person consultations are subject to travel fees outside of Los Angeles County. After the initial consultation, all further consultations (in person, phone, or email) will be billed at $50/hour, with a one-hour minimum charge.

All billable services, including revisions, changes, and other hourly tasks, have a one-hour minimum charge.

Rush Jobs: Projects requiring expedited completion (sooner than initially agreed upon) or requiring work outside of regular business hours (10:00 AM – 6:00 PM) will incur a rush fee of 150% of standard rates.

If a rush job is requested, the Client must specify the deadline. OJP Studios will confirm whether the deadline can be met and if rush charges apply. If the Client requests work to be completed “ASAP,” OJP Studios will execute it as soon as scheduling allows, with rush fees applied accordingly.

Project-Based Work:

A 33% initial payment of the estimated total project cost is required before work begins. Work will commence only after the initial payment has cleared.

Payments are accepted via cash, check, money transfer, or certified payment methods.

For flat-rate projects, a second installment of 33% is due upon delivery of the first draft, as outlined on a per-project basis. The final balance is due upon delivery of the completed work.

Invoices are issued monthly for services rendered and incurred costs. If major expenses arise during the project, the Client will be notified and expected to reimburse OJP Studios upon receipt of invoice, with receipts provided for transparency.

Final invoices are payable within fifteen (15) days of receipt. A 2% monthly service charge will be applied to overdue balances.

Monthly Retainer Clients:

Clients on a monthly retainer will be billed on a recurring basis at the start of each month, covering the agreed-upon scope of services.

Payment is due in full within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date.

Retainer agreements are structured as a fixed monthly fee, based on the estimated number of service hours or deliverables. Any additional work beyond the agreed retainer scope will be billed at standard hourly or project rates and must be approved in writing.

Unused hours do not roll over to the following month unless explicitly agreed upon in writing.

Clients may cancel a retainer agreement with 30 days’ written notice, and the final billing period will be prorated accordingly.

Late payments are subject to a 2% monthly service charge and may result in suspension of services until payment is received.

If the Client fails to respond to any request from OJP Studios for 30 consecutive days, the full remaining balance of the project becomes due immediately, regardless of project status.

The Client may not cancel an order unless the request is submitted in writing and OJP Studios confirms acceptance in writing.

Upon cancellation, the Client may be required to pay:

- The full sales value of any completed goods or services.

- The cost of any materials purchased by OJP Studios that cannot reasonably be repurposed.

- Any additional costs or liabilities incurred by OJP Studios due to the Client’s cancellation.

- Any extra costs or liabilities resulting from delays, miscommunications, or interruptions caused by the Client will be added to the final invoice and are payable by the Client.
