4. Project Timeline
Estimated timelines are provided in our proposals and on our pricing page. These are good-faith estimates and actual timelines may vary based on:
- Client responsiveness and content delivery
- Scope of requested revisions
- Third-party integrations or dependencies
- Complexity of custom features
Delays caused by the Client (e.g., late content delivery, delayed feedback) may extend the project timeline accordingly.
5. Client Responsibilities
To ensure timely project delivery, the Client agrees to:
- Provide all necessary content (text, images, logos) in a timely manner
- Provide feedback and approvals within 5 business days of receiving mockups or deliverables
- Designate a single point of contact for project communications
- Provide access to domain registrar, hosting accounts, or other third-party services as needed
- Ensure all content provided is owned by the Client or properly licensed
6. Revisions
Each package includes a specified number of revision rounds:
- Starter: 1 round of revisions

- Premium: 3 rounds of revisions
A "round of revisions" includes a consolidated list of changes submitted within one feedback session. Additional revision rounds beyond what is included in your package may be purchased at $150 per round.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 Ownership
Upon receipt of full payment, the Client receives full ownership of the completed website design and custom code created specifically for their project. This includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and any custom graphics created for the project.
7.2 Retained Rights
BLKQ retains the right to:
- Display the completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials

8. Refund and Cancellation Policy
8.1 Before Design Work Begins
If you cancel before any design work has started (typically within 48 hours of deposit payment), you are entitled to a full refund of your deposit.
8.2 After Design Work Begins
Once design work has commenced, the deposit is non-refundable as it covers the design, research, and planning work already completed. If you cancel after design work has begun:
- You will receive any completed work and assets created up to the cancellation date
- No further payments will be owed beyond what has already been paid
- The deposit will not be refunded
8.3 Dissatisfaction
If you are not satisfied with the final deliverable, we will work with you through additional revisions (up to 2 extra rounds at no cost) to address your concerns before any cancellation is considered.

The arbitration shall take place in the United States, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding.
