Payment Options: At Espresso Yourself, we understand the diverse needs of our clients. To accommodate this, we offer flexible payment options for our Offering(s). Clients can choose to pay in full at the start of a project or select a monthly installment plan. Specific terms, including the payment schedule and amounts, will be outlined in your personalized service agreement.

Payment Terms: Our engagement with your project begins upon receipt of the initial deposit or the first installment payment, as detailed in our agreement. We commit to providing clear, detailed invoices and payment schedules for transparency and ease of understanding. This ensures both parties have a clear understanding of financial obligations from the outset.

Late Payment Policy: We offer a 15-day grace period for payments following the due date. Should payment not be received within this period, a late fee of $35 may be applied to the outstanding amount. We understand that circumstances can arise, and we encourage clients to communicate with us should they face difficulties meeting payment deadlines. Continued non-payment, however, may necessitate the suspension or termination of Offering(s), as detailed in our service agreement.

Refund Policy: Due to the bespoke nature of our offerings, including branding, custom web design, and semi-custom design services, our refund policy is limited.

Non-Payment and Collections: In the event that an account remains unpaid 90 days after the payment due date, Espresso Yourself reserves the right to submit the outstanding balance to a collections agency. Prior to taking this step, we will make every effort to contact you and resolve the payment issue directly. This action is considered a last resort and is taken only after all other attempts to settle the outstanding amount have failed.

  • Communication Before Action: We understand that financial situations can change. We encourage open communication and will work with you to find a solution before any action is taken. It is crucial to keep us informed of any difficulties in meeting your payment obligations as soon as they arise.
  • Impact of Collections: Be aware that once an account is submitted to collections, it may impact your credit rating. Additionally, you will be responsible for any collections fees, which will be added to your account balance.
