Each month, the Sender will write the number and type of pieces described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration, each within the agreed word range. The Client provides a brief (topic, audience, keywords, links) for each piece at least 7 days before it is due. Pieces without a brief by the start of the month are not carried over.

The Sender writes and fact-checks every piece personally. Any use of AI tools is limited to research and editing support and follows the Client's policy if one is provided. The Sender will not submit unedited AI-generated text as original work.

Pieces are published under the byline stated in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration. If ghostwritten, the Sender may still include them in a private portfolio shared with prospective clients.

The total fee for this engagement is $2,400.00. The retainer is billed in advance at the start of each month.

A deposit of $720.00 is due before work begins. The remaining balance is due upon completion and delivery of the final work, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Invoices are payable within 7 days of receipt. Late payments may accrue a 1.5% monthly late fee, and work may be paused until outstanding balances are settled.

This engagement includes 2 rounds of revisions on the agreed deliverables. Additional revision rounds, or changes that materially expand the scope described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration, will be quoted separately and require written approval before work begins.

Revision requests should be consolidated and submitted together where possible, to keep the project on schedule.

Upon receipt of full payment, all final deliverables produced under this agreement become the property of the Client, who receives full rights to use, reproduce, and modify them for their intended purpose.

Until full payment is received, all work product remains the property of the Sender. The Sender retains the right to display the work in their portfolio and marketing materials unless the Client requests otherwise in writing.

Any third-party assets used (fonts, stock media, libraries) remain subject to their own original licenses.

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, technical, or financial information shared during this engagement, and to use it only for the purpose of completing the work described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration.

This obligation survives the completion or termination of this agreement and continues for 2 years afterward.

Either party may terminate this agreement with 14 days' written notice. If the Client terminates before completion, the Sender will be paid for all work completed up to the termination date, and the deposit is non-refundable.

If the Sender terminates, any portion of the deposit exceeding the value of work already completed will be refunded to the Client within 14 days.

The Sender is engaged as an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of the Client. The Sender is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and benefits, and is free to accept other engagements during the term of this agreement, provided they do not conflict with the confidentiality obligations above.

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
