Please note that Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC requires all calls to be scheduled. If you would like to schedule a phone or Zoom meeting please let us know. See “What’s Included” section above to see how many calls are part of your Payment Amount. Any additional calls beyond what’s included will be billed at an hourly consultation fee of $300 and beyond the Payment Amount.
REQUESTS
All requests regarding this project must be received via email sent to lexi@lexidangelo.com or via project management software (if we’ve decided to work together that way).
Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC does not accept requests via phone, Facebook, tweets, or other forms of communication.
ACCEPTANCE OF PROJECTS
All requests for new projects or additions to projects after the start date are subject to approval by Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC and our availability. This contract in no way obligates Alexis D’Angelo or Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC (or its contractors and employees) to accept a request. If Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC is unable to take on a request, we will refer you to another designer/developer who will have their own contract and policies for you to sign.
IMAGES, PHOTOGRAPHS, COPY
You will supply all brand images, photography, and copy within 10 days of your project start date. Please share via GoogleDrive to lexi@lexidangelo.com.
You should supply photographs in a high-resolution format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that because it is not included in the Payment Amount.
Website copy is NOT included in this package. It is up to you to write your own copy and provide ALL completed copy 10 days prior to the start date of your project. No changes to your website copy can be made after submission. If final copy is not provided, we will use placeholder text and it will be your responsibility to change the copy yourself after the completion of the project.
REVISIONS
Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC cannot guarantee with 100% certainty that its work will be error-free so you will have one opportunity to review our work and make changes to the completed theme presented to you. These changes can only fix any errors and/or make the branding and design match your vision more closely if we missed something.
If additional revisions are necessary, they can be added as an additional project after the original design is completed and will cost extra.
OUTSIDE HELP
Sometimes an unforeseen issue creeps up, and it’s outside of Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC’s abilities to handle it effectively. Because of this, Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC may (on occasion) hire a subcontractor who can help with the problem, since hiring someone who is an expert in a particular field is far more efficient than Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC trying to learn it on your dime. Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC reserves the right to do this when it’s necessary, and the subcontractor’s rights and liabilities will match this agreement.
ONGOING SUPPORT
After the project’s completion, no additional support will be provided.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC is not responsible for any problems that may arise from lost or corrupted files or websites after they have been sent to the client. Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC is not responsible for saving any client design files past the project completion date. Please make sure that you’ve securely saved your design files in multiple places—your hard drive, external hard drive, and cloud software are recommended. Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC is also not responsible for maintaining your website or for anything that may happen to your website after the project completion. Please make sure that you are backing up your website files on a consistent basis.
MAINTENANCE
No maintenance is included in this contract.
EMERGENCIES AND RUSH REQUESTS
This contract does not cover emergency work. Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC can perform “rush” projects (subject to availability and approval) at an additional fee, but please understand Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC is not “on call” and all requests, no matter how urgent, are subject to approval and scheduling during normal work hours.
Please send all rush inquires to lexi@lexidangelo.com with “RUSH REQUEST” in the subject line and we will respond as soon as possible during normal work hours.
Please do not call, tweet, Facebook message, post on our Facebook wall, or otherwise try to increase response time to your request. Doing so may result in termination of our working relationship.
ADDITIONAL EXPENSES
Sometimes you might want to add things on to your project that weren’t included in this original agreement or Payment Amount. That’s totally fine, but you must agree to reimburse Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC for any additional expenses necessary for the completion of the additional request. Examples include but aren’t limited to:
Purchase of specific photography at your request.
Additional graphics and design to the project scope.
Additional calls and consultation through email or social media.
COPYRIGHTS
Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC reserves the right to reuse and re-license portions of what it’s done for you, as long as these portions are general solutions to common problems (and not specific to your project). Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC will also retain ownership of all intangibles: knowledge about solutions to problems, methods and/or designs used in the project.
Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC loves to show off its work and share what it has learned with other people, so it reserves the right to display and link to your project as part of its portfolio and to write about it on websites, in magazine articles, and in books.
PAYMENTS AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE
We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay the invoices that Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC sends you promptly.
100% of additional expenses must be paid in full at the time of project completion. This would be anything extra you added on in addition to the remaining project total.
All invoices will be sent via email. You’ll complete payment for any invoices Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC sends you within 7 days from the date of the invoice. Payments may be made via PayPal, Stripe or credit card only. If payment is late, a late fee of $150 will be added to the invoice, and no further services will be provided until the invoice (and late fee) is paid in full.
HOURLY RATES
If unforeseen issues pop up and extra work needs to be done, the hourly rate is $150 per hour, billed in 30-minute increments. Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC will keep track of any time spent and provide you with that accounting along with the invoice you’ll get. We won’t blindside you with hourly fees – we’ll be sure to discuss (and agree to) these issues and solutions before the work is done and this pops up on your bill.
A caveat: any request for work to be completed with less than 24-hour notice before the deadline will be billed at the rush rate which is double the hourly rate ($300 per hour).
CANCELLATIONS.
Sometimes things just simply don’t go the way we expect them to. If at some point either of us decides our working relationship is failing, then we can submit the desire to part ways in writing and payment for all work completed at that point will be due. Deposits are non-refundable and will not be returned. All fees for the Services are non-refundable. In the event Client or Company terminates this agreement, Client agrees to pay Company for the services performed, in addition to any expenses incurred by Company for Client, as of the date of termination. The amount due for Company’s services will be the greater of (a) the deposit or first payment, (b) a prorated portion of the total fees due, or (c) hourly fees at $150 per hour for work performed by Company as of the date of termination. Upon payment of the full amount as calculated above for Provider’s services and expenses, Provider grants Client a perpetual non-exclusive license of all rights (including, but not limited to, the right to display, modify, transmit, transfer, sell, and create derivative works) to any work delivered to Client as of the date of termination, including for use in a trade or service mark.
In the event Client terminates the Project before payment of the entire Project price in the above paragraph, Client also agrees to pay Company a Kill Fee of $1,000 to account for the fact that Provider has blocked out time in its calendar for Client’s Project and has not been able to take on other clients or projects during that time.
DELAYS AND INACTIVITY
Please note that any extra work requested may push back your deadline date, or may not be finished by the deadline date set.
Any delays that are your fault – including failure to provide approvals, feedback, materials or payment according to our agreed-upon schedule – will allow Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC to suspend or cancel the project, extend the deadline date, and/or require extra fees based on hourly rates and availability. Responses to emails, Voxer, and/or Slack communication during your project are required within 24 business hours.
Any delays on our agreed upon dates will add a Delay Fee of $500 to your invoice, and if Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC doesn’t hear from you in 5 days, your Project will be canceled, removed from our schedule, and will incur the fees referred to in the Cancellations section. Rescheduling and payment of the Delay Fee will be required for work to pick up again, and the scheduled dates of the project will be based on Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC’s availability.
Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC promises to not hold up the timeline and to keep the project moving to the best of its ability. Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC won’t charge you if any delays are its fault, and we will do our best to prevent delays.

Your Pre-Website Party Schedule
Step 1: Book your Website Party Week and schedule your Brand Identity + Website Call with the help of your personal Party Planner
Step 2: Check out the themes and choose one.
Step 3: Fill out the Brand Identity + Website Questionnaire (it will ask q’s about your website goals + desires, as well as ask q’s about what you want to customize from the theme—this is where you’ll be able to check off any “add-ons” you want—any add-ons will be added to your final invoice) + Complete Pinspiration Party (helps us get 100% clear on your vision for the branding and design)
Step 4: Brand Identity + Website Strategy Call (we’ll go over the questionnaire you filled out so we’re both 100% clear on the vision and from there, we will chat about any custom add-ons, etc.)

LEGAL STUFF & FINE PRINT
Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC dba Brand Party is a separate entity from the owner, Alexis D’Angelo. That means that Alexis D’Angelo is not personally liable to you for anything, period.
Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free because we are human and sometimes make mistakes which is why you get the opportunity to review the work we have done for you and to make corrections before completion. Because we’re not perfect and we are working with information you provide to us, Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them. If you’ve represented yourself or any items you provide to Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC or us erroneously (either purposefully or not), you agree to indemnify and hold Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC harmless from any and all legal proceedings, judgments or awards that may result from such errors.
Nothing in this agreement will keep Lexi D’Angelo Coaching LLC from working for, or from taking on, any other client, even if that client is in competition with you.
Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable or separate from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the agreement.
If we ever find a point in our working relationship where we simply cannot agree on something, we will make attempts to resolve this disagreement informally and in good faith, and part as friends. If that doesn’t work out, we’ll agree to bring in a third party for mediation (and ultimately arbitration if mediation doesn’t work) to sort out the problem, because the very last thing anyone wants to do is go to court. We’ll divide the cost for the mediator and/or arbitration equally between us, and the arbitration will take place in Boston, Massachusetts.
