The initial 50% fee is non refundable, unless the customer requests to cancel services within 48 hours of placing an order.

2. Provision of Services
DeskTopWorks will provide Customer with the Services ordered that are described in the order summary. Customer understands and agrees that DeskTopWorks will publish the website solely in accordance with the information provided by Customer in written form and telephone interview. After DeskTopWorks receives all complete information from the customer, DeskTopWorks will deliver a complete website under ten (10) pages within three weeks (15 business days), and an e-commerce site within four weeks (20 business days). Customer gives DeskTopWorks artistic freedom in the development of the website.
