Payment Terms & Conditions
PAYMENT TERMS: For all services the full fee is due at the time your request is made, prior to the service. Payment must be received before the commencement of your service. Due to the difficulty with debt collection, all payments for services must be tendered in advance.
PAYMENT METHODS: For all services, I accept PayPal, Venmo and Zelle, unless other payment conditions have been negotiated and agreed to in advance. All payment transfers are done through the third-party platforms PAYPAL and VENMO, so please be familiar with the privacy policy and terms of use for these third-party platforms. I am not liable for any mishandling by these third-party platforms.
REFUND POLICY: Literary and educational services by Brennan DeFrisco (DBA Hella Poetry) constitute a professional service and due to the nature of the service and labor involved, all services are non-refundable. However, if no service was performed or the service has been cancelled within the terms and conditions of contracted work prior to its commencement, your fee will be refunded to you in full. All payments are non-refundable in the case of wedding services. If services have been performed on a cancellation outside of the agreed upon contract, hourly labor will be deducted from the refund. Refunds without reasonable cause are not permitted. Claims of artistic quality/merit, personal value, or other subjective complaints do not constitute reasonable cause.
