A detailed Media Plan (Exhibit A) will be attached to this contract, specifying the amount of media content (e.g., photos, videos, social media posts) that will be created and delivered each month. The Media Plan will be agreed upon by both the Client and Adventuring Duo prior to the start of services.

5. Termination and Refund Policy

  • Client Termination: If the Client wishes to terminate this agreement before the completion of the 6-month term, they must provide a written notice 30 days in advance. In the event of termination, Adventuring Duo will return 50% of the remaining retainer based on the unused months. The calculation for the refund will be as follows:

Remaining Retainer=(Monthly Retainer Price2)×(Months Remaining)\text{Remaining Retainer} = \left( \frac{\text{Monthly Retainer Price}}{2} \right) \times \left( \text{Months Remaining} \right)Remaining Retainer=(2Monthly Retainer Price​)×(Months Remaining)

Example: If the Client cancels in month 4, with a monthly price of $1,000, the refund will be 50% of the 2 remaining months:

Refund=0.5×(1,000×2)=1,000\text{Refund} = 0.5 \times (1,000 \times 2) = 1,000Refund=0.5×(1,000×2)=1,000
