Deposits and project start
Most projects require an upfront payment before work begins. This secures scheduling, planning time, and early production work such as research, discovery, wireframes, strategy, or concept development.
This page sets expectations for deposits, milestone payments, feedback, cancellations, and what happens if a project changes after work begins.

Most projects require an upfront payment before work begins. This secures scheduling, planning time, and early production work such as research, discovery, wireframes, strategy, or concept development.
Larger projects may be billed in milestones. Final files, launch access, or handoff materials may be released after all agreed payments for the approved scope are complete.
Project pricing normally includes the revision rounds or deliverables described in the quote. New requests outside the approved scope, extra pages, additional concepts, heavy rework, or late-stage changes may require a revised quote, a timeline extension, or both.
If a client cancels a project after work has started, payments already made are generally non-refundable to the extent they cover time reserved, completed work, research, setup, concept development, or administrative effort already delivered.
If a project is paused for an extended period because feedback, content, approvals, or required access are delayed, Kumtech Gateway may reschedule the remaining work and revise the delivery timeline.
Post-launch support depends on the package, written agreement, or maintenance arrangement. Small fixes immediately after handoff may be addressed within the agreed delivery window, while larger future updates may require a new scope.
Need clarification first?
If you want a project explained in plain language before paying, contact Kumtech Gateway and ask for the scope, revision count, timeline, and payment structure in writing.
