Eduardo Limon, as any other business has working days and hours, this excludes bank holidays, weekends and public French holidays such as Christmas. Any time-off taken (as holidays) will be clearly informed to The Client. The time-off can be as long as 5 consecutive days not counting weekends. When the time-off is beyond that time frame, Eduardo Limón and The Client, upon negotiation will determine the proper retribution from Eduardo Limon to The Client for that period of time. The Client will be informed of the time-off 2 weeks before, so the work schedule is not compromised.

We have other clients booked in that have paid for our time and their spot in the queue and we will need to be financially compensated for working overtime.

Any requests for work to be expedited before the earliest calendar start date (defined by any project or work requiring me to work after regular business hours, weekends and/or on French national holidays or know vacation times) will incur an additional 20% fee of the subscription plan.

 

Approval of Final Work
