________________________________________
5. PAYMENT

________________________________________
6. PROJECT DEPOSIT, CANCELLATION, AND REFUNDS
The 50% project deposit reserves project time and authorizes OC Site Maker to begin the project.
Once OC Site Maker has begun performing work on the project, the deposit will be retained and applied to the work performed, time reserved, project preparation, scheduling, and other project-related services.
If Client decides after work has begun that Client no longer wants the website or otherwise chooses to discontinue the project, OC Site Maker may retain the deposit.
If additional work or expenses have been incurred beyond the deposit amount, Client may remain responsible for those amounts.
Nothing in this section is intended to waive, restrict, or eliminate any cancellation, refund, rescission, or other right that Client may have under applicable law.
Amounts paid directly to third-party providers, including domain registrars, hosting providers, software providers, plugins, subscriptions, or other third parties, are subject to the refund policies of those providers. OC Site Maker is not responsible for amounts that a third-party provider does not refund.
