Quotes. For commission work quotes are valid for 28 days after the date of issue. If extra services, detail or any additions to the work are requested either prior to the commencement of work or once work has started, these costs will be mutually agreed and added to the original quote.

​

Deposits and Payments for Commissions. Elaine's Calligraphy requires a 25% non refundable deposit before work will begin on your order. At the time of ordering we will agree a time frame for completion with you. The final balance for the work must be made on completion and prior to collection or shipping.
