We understand that discussing price adjustments can be challenging in the agency world. However, transparent and early communication can help avoid misunderstandings or dissatisfaction. At StarkSouk, we aim to make our process for price increases clear and open, ensuring both parties are aligned for the successful completion of the project.

1. Clear and Early Communication

Any potential price increase will be communicated to the client as early as possible. We will provide a clear, detailed explanation outlining the reasons for the adjustment, along with an updated project scope and timeline. This ensures transparency and sets accurate expectations.

2. Valid Reasons for a Price Increase

We may consider adjusting the project price under the following circumstances:

• Scope Creep: If the client requests additional tasks, features, or changes beyond the initially agreed-upon project scope.
• Project Delays: If the project is delayed due to factors on the client’s side, such as delays in approvals, content submission, or other dependencies.
• Market-Driven Factors: Significant changes in market conditions, such as increases in operational costs, software licenses, or third-party services that impact the project.
• Excessive Revisions: If the number of revisions requested by the client exceeds the limit set in the initial agreement.

3. Approval Process

Before any price increase is implemented, we will follow this approval process:

• Provide a detailed cost breakdown showing the additional charges.
• Seek written approval from the client before proceeding with any additional work.
• Until approval is received, the project will continue under the terms of the original agreement.

4. Negotiation and Flexibility

We recognize the importance of staying within the client’s budget and are open to discussing adjustments. If needed, we can explore alternative solutions to minimize or avoid the price increase, such as revising the project scope or timeline.

5. Payment Schedule Adjustments

If the price is increased, we will provide an updated payment schedule that reflects the changes. The revised schedule will be shared with the client and must be mutually agreed upon before any additional work begins.

6. Client Understanding and Agreement

We encourage clients to thoroughly review the project scope and expectations before confirming any agreement. This helps avoid unnecessary adjustments and ensures a smoother project execution.
