Kota Media agrees to deliver the requested work in a timely manner and shall conform to the
standards as agreed. Kota Media charges for design work based on time, so any changes to the

In particular cases, where a job / service requires work beyond our normal business hours and
turnaround time, there may be additional fees involved, over and above our standard costs.
The client also understands that work, which is halted after a job has begun, will be billed on
the basis of what has been completed to that time. Where work is performed by other parties as
designated by the client, Kota Media cannot be held liable for their performance, although Kota
Media shall make its best effort to work with these other parties.
