Pass-through policy
Third-party expenses are passed through at the actual paid cost, with the original receipt attached to the invoice. We do not mark them up.
What this typically covers
- Fonts — commercial license for the final deliverable's distribution scope
- Stock photography, footage, audio
- Plugins, themes, frameworks with commercial licenses
- Voice talent (single-buyout or session rate)
- Cloud rendering time over included hours
Approval gates
- Any material third-party purchase: written approval before purchase
- Any high-value item: written approval and a separate line on the next invoice
- Recurring subscriptions: never paid by us on your behalf — you hold the account
