Monthly Reviews: A monthly review is conducted with the Client to evaluate the collaboration and address any issues. This review includes performance analysis, feedback, and improvement suggestions.
Duration: A 2-week trial period is provided for each engagement.
Conditions: During this period, the Client can evaluate the talent's performance and request a replacement at no additional cost if the talent does not meet expectations.
Replacement and Refund: If a replacement is requested, Wedey commits to providing a new talent within 15 days.
