PART B: CLIENT SERVICE TERMS

7. ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

  • Projects typically begin with a discovery conversation, followed by a written proposal or quote outlining scope, deliverables, timeline, and cost.
  • Work begins once the proposal/SOW is agreed and, where applicable, any required deposit has been received.

8. FEES AND PAYMENT

  • Pricing will be agreed in writing before work begins, via a quote, proposal, or SOW.
  • A deposit may be required before work commences, with the remaining balance due upon completion or according to agreed milestones.
  • Invoices are payable within 7 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed.
  • Late payments may incur a delay to ongoing or future work.

9. REVISIONS

  • Each project includes an agreed number of revision rounds, as specified in the proposal/SOW.
  • Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope may incur extra charges, to be agreed in advance.

10. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

You agree to provide timely feedback, content, access, and any materials reasonably required for us to complete the project. Delays in providing this may affect project timelines.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & OWNERSHIP

  • Upon full payment, ownership of final approved deliverables (e.g. final designs, website files) transfers to the client, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • We retain the right to display completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials, unless the client requests otherwise in writing.
  • Any pre-existing tools, templates, frameworks, or proprietary processes used to deliver the work remain the property of yioti.design.
  • Third-party assets (e.g. stock imagery, fonts, plugins) are subject to their own licensing terms, which the client is responsible for maintaining if required.

12. CANCELLATIONS

  • If a project is cancelled by the client after work has begun, fees for work completed up to that point remain payable.
  • Deposits are generally non-refundable once work has commenced, unless otherwise agreed.

13. CONFIDENTIALITY

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business information shared during the engagement, except where disclosure is required by law.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim arising from services provided is limited to the amount paid for the specific project giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
