The provision of Services by Artrivedi is subject to the following terms:

• No engagement is commenced until a written Proposal has been accepted by the Client and any required advance payment has been received
• Artrivedi reserves the right to decline any project enquiry at its sole discretion, without obligation to provide reasons
• The scope of Services is defined in the agreed Proposal. Any amendments requested after commencement will be subject to a formal change order process and may affect timeline and fees
• Artrivedi will perform Services with reasonable care, skill, and diligence in accordance with professional design industry standards
• Artrivedi may engage sub-contractors in the delivery of Services, subject to maintaining confidentiality and quality standards

The fees for Services are as specified in the relevant Proposal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• Project-based engagements require an advance payment of 50% of the total project fee upon commencement, with the balance due upon delivery of final Deliverables
• Monthly retainer engagements are invoiced in advance at the beginning of each calendar month
• Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date unless an alternative period is agreed in writing

• All fees quoted are exclusive of applicable taxes (GST, VAT, or equivalent) unless expressly stated otherwise
• Artrivedi reserves the right to suspend work on any engagement where payment is overdue by more than 14 days

The ownership and licensing of Intellectual Property Rights in Deliverables are subject to the following:

• Upon receipt of full payment, Artrivedi assigns to the Client all Intellectual Property Rights in the final agreed Deliverables produced specifically for that Client
• Artrivedi retains all Intellectual Property Rights in its pre-existing tools, methodologies, frameworks, templates, processes, and know-how ('Studio IP'), which are not transferred to the Client
• Artrivedi retains the right to display Deliverables in its portfolio and marketing materials unless the Client requests confidentiality in writing at commencement
• Where Artrivedi uses third-party stock assets, typefaces, or licensed elements in Deliverables, the Client is responsible for ensuring appropriate licensing for their intended use
• If a Client-supplied asset or brief infringes any third-party Intellectual Property Rights, the Client indemnifies Artrivedi against all resulting claims, losses, and expenses
• Intellectual Property Rights in Deliverables do not transfer until all outstanding fees have been paid in full

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the other party's Confidential Information and not to disclose it to any third party without prior written consent, except:

• To the extent required by applicable law or regulatory authority
• To professional advisors bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations
• Information that is or becomes publicly available other than through breach of this obligation

Artrivedi is willing to enter into a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to substantive engagement discussions upon the Client's request.

The Client agrees to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely briefing information, feedback, and approvals as required by the project process
• Ensure that any materials, assets, or information supplied to Artrivedi do not infringe any third-party rights
• Assign an appropriate internal point of contact with sufficient authority to provide direction and approvals
• Respond to requests for input or approval within the timeframes agreed in the project plan — delays caused by the Client may result in revised timelines and additional fees

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

• Artrivedi's total liability to the Client for any claim shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for the specific engagement to which the claim relates
• Artrivedi shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages — including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, or reputational damage
• Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation

Either party may terminate a service engagement by giving written notice:

• The Client may terminate at any time in writing. In the event of Client termination, the Client shall pay for all work completed to the date of termination, plus a kill fee equal to 25% of the remaining project fees as compensation for resource allocation and opportunity cost
• Artrivedi may terminate immediately upon written notice if the Client fails to make payment when due, breaches any material provision of these Terms, or becomes insolvent
• Clauses relating to Intellectual Property Rights, Confidentiality, Payment, and Limitation of Liability shall survive the termination of any engagement

These Terms shall be subject to the laws of Gujarat, India. The parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through direct negotiation before initiating formal legal proceedings.

If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days, the parties may agree to submit the matter to mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, disputes shall be referred to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Gujarat, India.

• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with any applicable Proposal, constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the subject matter.
• Variation: No modification to these Terms shall be effective unless agreed in writing and signed by authorised representatives of both parties.
• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
