2.2 Service Scope
Each engagement is tailored to the specific needs of the Client. The exact scope, timeline, deliverables, and milestones will be defined in a Statement of Work, proposal, or service agreement.
Engagement & Project Agreements
All client engagements are formalized through a written agreement, proposal, or Statement of Work. No work will begin until a project agreement has been accepted and the required deposit has been received.
3.1 Project Kickoff
After agreement execution and deposit payment, Brandvanta Dynamics will schedule a kickoff process to align on objectives, timeline, deliverables, communication flow, and review structure.
3.2 Timelines
Project timelines are estimates based on the agreed scope and assume timely cooperation from the Client, including approvals, content submission, references, and review feedback. Timelines may shift if the project scope changes, approvals are delayed, or additional revision rounds are requested.
3.3 Hold Policy
If a project is paused by the Client for more than 30 consecutive calendar days, we reserve the right to apply a restart fee, re-queue the project, and adjust delivery dates. Projects inactive for more than 90 days may be treated as abandoned.
Payment Terms & Fees
All fees are outlined in the applicable proposal or Statement of Work and are quoted in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated in writing.
4.1 Standard Payment Structure
- Projects under $5,000: 100% due upfront before project commencement.
- Projects from $5,000 to $15,000: 50% upfront, 50% before final delivery.
- Projects above $15,000: milestone-based split as defined in the project agreement.
4.2 Invoice Terms
Invoices are payable within fourteen (14) calendar days unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to suspend work on any overdue account.
4.3 Late Payments
Outstanding balances may incur a late fee of 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. The Client agrees to cover reasonable collection costs if recovery action becomes necessary.
4.4 Expenses & Taxes
Unless explicitly included, third-party costs such as fonts, stock assets, specialty software, printing, travel, or licensing fees are billed separately. Applicable taxes remain the responsibility of the Client.
Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual property provisions govern ownership, licensing, usage, and transfer of creative assets developed during the project.
5.1 Final Deliverables
Upon full payment, Brandvanta Dynamics assigns to the Client all right, title, and interest in the final approved deliverables created specifically for that project, subject to any third-party license limitations.
5.2 Reserved Rights
We retain ownership of preliminary concepts, unused design routes, internal frameworks, methods, templates, tools, and pre-existing intellectual property. We also reserve the right to display final work in our portfolio unless a written confidentiality restriction applies.
5.3 Third-Party Assets
If deliverables include fonts, stock imagery, icons, plug-ins, or other third-party assets, those components remain governed by their own license terms. The Client is responsible for maintaining any required commercial usage rights.
Confidentiality
Each party may receive confidential, proprietary, or commercially sensitive information during the course of the engagement. Both parties agree to protect such information with reasonable care and use it only to fulfill project-related obligations.
6.1 Scope of Confidential Information
Confidential Information includes internal strategies, client lists, product plans, launch data, unreleased assets, credentials, financial details, and non-public materials disclosed verbally, visually, digitally, or in writing.
6.2 Exceptions
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that becomes public without breach, was already lawfully known, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law.
6.3 Duration
Unless otherwise required by law or contract, confidentiality obligations survive for three (3) years after the end of the engagement.
Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to actively support the engagement and provide timely collaboration necessary to keep the project moving.
- Provide accurate materials, context, brand references, and business information required for the work.
- Assign a primary point of contact authorized to approve feedback and decisions.
- Review deliverables and provide consolidated feedback within agreed timelines.
- Ensure all submitted text, imagery, trademarks, and materials are lawfully owned or licensed.
- Meet payment obligations according to the agreed schedule.
- Communicate project changes, blockers, or internal approval delays as early as possible.
We are not responsible for delays, misalignment, or quality issues caused by incomplete briefs, missing assets, inconsistent feedback, or Client-side approval bottlenecks.
Revisions & Scope Changes
Creative work is iterative, but revision rounds and change requests must stay within the agreed production framework.
8.1 Included Revisions
Each proposal or Statement of Work specifies how many revision rounds are included. A revision means refinement of an approved direction, not the creation of a brand-new route.
8.2 Additional Revisions
Revision rounds beyond the agreed number may be billed at our current hourly rate or under a separately approved add-on estimate.
8.3 Scope Changes
Any request that materially expands the original scope, such as new deliverables, extra formats, strategic pivots, or new phases of work, will be treated as a scope change and quoted separately before work proceeds.
Warranties & Disclaimers
9.1 Professional Standard
Brandvanta Dynamics warrants that services will be performed in a professional manner consistent with accepted industry standards.
9.2 No Guaranteed Business Outcome
We do not guarantee any specific commercial result, including revenue growth, conversion lift, market adoption, acquisition outcome, or audience response. Branding effectiveness depends on multiple variables outside our control.
9.3 “As Is” Limitation
Except where expressly stated, all services and deliverables are provided on an “as is” basis without implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted business performance.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Brandvanta Dynamics shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, or special damages, including loss of revenue, profits, data, goodwill, or opportunity, arising from or related to the services or these Terms.
Our aggregate liability in connection with any claim related to a specific engagement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client to Brandvanta Dynamics for that engagement during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
Termination
11.1 Termination by Client
The Client may terminate an engagement by written notice. In that event, the Client remains responsible for payment for all completed work, time allocated, and approved expenses incurred through the effective termination date.
11.2 Termination by Brandvanta
We may terminate an engagement if the Client materially breaches these Terms, fails to make payment, engages in unlawful or abusive conduct, or otherwise prevents reasonable project completion.
11.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination, rights and obligations relating to payments due, confidentiality, liability limitations, dispute procedures, and ownership of paid deliverables survive as applicable.
Dispute Resolution
12.1 Good Faith Negotiation
The parties agree to first attempt to resolve disputes through direct, good-faith negotiation before initiating formal proceedings.
12.2 Mediation
If the dispute is not resolved informally, either party may request mediation conducted in Colorado or virtually, with costs shared equally unless otherwise agreed.
12.3 Arbitration
If mediation fails, disputes may be resolved by binding arbitration administered under applicable commercial arbitration rules.
12.4 Individual Basis Only
Any claim must be brought on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
Governing Law
These Terms and all related project agreements are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue for any permitted court proceeding shall be in the appropriate courts serving Douglas County or Arapahoe County, Colorado.
Changes to Terms
Brandvanta Dynamics reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Material updates will be reflected by changing the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, active clients may be notified directly.
Continued use of our website or services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those changes.
