Terms and Conditions

Unless the SOW says otherwise: fees are in Singapore Dollars, a 50 percent deposit is due before work commences, milestone invoices are payable within 14 days, and out-of-pocket expenses (third-party fonts, stock, paid APIs, hosting) are billed at cost with prior approval. Overdue invoices accrue interest at 1.5 percent per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower. We may suspend work on accounts that are overdue by more than 14 days after written notice. GST is applied where required.

On full payment of all fees under an SOW, the Studio assigns to the Client all right, title, and interest in the final deliverables specifically created for that engagement.

The Studio retains ownership of, and a perpetual licence to reuse, its pre-existing tools, frameworks, libraries, components, shaders, and general know-how. These are licensed to the Client perpetually, royalty-free, as embedded in the deliverables. Third-party assets (fonts, stock, open-source libraries) remain governed by their original licences.

Unless the SOW imposes a non-disclosure agreement, the Studio may showcase the deliverables in its portfolio and case studies, including screenshots, recordings, and a brief description. Confidential commercial information is never disclosed.

Each party keeps the other's confidential information confidential, uses it only for the engagement, and protects it with the same care it applies to its own. This survives termination by three years. It does not cover information that is public, already known without obligation, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.

The Studio performs services with reasonable care and skill consistent with industry standards. The Studio does not warrant that deliverables will be error-free or that they will produce any specific business outcome (traffic, ranking, conversion, revenue). Implied warranties are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Studio's total aggregate liability for an engagement is capped at the fees paid under the relevant SOW in the twelve months preceding the claim. The Studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or data. Nothing limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Either party may terminate an engagement on 14 days' written notice for convenience. The Client pays for work performed up to the termination date and any non-cancellable third-party costs already committed. Either party may terminate immediately for a material breach not cured within 30 days of written notice, or on the insolvency of the other. Sections on intellectual property, confidentiality, liability, and governing law survive termination. A delay or failure caused by an event beyond a party's reasonable control (force majeure) does not constitute breach.

These terms and each engagement are governed by the laws of Singapore. Any dispute is first addressed by good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, it is referred to and finally settled by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in accordance with its rules. The seat is Singapore, the tribunal consists of one arbitrator, and the language is English.
