- The Consultant: “Studio3 Design & Art Consultant” or “Aamir Rizvi – Graphic Designer” (represented by The Sales Department or Aamir Rizvi).

Scope of Work and Deliverables
The Consultant agrees to execute the project through the following stages. These stages may vary based on the project requirements and are dictated mainly by the quotation:

| B. Initial/Low Fidelity Design Stage | Development of preliminary design proposals/minimal viable product/wireframes based on the detailed requirements provided by the Client at the Discovery Stage. At this stage, we try to figure out the best possible route to solve the problems more flexibly, using the least time and resources. |

Refund Policy
All fees paid to The Consultant, including the Advance Fees and subsequent instalments, are non-refundable under any circumstances, reflecting the immediate investment of time, resources, and intellectual property.
Late Payments and Penalty
The Consultant must be formally notified if the Client requires a delay in payment.
A maximum delay of one (1) month from the due date may be permitted only for a valid and genuine reason, as determined by the Consultant.
If payment is not received after the allowed grace period, the outstanding amount will incur a penalty of 10% of the total design fee for each subsequent 15-day period of delayed payment.
General Terms & Conditions
Additional Services
Any requests made by the Client for services or revisions that fall outside the initially defined Scope of Work shall be considered Additional Services and will be charged separately based on the Consultant’s standard or special hourly or project rates.
Execution Liability
The Consultant’s responsibility is limited exclusively to the file versions released at the time of project delivery as defined in the Quote. The Consultant explicitly confirms that they are not responsible for any execution/print/development of the tempered version of the delivered files.
Project Halt or Termination
A formal memorandum signed by both parties must be prepared to document the pause, establish a resume date, and detail all necessary financial and contractual implications.
If the Client terminates the project, they are bound to formally notify the Consultant and pay the full amount due for all design stages that have been completed up to the date of termination.
Upon abrupt project termination, the Consultant reserves the right to deduct a 20% Project Termination Fee from the total Project Quoted amount.
Should the Client terminate the project mid-session and fail to pay all outstanding dues, the Consultant reserves the right to pursue full legal action against the Client to recover the entire unpaid balance.
