Escape Speed LLC – Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 5/3/2025
Welcome to Escape Speed LLC. These Terms & Conditions (“T&C”) govern your use of our website and the purchase of our digital art and animation services. By requesting a quote, booking a consultation, or otherwise engaging our services, you agree to these T&C.
1. Services & Deliverables
1.1 Scope: Artist will perform only the services expressly detailed in the written project quote. Any work outside that scope is additional.
1.2 Right to Decline Work: Artist reserves the absolute right to refuse or discontinue any project request at their sole discretion; in such cases any prepaid fees beyond earned work will be refunded.
1.3 Revisions: Each project includes up to two (2) rounds of minor revisions. Requests for additions or changes beyond those two rounds must be submitted in writing and will incur additional fees at $75 per hour or a flat rate as quoted.
1.4 Reference Materials: Client must provide all necessary assets, references, and content prior to work start; delays in providing these materials may extend delivery timelines.
2. Payment Terms
2.1 Consultation Fee: A non‑refundable consultation fee of $ 100 USD is due in full prior to scheduling. Non‑payment will void any booking.
2.2 Deposit: Upon acceptance of the proposal, Client shall pay a non‑refundable deposit equal to 50% of the total quoted project fee. Work does not commence until deposit is received.
2.3 Balance & Final Payment: The remaining balance is due immediately upon Client’s acceptance of deliverables (see Section 6.2). Artist is under no obligation to release source files until full payment is received.
2.4 Late Payments: Any unpaid balance older than seven (7) days past due incurs a late fee of 5% per week, compounded weekly. Artist may suspend work until all outstanding amounts are paid.
2.5 Payment Methods: Venmo, bank transfer, or credit card (via Artist’s online gateway once available). Client is responsible for any transaction fees.
3. Cancellation & Refunds
3.1 Consultation Cancellations: Consultation fees are non‑refundable. If canceled more than 24 hours before the scheduled time, Client may reschedule once without additional charge; otherwise the fee is forfeited.
3.2 Project Cancellations: Client may cancel a booked project up to 48 hours before work begins (i.e., before files are delivered or the first billable work starts) and receive a refund of all amounts paid beyond the deposit. Cancellations after work commencement forfeit the deposit and any other fees already earned.
4. Intellectual Property & Licensing
4.1 Client License: Upon full payment, Client receives a non‑exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use the final deliverables solely for the agreed purposes. Any additional uses require a written license amendment.
4.2 Artist Rights: Artist retains copyright and may showcase deliverables in portfolios, promotions, and social media unless Client provides written notice of confidentiality and executes a formal NDA before work begins.
4.3 Third‑Party Assets: Any third‑party materials used in the project are governed by their respective licenses. Client agrees to comply with those terms and holds Artist harmless for their breach.
7. Hardware & Integration Disclaimer
5. Confidentiality
5.1 Mutual Confidentiality: All project details are confidential. Neither party will disclose proprietary information without prior written consent, except as required by law.
5.2 Data Handling: Artist collects only the personal data necessary to perform services. See Privacy Policy for details.
6. Warranty & Liability
6.1 Performance Warranty: Artist warrants that deliverables will conform to the agreed specifications and free of material defects at delivery.
6.2 Upon delivery of the final video or file sequence, Artist will notify Client that the project is ready for review. Client then has 7 calendar days to confirm acceptance in writing (email is acceptable).
• If Client provides written sign‑off within that window, the work is complete per the agreed scope.
• If Client does not respond within 7 days, the deliverables will be deemed accepted automatically on Day 8, and the project will be closed.
Any requests for changes after formal sign‑off (or deemed acceptance) beyond the two included revision rounds will be treated as new work and billed at $75 per hour (or a flat rate if specified in your quote).
6.3 Limitation of Liability: Artist’s total liability under this agreement for any claim—whether in contract, tort, or otherwise—shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by Client for the specific project. Under no circumstances will Artist be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
Artist provides digital deliverables only. Escape Speed LLC is not responsible for hardware setup, on‑site system integration, or issues arising from third‑party equipment or software.
8. Changes to Services & T&C
8.1 Service Changes: Artist may modify, suspend, or discontinue services or features at any time.
8.2 T&C Updates: Artist may revise these T&C; the updated version will be posted with a new date. Continued use of services after posting constitutes acceptance of the changes.
9. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These T&C are governed by the laws of [Your State/Country]. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of [Your Jurisdiction].
