The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any engagement will be defined in a separate written proposal, statement of work, or service agreement ("Project Agreement") executed between the parties.

03 Eligibility

Our website and services are intended for users who are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. By using our services, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

04 Client Responsibilities

To enable us to deliver our services effectively, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information, materials, access, and approvals required for the project
• Designate an authorized representative to make decisions and provide feedback on your behalf
• Review and respond to deliverables, drafts, and requests within the timelines agreed upon in the Project Agreement
• Ensure that any content, data, or materials you provide to us do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or applicable laws
• Obtain all necessary licenses, permissions, and consents for materials you supply to us
• Pay all fees as agreed and on time

Delays caused by your failure to meet these responsibilities may result in revised timelines and/or additional fees, which will be communicated to you in advance.

05 Proposals & Project Agreements

All proposals submitted by Two Dog Studios Corporation remain valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. A project commences only upon execution of a signed Project Agreement and receipt of any required deposit.

Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be documented in writing through a Change Order signed by both parties. Additional work outside the agreed scope may be subject to additional fees and timeline adjustments.

Two Dog Studios reserves the right to decline any project or engagement at its sole discretion, including after initial discussions.

06 Payment Terms

Payment terms, amounts, and schedules will be specified in each Project Agreement. General terms include:

• Deposit: A non-refundable deposit (typically 30–50% of the total project fee) is required before work commences, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Milestone Payments: Remaining fees are typically structured around project milestones as defined in the Project Agreement.
• Late Payments: Invoices are due within 14 calendar days of issue unless otherwise agreed. Overdue invoices may accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
• Suspension of Work: We reserve the right to suspend work on a project if payments are overdue by more than 14 days, without liability to you for any resulting delays.
• Taxes: All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes (including sales tax, VAT, or GST), which are your responsibility to pay.

All payments must be made in US Dollars (USD) unless otherwise agreed in writing.

07 Intellectual Property

7.1 Work Product Ownership

Upon receipt of full payment for a project, and unless otherwise specified in the Project Agreement, Two Dog Studios Corporation assigns to you all right, title, and interest in the final deliverables created specifically for your project ("Work Product"), including any applicable copyrights.

7.2 Pre-Existing Materials & Tools

Two Dog Studios retains all rights to its pre-existing intellectual property, including but not limited to proprietary code libraries, frameworks, tools, templates, methodologies, know-how, and processes ("Studio IP") used in connection with delivering your project. To the extent Studio IP is incorporated into your deliverables, we grant you a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use such Studio IP solely as part of the delivered Work Product.

7.3 Client-Provided Materials

You retain all rights to content, data, trademarks, logos, and other materials you provide to us. You grant Two Dog Studios a limited license to use such materials solely for the purpose of completing your project.

7.4 Portfolio Rights

Unless you request otherwise in writing prior to project completion, Two Dog Studios reserves the right to display completed work in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials. We will not disclose confidential project details without your written consent.

7.5 Website Content

All content on the Two Dog Studios Corporation website — including text, graphics, logos, images, and software — is the property of Two Dog Studios Corporation and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our website content without our express written permission.

08 Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public, proprietary, or sensitive information disclosed during the course of the engagement ("Confidential Information"). Neither party shall disclose the other's Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent, except as required by law or to fulfill obligations under the Project Agreement.

This confidentiality obligation survives the termination of any Project Agreement or these Terms for a period of three (3) years, unless a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement specifies otherwise.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act; (b) was rightfully known before disclosure; (c) is independently developed without reference to the Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or court order.

10 Third-Party Services

In delivering our services, we may recommend, integrate, or utilize third-party software, platforms, APIs, or services (e.g., cloud providers, payment processors, analytics tools). We are not responsible for the terms, privacy practices, availability, or performance of any third-party services.

Where third-party services are used in your project, you are responsible for reviewing and complying with the applicable third-party terms of service. Any fees for third-party services are your responsibility unless expressly included in the Project Agreement.

11 Disclaimers

Our website and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Two Dog Studios Corporation does not warrant that:

• Our website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure at all times
• Any specific business results, revenues, or outcomes will be achieved through use of our services
• Defects in the website or deliverables will be corrected (outside of agreed warranty periods in a Project Agreement)

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you to the full extent permitted by law.

12 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Two Dog Studios Corporation, its officers, directors, employees, partners, or agents be liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• Loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, or goodwill
• Damages arising from your use of or inability to use our website or services

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to Two Dog Studios Corporation in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations apply regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

13 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Two Dog Studios Corporation and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

• Your use of our website or services
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights
• Any content or materials you provide to us that cause harm to a third party

14 Termination

14.1 Termination by Client

You may terminate a Project Agreement in accordance with the termination provisions set out in that agreement. Unless otherwise stated, termination notices must be provided in writing with a minimum of 14 days' notice. You will remain liable for all fees for work completed and expenses incurred up to the date of termination, plus any applicable kill fees as specified in the Project Agreement.

14.2 Termination by Two Dog Studios

We may terminate or suspend your access to our services or website immediately, without notice or liability, if you breach any provision of these Terms or any Project Agreement, or if we are required to do so by law.

14.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination: (a) all outstanding fees become immediately due and payable; (b) each party shall return or destroy the other's Confidential Information; (c) provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) shall continue to apply.

15 Dispute Resolution

We encourage you to contact us first at enquiry@twodogstudioscorporation.com to resolve any dispute informally. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and amicably.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, with the arbitration conducted in San Francisco, California. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. Each party shall bear its own costs unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.

Class Action Waiver: You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you waive any right to a jury trial.

16 Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or related to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent court proceedings are permitted under these Terms, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.

17 Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

Changes will not apply retroactively to any Project Agreement already in effect at the time of the change.
