Certain deliverables may incorporate licensed stock photography, fonts, illustrations, or other third-party resources. Clients are responsible for obtaining appropriate licenses for commercial use of such resources beyond the scope of delivered materials.

5.1 Pricing and Invoicing

Service pricing is established through project proposals or service agreements. Invoices are issued according to agreed-upon payment schedules, typically structured as:

• 50% upon completion and delivery of final materials

Alternative payment structures may be negotiated for extended engagements or retainer arrangements.

Brandontra accepts payment via bank transfer, credit card, and approved digital payment platforms. Payment processing fees, if applicable, are the responsibility of the client unless otherwise specified.

5.3 Late Payment

Payments are due within 14 days of invoice date unless alternative terms are specified in writing. Late payments may incur a service charge of 1.5% per month on outstanding balances. Brandontra reserves the right to suspend service delivery for accounts with overdue balances exceeding 30 days.

5.4 Project Scope Changes

Requests for modifications to project scope, additional deliverables, or expanded services beyond the original agreement will be documented and priced separately. Such changes require written approval before implementation.

6. Project Timelines and Deliverables

6.1 Timeline Estimates

Project timelines are estimated based on scope, complexity, and client responsiveness. While Brandontra endeavors to meet all agreed deadlines, timelines are contingent upon timely client feedback and approval at designated project milestones.

6.2 Delays Beyond Our Control

Brandontra is not liable for delays resulting from client-side bottlenecks, late feedback, changed requirements, or circumstances beyond reasonable control including but not limited to technical failures, natural disasters, or force majeure events.

6.3 Revision Rounds

Standard projects include two rounds of revisions for major deliverables. Additional revision rounds may be accommodated at an agreed hourly rate. Revisions must be requested within 14 days of deliverable presentation.

7. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure

Brandontra respects client confidentiality and agrees to maintain the confidential nature of proprietary business information, trade secrets, and sensitive data shared during engagements. Confidential information will not be disclosed to third parties without explicit written consent, except where required by law.

Clients similarly agree to maintain confidentiality regarding Brandontra's proprietary methodologies, strategic frameworks, and business processes disclosed during collaboration.

This confidentiality obligation survives termination of the service relationship and remains in effect indefinitely unless information becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party.

8. Limitation of Liability

Brandontra's services are advisory and creative in nature. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, sales results, market performance, or return on investment. Our liability is limited to the total fees paid for services rendered under the specific engagement in question.

Brandontra is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption arising from use or inability to use our deliverables or services.

Clients acknowledge that marketing success depends on numerous factors beyond Brandontra's control, including market conditions, competitive dynamics, execution quality, and business fundamentals.

9. Termination

9.1 Termination by Client

Clients may terminate services with 14 days written notice. Upon termination, clients are responsible for payment of all services rendered up to the termination date, plus any non-refundable expenses incurred on the client's behalf.

9.2 Termination by Brandontra

Brandontra reserves the right to terminate service relationships in cases of non-payment, violation of these Terms, unethical requests, or circumstances that compromise our professional standards or reputation.

9.3 Effects of Termination

Upon termination, Brandontra will deliver all completed work and work-in-progress in its current state. Clients receive rights only to deliverables for which full payment has been made. Brandontra retains all preparatory materials, research, and strategic frameworks.

10. Warranties and Disclaimers

Brandontra warrants that services will be performed with professional skill and care consistent with industry standards. We warrant that deliverables are original works or properly licensed materials.

However, we make no warranties regarding specific outcomes, results, or performance metrics. Services are provided "as is" without warranties of merchantability, fitness for particular purpose, or non-infringement beyond our direct control.

Clients are responsible for ensuring that content, messaging, and materials comply with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards in their jurisdiction and industry.

• Client's violation of applicable laws or regulations
• Claims arising from client's business operations, products, or services

12. Dispute Resolution

In the event of disputes arising from these Terms or service delivery, parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation proves unsuccessful within 30 days, disputes will be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Arbitration will be conducted in Louisville, Kentucky, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party bears its own costs unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action related to these Terms must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson County, Kentucky.

14. Modifications to Terms

Brandontra reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated to active clients with reasonable notice. Continued use of services following notification of changes constitutes acceptance of modified Terms.

Terms in effect at the time of project commencement govern that specific engagement unless explicitly superseded by written agreement.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any executed service agreements or project proposals, constitute the entire agreement between Brandontra and the client regarding services. These Terms supersede all prior discussions, negotiations, and agreements whether written or oral.

17. Assignment

Clients may not assign or transfer rights or obligations under these Terms without Brandontra's prior written consent. Brandontra may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets.

18. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for failure to perform obligations due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental actions, internet failures, or pandemics. Affected obligations are suspended during the force majeure period.
