Dot The i Project Agreement

Approval of Terms

Approval of the estimate will be deemed as acceptance of these terms of business for providing the services outlined in the estimate. These terms of business supersede and override any other agreements, understandings, or documentation between the parties.

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between DTI Creative Pty Ltd and The Client.

Effective Date

This Agreement becomes effective on the date of signing, formal acknowledgment, or receipt of the first project invoice. In the absence of a signed proposal, the receipt and payment of the first invoice will constitute acknowledgment and acceptance of the terms of this Agreement.

Services

From the effective date of this Agreement, DTI Creative Pty Ltd will provide the services and deliverables as outlined and agreed upon in the proposal.

Commencement of Work

Work will commence only after receipt of the required deposit. The Client agrees to deposit the requested amount before any work begins. Approval will be considered granted upon payment of the deposit and acknowledgment of the Terms and Conditions outlined in the estimate.

The Client is expected to acknowledge and understand the design process involved in the project or request further explanation if required.

Content

The Client will provide all required logos, images, and text in digital format unless otherwise specified or requested by DTI Creative Pty Ltd.

Confidentiality

DTI Creative Pty Ltd agrees not to disclose any confidential information related to The Client, its clients, or associated companies during or after the project, except as required for the performance of services under this Agreement or with prior written consent from The Client.

While DTI Creative Pty Ltd will adhere to this confidentiality clause, The Client must provide a legally binding Confidentiality Agreement if additional guarantees are required. In the absence of such an agreement, DTI Creative Pty Ltd cannot be held accountable for unintentional disclosures.

Design Process

This estimate aims to reflect the true cost of the project; however, unforeseen circumstances may result in additional costs. To mitigate such situations, DTI Creative Pty Ltd will follow strict production processes, including obtaining The Client’s sign-off at key stages.

The Client will be informed of the project’s progress and may request full reporting at any time. Changes to the scope of services or deliverables will be documented in a Change Order and require mutual agreement.

Once design concepts are approved and signed off, subsequent changes will be considered "Author’s Corrections" and billed at the agreed hourly rate.

The Client will have exclusive rights to all approved designs, images, and outputs produced under this Agreement. DTI Creative Pty Ltd assigns to The Client all rights, title, and interest in the copyright of approved materials.

However, this copyright assignment does not extend to designs or proposals not approved by The Client. DTI Creative Pty Ltd retains ownership of native files. After final sign-off, DTI Creative Pty Ltd reserves the right to use approved campaign materials for future promotional purposes (e.g., portfolio, website, social media).

Payment

A 50% deposit of the project fee is required before work begins.

The deposit is non-refundable once work has commenced.

The remaining balance is due upon project completion, before the final delivery of work, or 60 days from the commencement date, whichever comes first.

For projects exceeding four calendar weeks, The Client agrees to monthly invoices based on work completed.

Termination of Agreement

Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other.

If The Client terminates the Agreement, instructions must be provided on whether to complete or return any uncompleted work. If hours of service up to the termination date are equal to or less than those specified in the Agreement, no refund will be due.

If excess hours or expenses have been incurred, DTI Creative Pty Ltd will issue a final invoice for those amounts. If DTI Creative Pty Ltd terminates the Agreement, all uncompleted work will be returned to The Client.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, superseding all previous agreements, whether oral or written.

If additional services are required, both parties agree to execute a new Agreement outlining the updated scope and payment terms. By signing below, both parties affirm that they have read, understood, and agree to the terms of this Agreement.
