These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.

You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them.

23. REFUNDS, PAYMENT AND FEES
The Client agrees that all fees, deposits, and payments made to the Company are final and non-refundable, except where required by applicable law. Work shall not commence until the agreed upfront payment has been received in full. Upon commencement of services, the Client acknowledges that the Company allocates time, resources, and personnel specifically to the Client's project, thereby rendering such payments non-recoverable.
In the event of non-payment, late payment, or chargeback attempts, the Company reserves the right to immediately suspend all services, revoke access to deliverables, and pursue recovery of outstanding amounts through legal or third-party collection methods. The Client shall be responsible for any additional costs incurred in the recovery of unpaid fees, including administrative and legal expenses.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all invoices are due upon receipt. Failure to make payment within the specified timeframe may result in the application of statutory interest and compensation in accordance with applicable UK regulations.
24. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work shall be strictly limited to the services, deliverables, and specifications explicitly outlined in the agreed proposal, statement of work, or written agreement. Any request by the Client that extends beyond this defined scope, including but not limited to additional features, modifications, integrations, or redesigns, shall constitute a variation of scope.
The Company reserves the sole discretion to determine whether a request falls outside the agreed scope. All out-of-scope work shall be subject to additional fees, revised timelines, and written approval by both parties prior to commencement.
The Company shall not be obligated to proceed with any additional work until such variations are formally agreed upon. Any delays resulting from scope changes, unclear instructions, or repeated alterations requested by the Client may result in adjustments to delivery timelines and additional charges.
25. REVISIONS
The Client shall be entitled to a fixed number of revision rounds as specified in the agreed terms, if any. A revision round is defined as a consolidated set of requested changes submitted by the Client at one time. Requests submitted incrementally or outside of agreed review stages may be treated as separate revision rounds.
Any revisions requested beyond the allocated number shall be subject to additional fees at the Company's prevailing rates. The Company reserves the right to decline excessive or unreasonable revision requests that materially alter the original agreed scope.
Upon delivery of any milestone or final work, the Client shall review and either approve or request revisions within a reasonable timeframe. Failure to respond within 3 days shall constitute deemed acceptance of the work as delivered. Once approved, either explicitly or by inaction, the deliverable shall be considered final, and further changes will be treated as new work.
26. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND USAGE RIGHTS
All intellectual property rights, including but not limited to designs, code, assets, concepts, and deliverables created by the Company, shall remain the sole property of the Company until full payment of all outstanding fees has been received.
Upon receipt of full and cleared payment, the Client shall be granted a non-exclusive or exclusive licence (as specified in writing) to use the final deliverables for their intended purpose. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, the Company retains the right to reuse, display, modify, and repurpose any non-confidential elements of the work for portfolio, marketing, or commercial purposes.
The Client shall not reproduce, distribute, modify, or exploit any deliverables prior to full payment. Any unauthorised use of the Company's work shall constitute a material breach of this agreement and may result in legal action.
27. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company's total liability arising out of or in connection with the provision of services shall be strictly limited to the total amount paid by the Client for the specific services giving rise to the claim.
The Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, or reputational harm, whether arising in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The Client acknowledges that digital products and services may be subject to unforeseen issues, including third-party failures, platform limitations, or technical disruptions, and agrees that the Company shall not be held responsible for such factors beyond its reasonable control.
28. TERMINATION, SUSPENSION AND KILL FEE
The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate services at any time, with or without prior notice, where the Client is in breach of any term of this agreement, including but not limited to non-payment, abusive conduct, or failure to provide required information or cooperation.
The Client may terminate the project at any time by providing written notice; however, in such cases, the Client agrees to pay for all work completed up to the date of termination, including a termination fee of no less than 50% of the remaining project value to account for lost scheduling, opportunity cost, and allocated resources.
Upon termination, all licences granted to the Client shall immediately cease unless full payment has been made. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver incomplete work or provide further services until all outstanding fees have been settled in full.
29. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND COOPERATION
The Client agrees to provide all necessary materials, information, access credentials, approvals, and feedback required for the completion of the project in a timely and accurate manner. The Client warrants that any content or materials supplied do not infringe upon the rights of any third party.
The Company shall not be responsible for delays, defects, or additional costs arising from incomplete, inaccurate, or late provision of required inputs by the Client. Where the Client fails to provide necessary cooperation, the Company reserves the right to adjust project timelines, reallocate resources, or place the project on hold.
Any additional work required due to incorrect, revised, or delayed Client-provided materials shall be subject to additional fees at the Company's standard rates.
30. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND INTEGRATIONS
The Client acknowledges that the project may involve the use of third-party services, platforms, software, or tools, including but not limited to hosting providers, payment processors, APIs, or content management systems.
The Company shall not be liable for the performance, availability, security, or functionality of any third-party services, including any changes, interruptions, or discontinuations made by such providers.
The Client agrees that any fees, terms, or obligations associated with third-party services are the sole responsibility of the Client unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The Company does not guarantee the continued compatibility or operation of integrations where third-party services are updated, deprecated, or modified beyond the Company's control.
31. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE
Both parties agree to treat all confidential information disclosed during the course of the project as strictly confidential and shall not disclose such information to any third party without prior written consent, except where required by law.
Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, business plans, technical data, pricing, strategies, proprietary processes, and any non-public information clearly identified as confidential or reasonably understood to be confidential.
This obligation shall survive the termination or completion of the agreement. The receiving party agrees to take all reasonable measures to protect such information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.
32. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom.
In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good faith negotiations. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
The Client agrees that any claim must be brought within a reasonable time and that failure to do so may result in the claim being barred to the fullest extent permitted by law.
33. CHARGEBACK AND PAYMENT DISPUTE POLICY
By engaging the Company's Services and submitting payment, the Client expressly waives any right to initiate a chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute through any payment provider, bank, or financial institution in connection with amounts paid for services rendered or in progress, except where expressly required by applicable law.
In the event that the Client initiates a chargeback or payment dispute, the following consequences shall apply immediately and without notice:
• Immediate suspension of all services, access to deliverables, source files, and project assets.
• Forfeiture of all work completed to date, including any partially delivered assets, code, or designs.
• The full disputed amount plus an administrative fee of 20% of the total project value shall become immediately due and payable as a debt.
• The Company reserves the right to pursue recovery of all outstanding sums, legal costs, and consequential losses through civil court proceedings, debt collection agencies, or any other lawful means.
• Any chargeback filed in bad faith, where services were rendered and/or deliverables were provided, may be reported to relevant authorities and credit reference agencies where permitted by law.
The Client acknowledges that the Company maintains detailed records of all communications, deliveries, approvals, and payment confirmations, and that such records shall be submitted as evidence in any chargeback investigation or legal proceeding. The Client agrees to cooperate fully with any such investigation and to withdraw any chargeback filed in error or bad faith within 48 hours of notification by the Company. Nothing in this clause limits the Company's right to pursue additional remedies available under applicable UK law.
34. NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION
The Client acknowledges that the Company's staff, contractors, developers, artists, and other personnel (collectively, 'Personnel') are a core and proprietary asset of the Company. Accordingly, the Client agrees to the following restrictions:
• Non-Solicitation. The Client shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit, hire, engage, or attempt to engage any Personnel of the Company for any purpose, whether as an employee, freelancer, contractor, or otherwise, during the term of any active project and for a period of 24 months following the conclusion or termination of any engagement with the Company.
• Non-Circumvention. The Client shall not attempt to bypass, circumvent, or sidestep the Company in order to work directly with any Personnel introduced to the Client through or during the Company's engagement. This includes approaching Personnel through social media, LinkedIn, Discord, or any other platform.
• No Interference. The Client shall not take any action that would interfere with, damage, or disrupt the Company's relationships with its Personnel, partners, or subcontractors.
In the event of a breach of this clause, the Client agrees to pay the Company a liquidated damages fee of 5,000 GBP per individual Personnel member solicited or circumvented, as a genuine pre-estimate of the loss suffered by the Company. This sum shall be recoverable as a debt. The Company also reserves the right to seek injunctive relief and any further damages available under applicable law. The Client acknowledges that this clause is reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic extent, and is necessary to protect the Company's legitimate business interests.
35. PLATFORM DEPENDENCY AND ROBLOX DISCLAIMER
The Client acknowledges and agrees that all Services provided by the Company are created for and dependent upon the Roblox platform, a third-party service owned and operated by Roblox Corporation. The Company has no affiliation with, endorsement by, or control over Roblox Corporation or its platform. The following limitations apply and are accepted by the Client as conditions of engagement:
• Platform Changes. Roblox Corporation may at any time update, modify, restrict, or deprecate features, APIs, systems, or functionality. The Company shall have no liability for any deliverable that becomes non-functional, broken, or incompatible as a result of such changes after delivery and acceptance.
• Account and Access. The Company shall not be responsible for any loss of access, account bans, asset removals, or moderation actions taken by Roblox Corporation against the Client's account or uploaded content.
• Policy Compliance. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that all requested content complies with Roblox's Terms of Service, Community Standards, and applicable guidelines. The Company reserves the right to refuse any work that, in its sole judgement, may violate Roblox's policies or applicable law, without refund.
• Marketplace and Monetisation. The Company makes no guarantees regarding the approval, publication, revenue performance, or continued availability of any asset or game on the Roblox platform. Roblox Corporation's decisions regarding monetisation, visibility, and moderation are entirely outside the Company's control.
• Post-Delivery Maintenance. Unless explicitly included in a separate written maintenance agreement, the Company is under no obligation to update, repair, or modify any deliverable following changes to the Roblox platform after the date of final delivery and acceptance.
The Client accepts full responsibility for all platform-related risks. The Company's obligation is to deliver work that functions correctly at the time of delivery. Roblox platform changes, outages, policy updates, or moderation decisions occurring after delivery shall not entitle the Client to any refund, revision, or compensation.

36. DEBT RECOVERY, LEGAL COSTS AND ENFORCEMENT
The Company operates a zero-tolerance policy on non-payment. The following terms apply to all unpaid amounts owed to the Company:
• Immediate Suspension. Any failure to make payment by the agreed due date shall entitle the Company to immediately suspend all active services, withhold delivery of all completed or in-progress work, and revoke access to any files, assets, or accounts provided by the Company.
• Statutory Interest. Pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, all overdue invoices shall accrue statutory interest at a rate of 8% above the Bank of England base rate per annum, calculated from the date the invoice fell due until the date of full payment.
• Compensation Charges. In addition to statutory interest, the Company shall be entitled to fixed compensation charges per overdue invoice in accordance with applicable UK legislation: 40 GBP for debts below 1,000 GBP; 70 GBP for debts between 1,000 GBP and 9,999.99 GBP; and 100 GBP for debts of 10,000 GBP or above.
• Recovery Costs. The Client agrees to reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs incurred in recovering unpaid sums, including but not limited to solicitors' fees, court filing fees, enforcement costs, debt collection agency fees, and any ancillary administrative costs.
• Retention of Deliverables. The Company shall exercise a legal lien over all completed and partially completed deliverables, source files, assets, and documentation until all outstanding sums, interest, and costs have been paid in full. No intellectual property rights shall transfer to the Client whilst any debt remains outstanding.
• Legal Proceedings. The Company reserves the right to pursue recovery through the UK Small Claims Court (for sums up to 10,000 GBP), County Court, or High Court as appropriate, and to apply for County Court Judgments (CCJs), charging orders, attachment of earnings orders, and any other available enforcement mechanisms without further notice.
• Credit Reporting. Where permitted by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to report persistent non-payment to credit reference agencies, which may affect the Client's credit rating.
Prior to initiating formal legal proceedings, the Company will issue a Letter Before Action giving the Client a final opportunity to settle the outstanding debt within 7 days. Failure to respond or make payment within this period will result in immediate commencement of legal proceedings without further notice. The Client acknowledges that the costs of such proceedings, including the Company's legal costs, shall be added to the total debt recoverable.
The Client expressly acknowledges that the provisions of this clause are a genuine and reasonable reflection of the losses likely to be suffered by the Company in the event of non-payment, and agrees that such provisions are not a penalty but a legitimate contractual remedy.
