Terms of Service

A project begins when you accept a written quotation or sign a statement of work. That document sets the styles, deliverables, schedule and fees; these terms govern anything it does not address. Where the two conflict, the signed statement of work prevails.

Quotes are priced per style and per sampling round. Adding styles, changing a block, altering fabric direction after lab-dip approval, or requesting sampling rounds beyond those quoted is a change request and will be re-quoted before work continues.

• Provide accurate size sets, fit model measurements and existing block files.
• Confirm approvals (sketch, colorway, lab dip, fit comments) in writing.
• Warrant that any artwork, print or trim you supply is licensed for production use.
• Respond to approval requests within five working days to keep the schedule valid.

Development schedules assume timely approvals and normal mill lead times. Delays caused by late approvals, fabric shortages, courier failures or factory closures extend the schedule by the equivalent period and may affect cost.

Unless the statement of work says otherwise, 50% of the fee is invoiced on commencement and the balance on delivery of the final samples or pattern files. Invoices are payable within 14 days. Fabric, trim, lab-dip and courier costs are passed through at cost and invoiced separately. Late payment may attract interest at the statutory rate in [Jurisdiction].

Concepts, sketches, graded patterns and tech packs created for your project transfer to you on full payment of all invoices for that project. Until payment is received, all rights remain with CoutureCut Studio and the material may not be sent to a factory. Our pre-existing blocks, templates, grading rules and internal methods remain our property and are licensed to you for use with the delivered styles only.

We may show finished work in our portfolio no earlier than the style's public retail launch, unless you tell us in writing not to. Confidential development material is never published.

Samples are development prototypes, not production goods. Bulk production, grading tolerance in the factory, garment testing and regulatory labelling remain your responsibility unless expressly contracted. We do not guarantee that a third-party factory will reproduce a sample identically.

We provide services with reasonable skill and care. To the fullest extent permitted in [Jurisdiction], we exclude liability for lost profit, lost sales, missed drop dates or indirect loss, and our total liability for any project is limited to the fees paid for that project. Nothing limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited in [Jurisdiction].

Each party will keep the other's confidential information secret and use it only for the project. This obligation survives completion for three years, or longer if a signed non-disclosure agreement says so.

Either party may terminate with 14 days' written notice. On termination you pay for work completed and for non-cancellable commitments already placed with mills or suppliers. Files for paid work are released; unpaid work is not.

These terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], and the courts of [Jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. Questions about these terms: enquiry@codexis.store.
