4. Delivery Timelines
Delivery timelines are estimated in the proposal and begin upon receipt of the initial payment (deposit) and delivery of all materials requested by the Provider (copy, images, credentials, etc.).
Delays attributable to the Client — including delays in delivering materials or in reviewing/approving deliverables — automatically suspend the agreed delivery timeline.

Project assets (design, source code, content developed by the Provider) remain the property of the Provider until full invoice settlement. Upon full payment, usage rights for the assets are transferred to the Client as defined in the proposal.
The Provider reserves the right to include the project in its portfolio and marketing materials, unless the Client expressly requests confidentiality in writing.
The Client may not sublicense, resell or distribute developed materials without prior written consent from the Provider.

In the event of early termination of an ongoing project, amounts already paid are non-refundable, and the Provider may invoice for work completed up to the termination date.
