Legal
Terms & Conditions
Transparent terms for every creative partnership.
Overview
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the services provided by Patronus Pixels. By commissioning work, approving a proposal, or paying a deposit, you agree to the terms set out on this page.
They are written to be read, not to be survived. If any clause is unclear, ask before you sign — we would far rather explain a term than enforce one you did not understand.
Our Services
Patronus Pixels provides creative and digital services including brand identity, graphic design, web design and UI/UX, packaging, social media content, motion graphics, and related creative strategy.
Every engagement is defined by a written proposal. That proposal — its deliverables, milestones, revision rounds and price — is the agreement; anything not named in it is out of scope until both sides agree otherwise in writing.
Payments & Billing
A 50% advance is required to schedule and begin any project. The remaining balance falls due on completion, before final deliverables are released. Advance payments reserve studio time and are non-refundable once work has started.
Quoted prices are fixed against the agreed scope. Bank charges, currency conversion and any third-party costs — stock licences, fonts, printing, hosting — are billed at cost and always agreed with you first.

- Project Starts
- Review & Feedback
- Final Payment
- Deliverables Released
Ownership & Rights
Full ownership of the final approved deliverables transfers to you once the project is paid in full. Until then, all work remains the property of Patronus Pixels.
- You receive the final artwork, exports and agreed source files.
- Working files, unused concepts and rejected routes remain ours unless bought separately.
- Third-party assets — fonts, stock imagery, plugins — are licensed to you under their own terms, not ours.
- We may show the finished work in our portfolio and marketing unless an NDA says otherwise.
Revisions
Each milestone includes two full rounds of revisions. A round means one consolidated set of feedback, gathered from everyone who needs to see it, delivered together.
Revisions refine the agreed direction. A change of direction after approval — a new brief, a new audience, a different concept — is new work and is quoted separately. Nothing is ever charged for correcting our own error.
Project Timeline
Schedules are agreed in the proposal and depend on both sides. We commit to our dates; in return we need assets, access and decisions within the windows set out at kickoff.
If feedback stalls for more than fourteen days the project is treated as paused, and restarting it is subject to studio availability. Timelines are estimates made in good faith, not guarantees against events outside our control.
Confidentiality
Anything you share with us in confidence — strategy, financials, unreleased products, customer data — stays confidential, and is used only to do the work you have asked for.
We sign NDAs gladly, before anything sensitive changes hands. Unreleased work stays out of our portfolio until you have launched and are happy for it to appear.
Termination
Either side may end an engagement in writing at any time. If you cancel, the advance is retained and you are invoiced for work completed up to that date; anything paid beyond that is refunded.
If we end it, you are invoiced only for work delivered and you receive everything completed to that point. We reserve the right to withdraw from an engagement where the working relationship has become abusive.
Limitation of Liability
Our total liability for any claim arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profit, lost data or lost business opportunity.
You are responsible for the accuracy of the content, claims and trademarks you supply, and for any legal clearance the final work requires in your market.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the courts of Lahore have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
Before anything reaches a court, both sides agree to attempt to resolve the matter directly and in good faith. In practice, a conversation has always been enough.
Contact
Questions about these terms, or about anything in a proposal, can go to hello@patronuspixels.com and will be answered within one working day.
We may update this page as the studio's practice changes. The date at the top always reflects the current version, and material changes are communicated to active clients directly.
Questions
Common questions about these terms
How many revisions are included?
Two full rounds at each milestone. A round is one consolidated set of feedback rather than a trickle of individual notes — gathering it together is what keeps a project on schedule. Correcting our own mistakes never counts against that allowance.
Who owns the source files?
You own the final approved deliverables outright once the project is paid in full, including the agreed source files. Unused concepts and internal working files stay with the studio unless you buy them separately — they are drafts, not deliverables.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel in writing at any time. The 50% advance is retained because it reserved studio time that could not be sold twice, and you are invoiced for any work completed beyond it. Anything already paid above that figure is refunded.
How long does delivery take?
A focused identity runs three to four weeks; a full brand system, six to eight; a marketing site, four to six. The dates are set in the proposal and depend on feedback arriving inside the agreed windows — that is usually the only variable.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before anything confidential is shared. Send yours over or ask for ours. Work under NDA stays out of the portfolio until you have launched and told us you are happy for it to appear.
Can these terms change?
They can, as the studio's practice evolves. The date at the top of this page always reflects the current version, and any material change is communicated to active clients directly rather than left here to be discovered.
