Client Project Terms of Service:

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is entered into on this date by and between Ryan Studio, LLC (“The Company”) a Rhode Island limited liability company, and the “Client”.

The Client and The Company agree as follows:

Term:

This Agreement will commence on the date of first payment received and will continue on until Client is satisfied deliverable matches that of the original proposal.

• Schedule dates in the “project proposal” do not begin running until initial payment has been made.

• If future payments (as agreed in the “project proposal”) are delayed, Ryan Studio reserves the right to pause and/ or hold work. This is to not “over-extend” and avoid future issues.

Services:

Refer to the “project proposal” document for client-specific goals, deliverables, and other negotiated items.

• All documentation and models will be transferred to clients via email link or other.

• Reproduction and other client production costs are not included unless specified in the “project proposal”.

• Travel is not included unless specified in the “project proposal”.

• Building documentation, measurement, etc., is not included unless specified in the “project proposal”.

• Scheduling and communication will be generally handled over email.

Clients Requirements & Expectations:

Client agrees to provide the following items in the time frame stated:

• Description of project goals in workshop sessions.

• Building information to be used as a base for the design work. If building information is not available, 3d scanning and/ or as-built representation is not included unless specified in the “project proposal”.

• General feedback on design and project direction in a reasonably organized and timely fashion, in order to meet schedule expectations.

• Significant client changes in scope (project direction/ program/ scope/ size/ use/ structural changes/ etc.) are requested after the batch of 2-3 concepts have been reviewed and a direction has been agreed upon, this can be a significant step back, and additional options can be explored at an hourly rate or package price. Ryan Studio manages this process with you to avoid this issue, but some “small changes” owners ask for can be significant work.

• Revisions may be limited to 2-3 rounds (this can’t be an endless process), and additional changes can be made hourly (if agreed upon), and the schedule may be impacted.
