III. Formation of the Contract
Request for Proposal:
Inquiries made via the website or by e-mail are for information purposes only and do not constitute an offer or any binding commitment.

Each design phase includes two (2) rounds of revisions within the framework of the approved design brief.
Additional Requests:
Fundamental changes requested after approval of a given phase may be carried out subject to additional fees, based on individual calculation.

Payment Schedule:
We typically apply milestone-based payments (e.g., 40% at project start, 40% upon delivery of visualizations, 20% upon final delivery).
Late Payment:
The design process will be suspended until outstanding invoices are settled, and the use of the plans is not permitted until full payment has been received.
