1. Agreement structure

Each engagement is defined by a written statement of work that lists deliverables, the rig specification, milestones, fees and dates. Where a statement of work or signed agreement conflicts with these terms, that document prevails for the engagement it covers.

2. Scope and revisions

  • The statement of work fixes the scope. Each milestone includes [NUMBER OF REVISION ROUNDS] rounds of revision against the agreed specification.
  • Changes to topology, proportions, target engine, capture source or control conventions after a milestone is approved are change requests, quoted separately before work continues.
  • Corrections of defects — a rig that does not meet the approved specification — are not revisions and are fixed at no charge during the warranty period.

3. Client responsibilities

  • Provide production-intent meshes, UVs, capture data and engine details in the agreed formats.
  • Provide a single named reviewer with authority to approve milestones.
  • Hold all rights, licences and performer consents needed for the material you send us.
  • Review each milestone within [REVIEW WINDOW] working days.

4. Delivery and acceptance

Deliverables are provided through a secure transfer link. A milestone is accepted when you confirm in writing, or automatically if no written defect report is received within [ACCEPTANCE WINDOW] working days of delivery. Schedules assume timely review and complete input assets; delays on either shift dates accordingly.

5. Fees and payment

  • Unless stated otherwise, [DEPOSIT PERCENTAGE] is invoiced on signature and the balance per milestone.
  • Invoices are payable within [PAYMENT TERM, e.g. 14 DAYS] of the invoice date, in [CURRENCY].
  • Fees exclude VAT, sales tax and withholding, which are added or borne as required by [TAX JURISDICTION].
  • Late amounts may carry interest at [LATE PAYMENT RATE], and we may suspend work on written notice.

6. Intellectual property

You retain all rights in the material you supply. On full payment, ownership of the engagement-specific deliverables — rig files, blendshape sets, correctives and project scripts — transfers to you. SkeletalMesh retains ownership of its pre-existing and generic tools, libraries, rig-builder framework and know-how, and grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use them as embedded in the deliverables.

7. Confidentiality and publicity

Each party keeps the other's confidential information secret and uses it only for the engagement. We will not name you or show any work publicly without your prior written approval, which you may grant per asset or withhold entirely.

8. Warranty

We warrant that services are performed with the skill and care of a competent specialist studio, and that deliverables will conform materially to the approved rig specification for [WARRANTY PERIOD] after acceptance. Your remedy is correction of the non-conformity. Except as stated, deliverables are provided without further warranty to the extent permitted by law.

9. Limitation of liability

Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, lost profits, lost revenue or lost data. Our aggregate liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement in the [LIABILITY LOOKBACK PERIOD] preceding the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited under [GOVERNING LAW].

10. Suspension and termination

Either party may terminate for material breach not cured within [CURE PERIOD] days of written notice. You may terminate for convenience on written notice; in that case you pay for work performed and non-cancellable commitments to the termination date. Confidentiality, IP and payment obligations survive.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION], and the courts of [COURT / VENUE] have exclusive jurisdiction. The parties will attempt good-faith resolution before starting proceedings.

12. Website use

Content on this website is provided for information only and does not constitute an offer. You may not scrape, reproduce or reuse our images, copy or code without written permission.
