Client Work and Deliverables

The rights to branding, designs, or motion work delivered to clients are controlled by the specific contracts signed with those clients, such as proposals, Statements of Work (SOW), or Master Service Agreements (MSA). Typically:

  • Ownership or license to use the final deliverables is granted to the client only after full and final payment of agreed fees.

  • Raw, editable source files (such as layered design files, motion project files, or working files) are not automatically part of what the client receives; they are only included if explicitly agreed in the written contract.

If you are a client and want clarification on what you can do with deliverables, you should refer to your specific agreement, as it will override any general description here.

A binding project relationship arises only when Niathi formally accepts work and both sides agree in writing (for example, via a signed proposal or SOW).
