By interacting in any form with the Platform – whether as a viewer, visitor, participant, client, collaborator, interested party, guest, vendor, student, partner or in any form whatsoever, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“T&C”). Please be advised that FED reserves the right to modify, supplement, suspend, discontinue or otherwise revise the T&C, as well as the content available across the Platform, including the prices for their products and services, at any time, without any prior notice.

  1. Work:
    • Collaborative process: At the heart of FED's work process are collaboration, punctuality, and professionalism. We strictly adhere to timelines, recognizing the customized nature of our deliverables tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences. This collaborative design process necessitates regular client inputs and feedback. No designs on a given mandate are finalized without the client's final signoff.

    • Caveat: Consequently, the entire process is contingent on the speed and clarity of client responses, whether for feedback or requested information. Timelines provided by FED are inherently subject to the client's active participation in the creative process.

    • Confidentiality: FED is deeply committed to upholding the confidentiality of client data, business inputs, and other sensitive information received during service provision.

    • External Vendors: There may be times that FED may use external vendors to complete certain project requests that are outside FED’s regular service offerings. It is clarified that in such cases, FED is merely acting as an introducer of service providers to the client and has no liability or connection whatsoever to the quality or the standard of such vendor-provided product or service.

  2. Payment and Refund:
    • Payment:

      1. Advance payment: Finalization and commencement of work on any mandate shall only be made on receipt of 50% of the full fees as advance payment. It is clarified that no work will begin on a mandate without receipt of the aforementioned advance payment.

      2. On-going/ retainer payments: On-going or retainer payments must be made in advance for the month following the payment. Any delay beyond 7 days in making such payment would entitle FED to suspend all work on the mandate and retain such raw and ready files in their possession until full payment of the retainer is received in their account.

      3. Rush fees: In the event the client requires expedited service on any mandate (meaning that the turn-around time on the order is 48 hours or less from the time of placing the order), a non-refundable rush fee shall apply to the mandate. The amount of rush fees shall be communicated to the client in advance, and it is only upon receipt of the advance amount (including the rush fees) that work will start on the order.

      4. All payments made to FED shall be subject to applicable taxes;

      5. FED reserves the right to refuse services to any person/entity at any time;
