The Client may require, for each Space, the elaboration of a Digital Sketch, a Moodboard, a 2D Plan or a 3D Visualization (the «Main Deliverable»).
The Project may or may not contemplate the elaboration of revisions (the «Revisions») of the Main Deliverable.
In addition to the Main Deliverable, the Client may request the preparation of additional services, such as other types of design, detailed 2D drawings, preparation of furniture shopping lists, bills of quantities and materials and assisted online shopping (the «Additional Services»).

- Submission of each of the Revisions within the deadline agreed with the Client.
- If applicable, submission of the Additional Deliverables within the deadline agreed with the Client and upon confirmation of the Client’s acceptance of the proposed Main Deliverable.
Fees, billing and payment
Fees due for the Principal Deliverable and for Additional Deliverables exclude IGV (or IVA or VAT) that may be due based on the Client’s jurisdiction.
Payments must be made by credit card or bank transfer. An additional charge of up to 5% applies to credit card payments. The initial invoice for the Project is due in cash. Subsequent invoices for additional deliverables are due within seven (7) days of their date of issue. Late payment of invoices will result in (i) suspension of the execution of the Project and (ii) payment of a penalty for each day of delay corresponding to USD 25/day (excluding VAT or equivalent).
The fees related to the Project are non-refundable and do not include any other service not expressly mentioned in these Terms.
Third parties
From time to time, Schbam may work with third parties in the execution of the Project. The Client agrees that Schbam may subcontract such third parties at its free disposal and that Schbam shall assume responsibility for the execution of the Project assigned to them. The Client also agrees that Schbam may share information relating to the Project with such third parties. Schbam shall not be obliged to inform the Client in the event that it engages third parties to execute part or all of the Project.
Photographs, videos and advertising
The Client accepts that photographs and/or videos of the Project may be included in Schbam’s website (www.schbam.com), social networks, commercial proposals or e-mails for advertising and corporate communication purposes.
Intellectual Property
All sketches, designs, plans, moodboards or, in general, visualizations or representations of the Main Deliverable, the Additional Deliverables and their Revisions prepared by Schbam (the «Documents») are the property of Schbam for an indefinite period of time and are not transferred to Client as part of the execution of the Project. The Documents may not be used by the Client for any purpose other than the execution of the Project. The Client may, however, disclose images of the Documents, provided that such images do not include offensive mentions and/or improper language to any audience. When disclosing images of the Documents, the Client assumes the obligation to share the authorship of such images.
Resolution
The Project may be terminated at any time in the event of default by either party upon five (5) days prior written notice by email.
