2. TERMS OF SERVICE (PUBLIC OFFER)
2.1. Engagement Models
Studio Bookings (Day Rate): Services provided on a day-rate basis are defined as 8 hours of labor. Any hours exceeding this limit within a 24-hour period are considered overtime and may be invoiced at 1.5x the hourly rate.
Fixed-Price Projects: All project-based work requires a 50% non-refundable deposit to initiate production. The remaining 50% is due upon final delivery of the rendered assets but prior to the transfer of any high-resolution masters, unless otherwise agreed.
2.2. Revisions and Alterations We provide two (2) rounds of minor revisions within the agreed scope. A "minor revision" includes color adjustments, timing tweaks, or minor text changes. Any structural changes (e.g., camera path changes, new 3D simulations, or changes to approved storyboards) will be treated as "out of scope" and invoiced at our standard day rate.
2.3. Intellectual Property and Source Files
Final Deliverables: Upon receipt of full payment, the Client is granted an exclusive, worldwide license to use the final rendered output for the purposes specified in the project brief.
Proprietary Rights: RADUCHITS LLC retains all rights, titles, and interests in and to the source files (including but not limited to .C4D, .Houdini, .AEP, and custom scripts).
Source File Buyout: Transfer of source files to direct clients is not standard and is subject to a buyout fee (typically 100% of the total project fee). For studio-based contracts, source file delivery is governed by the specific Master Service Agreement (MSA).
2.4. The "Director’s Cut" and Portfolio Rights RADUCHITS LLC reserves the irrevocable right to use any portion of the work (including unused concepts and "Director’s Cuts") for self-promotion. We agree to respect "embargo" dates and will not publish work until it has been officially released by the Client. However, if a project remains unreleased for more than 6 months post-delivery, we reserve the right to display the work in our portfolio.
2.5. Social Media Credits When the Client or their representatives publish the Work on social media platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Behance, etc.), they shall provide a visible credit to "RADUCHITS" or tag the Contractor’s official handle. This applies to both the final version and any behind-the-scenes content.
2.6. Cancellation (Kill Fee) If the Client cancels or postpones a project after work has commenced, the 50% deposit remains non-refundable. Additionally, the Client shall be invoiced for all work performed beyond the deposit value up to the cancellation date. For day-rate bookings, cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice will be subject to a 100% fee for the first booked day.
2.7. Portfolio Display & Takedown Policy
Demonstration of Skills: The Client/Studio acknowledges that RADUCHITS LLC displays works in its portfolio solely for the purpose of demonstrating professional skills and artistic style. Such display is not intended as a claim of full ownership of the project’s underlying intellectual property or a commercial re-sale of the assets.
Role Disclosure: We strive to accurately credit the Studio or Agency for whom the work was produced. If you believe your role or the Studio’s role is incorrectly credited, please notify us for immediate correction.
Mandatory Takedown Request: In the event that a Studio or Client objects to the inclusion of a specific project in our portfolio (due to NDA restrictions, sensitive content, or expired licenses), the objecting party agrees to provide a written Takedown Request via email to anton@raduchits.com.
Safe Harbor Clause: RADUCHITS LLC agrees to remove or password-protect the disputed content within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving a valid Takedown Request. The Client/Studio agrees that compliance with such a request within the specified timeframe shall constitute a full resolution of the matter and waives the right to pursue further legal action or damages regarding the display of said content prior to the notice.
2.8. International Transactions & Fees: For international clients, all payments must be made via wire transfer or approved digital platforms. The Client is responsible for all intermediary bank fees and currency conversion costs. The total amount received by RADUCHITS LLC must match the net amount stated on the invoice.
3. PROJECT FINALIZATION
3.1. Final Acceptance Delivery of the final high-resolution assets constitutes final acceptance of the work. The Client has seven (7) business days to report any technical defects (e.g., render glitches). After this period, the project is considered closed. Any subsequent changes or "fixes" will be treated as new work and invoiced at the standard rate.
3.2. Digital Acceptance (International): For the purposes of international accounting and tax compliance (including Ukrainian "Act of Acceptance" requirements), the fact of the final payment by the Client or the absence of a written protest within seven (7) business days after delivery shall be deemed as full and unconditional acceptance of the services and a confirmation that the Client has no claims regarding the quality or volume of the work.

7. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) POLICY
7.1. Creative Integrity & Human Authorship Unless specifically requested or authorized by the Client in writing, RADUCHITS LLC ensures that the primary creative direction, animation, and core intellectual property of the Work are produced by human artists. This ensures the final deliverables remain eligible for full copyright protection under current U.S. Copyright Office guidelines.
7.2. Auxiliary AI Usage We may utilize AI-based technologies (e.g., Topaz Labs, Adobe Firefly, or specialized denoising/upscaling algorithms) strictly for technical optimization, such as resolution enhancement, rotoscoping assistance, noise reduction, or workflow automation. These tools are used to enhance quality and efficiency without compromising the original creative intent.
7.3. Data Privacy & Non-Training Guarantee RADUCHITS LLC is committed to protecting the Client's proprietary data. We do not use "open" or "public" AI models that ingest Client assets (logos, footage, concepts) into their training sets. We prioritize the use of "walled-garden" or enterprise-grade AI tools that guarantee data privacy and do not use uploaded content to train future models.
7.4. Third-Party AI Rights If the Client requests the use of Generative AI (e.g., Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) for a project, RADUCHITS LLC shall not be held liable for any copyright disputes or inability to register trademarks related to such AI-generated components.

8.3. Ongoing Efforts & Limitations Our Website is a dynamic portfolio of high-bandwidth motion graphics. We are constantly working to improve keyboard navigation and screen-reader compatibility.
