Delays in providing Source Materials, feedback, or required information may extend delivery timelines.
Intellectual Property
Client Content / Source Materials

Upon receipt of full payment, you will own the final deliverables created specifically for you under the applicable Statement of Work (including project files where specified), unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Agency Materials
Introcate retains all ownership of its pre-existing templates, tools, processes, methodologies, software, internal systems, and any behind-the-scenes or process content. We reserve the right to use anonymised or non-confidential portions of completed work in our portfolio, showreel, or marketing materials, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Payment Terms
- Fees and payment schedules will be specified in your Service Agreement, Statement of Work, or invoice.
- Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due according to the schedule in your agreement (commonly 50% on signing / commencement and 50% on final delivery).
- Late payments may result in suspension of work, withholding of deliverables, and/or interest charges.
- All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in a written agreement or required by applicable law.
- Additional revisions beyond the included rounds, rush work, or scope changes may incur extra fees.
Revisions
The number of included revision rounds, response timeframes for feedback, and fees for additional revisions will be defined in your Statement of Work or Service Agreement. Complex or extensive changes (including significant animation, restructuring, or new creative direction) may affect timelines and incur additional charges.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to treat confidential information shared during the engagement with reasonable care and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law or as necessary to perform the services. This obligation survives termination of the engagement.
Warranties and Disclaimers
Introcate will perform services with reasonable skill and care consistent with industry standards. However:
- We do not guarantee specific results, metrics, view counts, engagement, virality, rankings, or business outcomes.
- Services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
- We are not responsible for the actions, policies, algorithm changes, account suspensions, or content moderation decisions of third-party platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, etc.).
- Final quality is dependent on the quality and completeness of Source Materials provided by the Client.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Introcate’s total liability arising out of or related to any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the specific services giving rise to the claim.
Introcate shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Introcate, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement:
- For convenience, in accordance with the notice period stated in the applicable Service Agreement (or 30 days’ written notice if none is specified)
- Immediately for material breach that remains uncured after the cure period stated in the agreement (or 14 days if none is specified)
- Immediately if the other party becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy
Upon termination, you remain responsible for payment of all services rendered, work in progress, and expenses incurred up to the effective termination date. Kill fees or early termination fees may apply as specified in your agreement.
Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, internet or platform outages, or other force majeure events.
Communication Protocol
All project-related communication shall occur through the channels designated by Introcate (typically Discord with authorised owners or the managing department). Direct contact with individual editors or production staff is prohibited unless expressly authorised in writing.
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted on our website with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For active paid engagements, the Terms in effect at the time of signing the specific Service Agreement will generally continue to apply to that engagement unless otherwise agreed.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them shall be governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
The parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, the dispute shall be submitted to mediation and, if necessary, binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body, with the seat of arbitration in Kolkata, India, unless otherwise agreed in a specific Service Agreement.
