All services are delivered as described at the time of purchase or written agreement.
3. Payments & Deposits
3.1 Deposits
Certain products and services require a deposit to reserve scheduling, lock project scope, and begin configuration or development. Deposits are applied toward the total project cost.
3.2 Final Payment
Remaining balances are due before final deployment, code transfer, asset delivery, or hosting handoff. Failure to complete final payment may result in delayed delivery.
All payments are processed through third-party providers (for example, Stripe).
4. Refund Policy
Zward Studio operates on a time-reserved, digital product model. Refund terms are as follows.
4.1 Deposits
Deposits are refundable only if no development or configuration work has begun, and no consultation or onboarding session has taken place. Once work has started, deposits are non-refundable.
4.2 Template Products
Template products (including DetailFlow and similar system builds) may be refunded within 3 calendar days of purchase only if no configuration work has started and no onboarding assets have been submitted.
Once configuration or setup begins, the purchase becomes non-refundable. Templates are licensed digital products and cannot be returned once delivered or configured.
4.3 Custom Development
Custom development services are non-refundable once development begins.
If a client cancels after work has started, completed deliverables up to that point may be provided. Deposits remain non-refundable. Additional costs may apply depending on scope progress.
4.4 Project Inactivity
If required materials (assets, content, credentials) are not provided within 30 days, the project may be marked inactive. Deposits remain non-refundable. Reactivation may require a restart or scope review.
4.5 Chargebacks
Clients agree to contact Zward Studio before initiating any chargeback or payment dispute. Fraudulent disputes may result in service termination and refusal of future services.
5. Client Responsibilities
Clients agree to provide accurate project information, supply necessary assets and credentials, not transmit sensitive credentials through unsecured channels, and respond to project communication in a timely manner.
Delays caused by missing materials may impact timelines.
6. Intellectual Property
6.1 Client Content
Clients retain ownership of their brand assets, content, and materials.
6.2 Template Licensing
Template purchases grant a non-transferable, non-resellable license for use by the purchasing business.
Templates may not be resold, redistributed, shared publicly, or republished as competing products.
6.3 Custom Work
Custom work ownership transfers upon full payment. Zward Studio may display completed projects in portfolio materials unless otherwise agreed.
7. Third-Party Services
Projects may integrate third-party tools including hosting providers, payment processors, booking platforms, database services, and email systems.
Zward Studio is not responsible for outages, pricing changes, or service disruptions from third-party providers.

Zward Studio shall not be liable for lost revenue, indirect or consequential damages, third-party outages, client misconfiguration of credentials, or business losses due to external platform issues.
