These Standard Business Terms and Conditions are attached to and made a part of this Proposal and Agreement for 3D Animation & Digital Design Services by LOTON for the Client.


1. Information to be provided by Client

Client must provide all information about the structure and materials/textures as necessary to create each scene.  This is generally the same information required by artists for hand renderings; including all plans, elevations, color chips, and material samples.  At the client's request, LOTON will use its best judgment to illustrate areas where information is missing, but cannot be held responsible for any changes caused by its judgments or from missing information.


If the Client does not provide data for placement of buildings, signage, driveways, site furnishings, landscape, etc., LOTON will use its best judgment to provide a pleasing/conforming layout.  LOTON does not provide an interior or architectural design service as part of this agreement.  It is the intent of any interior view to demonstrate the attributes of the space, where applicable.  Furnishings are provided primarily for scale, not as focal points. LOTON may, at the request of the Client, provide exterior landscape & hardscape design, where and as applicable to the completion or creation of scenes and motion paths.


2.  Colors and Materials

LOTON will use its best effort to accurately match color information and materials provided by client.  Client recognizes, however, that colors and materials will vary from the supplied information due to lighting conditions and the specific printer and/or display device used to display the image.  Reasonable variations from supplied color data material representation are to be expected.


3.  Client Reviews and Changes

Client understands that the 3D visualization process is not perfect, that “gray areas” will exist, and some information may be missing if not clearing and precisely specified in the CAD drawings.  For the process to be cost effective for both parties, Client will allow LOTON to use its experience and judgment to create the best possible animations and images given time, financial and informational constraints. LOTON will also allow Client opportunity to make reasonable changes as long as they significantly improve the presentation.


Client initiated changes are billed at a fee of $50 per hour and include changes to information and materials provided to LOTON by Client. Examples are changes in architectural elements, site orientations, and floor plan modifications.


After receipt of all client-supplied information, LOTON will complete the scenes required under this contract to the best of its knowledge and ability. All scenes will represent LOTON’s best effort and skill for design interpretation and aesthetics given the available information, time and cost constraints defined herein.


LOTON will deliver to CLIENT the 3 still renderings by email.  Client will promptly review the renderings for structural correctness and notify LOTON in writing within 3 business days of changes, if any, which Client feels, are essential to the success of the presentation.  LOTON will make the requested changes according to the terms specified in this agreement.  LOTON will deliver the draft, final, and production animations to the CLIENT by DVD.  LOTON reserves the right to utilize a watermark on the production animation and still renderings until receipt of final payment, at which time LOTON will deliver the production animation and still renderings without a watermark.









4.  Payment Schedule

The continuous progress of LOTON’s services requires prompt payment.  Whenever CLIENT requests LOTON to incorporate design changes beyond the scope of services specified in this agreement, LOTON reserves the right to bill CLIENT monthly for this additional work only.  We may, after seven (7) calendar days notice to Client, suspend services under this agreement until we have been paid in full for all amounts due for our services and expenses. No new work or additions will be commenced until previously agreed payments for design changes have been made in full.  


Final 50% payment is due upon presentation of production animation and still renderings.
