- Color correction
- The remaining 20% must be cleared before final delivery.
- High-resolution output files and final deliverables are shared only after full payment.
- Editable or source project files (such as .prproj, .aep, .xml, .drp or similar) will be provided only if explicitly mentioned and agreed upon in the project agreement or contract.
- Clients preferring a hassle-free process may alternatively pay the total amount in full at the start of the project.

5. Late Payments & Compliance
- A 1.5% monthly late fee will apply to any overdue balance after the grace period.

- These practices follow, where applicable, the standard provisions of the MSME Act (2006) regarding timely payments to registered service providers.
6. Ownership & Intellectual Property

- Upon final settlement, ownership rights are formally transferred to the client, as per the deliverables defined in the project agreement.
- Editable source files are not included by default and are only shared when explicitly agreed to in writing.
7. Refund Reference
- If a client decides to cancel a project before any work has started, a refund may be issued after deducting a professional fee of ₹2,500 or 5% of the project cost (whichever is higher).
- Once work has commenced, no refund will be initiated under any circumstances.
- For further details, please refer to the WebMaak Refund & Cancellation Policy.
8. Project Discontinuation & Kill Fee
If a client decides to discontinue or terminate the project mid-way, a Kill Fee shall apply.
For IT & Design Projects:
- In the event of mid-project termination, the client is required to pay a Kill Fee, the amount of which will be discussed and mutually agreed upon with the WebMaak team based on the progress and effort invested.
- Project code, staging builds, or partial deliverables will be handed over only after full settlement of the Kill Fee and any pending dues.
For Media, Motion & 3D Projects:
- In the event of discontinuation, the client must clear the Kill Fee agreed upon with the WebMaak team.
- Collected project files, intermediate drafts, or exported outputs will be shared only after the Kill Fee and all pending balances are fully paid.
Note: The Kill Fee ensures fair compensation for time, resources, and efforts already invested before discontinuation.
9. Payment Disputes
Clients are encouraged to review invoices upon receipt. Any concerns or discrepancies must be raised within three (3) business days of invoice issuance.
WebMaak will make all reasonable efforts to resolve such matters promptly and amicably before the payment due date.
10. Agreement & Enforcement
