PROPERTY AND SUPPLIER’S PERFORMANCE

SERVICES PROVIDER will take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the property you entrust to us.

Although we may use our best efforts to guard against any loss to you through the failure of our venndors, media, or others to perform in accordance with their commitments, SERVICES PROVIDER is not responsible for failure on their part. If you select your own vendors, other than those recommended by us, you may request that we coordinate their work. If at all possible, we will attempt to do so, but we cannot in anyway be held responsible for quality, price, performance or delivery.Until such time as the project has been paid for in full, SERVICES PROVIDER retains full ownership of all design, artwork and intellectual property contained therein.
