All services are defined in explicitly contracted Statements of Work (SOW) executed between the Client and DesignCircuitStudio. Any work outside the agreed SOW scope requires a separate written amendment with updated pricing and timeline.

Invoices are due within 14 days of issuance unless otherwise specified in the SOW. Late payments incur a 1.5% monthly interest charge. DesignCircuitStudio reserves the right to suspend ongoing work if payments are more than 30 days overdue.

Upon complete settlement of all agreed invoices, DesignCircuitStudio assigns all worldwide intellectual property rights in the client-specific deliverables — including source code, design files, component libraries, and documentation — directly to the Client. Pre-existing frameworks, utilities, and internal tooling remain the property of DesignCircuitStudio.
2.5 Confidentiality
Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all proprietary information shared during the engagement. This obligation survives termination of the agreement for a period of 3 years.
2.6 Limitation of Liability
DesignCircuitStudio's total aggregate liability under any agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for the specific project giving rise to the claim. We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including loss of revenue, data, or business opportunity.
2.7 Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with 14 days written notice. Upon termination, the Client is responsible for payment of all work completed up to the termination date. All completed deliverables and work-in-progress shall be transferred to the Client upon settlement.

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Spain and the European Union. Any disputes shall be resolved through the courts of Madrid, Spain, unless both parties agree to alternative dispute resolution.
