Terms of service.
Standard engagement terms for 3D, CGI and AI product content projects with SMAPIT. Substantive terms for any specific project live in the signed engagement letter or statement of work.
Last updated: 10 August 2026
This is a public-facing summary of how the studio operates. Substantive contract terms are governed by the signed engagement letter or MSA on your specific project, which supersedes anything on this page. Review with counsel before relying on this document for anything material.
Scope of services.
SMAPIT provides 3D product visualization, 3D product modeling, CGI product photography, 3D product animation, AI product ads and UGC, ecommerce product content and CGI campaign production, as described on our services page. Deliverables, formats, timelines and revision rounds for a specific project are defined in the engagement letter signed at kick-off.
Engagement flow.
- Brief. You send a project brief via the contact form or email.
- Reply. First human response within 4 business hours during working days.
- Scope + quote. Fixed quote in USD, INR or AED within one working day.
- Engagement letter. Countersigned by both parties before work starts.
- Production. Modeling, rendering, animation and post per the agreed timeline.
- Delivery. Files handed over on the agreed date, in the agreed formats.
Payment terms.
Standard terms are 50% on engagement-letter countersign, balance on final delivery. Larger projects and monthly retainers can be milestone-billed instead. Established agency partners qualify for net-30. Currencies supported: USD, INR, AED.
Intellectual property and ownership.
On full payment, the client owns the final delivered assets covered by the engagement letter: 3D scene files, PBR textures, rendered images, animation cuts and any AI-generated variants shipped as deliverables. Third-party assets (stock music, licensed HDRIs, third-party model libraries) remain licensed under their respective terms.
SMAPIT retains the right to display representative frames or short clips of the work in its portfolio (/work), on social channels and in credentials decks, unless the engagement letter includes a portfolio-restriction clause you have agreed with us at kick-off.
Confidentiality.
SMAPIT signs an NDA before any product CAD, prototype photos or unreleased brand information is shared. Yours or ours works. Confidentiality survives the end of the engagement per the term specified in the NDA.
Liability.
SMAPIT’s aggregate liability under any engagement is limited to the total fees paid on that engagement. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or lost-profit damages. This does not limit liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct or breaches of confidentiality.
AI-generated content and disclosure.
Where deliverables include AI-generated frames (through SMAPIT’s in-house pipeline or licensed generation models), we operate under the disclosure and consent requirements applicable to the client’s target markets, including the EU AI Act Article 50(4), the California AI Transparency Act, and platform policy for Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads and YouTube. Every AI-generated deliverable ships with the metadata required by the platform it targets.
Governing law and disputes.
These terms are governed by the laws of India, with disputes subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Gurugram, Haryana, unless an engagement letter specifies otherwise. Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith through direct discussion before escalating.
