The Client will provide the information, content, access and feedback reasonably needed for the Services, on time. Timelines may be extended by any delay caused by the Client.
7. Intellectual property
On receiving full payment, the Service Provider assigns to the Client all intellectual property rights in the final deliverables created specifically for the Client under this Agreement.
The Service Provider keeps ownership of its pre-existing materials, tools, templates and know-how. Where any of these form part of the deliverables, the Service Provider grants the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free licence to use them as part of the deliverables.
The Service Provider may show the work in its portfolio and marketing, without disclosing the Client's confidential information, unless the Client objects in writing.
8. Confidentiality
Each Party will keep the other Party's confidential information private and use it only to perform this Agreement. This does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving Party, was already known to it, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law.
This obligation continues for 3 years after this Agreement ends.

On termination, the Client will pay for the Services performed up to the termination date, and each Party will return or delete the other's confidential information. Clauses that by their nature should survive termination - including payment, intellectual property, confidentiality and liability - continue to apply.
11. Limitation of liability
