Kankei Studio — Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 04/08/2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of the kankeistudio.co.uk website (the "Site") and the provision of branding, photography, creative direction, and web design services by Kankei Studio Limited (Company No. 15458171), trading as Kankei Studio™ ("Kankei Studio", "we", "us", "our"). By using the Site, submitting an enquiry, or engaging us for services, you ("client", "you") agree to these Terms.

1. Our services

Kankei Studio provides branding, photography, creative direction, and web design services. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and cost of any project will be set out separately in a proposal, quote, or written agreement ("Project Agreement") between Kankei Studio and the client. Where these Terms conflict with a signed Project Agreement, the Project Agreement takes precedence.

2. Quotes and acceptance of work

  • Quotes and proposals are valid for [insert period, e.g. 30 days] from the date issued unless stated otherwise.
  • A project is confirmed once the client accepts the quote/proposal in writing (including by email) and, where applicable, pays the agreed deposit.
  • Any changes to the agreed scope after confirmation may be treated as additional work and quoted separately.

3. Payment terms

  • Unless otherwise agreed, a deposit of 30% is payable before work begins, with the balance due on completion or per the schedule set out in the Project Agreement.
  • Invoices are payable within 7 days of the invoice date.
  • Late payments may incur a reasonable administration charge and/or interest, and we reserve the right to pause work on overdue accounts.
  • Final files, deliverables, and usage rights are released only once payment has been received in full.

4. Revisions

Each project includes a set number of revision rounds as agreed in the Project Agreement. Additional revisions beyond this may be chargeable at our standard rate.

5. Client responsibilities

To deliver your project on time, we ask that you:

  • Provide clear, timely feedback and any required content, assets, or approvals
  • Ensure any materials you supply to us (images, logos, copy, brand assets) don't infringe third-party rights
  • Respond to reasonable requests for information needed to complete the work

Delays caused by late client feedback or missing materials may affect agreed timelines.

6. Intellectual property and ownership

  • Completed project deliverables (including designs, photography, website builds, and other creative work produced by Kankei Studio) remain the intellectual property of Kankei Studio Limited, including after project completion and full payment, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Clients are granted a licence to use the deliverables for the purposes set out in the Project Agreement.
  • Third-party assets purchased as part of a project — such as licensed fonts, stock imagery, plugins, or other paid assets bought on the client's behalf — are owned solely by the client once paid for in full, subject to the terms of the original licence from the relevant third-party provider.
  • Kankei Studio retains the right to display completed project work (including designs, websites, and photography) in its portfolio, case studies, and on its social media channels for self-promotional purposes, unless the client requests confidentiality in writing and we agree to it.
  • Preliminary concepts, unused design directions, and working files not part of the final agreed deliverables remain the property of Kankei Studio.

7. Photography-specific terms

  • Unless otherwise agreed in writing, photography usage rights granted to the client are limited to the purposes stated in the Project Agreement (e.g. website, social media, print).
  • Kankei Studio retains copyright in all photographs produced, and may use them for portfolio and self-promotional purposes as set out in Section 6.
  • Where a shoot involves identifiable people, the client is responsible for ensuring appropriate model releases or consents are in place, unless Kankei Studio has agreed to arrange these as part of the project scope.

8. Cancellation and termination

  • Either party may terminate a project with written notice if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to remedy it within [insert period, e.g. 14 days] of being notified.
  • If a client cancels a confirmed project, any deposit paid is non-refundable, and the client will be invoiced for work completed up to the point of cancellation.
  • Kankei Studio reserves the right to decline or discontinue a project where, in our reasonable judgment, the working relationship or requested content is inappropriate or unworkable.

9. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, technical, or personal information shared during the course of a project, except where disclosure is required by law or already permitted under these Terms (e.g. portfolio use).

10. Limitation of liability

  • Kankei Studio will perform services with reasonable skill and care but does not guarantee specific business outcomes (e.g. sales, traffic, or engagement) resulting from our work.
  • To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from a project is limited to the amount paid by the client for that project.
  • We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for delays or failures caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control (see Section 11).

11. Force majeure

Kankei Studio is not liable for delays or failure to perform obligations caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including illness, technical failure, or other unforeseeable events.

12. Third-party tools and platforms

Projects may involve third-party tools, platforms, or hosting providers (e.g. website hosting, stock imagery, plugins). Kankei Studio is not responsible for outages, policy changes, or costs imposed by third-party providers, though we will act reasonably to keep clients informed.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time a Project Agreement is confirmed will apply to that project.
