The Company shall not be held liable for project delays, missed launch windows, or budget overruns arising from the Client's failure to provide access, assets, or feedback in a timely manner. If a project is stalled for more than thirty (30) consecutive days due to client inaction, the Company reserves the right to invoice for all completed work and pause the project indefinitely.
