Terms of Service

Effective date: April 27, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using the website at motionhive.com or engaging Motion Hive LLC (“Motion Hive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for creative production services. By accessing the Site or entering into a project agreement with us, you (“Client” or “you”) agree to be bound by these Terms.


1. Services

Motion Hive provides B2B creative production services including but not limited to 3D product rendering, lifestyle rendering, technical animation, explainer graphics, and interactive 3D/AR asset production. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for each engagement are defined in a written project agreement, statement of work (SOW), or proposal accepted by both parties (“Project Agreement”).

These Terms apply to all use of the Site and to all Project Agreements unless a separate written contract expressly supersedes them.

2. Acceptance and Eligibility

You represent that you are at least 18 years of age, have the legal authority to enter into a binding agreement on behalf of yourself or your organization, and will use our services only for lawful business purposes.

3. Project Agreements and Approvals

Work begins upon written confirmation of a Project Agreement and receipt of any required deposit. Client-provided assets (CAD files, brand guidelines, reference images) must be delivered by the agreed date. Delays caused by late asset delivery may result in revised timelines at no fault of Motion Hive.

Each deliverable phase includes a defined number of revision rounds as specified in the Project Agreement. Revisions beyond the included rounds will be scoped and billed separately. Written client approval at each milestone constitutes acceptance of that stage of work.

4. Payment Terms

  • A deposit (percentage specified in the Project Agreement) is due before work commences.
  • Remaining balances are due upon delivery of final files or as otherwise specified in the Project Agreement.
  • Invoices not paid within 30 days of the due date accrue interest at 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower).
  • Motion Hive reserves the right to withhold delivery of final files until payment is received in full.
  • All fees are in US dollars unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5. Intellectual Property

Client-Provided Materials

You retain all ownership rights in materials you provide to us (CAD files, logos, brand assets, etc.). You grant Motion Hive a non-exclusive license to use these materials solely for the purpose of performing the contracted services.

Deliverables

Upon receipt of full payment, Motion Hive assigns to Client all rights, title, and interest in the final deliverables specified in the Project Agreement, including copyright, to the extent permitted by law. Motion Hive retains ownership of all underlying tools, templates, pre-existing assets, proprietary workflows, and intermediate work product not included in the agreed deliverables.

Portfolio Rights

Unless the Client requests otherwise in writing prior to project commencement, Motion Hive reserves the right to display finished deliverables in its portfolio, case studies, and promotional materials.

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection with a project (“Confidential Information”) and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent. This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law. Upon request or project completion, each party will return or destroy the other’s Confidential Information.

7. Warranties and Representations

Client represents and warrants that:

  • All materials provided to Motion Hive are owned by Client or Client has the right to use them for the purposes of this engagement.
  • Use of Client-provided materials will not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.
  • The deliverables, as used by Client, will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

Motion Hive warrants that services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. Motion Hive does not warrant that deliverables will be error-free or meet any specific technical specification not expressly agreed in the Project Agreement.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Motion Hive’s total liability to Client for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or any Project Agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by Client to Motion Hive in the three (3) months immediately preceding the claim.

In no event shall Motion Hive be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

9. Indemnification

Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Motion Hive and its officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (a) Client’s use of the deliverables; (b) Client-provided materials infringing third-party rights; or (c) Client’s breach of these Terms.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate a Project Agreement with written notice if the other party materially breaches the agreement and fails to cure the breach within 14 days of written notice. In the event of termination, Client is responsible for fees for all work completed up to the termination date. Deposits are non-refundable unless Motion Hive terminates without cause.

11. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government actions, power outages, or internet disruptions, provided the affected party notifies the other promptly and uses reasonable efforts to resume performance.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute not resolved informally within 30 days shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

13. Modifications

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes become effective upon posting to the Site. Your continued use of the Site or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance. For active Project Agreements, the Terms in effect at the time the agreement was executed govern that engagement.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable Project Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter herein and supersede all prior discussions, representations, or agreements. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
