9. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) & Digital Assets
Acquiring an NFT minted or designed by The Edit Studio Services grants the holder cryptographic proof of ownership of the token metadata. Unless explicitly stated in smart contracts, NFT ownership does not automatically convey underlying commercial copyright or trademark rights.

Timely completion of creative projects depends on prompt client feedback and asset provision. Delays exceeding 30 consecutive business days due to client inaction may result in project archiving and reactivation fees.
14. Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure
Both parties agree to treat proprietary information, business data, and unreleased product roadmaps as confidential, exercising reasonable care to prevent unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
15. Promotional Rights & Portfolio Credit
The Edit Studio Services reserves the right to showcase completed works, case studies, and brand artifacts in our agency portfolio, awards submissions, and digital channels, unless an exclusive NDA prohibits publication.
