CORIT may also require outstanding balances to be paid before resuming work or delivering certain project assets.

The client is responsible for reviewing and approving deliverables in a timely manner.

Once a deliverable has been approved, subsequent changes may be treated as additional work if they fall outside the agreed scope.

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated in a written agreement, intellectual property ownership will be handled according to the applicable project agreement.
