§ 3. Turnkey Service Implementation Process (Custom Scenarios)

Realization of each custom (turnkey) project is based on a 5-stage process:

• Stage I – Brief and consultations: Gathering guidelines from the Client, determining the square footage of the premises, preferred theme, prop budget, and target audience.

• Stage III – Puzzle design: Development of the full logical sequence, puzzle descriptions, and mechanisms.
• Stage IV – Verification and revisions: Handing over the draft version of the scenario to the Client. The Client is entitled to free revision pools within the scope specified in the agreement. Failure to submit comments within 14 days of providing the materials is considered acceptance of a given stage.

• Stage III – Final documentation: Delivery of the ready, complete scenario in electronic form within the scope specified by the agreement.

§ 5. Copyrights and Confidentiality (NDA)

1. All rights to the created concepts, until fully paid for, remain the property of Fox Locks.

2. Custom Scenarios (Turnkey): In the case of the full implementation of a personalized scenario, after the full remuneration is paid, the Contractor transfers all economic copyrights to the created scenario in full to the Client. From this moment, the Client has the right to freely use the scenario, including duplicating it in any number of their locations. The effective transfer of economic rights shall take place under a separate agreement concluded in writing under pain of nullity.

3. Ready-Made Scenarios (Catalog): In the case of purchasing a ready-made scenario, after the full remuneration is paid, the Contractor does not transfer the copyrights but grants the Client an exclusive license to use the scenario within the territory of the Client's country of operation (e.g., Poland). The Contractor retains the full right to resell licenses for the same scenario to entities operating in other countries. The effective granting of the exclusive license shall take place under a separate agreement concluded in writing under pain of nullity.

4. Both parties are bound by a confidentiality clause (NDA) – the Client may not share technical and story documentation with third parties (except for subcontractors building the room under the granted license or transferred rights), and the Contractor shall not disclose the Client's business details.

§ 6. Remuneration and Payment Terms

1. The pricing of each project is individual, depending on the complexity of the scenario and the size of the room. The amount given in ready-made scenarios is an estimated price.

2. The basis for starting work is the payment of a deposit by the Client in the gross amount specified in the agreement.

3. The remaining part of the remuneration is payable after the final documentation is delivered by the Contractor. In case of extending the agreement with installation services or delivery of physical elements, the schedule and payment terms for these stages are defined separately by the agreement.

4. In the event of the Client's cancellation during the work, the paid deposit is non-refundable, which constitutes compensation for the time spent on the conceptual process.

§ 7. Liability

1. The Contractor is responsible for the logical consistency of the scenario and the theoretical feasibility of the puzzles.

2. The Contractor is not responsible for:

• a. The final visual effect and physical execution of elements by the Client's subcontractors,
• b. Issues related to the safety (OSH, Fire Protection) of the finished premises. The obligation to adapt the room to legal and fire brigade requirements (e.g., adding safety/evacuation buttons) lies solely with the Client,
• c. Equipment damage during the operation of the room, mechanical damage, actions of third parties, damage resulting from incorrect installation by the Client or third parties, or the use of excessive force by players. The warranty terms for the delivered electronic modules are determined by an individual agreement.

§ 8. Final Provisions

1. In matters not covered by these Terms of Service, the provisions of the Polish Civil Code shall apply, in particular the provisions on the contract for specific work and copyright law.

2. Any disputes arising from the provision of services shall be resolved amicably, and in the absence of an agreement, by the court competent for the Contractor's registered office.
