2.3 Strict No-Refund Policy: All payments made to Arena LLC are final and non-refundable. Once payment is submitted, no refunds will be offered or issued under any circumstances, regardless of whether the Client ultimately decides to keep, deploy, maintain, or dismantle the completed website.
3. Intellectual Property, Ownership Transfer & Portfolio Rights
3.1 Reservation of Rights: All initial mockups, design concepts, source code, and assets staged on Arena LLC's servers remain the exclusive property of Arena LLC until the client's account balance is paid in full.
