Prices and fees

Individual contract model

Christophe Marchand negotiates the amount with each client individually. The agreements are based on given conditions, the type of contract and the amount of work and written records are made. Two kinds of fees are to be differentiated here:

The fee for the performed acts covers all provided services from the beginning of the collaboration to reaching the market-ready product. The scope of performance, goals, fees, payment schedules, dates project management, the team and responsibilities are recorded in the contract. Thus, defining rights and services in advance.

The contingency fee consists of per unit royalty based on the sales price. The granting of exclusive rights of use with right of transfer to third parties (world wide use) are possible and will be recorded on a separate license agreement.
