At StarkSouk, we believe in maintaining a professional and respectful process when an outsourcing partnership comes to an end. These guidelines apply to all external partners, including agencies, studios, and individual freelancers, to ensure a smooth and fair transition during the exit process.

1. Completion of Ongoing Projects

• All ongoing projects must be completed or handed over appropriately before the exit date.
• If completing the project is not possible within the notice period, you are required to provide detailed documentation and status updates to enable a seamless transition.
• Any materials, files, or assets related to the project should be properly organized and transferred to the designated StarkSouk representative.

2. Return of Company Assets

• If any company-owned hardware, software licenses, or tools have been provided during the partnership, they must be returned or deactivated by the exit date.
• Any shared credentials or access to company systems must be securely revoked.

3. Final Invoice Submission

• Your final invoice should be submitted within five business days after the completion of all project responsibilities.
• Ensure the invoice includes any outstanding payments for work completed up to the exit date.
• The invoice should be accurate and reflect the agreed-upon rates and payment terms outlined in the original contract.

4. Payment Terms

• Payments for the final invoice will be processed according to the standard payment terms outlined in the partnership agreement (typically within 15 days).

5. Confidentiality and Data Security

• All confidential information, client data, or project files must be permanently deleted from your systems after the completion of the handover unless otherwise agreed upon.
• Any ongoing confidentiality agreements remain in effect after the exit, and you are obligated to continue protecting sensitive company information as per the original contract.
