3. Rights and Ownership

Rights

All services provided by the designer shall be for the exclusive use of the client other than for the designer’s promotional use. Upon payment of all fees, the following reproduction rights for all approved final designs created by the designer for this project shall be granted:

• Client to gain full transferable rights to brand identity.
• Client to gain full license to reproduce works through commercial printers.

Ownership

The client shall be entitled to full ownership of all final artwork created during the project upon full payment of the agreed fee. Files to be turned over will include all necessary items to reproduce final approved artwork. Files will be delivered digitally using methods such as cloud storage (e.g., Dropbox, Box). The client is responsible for creating and maintaining these services.

Third Party Contracts

The designer may contract with other creative professionals to provide services such as web development, photography, and illustration. Any third-party terms and conditions will include full reproduction rights for the client. Where such contracting adds to the project cost, the client will first be asked for permission to proceed. No project will commence on the assumption that third parties might be required for project completion. Such details will be finalized prior to project commencement, unless requested by the client at a later date.

4. Delayed Payment

If, after the project has commenced, subsequent invoices are not paid within 30 days, a 5% “delayed payment” fee will be charged. This initial 5% figure will be added upon each recurring 30-day period until the full amount has been received by the designer. All discounts will be revoked upon failure to secure payment within 60 days, and the adjusted total final payment amount will include the balance plus removal of any discounts and the 5% “delayed payment” fee.

5. Cancellation

If after project commencement client communication (face-to-face, telephone, or email) stops for a period of 180 days, the project will be cancelled automatically by the designer, and ownership of all copyrights shall be retained by the designer. A cancellation fee for work completed shall be paid by the client, based on the stage of project completion. The fee will not exceed 100% of the total project cost, excluding discounts or promotional rates.

6. Miscellaneous

Samples

The client shall provide the designer with samples of print design that result from the project deliverables. These samples shall be representative of the highest quality of work produced. The designer may use such copies and samples for publication, exhibition, or other promotional purposes.

Photographs

The designer shall have the right to photograph all completed designs or installations and use such photographs for publication, exhibition, or other promotional purposes.

Confidentiality

The client shall inform the designer in writing before the project commences if any portion of any material or information provided by the client or if any portion of the project is confidential.

Indemnity

The client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the designer from any and all claims, demands, losses, causes of action, damage, lawsuits, judgments, including attorneys’ fees and costs, but only to the extent caused by or arising out of the work supplied by the designer.

7. Standard Rates

All terms are based on the standard rates. Any and all discounts will be removed upon failure to remit payments within 60 days, and full pricing will be applied to the total work performed.
