Project Work

The Company reserves the right to change/alter ordered amounts in the Customer’s best interest.

Copright & IP

• The Company cannot guarantee the Customer exclusivity of any marketing concept, strategy, design or other intellectual property provided.

• It remains the Customer’s responsibility to seek copyright protection if desired for any creative/intellectual property provided to the Customer by the Company.

• All creative work produced (including words, pictures, ideas, visuals and illustrations) and devised during a project(s), creative, digital, software files and related correspondence remain the property – physically, intellectually and in copyright, of the Company unless specifically released in writing and after all release costs have been settled.
• If a choice of designs is presented as part of the creative process, only the chosen design is deemed to be given by us as fulfilling the contract. All other designs remain the property of the Company, unless specifically agreed in writing.
