The entire risk as to the quality, and performance, of the product(s), service(s), and/or good(s) provided to the client, is with the client.

OWNERSHIP OF SERVICE(S)

Upon completion of the commissioned services, and payment of all service fees, the client is the owner of the commissioned work. The client may continue to use the commissioned work to promote the client’s entity, company, or organization, regardless of whether they choose to continue further services with our company. However, the client does NOT have the right to resell any intellectual property belonging to our company, to other companies, and/or to any other third-party entities. The client has the right to add on to the existing commissioned work or have another company and/or third-party entity add on to the existing commissioned work without any further royalties and/or restrictions. Secondary materials created by our company during production work, including, but not limited to, drafts, plans, graphic source files, and templates, remain the sole property of our company unless otherwise stated, or provisions made available.

TERMINATION OF SERVICES

If the client changes their mind about doing business with our company during the initial development phase, the client will be responsible for the amount of work already completed. Depending upon the amount of work completed, at the time of the cancellation, this may mean receiving a full refund, a partial refund, no refund, or owing additional fees. To protect clients from unintentional service interruption, clients wishing to terminate any services must request the service termination, in writing, (15) days before the last day of service(s). There will be a (15) day holding period, in which the client is responsible for full payment(s) owed.

NON-COMMUNICATION

If we are unable to communicate with the client of a project for at least thirty (30) calendar days by phone (e.g., voice call, text messaging, or WhatsApp IM service) or email during the initial design and development process, the project will be canceled without prior notice and no refund will be issued.
