The following Terms and Conditions of service apply to all artwork, graphic design, print and services provided by KeGo Studios.
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 and expenses, 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 artwork created during the project upon full payment of the agreed fee.
Copyrights and Trademarks
By supplying text, images and other data to KeGo Studios for inclusion in the customer’s brochure or other medium, the customer declares that it holds the appropriate copyright and/or trademark permissions. The ownership of such materials will remain with the customer, or rightful copyright or trademark owner.
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.
Communication
By supplying images, text, or any other data to KeGo Studios the customer grants KeGo Studios permission to use this material freely in the pursuit of the design.The designer can be reached by telephone from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m and 5 p.m GMT. Skype/FaceTime chats are welcomed. The majority of designer/client communication is normally via email, helping both parties keep track of specific design requirements and potential changes.
Design Project Duration
Any indication given by KeGo Studios of a design project’s duration is to be considered by the client to be an estimation. KeGo Studios cannot be held responsible for any project over-runs, whatever the cause.
Payment Schedule
The client will make a 50 percent down payment prior to work commencing. The project can be scheduled once the down payment is received by the designer. The down payment is non-refundable. The remaining 50 percent is payable to the designer upon completion of the project and before original artwork is supplied to the client.
Delayed Payment
If the final invoice is not paid within 30 days, a 5 percent “delayed payment” fee will be charged. This initial 5 percent figure will be added upon each recurring 30-day period until the full amount has been received by the designer.
Cancellation
If, after project commencement, client communication (face-to-face,telephone, or email) stops for a period of 180 days, the project can be cancelled, in writing 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, with the fee based on the stage of project completion. The fee will not exceed 110 percent of the total project cost.
Miscellaneous
Samples:
The client shall provide the designer with samples of print design that result from the project deliverables. Such 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. The designer shall have the right to photograph all completed designs or installations and shall have the right to 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, arising out of, the work supplied by the designer.
