Usage Restrictions
Agreement Restrictions
This agreement does not grant you the right or permission to use, modify, alter, replicate, or borrow any previous ideas, concepts, or sketches we present. All original preparation materials, sketches, visuals, and unused ideas remain the property of Well Designed.
Unused concepts or designs may be reused or adapted for future projects and client work. If a previous unused idea closely resembles the final logo, it will be modified to ensure the result is sufficiently different to avoid any conflict.
Unless otherwise agreed, we reserve the right to showcase the finalized logo and related designs in our portfolio, online galleries, exhibitions, award submissions, and printed publications. Related designs may include business cards, stationery, signage, app icons, or other supporting artwork created for the project.
You are free to alter, modify, or adapt the finalized logo design at your own discretion, but you do so at your own risk.
Payment Terms
Deposits, Final Payments, and Delivery
We reserve the right to request a 10%, 25%, or 50% deposit before starting work on your project. If a deposit is required, an invoice will be sent via email, and payment is expected within 30 days of the issue date. Payment of the deposit constitutes acceptance of these terms and forms a contract with Well Designed.
The remaining balance of the project costs will be invoiced before the delivery of any final files. We reserve the right to withhold delivery until payment is received in full. If you have been unresponsive for over 30 days, we may invoice the outstanding balance earlier than scheduled.
You may request a payment plan, subject to approval. All payment plans must be agreed upon in writing. Payments are due within 30 days of the invoice issue date. Unpaid accounts exceeding 30 days may be subject to additional fees for collection processes.
Ownership & Copyright
All preparation materials, sketches, visuals, and electronic files used in creating the project remain the property of Well Designed. The final artwork and digital files become your property only after final payment is received.
If payment is not received as agreed, all designs and concepts remain the property of Well Designed. In such cases, we reserve the right to reuse or repurpose these ideas for other clients or display them in our portfolio.
If a client attempts to use, modify, or replicate any of our designs without completing the agreed payment, legal action will be taken.
Ownership of Proposals & Concepts
Ownership of Presentation Materials
All design proposals, concept presentations, and related materials, whether provided for free or for payment, remain the exclusive property of Well Designed. This includes all sketches, mockups, graphical elements, and text proposals presented as part of the project.
Intellectual Property Rights
- All intellectual property rights to design proposals and materials belong to Well Designed and are not transferred upon presentation to the client.
- The client may not use, copy, modify, distribute, or reproduce any materials without our written consent.
Unauthorized Use
If a client uses any presented design proposals without permission, this constitutes a violation of copyright laws. We reserve the right to take legal action and seek compensation, including the full cost of the material and any additional legal fees.
Cancellation or Project Termination
If you choose to cancel the project mid-way, no refunds will be provided for prior payments. Depending on the work completed, a portion of the budget may be refunded.
If we are unable to complete the project due to unforeseen circumstances, we will refund a portion or the entire amount, based on the work completed.
We reserve the right to pause or terminate a project due to excessive micromanagement, lack of trust, or failure to pay the final balance. Termination will not result in refunds, and all designs remain the property of Well Designed.
Trademark & Copyright
We cannot assist with trademark registration or copyright searches. It is your responsibility to ensure the legality of your business name or product before the project begins.
If legal issues arise regarding the name or logo after project completion, we are not liable for any associated costs or damages.
Typography & Font Licensing
Licensing of Fonts Used
Any fonts purchased for the final logo and/or supporting brand identity materials are subject to commercial licensing laws. A font license grants full rights to the licensee to use the font as needed. In our initial presentation of concepts, we will provide information about the fonts used and where they can be obtained. It is the client’s responsibility to acquire any necessary font licenses (paid or unpaid), so please take this into account when approving the designs.
It is illegal for us to provide a client with a "copy" of any font we own and have personally purchased. If you wish to use a copy of a font we have purchased for commercial use, you must purchase the respective font license and register it in your name.
Usually, no license is needed for a font used in a logo, as the text is converted to vector graphics and is no longer editable. However, if you need a font for your own design purposes, such as a website or printed materials, you must acquire your own license via a desktop license purchase. These can typically be found on:
- Fontspring
- MyFonts
- Fonts.com
- Type Network
Force Majeure
If we fail to fulfill any obligation due to events beyond our control (natural disasters, governmental actions, war, etc.), this will not constitute a breach of these terms.
Limitation of Liability
You agree that Well Designed is not legally responsible for any loss or damage arising from the use of our services. This includes errors, omissions, or reliance on third-party materials.
All designs presented will be original and, to the best of our knowledge, will not infringe on existing work. However, we do not take legal responsibility for any disputes arising from originality or authenticity.
It is your responsibility to conduct due diligence to verify originality.
