Terms and Conditions
OWNERSHIP AND LICENSES
Client Owns All Work Product.
As part of this job, the Studio is creating a “work product” for the Client. To avoid confusion, the work product is the finished product, as well as drafts, notes, materials, mockups, hardware, designs, inventions, patents, code, and anything else that The Studio works on —that is, conceives, creates, designs, develops, invents, works on, or reduces to practice —as part of this project, whether before the date of this Contract or after. The Studio hereby gives the Client this work product once the Client pays for it in full. This means The Studio is giving the Client all its rights, titles, and interests in and to the work product (including intellectual property rights), and the Client will be the sole owner of it. The Client can use the work product however they want, or they can decide not to use the work product at all. The Client, for example, can modify, destroy, or sell it, as they see fit.
Studio’s Use of Work Product.
Once the Studio gives the work product to the Client, the Studio does not have any rights to it, except those that the Client explicitly gives the Studio here. The Client gives permission to use the work product as part of portfolios and websites, in galleries, and in other media, so long as it is to showcase the work and not for any other purpose. The Client does not give permission to sell or otherwise use the work product to make money or for any other commercial use. The Client is not allowed to take back this license, even after the Contract ends.
COMPETITIVE ENGAGEMENTS
The Studio won’t work for a direct competitor of the Client until this Contract ends. To avoid confusion, a direct competitor is any third party that develops, manufactures, promotes, sells, licenses distributes, or provides products or services that are substantially like the Client’s products or services, located in the same geographical area. The one exception to this restriction is if the Studio asks for permission beforehand and the Client agrees to it in writing.
