Rights and ownership

Rights: All services provided by the designer shall be for the exclusive use of the client other than for the KC Logo’s promotional use. Upon payment of all fees, the following reproduction rights for all approved final designs created by KC Logos 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 final artwork created during the project upon full payment of the agreed fees.

Payment schedule

Delayed payment
If, after the project has commenced, subsequent invoices are 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 KC Logos.

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 KC Logos, 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 100 percent of the total project cost.

Miscellaneous

Samples: Whenever possible we ask the client to provide KC Logos with samples of print design that result from the project deliverables. Such samples shall be representative of the highest quality of work produced. KC Logos may use such copies and samples for publication, exhibition, or other promotional purposes.  Promotion helps both parties.

KC Logos 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 KC Logos 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 KC Logos 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.

Consensus

A document containing the above terms and conditions will be supplied via email along with the first invoice. Acceptance should be stated in an email reply.
