9 General Conditions

All preparation materials, sketches, visuals, including the electronic files used to create the project remain the property of Landson Studios. The final artwork/digital files will become the property of the client mentioned in this proposal ONLY upon final payment of the project.

It cannot be stressed enough that if final payment is NOT received as agreed and set out in the initial proposal, all designs and concepts will remain the property of Landson Studios until payment is received. If there are issues with the final payment, Landson Studios then reserve the right to reuse or amend any of these ideas for other clients or to be used freely as concepts in our portfolio.

Should the client attempt to use/modify/alter/replicate or steal any of my ideas without making agreed final payment, Landson Studios will take immediate legal counsel.

Landson Studios reserves the right to show any artwork, ideas, sketches created for this project in a portfolio as examples of client work. This can be during the project and also on completion. If you have any specific secrecy requirements, please mention this before agreeing to the proposal.

Final payment ensures that ONLY the agreed design becomes the clients property. Any previous ideas/ concepts remain the property of Landson Studios, unless any prior agreement has been made.

Landson Studios reserve the right to suspend any project if a client: interferes with excessive micromanaging, demonstrates a continued lack of trust and inability to move forward after showing more than a reasonable number of unique logo ideas/concepts and/or shows reluctance in paying the final payment.

Fair notice will be given with fair chance to remedy the situation without resorting to project suspension or termination. Any suspension or termination will not result in any refunds.

If you (the client) choose to cancel the project midway through the project, where ideas and proposals have been submitted, refund of previous payment is not possible. However, depending on the work completed and overall budget, a portion of the funds ‘may’ be returned.

If Landson Studios are unable to complete the project due to unforeseen circumstances, a portion of the overall budget will be returned. In most cases the complete amount will be refunded. If the work so far completed can be used for another designer to pick up, then a percentage will be refunded based on work completed or any other reasonable suggestion will be considered.
