Payment Terms
Deposits, Final Payments, and Delivery
At EXIT99 Design Studio, we prioritize clarity and mutual trust. We may request a deposit of up to 50% prior to commencing work on your project. Upon request, an invoice will be sent to you via email, with payment expected within the timeframe stated. By remitting the deposit, you agree to these Terms of Service and formally engage in a contractual relationship with EXIT99 Design Studio.
Before delivering any final files or exports, we will invoice for the remaining project balance. Please note that we reserve the right to withhold the delivery of completed work until the final payment is settled in full.
Should communication lapse for over 15 days, we reserve the right to issue an invoice ahead of schedule. Additionally, unpaid accounts exceeding 15 days may incur fees related to collection and recovery, which will be passed on to the client.
Font & Typeface Licensing
In every project, we carefully select fonts and typefaces to enhance your brand identity. However, it’s important to note that the use of fonts and typefaces is governed by commercial licensing laws.
Any fonts purchased for your project will be licensed solely to you. In our initial design presentation, we will inform you of the fonts used and where licenses can be acquired. It is your responsibility to obtain the appropriate licenses for any fonts incorporated into your designs.
Please be advised that it is illegal for EXIT99 Design Studio to provide copies of licensed fonts that we own. If you would like to use a font we have licensed, you will need to purchase the necessary commercial license in your name.
For logos, fonts are often converted to vector graphics and may not require licensing. However, if you need a font for further usage (such as in print or web design), a desktop license will be required.
Intellectual Property Rights & Creative Ownership
These Terms of Service do not grant the client permission to alter, modify, or reuse any concepts, designs, or ideas presented during the project that were not selected for final delivery. All preliminary work, including sketches, concepts, and visual drafts, remains the intellectual property of EXIT99 Design Studio.
We reserve the right to reuse or adapt any unused concepts for future projects or clients. In cases where similar designs are reused, they will be reworked to ensure uniqueness and avoid conflicts.
Unless otherwise agreed, EXIT99 Design Studio retains the right to showcase completed projects and associated designs in our portfolio, as well as in online galleries, design showcases, printed literature, and awards submissions. This may include, but is not limited to, commercial print designs, business stationery, signage, desktop icons, and mobile application imagery.
If confidentiality or non-disclosure is required, please notify us prior to the start of the project to accommodate such requests.
Ownership & Copyright
All preliminary work, including sketches, drafts, visuals, and electronic files created during the project, remains the property of EXIT99 Design Studio. Final deliverables will become the property of the client only upon receipt of full and final payment.
Should the final payment remain outstanding, EXIT99 Design Studio retains full ownership of all designs and reserves the right to reuse or modify the concepts for future use. Any unauthorized use or modification of our work without full payment may result in immediate legal action.
Upon completion and payment, only the agreed-upon final deliverables (e.g., logo design) become the property of the client. All other unused concepts remain the intellectual property of EXIT99 Design Studio unless otherwise agreed.
Trademark & Copyright Compliance
EXIT99 Design Studio is not responsible for trademark, copyright, or legal name searches. If you require trademark registration for your logo or other designs, we recommend seeking independent legal advice to guide you through the process.
Brand Naming & Legal Responsibility
It is the client’s sole responsibility to ensure that their chosen company or product name is legally available before the commencement of work. We are not responsible for any legal disputes or issues that arise regarding the name’s availability after the project is completed. Any necessary changes to the name during the project may incur additional costs and lead to delays.
Please ensure that any name you plan to use has undergone the appropriate legal checks and does not infringe on existing trademarks or business names.
Project Cancellation & Refunds
If, for any reason, you decide to cancel the project after we have begun work and concepts or ideas have been submitted, refunding the deposit may not be possible. However, we are willing to evaluate the situation and potentially refund a portion of the payment based on the work completed.
In the rare case that EXIT99 Design Studio cannot complete the project due to unforeseen circumstances, we will refund a portion of the project cost, or in some cases, the full amount, depending on the status of the work.
Project Suspension
We value collaborative partnerships, but in cases where excessive micromanagement or a lack of trust prevents progress, we reserve the right to suspend the project. Reasonable notice will be given, along with an opportunity to remedy the situation before suspension. Please note, no refunds will be provided if a project is suspended, and all work completed up to that point remains the property of EXIT99 Design Studio.
Force Majeure
EXIT99 Design Studio will not be held liable for delays or failure to fulfill our obligations under these Terms of Service due to events beyond our control, such as natural disasters, governmental actions, acts of terrorism, war, material shortages, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we will notify you promptly and resume work once the force majeure event has concluded.
Limitation of Liability
EXIT99 Design Studio is not responsible for any loss or damage that may arise from the use of our services, including amendments, omissions, or errors in any materials, designs, or information we provide. This includes the use of third-party content, links, or advertisements. All materials provided by EXIT99 Design Studio are to be used at your own risk.
While we ensure that our designs are original, we cannot guarantee that they are entirely free from unintentional similarities or potential copyright issues. We recommend that clients perform their own checks and due diligence to confirm originality and legal compliance. Should you have concerns about plagiarism or originality, please bring them to our attention before commencing the project.
Changes to Terms and Conditions
We reserve the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms or any policy, at any time and in our sole discretion. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the revisions on our website. Your continued use of our services following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
