Intellectual Property
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
1. Ownership Rights
Upon receipt of full and final payment, you shall own all rights, title, and interest in and to the custom source code, designs, and deliverables created specifically and exclusively for your project. Until such payment is made in full, all rights to the code, designs, and deliverables shall remain vested with us, and you are granted no license or ownership rights. We retain all rights to any pre-existing intellectual property, tools, frameworks, or components used in the development process, which may be reused in other projects. Under no circumstances will any custom code or deliverables created for your project be shared with other clients.
2. License to Use
Upon full payment, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and operate the custom deliverables solely for your internal business purposes. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the deliverables to any third party without our prior written consent.
3. Third-Party Components
Your project may incorporate third-party software, libraries, frameworks, or services. Such components are governed by their respective licenses, and you agree to comply with all applicable terms and conditions. We are not responsible for any restrictions, limitations, or obligations imposed by such third-party licenses.
4. Portfolio Rights
We reserve the right to showcase the deliverables, or portions thereof, in our portfolio, presentations, case studies, and marketing materials for promotional purposes. Any use will credit your company appropriately, and we will obtain your prior written approval for detailed case studies or disclosures involving sensitive business information.
5. Infringement Claims
We represent and warrant that the custom deliverables created by us do not knowingly infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights. In the event of a valid infringement claim, we will, at our own expense, (a) defend or settle the claim, and (b) indemnify you for reasonable direct legal costs and damages awarded against you, provided that you promptly notify us of the claim and allow us to control the defense and settlement. This warranty does not extend to third-party components or to modifications made to the deliverables by you or any third party.
