Whereas you are the “client” and April Sadowski (Aibrean’s Studio) is the “designer”. Whereas the “Date” is the time of purchase from the store on this website.This Contract shall remain effective until the Services are completed and delivered.ESTIMATE AND CHANGES: In the event the scope of the project should change beyond what was originally discussed and proposed, all additional work will be quoted on based upon a rate outlined via email (including but not limited to, other design, excessive modifications and additions). Estimate does not include excessive revision time and is subject to change. CLIENT may be billed for stock photography/illustration if needed in the layout of the website which is not included in the estimate as they may/may not be necessary. The stock photography/illustration will not be used and billed unless first approved by CLIENT.

CONSULTATION: Phone/Skype calls accumulated on a project in excess of 15 minutes will be charged at a rate of $15/hr (quarter-hour increments). On-site meetings (i.e. in-person) are billed at $15/hr and billable time will commence when DESIGNER is on the premises of the meeting destination. Billable time will end at the end of the business discussion. These fees are required as the DESIGNER is not able to work on other projects at this time. These charges will only be applied if applicable and are not billed if initiated by DESIGNER. The initial consultation is complimentary if lasting one hour or less. If the initial consultation lasts more the one hour, the additional time will be added to the project cost.

LIMITATIONS ON CONCEPTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY: CLIENT agrees not to manufacture, sell, deal in, or otherwise use or appropriate concepts in any way whatsoever, including but not limited to adaptation, imitation, redesign, or modification. CLIENT understands and agrees that disclosure of concepts to others would irreparably damage the DESIGNER. As consideration, the CLIENT will keep secret and hold in confidence any properties not deemed final art. Concepts (if applicable) not attached to the integrity of the CLIENT branding may be sold to other clients. CLIENT account information is held in confidence and will not be released. DESIGNER assumes all material is confidential unless released to the public. DESIGNER may show concepts to DESIGNER AGENTS (see below) if required or needed to complete Services.

STOCK:
CLIENT may be billed for fonts and other resources (“stock”) if needed in development of the logo and business card design. The stock will not be used and billed unless first approved by CLIENT. DESIGNER will not use clipart or other premade illustrations in the use of the logo design or use in such a way that would knowingly violate the terms and policies of the given stock company.

PAYMENT: Should the CLIENT repeal the project before completion, the DESIGNER is due for services rendered if service costs exceed the payment originally made (i.e. if there were excessive revisions or changes exceeding item description on this site catalog) and will issue a $100 inconvenience fee.  CLIENT will have no rights to files in this case and will receive no files.  Should the CLIENT not compensate for services or make void the project as specified in this contract, the DESIGNER is authorized to summon legal action to acquire payment according to the laws of the State of Ohio. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Xenia, Ohio. The CLIENT assumes all responsibility for fees resulting in the neglect of payment, including but not limited to: lawyer fees, court costs, postage fees, and bounced check fees.

DEADLINES: If the DESIGNER has had no progress with the project (this does not mean communication with the client) at the fault of the CLIENT for 60 days or more after project commences, the DESIGNER will void the project, issue a $100 inconvenience fee plus applicable design fees. (Example: The client approves layout but not does give DESIGNER any materials for interior pages for 60+ days. The project is thus at a stand-still. The design fees are only applicable if they exceed the item description defined on this site catalog.) The CLIENT will not be entitled to any work or rights to work, regardless of payment already made or services already rendered in the case of a project kill or lack of progress. The DESIGNER must be notified at least two weeks in advance of any deadlines for the project. If any design is needed within two weeks (including weekends), a rush cost of +50% of project cost will be issued (including “emergency design”) as a separate fee. The DESIGNER is not responsible for work that is delayed due to lack of response on the part of the CLIENT or late due to a lack of deadline specification.

The cost for obtaining full Copyright for any other medium/category is subject to an additional +100% of the project cost, excluding any and all discounts.

All source art files (“working files”) created by DESIGNER will not be included but can be purchased at +100% of the project cost (pre-Copyright cost).

DESIGNER may display variations of final art such as preferred concepts.

USAGE: If CLIENT does not purchase Copyright transfer, CLIENT is issued exclusive reuse rights for original design and DESIGNER will own full copyright. These usage rights grant the CLIENT to use the design in a fixed medium.

The CLIENT will receive no files or license to use any art. If CLIENT is found to be breaching copyright, trademark, patent, or any other laws and terms or policies of third parties, DESIGNER will have the ability to reference this moral clause and cease work as indicated within it.
