Copyright For Logos Created For Clients

On LXDesign receiving the final payment for a logo design in full the copyright to the design is automatically transferred to the client.

LXDesign retains the right to display logos created in an online or paper based portfolio.

All work supplied by LXDesign is believed to constitute original work, and is prepared in good faith that it does not infringe the rights of any other party. LXDesign cannot provide an absolute guarantee that any specific works do not infringe upon existing third-party rights, inadvertently, by coincidence or otherwise. LXDesign is unable to guarantee that any work supplied to the client is suitable for any particular purpose and would strongly recommend that the client conduct relevant research prior to the approval or use of any prepared work.

All preliminary work and materials produced by LXDesign for the purposes of developing any work remain the sole property of LXDesign (excluding any incorporated materials supplied by the client).

Any unauthorised usage of copyrighted materials created by LXDesign will be actively pursued through legal channels.

By approving any final work whether verbally or in writing, the Client assumes all responsibility for the subsequent usage of the chosen work.

LXDesign retains the right to re-use any original material that does not form part of any final approved work.

Examples of work

LXDesign may wish to use examples of developmental or final completed work prepared for the Client as a part of our future marketing materials. LXDesign may also wish to use relevant sections of correspondence attributed to the Client as reference or testimonial material. If the client provides in writing a request for such examples of work or correspondence not to be used, LXDesign will acknowledge the client’s request and refrain from using the material. If the material has already been printed or presented on the internet in some form then LXDesign reserves the right not to acknowledge the client’s request.

Time To Deliver Artwork

As LXDesign offer unlimited revisions on logos and stationery there can be no set time frame in which to deliver. LXDesign will however deliver the first logo concepts within 14 days or provide a refund and the project be cancelled. LXDesign does aim to provide the initial visual for logo design concepts within 4 business days but this is not guaranteed.

For other projects such as website design projects or graphic design projects initial visuals will be provided within 14 days or a refund will be provided and the project cancelled. No fixed time limit can be applied to website design or graphic design projects though due to an unknown amount of required amendments to a design or website.

Refunds

If a Client asks for a refund then a refund will be provided unless work has already begun on a project. Refunds will not be provided if the amount of studio time already spent on a project (charged at £35 per hour) exceeds the costs of any payments made. LXDesign may, at its discretion, offer a full or partial refund to the Client under certain circumstances where no formal right to refund exists.

Termination of order

The client is allowed to terminate the order, however, time spent upon a client’s order will still be collectable by LXDesign.

Explanations of Terminology Used:

Logo Concepts

A logo concept is definable as a logo design featuring one or more of the following:

Typography, Symbol, Icon, Illustration

The client has the right to ask for logo design concepts once an order has been placed and a deposit payment of a minimum of $150 has been paid.

LXDesign will create further logo concepts but may refuse to provide further logo concepts if more than 20 hours of studio time has been spent on a project. All design concepts will relate to one name specified by the client.

Client

A client is the individual, business or company that has requested any work to be provided by LXDesign.

Unlimited Revisions For Logo & Stationery Design Projects

LXDesign provide unlimited revisions for logo and stationery design projects. An unlimited number of revisions may be requested by a client and these revisions will be provided unless the total amount of time spent on a logo design or stationery design project exceeds 20 hours of studio time.

If a client requests further logo design concepts LXDesign will usually provide these unless a total amount of studio time exceeds 20 hours of studio time, at which point LXDesign reserves the right to refuse to provide further logo design concepts.

The client is expected to provide clear and detailed feedback on any logo design concepts when requesting further changes to allow LXDesign to work efficiently on the development of the client’s logo or stationery.

LXDesign encourages the client to take as much time as they need to deliver accurate feedback on a design. If LXDesign are unable to contact the client and the client does not contact LXDesign, then the order will expire after 37 days of no contact between the two parties.

Acceptance of a final work whether verbal or in writing shall be deemed to represent the final stage of the work process. Any subsequent work requested by the client in relation to the order may be separately chargeable at the discretion of LXDesign. In this circumstance any further fees will be advised to the Client in advance of the work being undertaken.

Websites Hosting

Website hosting can be provided to clients who require it. Standard Hosting for a website costs $100 per year but the first year of hosting may be offered to a client free of charge if this is included within a package or quotation.

If a client fails to pay for website hosting when asked by LXDesign the hosting account will expire and the hosting will be cancelled.

LXDesign will not be held responsible for any loss or damage sustained by the client as a result of a website being hosted as part of the service provided by LXDesign.

Domain Registration

Domains for use with a website can be registered by LXDesign for clients who require this.

The cost of one .com domain name is usually included within the hosting costs listed above but if a client requires more than one domain or requires a domain name other than a .com domain then these will be charged at an additional amount for which the client will receive a quotation for.

LXDesign will not be held responsible for any loss or damage sustained by the client as a result of a domain being registered as part of the service provided by LXDesign.

Amendments To Websites

If a client has ordered a content management (CMS) website then they will be able to make certain changes themselves to a website. If a client has not ordered a CMS website or requires changes to additional areas of a website that they need assistance with, such changes can be made at an additional cost. A quotation for this work will be provided to the client before any work is completed.

Damaged Websites

If a website provided by LXDesign fails or is damaged for any reason including technology fails, website hacks or viruses then LXDesign will attempt to resolve the issue for a client. No guarantee can be offered for repairing a damaged website though as the extent of the damage may be too great to resolve in extreme cases.

LXDesign does keep multiple backups of all websites to help resolve any issues with a damaged website but restoring backups can result in a loss of data in the form of pages or elements of a website created after the date of the creation of the most recent backup.

Updates To CMS Platforms

If a client wishes to update a particular CMS platform such as WordPress, Joomla!, etc this can be provided but if a website fails due to a website being incompatible with a newer version of a CMS platform then restoring an older version of a CMS platform may be the only resolve unless a client is willing to pay for additional developments to a website to allow compatibility between a website and a newer CMS platform.

Access To Clients Accounts

In certain situations clients may provide account details to LXDesign so that we may access a domain name or hosting account. This information will be treated as confidential. Clients should change any passwords provided to us once we have accessed an account for them so as to keep the account as secure as possible.

LXDesign will not be held responsible for any loss or damage sustained by the client as a result of LXDesign accessing a clients account as part of the service provided by LXDesign.

LXDesign Credit

As the websites we design for clients are our portfolio, we reserve the right to include a credit link back to the media-web.srl website from the websites that we design for clients. If clients do not want to show this link we can add an additional ‘website design information’ page to the website and simply link to this page form a sitemap. The link is then only included on 1 page (the website design information page) which is only linked to from the sitemap page. A credit link has to be added to the website so that we can prove to other potential clients that we have designed a particular website.

Email Accounts

As part of our hosting service the creation of up to 5 email accounts may be included. LXDesign will create these email accounts and provide setup details for clients but clients may need I.T support if technical issues are encountered with their email software.

LXDesign will not be held responsible for any loss or damage sustained by the client as a result of LXDesign providing a clients with any email accounts for personal or business use as part of the service provided by LXDesign.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

By using the LXDesign SEO services including any of the SEO packages on this website, the client understands and accepts that no compensation can be made for websites not showing for certain search results within the search engines such as Google. How the search engines display their results is beyond the control of LXDesign so no compensation can be paid in the event of a search engine no longer showing a particular website for a particular search term.

LXDesign offers a refund if no improvements can be seen from any of the SEO packages / campaigns. If LXDesign are unable to show any improvements through statistics / data taken from SEOMoz, Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools or recorded website visit statistics then the refund will be provided. The refund on any SEO services cannot exceed more than 3 months worth of SEO. If a client has reordered any of the SEO packages / SEO services a full refund cannot be provided on all previous SEO orders. The refund will only ever apply to a maximum of 1 SEO order not all of the SEO orders combined. So if one SEO order fails to provide search engine improvements then a refund will be provided on that order only and not for any previous orders where improvements in search results had been shown or existed at any time.

The client also understands and accepts that improvements in rankings are in no way guaranteed over any given length of time due to the search engines such as Google changing the way in which they choose to rank website results. LXDesign has no control over such changes so cannot provide a guarantee on such results.

Thank you for taking the time to read the above terms and conditions.
