  1. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSES.

    2.1 Client Owns All Work Product.

    As part of this job, the Designer(s) is creating a “work product” for the Client. To avoid confusion, the work product is the finished product, not including drafts, notes, materials, mock-ups, hardware, designs, inventions, patents, code, and anything else that the Designer(s) works on— that is, conceives, creates, designs, develops, invents, works on, or reduces to practice—as part of this project, whether before the date of this Contract or after. The Designer(s) hereby gives the Client this work product once the Client pays for it in full. This means the Designer(s) is giving the Client all of its rights, titles, and interests in and to the work product (including intellectual property rights), and the Client will be the sole owner of it. However, accreditation must be given on all social media platforms such as but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter when work product is posted to The Clients accounts or associated social accounts. The Client can use the work product however it wants or it can decide not to use the work product at all. The Client, for example, can modify, destroy, or sell work product, as it sees fit, however, if The Client chooses to sell the work product as merchandise in any way; hoodies, t-shirts, etc, compensation percentages to The Designer(s) must be discussed and agreed upon in writing prior to product distribution. The Client however may not distribute work as an NFT(Non-Fungible Token), unless The Designer(s) are compensated with 35% of Net NFT(Non-Fungible Token) Sales.

    Designer(s)’s Use Of Work Product. Once the Designer(s) gives the work product to the Client, the Designer(s) does not have any rights to it, except those that the Client explicitly gives the Designer(s) here. The Client gives permission to use the work product as part of portfolios and websites, in galleries, and in other media, so long as it is to showcase the work and not for any other purpose. The Client does not give permission to sell or otherwise use the work product to make money or for any other commercial use. The Client is not allowed to take back this license, even after the Contract ends.

    2.2 Designer(s)’s Help Securing Ownership.

    In the future, the Client may need the Designer(s)’s help to show that the Client owns the work product or to complete the transfer. The Designer(s) agrees to help with that. For example, the Designer(s) may have to sign a patent application. The Client will pay any required expenses for this. If the Client can’t find the Designer(s), the Designer(s) agrees that the Client can act on the Designer(s)’s behalf to accomplish the same thing. The following language gives the Client that right: if the Client can’t find the Designer(s) after spending reasonable effort trying to do so, the Designer(s) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Client as the Designer(s)’s agent and attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for the Designer(s) and on the Designer(s)’s behalf to execute, verify, and file the required documents and to take any other legal action to accomplish the purposes of paragraph 2.1 (Client Owns All Work Product).

    2.3 Designer(s)’s IP That Is Not Work Product.

    During the course of this project, the Designer(s) might use intellectual property that the Designer(s) owns or has licensed from a third party, but that does not qualify as “work product.” This is called “background IP.” Possible examples of background IP are preexisting code, type fonts, properly-licensed stock photos, and web application tools. The Designer(s) is not giving the Client this background IP. But, as part of the Contract, the Designer(s) is giving the Client a right to use and license (with the right to sub-license) the background IP to develop, market, sell, and support the Client’s products and services. The Client may use this background IP worldwide and free of charge, but it cannot transfer its rights to the background IP (except as allowed in Section 11.1 (Assignment)). The Client cannot sell or license the background IP separately from its products or services. The Designer(s) cannot take back this grant, and this grant does not end when the Contract is over.

    2.4 Designer(s)’s Right To Use Client IP.

    The Designer(s) may need to use the Client’s intellectual property to do its job. For example, if the Client is hiring the Designer(s) to build a website, the Designer(s) may have to use the Client’s logo. The Client agrees to let the Designer(s) use the Client’s intellectual property and other intellectual property that the Client controls to the extent reasonably necessary to do the Designer(s)’s job. Beyond that, the Client is not giving the Designer(s) any intellectual property rights, unless specifically stated otherwise in this Contract.

  2. COMPETITIVE ENGAGEMENTS. The Designer(s) won’t work for a competitor of the Client until this Contract ends. To avoid confusion, a competitor is any third party that develops, manufactures, promotes, sells, licenses, distributes, or provides products or services that are substantially similar to the Client’s products or services. A competitor is also a third party that plans to do any of those things. The one exception to this restriction is if the Designer(s) asks for permission beforehand and the Client agrees to it in writing. If the Designer(s) uses employees or subcontractors, the Designer(s) must make sure they follow the obligations in this paragraph, as well. Page 3 of 5 Client Initial here:______________

  3. NON-SOLICITATION. Until this Contract ends, the Designer(s) won’t: (a) encourage Client employees or service providers to stop working for the Client; (b) encourage Client customers or clients to stop doing business with the Client; or (c) hire anyone who worked for the Client over the 12-month period before the Contract ended. The one exception is if the Designer(s) puts out a general ad and someone who happened to work for the Client responds. In that case, the Designer(s) may hire that candidate. The Designer(s) promises that it won’t do anything in this paragraph on behalf of itself or a third party.

  4. REPRESENTATIONS. 5.1 Overview. This section contains important promises between the parties. 5.2 Authority To Sign. Each party promises to the other party that it has the authority to enter into this Contract and to perform all of its obligations under this Contract. 5.3 Designer(s) Has Right To Give Client Work Product. The Designer(s) promises that it owns the work product, that the Designer(s) is able to give the work product to the Client, and that no other party will claim that it owns the work product. If the Designer(s) uses employees or subcontractors, the Designer(s) also promises that these employees and subcontractors have signed contracts with the Designer(s) giving the Designer(s) any rights that the employees or subcontractors have related to the Designer(s)’s background IP and work product. 5.4 Designer(s) Will Comply With Laws. The Designer(s) promises that the manner it does this job, its work product, and any background IP it uses comply with applicable U.S. and foreign laws and regulations. 5.5 Work Product Does Not Infringe. The Designer(s) promises that its work product does not and will not infringe on someone else’s intellectual property rights, that the Designer(s) has the right to let the Client use the background IP, and that this Contract does not and will not violate any contract that the Designer(s) has entered into or will enter into with someone else. 5.6 Client Will Review Work. The Client promises to review the work product, to be reasonably available to the Designer(s) if the Designer(s) has questions regarding this project, and to provide timely feedback and decisions. 5.7 Client-Supplied Material Does Not Infringe.

The Contract officially ends once that time has passed. The party that is ending the Contract must provide notice by taking the steps explained in Section 11.4. The Designer(s) must immediately stop working as soon as it receives this notice, unless the notice says otherwise. If either party ends this Contract before the Contract automatically ends as explained in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Client will pay the Designer(s) a guaranteed payment of $100.00 (USD) and the Client will reimburse the Designer(s) for any agreed-upon, noncancellable expenses.
