- The required deposit payment in full.
- While the Provider will make every reasonable effort to meet deadlines, the following factors may affect delivery timing:
- Additional Hours: If the estimated hours are reached and additional hours are needed to complete the Project, the Provider will notify the Client for approval.
- If the Client approves the additional hours, turnaround times will be adjusted to account for the approval process and any additional work.
- If the Client does not approve the additional hours, the Project will be handed over in its current state, and the Provider shall not be held liable for any incomplete or unsatisfactory outcomes.
- Additional Hours: If the estimated hours are reached and additional hours are needed to complete the Project, the Provider will notify the Client for approval.
- Delays caused by awaiting Client responses, delayed payments, approvals, or other circumstances beyond the Provider’s control may also impact turnaround times. The Provider shall not be held liable for any costs, losses, or inconveniences incurred by the Client as a result of such delays or decisions.
Project Approval and Output Quality
- Approval via email is required from the Client before the release of any final Project files. The Provider is not responsible for any errors, including spelling, grammatical, or numerical mistakes, identified after the Client has provided final approval.
- The Client is responsible for providing clear, high-resolution photographs of the site where the pool is to be designed. These images must accurately show the current state of the terrain and relevant elements such as the house, trees, and any existing structures. The Provider is not liable for any limitations, inaccuracies, or quality issues in the final design that result from incomplete, unclear, or low-quality images supplied by the Client. If the Client does not provide adequate site photographs, the Provider may request additional images or clarification before proceeding with the design work.
- All Project deliverables are provided electronically. The Provider is not responsible for print quality or for color variations that may occur between digital files and printed materials.
Guarantees
- The Provider cannot guarantee the outcome of design services, and the Client’s comments about outcomes are expressions of opinion only.
- The Client acknowledges that the Provider cannot guarantee results, as design outcomes are subjective and uncontrollable.
Intellectual Property, Usage Rights and Credit
- Upon full and final payment, the Client is granted non-exclusive, perpetual usage and reproduction rights to the final design for their intended purposes. The Provider retains the right to reuse, modify, resell, or license the final design—including drafts and unused concepts—for other projects or clients, including for previously completed projects (with Client approval where required).
- The Provider may display completed projects, drafts, and images provided by the Client (or their representatives) for promotional purposes, such as portfolios, website showcases, and social media. Should the Client object to the use or display of such images, they are responsible for notifying the Provider in writing; the Provider will make reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests.
- Unused designs, drafts, and concepts not selected and paid for by the Client remain the exclusive property of the Provider and may be resold or licensed for other projects.
- Unauthorized use of any materials is strictly prohibited and will result in legal action, including but not limited to cease and desist orders, claims for damages, and recovery of legal expenses.
Changes to Terms and Conditions and Notification
- The Provider reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Updated terms will apply to new Projects and, where applicable, to ongoing Projects upon reasonable notice to the Client. For Projects completed prior to the update, the updated terms regarding copyright, ownership, and usage rights will not retroactively apply unless explicitly agreed by the Client. Clients with previously completed Projects will be notified of any significant changes to these terms and given the option to opt into the updated terms regarding rights to resell or reuse.
- The Provider will notify all Clients by email or other reasonable means of any material changes to these Terms and Conditions, especially where such changes affect rights to completed Projects.
