Contact: info@veerstudio.com.au
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions govern all graphic design and related services provided by Christopher Venning of Veer Studio (“Designer”, “we”, “us”, “our”) to any client (“Client”, “you”, “your”) throughout Australia.
By engaging our services, you agree to be bound by the following terms.
2. Scope of Services
We will provide creative and design services as agreed upon in writing between the parties. This may include, but is not limited to, logo design, branding, website design, digital illustrations, promotional materials, and other visual or digital content.
The work to be completed is strictly limited to what is listed in the approved quote or invoice. Any additional requests, variations, or services outside the original scope will be treated as a separate project and quoted or invoiced as a new job prior to commencement.
3. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools
3.1 Purpose and Application
Veer Studio may use AI-assisted tools and technologies as part of the creative process. These tools are used to enhance efficiency, concept exploration, and design development — not as a replacement for professional creativity, expertise, or originality. All AI-generated content is reviewed, refined, and directed by the Designer to ensure quality and alignment with the Client’s brief.
3.2 Intellectual Property and AI Outputs
Where AI tools are used, the Designer retains full intellectual property rights in all resulting works, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Client acknowledges that AI-assisted outputs may incorporate data or styles derived from publicly available sources. While Veer Studio takes all reasonable care to ensure originality and suitability for commercial use, we do not guarantee that AI-generated materials are entirely free from third-party claims.
3.3 Transparency
Upon reasonable request, the Designer will disclose if and how AI tools were used in the creation of specific deliverables.
4. Intellectual Property Rights
4.1 Ownership
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all intellectual property rights (including but not limited to copyright, design rights, and moral rights) in any works created by Veer Studio remain the sole property of the Designer.
4.2 Transfer of Ownership
Ownership of final deliverables does not automatically transfer to the Client upon payment. A separate written assignment of rights must be executed and signed by both parties to formally transfer ownership. Until such agreement is signed, all rights remain with the Designer.
4.3 Licensing
A non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the final deliverables may be granted to the Client upon full payment of all fees. The terms of the licence — including duration, scope, and permitted uses — will be specified in writing. No rights or licences are granted until payment is received in full.
4.4 Restrictions on Use
The Client must not modify, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise use the works beyond the scope of the granted licence without prior written consent from the Designer. Any unauthorised use constitutes a breach of these terms and may result in legal action.
5. Moral Rights
Under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), the Designer asserts their moral rights to be attributed as the creator of the work and to object to any derogatory treatment of that work.
6. Revisions and Approvals
A reasonable number of revisions are included as specified in the project agreement. Final approval of designs must be provided by the Client in writing (email confirmation is acceptable). Once approved, the Designer is not responsible for any errors or omissions in the final product.
7. Payment Terms
A deposit of 50% is required prior to commencement of work. Full payment must be made within the timeframe specified on the invoice.
All work must be paid for in full prior to being published, displayed, printed, uploaded, shared, or otherwise made public in any form. Ownership and usage rights will not be transferred until payment is received and a formal written assignment of rights has been executed.
A minimum engagement fee of $500.00 AUD applies to all projects, regardless of size, scope, or duration. This amount covers initial consultation, concept development, and administrative setup.
Late payments may incur additional fees.
8. Cancellation and Termination
If the Client cancels a project, fees for work completed up to the cancellation date will be payable. Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced.
The Designer reserves the right to suspend or terminate the agreement at any time if the Client breaches these terms, behaves unethically, or fails to make payments as agreed.
In the event of termination, the Client will not be entitled to use any preliminary or incomplete work produced prior to cancellation.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by Australian law, Veer Studio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from or in connection with the provision of our services, including but not limited to the use or integration of AI-assisted tools.
Liability for any claim shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for the specific project in question.
10. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Each party agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of that state, unless otherwise required by law.
11. Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions represent the entire agreement between the parties, superseding all prior discussions or representations. Any amendments or variations must be agreed to in writing and signed by both parties.
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
