Term of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the content design services provided by [Your Name/Studio Name] (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By engaging our services, you (“Client”, “you” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Services

We provide content design services, which may include (but are not limited to) content strategy, copywriting, UX writing, content audits, information architecture support, and related consulting (the “Services”). The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees will be outlined in a separate proposal, statement of work, or email agreement (“Project Agreement”).

3. Engagement & Process

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete information, materials, and feedback needed to perform the Services.

• Respond to requests for input, approvals, or revisions in a timely manner.

• Ensure that any content or materials you supply do not infringe on the rights of any third party.

We will:

• Use reasonable skill and care in delivering the Services.

• Communicate progress, timelines, and any issues that may affect delivery.

• Provide deliverables in the formats agreed in the Project Agreement.

4. Fees & Payment

Fees for the Services will be specified in the Project Agreement (e.g., fixed project fee, hourly rate, or retainer). Unless otherwise stated:

• Invoices are due within [14/30] days of the invoice date.

• Late payments may incur a late fee of [X]% per month on overdue amounts.

• We may pause or stop work if invoices remain unpaid after the due date.

5. Revisions

Unless otherwise specified in the Project Agreement:

• You are entitled to [1–3] rounds of reasonable revisions on each deliverable.

• Revisions are limited to changes within the original scope. Requests that significantly alter the scope, goals, or assumptions of the project may be treated as additional work and billed separately.

• Revisions must be requested within [X] days after delivery of the initial draft; otherwise, the deliverable may be considered accepted.

6. Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise in the Project Agreement:

• Upon full payment of all fees owed, you receive a non‑exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, and distribute the final content deliverables for your business purposes.

• We retain the copyright and all moral rights in drafts, methodologies, templates, tools, and any background materials used to create the deliverables.

• We may showcase non‑confidential portions of the work in our portfolio, marketing materials, or case studies, unless you explicitly request in writing that we do not.

You confirm that any materials, logos, trademarks, or content you provide:

• Are owned by you or properly licensed to you; and

• Do not infringe the rights of any third party.

You grant us a limited license to use these materials solely for the purpose of performing the Services.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non‑public information obtained in the course of the engagement, including business strategies, analytics, and product information. This obligation does not apply to information that:

• Is or becomes publicly available without breach of these Terms;

• Was lawfully known to the receiving party before disclosure; or

• Is required to be disclosed by law, court order, or governmental authority.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• The Services and deliverables are provided “as is”.

• We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement.
