TERMS – ALL CONSULTING, DESIGN AND WEB WORK
Terms of trade for all consulting, design & web work
Confirmation of quotes and/or approval to proceed with project or printing via email correspondence or payment of any deposit for projects, design and/or website services, consulting or printing shall be deemed as full acceptance of all terms of trade.
Any consulting, design, web work or other services provided to the client by Jungle Design Studios Pty Ltd may be referred to as the ‘project’.
Jungle Design Studios does not handover Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator or any source files or fonts or originals of illustrations. We will supply final flattened, printable or distributable files for the client to use. The intellectual property that we have developed in setting up files is not part of the sale, hence we do not hand over source files. Jungle Design Studios retains intellectual property rights over all files except the *final artwork.
Until full payment has been made, Jungle Design Studios retains ownership of all original artwork or parts contained therein (other than material supplied by the client), whether preliminary or final. Once a final concept is delivered to a client and full payment is received the final artwork files* will be transferred to the client and they will retain usage and ownership for purposes outlined in the project invoice only for the purposes in which it was created. Any other usage not discussed will need to be negotiated.
*Final artwork indicates the final artwork as a whole. Client does not have rights to use, modify or distribute any individual elements, ie; photos, illustrations etc. or to modify and resell this artwork.
This granting of copyright does not extend to the use of design proposals and concepts submitted to but not approved for the work outlined. Until final payment Jungle Design Studios retains ownership of all artwork and website architecture. Jungle Design Studios reserve the rights to certain elements used to create your images including fonts, patterns, stock images, textures, colour palettes and other non exclusive items.
Stock photos purchased by Jungle Design Studios are licensed to us only. They may be used in projects that are created by us only. We cannot transfer any license of images and you do not have any rights to use, distribute or sell them.

The project deposit is non-refundable, and if a project is cancelled by the Client, for whatever reason, the deposit will serve as a cancellation fee. Along with a pro-rata payment based upon the time spent if it exceeds 50% of the quoted work.
