Terms & Conditions
This Terms of Use Agreement (referred to as the “Agreement”) establishes a legally binding contract between DESIGNLIT.co.uk (a subsidiary of OSSU LTD - VAT Number: 474 2657 68), and the client, whether as an individual or on behalf of an entity (referred to as the “Client”), concerning the access and usage of DesignLit’s website: www.designlit.co.uk (referred to as the “Website”) as well as any other associated media forms, channels, mobile websites, or mobile applications linked to or connected with it. If the Client fails to agree to and comply with all the terms, conditions, and obligations stated in this Agreement, their use of the Website is expressly prohibited, and they are instructed to cease use immediately. Consequently, the relationship between the Client and DesignLit will terminate and have no further legal effect between the parties, except for the Client’s ongoing obligation to compensate DesignLit for any services rendered.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, DesignLit is the rightful owner of the Website, which includes all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics in any format (collectively or individually referred to as the “Content”). Additionally, the trademarks, service marks, and logos displayed on the Website (“Marks”) are under the ownership and control of DesignLit. These assets are safeguarded by copyright, trademark laws, and any other relevant intellectual property laws or regulations of the United States, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions.

DesignLit reserves all rights regarding the Website, Content, and Marks.
Ownership of Materials
Despite DesignLit’s ownership of Submissions, as explained in Paragraph 4 (“Client Feedback”), all final formatted designs created on behalf of the Client (“Projects”) belong exclusively to the Client. As such, the Client shall hold the sole copyright ownership of all completed Projects in their final form. In the unlikely event that any legal provision would grant DesignLit ownership, either wholly or partially, of a Project instead of the Client, DesignLit hereby irrevocably and indefinitely assigns its entire interest in the Project to the Client without any limitations.
The Client represents and warrants that any materials provided to DesignLit as examples or for incorporation into a project during the design process are owned by the Client and do not infringe upon or misappropriate the rights of any third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights and rights of publicity.

It is The Client's responsibility to acquire one or more licenses for the Third-Party Fonts directly from the respective rights-holder(s) to ensure compliance with legal requirements for reproduction, distribution, or public display of the Project.

Showcasing Design Work
DesignLit retains the right to publicly showcase design work on digital platforms, such as social media and the website, unless an alternative agreement has been reached. However, the Client also has the option to request a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) between themselves and DesignLit. If such an NDA is established, it will supersede DesignLit’s right to publicly share or discuss the Client’s work.
Payments & Subscription & Cancellation Management
Clients are billed monthly for Designlit's services via the Stripe payment gateway. Invoices are automatically generated and accessible through the client's Stripe account. If a client wishes to cancel their subscription, they must provide a 30-day notice of termination. Access to Designlit's services will end on the next renewal date following the 30-day notice period. Clients must continue their subscription payments if their 30-day notice period overlaps with their renewal date. If the notice period extends beyond the renewal date, any paid days beyond the 30-day period will be refunded to the client. If the client ends their subscription with any days remaining in the 30-day notice period, they are still required to pay for those days. Although work will be put on hold during this time, the client remains responsible for covering the cost of the notice period.
To complete any ongoing projects, clients must maintain their subscription until the work is finalised. Please note that projects are handled one at a time. We aim to complete each project within 2-3 days, depending on its complexity and the amount of work involved. It is important to note that we cannot begin a new project until the current one has been approved by the client.

The failure of DesignLit to enforce any right or provision in these Terms of Use does not imply a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision or portion of these Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that specific provision shall be severed from these Terms of Use while leaving the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions unaffected.
Nothing within these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, or on the Website shall be interpreted as establishing a joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between the Client and DesignLit.
