Terms of Use Agreement

đź’ˇ

"Welcome to our official agreement, created for your safety and clarity. We've kept it simple with user-friendly navigation on the left. No need for concern, we're not requesting anything out of the ordinary. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

This Terms of Use Agreement (the "Agreement") constitutes a legally binding agreement by and between Al-Lami Ventures s.r.o., doing business as Revolution Design, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Slovakia ("Revolution Design"), and the client, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("Client"), with regard to access and use of Revolution Design's website: https://www.revolution.design/ (the "Website") and any other media form, channel, mobile website, or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto. Failure to agree and adhere to all of the terms, conditions, and obligations contained herein results in the express prohibition of the Client's use of the Website, and the Client is ordered to discontinue use immediately. Thereafter, the relationship between Client and Revolution Design shall cease and be of no further force and effect between the parties, except that any obligation of Client to pay Revolution Design for services rendered shall remain and continue to be an ongoing obligation owed by Client to Revolution Design.

1. Work and Payment

1.1 Project

The Client is hiring Revolution Design to provide design services agreed upon, not limited to Web Design, Branding, and Product Design. Revolution Design will work on the entire process of defining requirements, visualizing, and creating designs for the Client.

1.2 Schedule

Revolution Design will begin work when the subscription becomes active and will continue until the subscription is terminated or paused. This Agreement may be terminated by either the Client or Revolution Design at any time, subject to the provisions of Section 6, Term and Termination.

1.4 Expenses

The Client is not responsible for reimbursing Revolution Design's expenses unless otherwise agreed upon.

1.5 Invoices & Payment

Invoices & Payments will be handled by a third-party payment processor called Stripe. The Client will be automatically charged a flat fee of $4,990.00 (USD) or $7,990.00 (USD) depending on the chosen plan, per month, starting on the date of the subscription. Payment will be processed automatically through Stripe. The Client may pause or cancel the subscription at any time through a simple dashboard. In the event that the Client cancels the subscription, the Client will not be entitled to any refunds due to the ongoing nature of the services provided.

2. Ownership and Licenses

2.1 Client Owns All Work Product

As part of this job, Revolution Design is creating "work product" for the Client. To avoid confusion, work product is the finished product, as well as drafts, notes, materials, mockups, hardware, designs, inventions, patents, code, and anything else that Revolution Design works on—that is, conceives, creates, designs, develops, invents, works on, or reduces to practice—as part of this project, whether before the date of this Agreement or after. Revolution Design hereby gives the Client this work product once the Client pays for it in full. This means the Client is giving the Client all of its rights, titles, and interests in and to the work product (including intellectual property rights), and the Client will be the sole owner of it. The Client can use the work product however it wants or it can decide not to use the work product at all. The Client, for example, can modify, destroy, or sell it, as it sees fit.

2.2 Revolution Design’s Use Of Work Product

Upon delivery of the work product to the Client, Revolution Design retains no ownership rights in the work product, except as explicitly granted by the Client in this Agreement. The Client grants Revolution Design permission to use the work product in their professional portfolio, on their website, in galleries, and in other media for the purpose of showcasing their work. Revolution Design agrees not to use the work product for any purpose other than promoting their own design services or business. The Client's permission to Revolution Design to use the work product for promotional purposes is perpetual and non-revocable, even after the termination of this Agreement.

2.3 Revolution Design’s Help Securing Ownership

In the future, the Client may need Revolution Design’s help to show that the Client owns the work product or to complete the transfer. Revolution Design agrees to help with that. For example, Revolution Design may have to sign a patent application. The Client will pay any required expenses for this. If the Client can’t find Revolution Design, Revolution Design agrees that the Client can act on Revolution Design’s behalf to accomplish the same thing. The following language gives the Client that right: if the Client can’t find Revolution Design after spending reasonable effort trying to do so, Revolution Design hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Client as Revolution Design’s agent and attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for Revolution Design and on Revolution Design’s behalf to execute, verify, and file the required documents and to take any other legal action to accomplish the purposes of paragraph 2.1 (Client Owns All Work Product).

2.4 Revolution Design’s IP That Is Not Work Product

During the course of this project, Revolution Design might use intellectual property that Revolution Design owns or has licensed from a third party, but that does not qualify as “work product.” This is called “background IP.” Possible examples of background IP are pre-existing code, type fonts, properly-licensed stock photos, and web application tools. Revolution Design is not giving the Client this background IP. But, as part of the Agreement, Revolution Design is giving the Client a right to use and license (with the right to sublicense) the background IP to develop, market, sell, and support the Client’s products and services. The Client may use this background IP worldwide and free of charge, but it cannot transfer its rights to the background IP (except as allowed in Section 11.1 (Assignment). The Client cannot sell or license the background IP separately from its products or services. Revolution Design cannot take back this grant, and this grant does not end when the Agreement is over.

2.5 Revolution Design’s Right To Use Client IP

Revolution Design may need to use the Client’s intellectual property to do its job. For example, if the Client is hiring Revolution Design to build a website, Revolution Design may have to use the Client’s logo. The Client agrees to let Revolution Design use the Client’s intellectual property and other intellectual property that the Client controls to the extent reasonably necessary to do Revolution Design’s job. Beyond that, the Client is not giving Revolution Design any intellectual property rights, unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement.

3. Competitive Engagements

During the term of this Agreement, Revolution Design may work with other clients and companies, provided that such engagements do not interfere with the work that Revolution Design is doing for the Client. Revolution Design agrees to use their best efforts to ensure that any such engagements do not create a conflict of interest or otherwise detract from Revolution Design's ability to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement.

4. Non-Solicitation

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, the Client agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit for employment or hire any employees or contractors of Contractor who have worked on the project for the Client, without the prior written consent of Contractor. Any decision to hire a member of Contractor's team must be approved by all stakeholders of Contractor. The Client agrees not to take any action in violation of this paragraph on behalf of itself or a third party. The parties acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph are necessary to protect Contractor's legitimate business interests and are reasonable in scope and duration.

8. Confidential Information

8.1 Overview

This Agreement imposes special restrictions on how the Client and Revolution Design must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

8.2 The Client’s Confidential Information

While working for the Client, Revolution Design may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. Revolution Design promises to treat this information as if it is Revolution Design’s own confidential information. Revolution Design may use this information to do its job under this Agreement but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets Revolution Design use a customer list to send out a newsletter, Revolution Design cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives Revolution Design written permission to use the information for another purpose, Revolution Design may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Agreement ends, Revolution Design must give back or destroy all confidential information and confirm that it has done so. Revolution Design promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party unless the Client gives Revolution Design written permission first. Revolution Design must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Agreement ends. Revolution Design’s responsibilities only stop if Revolution Design can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when Revolution Design came across it; (ii) the information became public after Revolution Design came across it, but not because of anything Revolution Design did or didn’t do; (iii) Revolution Design already knew the information when Revolution Design came across it, and Revolution Design didn’t have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided Revolution Design with the information without requiring that Revolution Design keep it a secret; or (v) Revolution Design created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

8.3 Third-Party Confidential Information

It’s possible the Client and Revolution Design each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and Revolution Design each promise that they will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or Revolution Design is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Agreement.

If the sender receives an error message indicating that the email was not delivered, then the sender must use other means to deliver the notice or communication.

11.5 Severability

This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Agreement is found to be unenforceable.
