terms + conditions

This website is operated by Lime + Ink. All the design work created by Lime + Ink is subject to the following conditions. Make sure you understand them before you start any design project. By placing an order, you as a customer enter into a legally binding agreement and agree to these terms.

Updated 2024-04-01

Bookings and payments are binding. When purchasing a service, Lime + Ink reserve the right to request a non-refundable deposit of 50% prior to starting work on your project. The remaining 50% is invoiced prior to the release of any logo files or final exports.

Payment is expected within 10 days of issue. In the event of late payment, default interest and a fee are paid in accordance with the Swedish Interest Act. Lime + Ink reserve the right to withhold delivery until payment has been received in full.

All possible expenses that need to be purchased by third parties are not included in the total price of the services. The cost of web hosting, domain, fonts etc, is paid by the client himself.

Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We are not responsible for pricing, typographical or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.

payment

All original preparation materials, sketches, visuals and unused ideas shown and considered will remain the property of Lime + Ink design. The final artwork/digital files will become the property of the client ONLY upon final payment of the project. Final payment ensures that ONLY the agreed design becomes the clients property. Any previous ideas/ concepts remain the property of Lime + Ink, unless any prior agreement has been made.
Lime + Ink reserve the right to use unused and previous ideas for future conceptual and client work.

Should the client attempt to use/modify/alter/replicate or steal any of my ideas without making agreed final payment, Lime + Ink will take immediate legal counsel.

Unless otherwise agreed and arranged, I reserve the right to showcase the finished logo and associated designs in my portfolio and in any number of online galleries/portfolio/showcases/awards as well as in printed literature including books and magazines, now and in the future. Associated designs and artwork can include commercial print design/business card/stationery design/signage/desktop icons/mobile phone and other portable device application icons and imagery.

restrictions

Your deposit is non-refundable, but can be transferred to another date with 7 days notice. Clients are permitted one re-booking. A deposit is valid for 90 days and must be used within that time frame. If I need to cancel or reschedule we will find a new VIP day that works for both of us or I will issue a refund.

If you choose to cancel the project midway through, where ideas and proposals have been submitted, refund of previous payment is not possible. However, depending on the work completed and overall budget, a portion of the funds may be returned.

If I fall ill, or am unable to complete the project due to unforeseen circumstances, a portion of the overall budget will be returned. In most cases the complete amount will be refunded. If any works, so far completed, can be used for another designer to pick up, then a percentage will be refunded based on work completed or any other reasonable suggestion will be considered.

I reserve the right to suspend any project if there is interference with excessive micromanaging, demonstrating a continued lack of trust and inability to move forward after showing more than a reasonable number of unique logo ideas/concepts, and/or showing a reluctance in paying the final payment.

Fair notice will be given with fair chance to remedy the situation without resorting to project suspension or termination. Any suspension, or termination, will not result in any refunds and all designs and work thus developed remain the full ownership of Lime + Ink design.

cancellation

Any fonts/typefaces that are purchased for the final logo, and/or supporting brand identity assets, are subject to commercial licensing laws. A font/typeface licence gives only the owner full rights to use the font/typeface as necessary.

In my initial presentation of concepts, I will provide information of the typefaces used and where they can be acquired. It is the responsibility of the client to acquire any necessary font licenses (paid or unpaid), so please bear this in mind when approving designs.

It is against the law for me to provide any client a ‘copy’ of any font/typeface that I own, and have personally purchased.

If you would like to use a copy of a font/typeface that I have purchased, to be used commercially, you must purchase the respective font/typeface licence, and register it in your name.

Typically, a font used in a logo will not need to be licensed, as the graphics are converted to vector artwork and can no longer be edited. However, should you require a font to use in your own artwork for editing purposes, such as on a website or a print presentation, then you will need your own license through a desktop license purchase.

fonts & typefaces

You take full responsibility for ensuring that your company/product/name is legally free/available before work is started. Should any legal issue arise with the naming after the project has been completed, no refunds are possible, neither am I legally responsible for any problems thus arising.

Please ensure the name you are using is free and legally safe to use before committing to a logo project. Project name changes during a project are exceptionally costly, challenging to implement, and cause significant delays.

If a change of name is required mid-way during a project, and significant logo exploration work has already been presented, then I will have no choice but to recalculate the total cost of the project, to allow for the reworking involved. Please ensure that the name you are using has been subject to appropriate checks, is not in use by someone else, and/or infringes on any other registered trademark, business name etc.

You agree and accept that Lime + Ink design is not legally responsible for any loss or damage suffered or incurred related to use of any of my services, whether from amendments, errors or omissions in documents, designs, information or any goods or services offered by myself. This includes your use or reliance on any third-party content, links, comments or advertisements. Your use of, or reliance on, any information or materials I produce, amends or designs is entirely at your own risk, for which I shall not be liable.

You acknowledge that such information and materials may contain inaccuracies or errors and expressly exclude liability of Lime + Ink design for any such inaccuracies or errors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I affirm that all designs presented to you will be original and to the best of my knowledge will not infringe/plagiarise any other work. I will perform limited checks to ensure that my work has not unintentionally infringed on another’s design, including reverse image checks across search engines. However, I assume no legal responsibility for any loss or damage suffered or incurred related to legal issues regarding the originality or authenticity of my work. You agree to perform your own checks and due diligence regarding plagiarism and originality. Should you have any concerns, please discuss this item with me prior to commencing work.
