The final artwork/digital files will become the property of the client mentioned in this proposal ONLY upon final payment of the project.

It cannot be stress enough that if final payment is NOT received as agreed and set out in the initial proposal, all designs and concepts will remain the property of James Martin (Baby Giant Design Co) until payment is received. If there are issues with the final payment, James Martin (Baby Giant Design Co) then reserve the right to reuse or amend any of these ideas for other clients or to be used freely as concepts in my portfolio. 

Should the client attempt to use/modify/alter/replicate or steal any of my ideas without making agreed final payment, James Martin (Baby Giant Design Co) will take immediate legal counsel.

Final payment ensures that ONLY the agreed design becomes the clients property. Any previous ideas/ concepts remain the property of James Martin (Baby Giant Design Co), unless any prior agreement has been made.

James Martin (Baby Giant Design Co) reserve the right to suspend any project if a client: interferes with excessive micromanaging, demonstrates a continued lack of trust and inability to move forward after showing more than a reasonable number of unique logo ideas/concepts and/or shows 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.

If James Martin falls ill or is 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.
