Taylor W. Parker (Art Tyrant Studio) retains the nonexclusive, perpetual, and worldwide right to display, reproduce, and distribute the designs in Taylor W. Parker’s portfolio and website, and third-party trade publications, awards or exhibits,

solely for the purpose of promoting or exemplifying Taylor W. Parker’s work, and the right to be credited with

secrecy requirements, please mention this before agreeing to the proposal... I am also happy to wait for your

“go ahead” on sharing if the project launch date is further down the line.

Final payment ensures that ONLY the agreed design becomes the clients property. Any previous ideas/

concepts remain the property of Taylor W. Parker (Art Tyrant Studio), unless any prior agreement has been made.

Taylor W. Parker (Art Tyrant Studio) takes no responsibility for the TM process, once the final payment is made it is up to the client to register for a TM if they choose to do so as they now fully own the design. If there are any TM infringements

If you choose to cancel the project midway through the project, where ideas and proposals have been

submitted, refund of previous payment is not possible.

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 the work 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.

We 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.

We have a policy that after 30 days of no communication from you we will terminate the project and it will be

considered cancelled. Please note, delayed communication of 48 hours or more can also delay the timeline.

However, we are human and we are always open to listening and understanding to your position and will do our

best to help whenever we can. We just need to communicate.
