1. Acceptance of Terms

By engaging with NKL Studios (“we,” “us,” or “our”) for design services, including but not limited to branding, web design, UI/UX, illustration, and creative consulting, you (“client,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please refrain from using our services.


2. Use of Services

We offer creative and design services to individuals, businesses, and organizations. By contracting our services, you agree to the following:

  • Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction to enter into a binding agreement with NKL Studios.

  • Engagement: Project work begins only after written approval, signing of a proposal or agreement, and (where applicable) receipt of an initial deposit.

  • Client Responsibilities: You agree to provide timely feedback, approvals, and any materials required to complete the project. Delays in communication may affect deadlines and project scope.

  • Revisions: Reasonable revisions are included unless otherwise specified. Excessive or out-of-scope changes may incur additional charges.


3. User Content

In the course of delivering services, we may receive materials, assets, or content from you, including but not limited to logos, brand assets, copy, or media (“Client Content”).

  • Ownership: You retain all rights to your Client Content. By submitting it to NKL Studios, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to use such content solely for the purpose of providing the contracted services.

  • Responsibility: You represent that you own the rights to all content you provide or have obtained permission for its use. NKL Studios is not liable for unauthorized use of third-party materials submitted by you.


4. Intellectual Property

NKL Studios respects creative ownership—both yours and ours. The following terms apply to intellectual property related to our work:

  • Ownership of Deliverables: Upon full payment, ownership of final approved deliverables will transfer to you, unless otherwise agreed in writing. NKL Studios retains the right to showcase the work in portfolios, marketing materials, and promotional content, unless a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is in place.

  • Working Files: Source files (e.g., Adobe PSD, AI, XD) are not included unless specifically agreed upon. Additional fees may apply for release of editable or layered design files.

  • Pre-existing Materials: Any templates, design frameworks, or proprietary methods used by NKL Studios remain our intellectual property and are not transferred with deliverables.


5. Termination

Either party may terminate a project with written notice. Upon termination:

  • You will be invoiced for all work completed up to the termination date.

  • Any deposits are non-refundable unless otherwise agreed.

  • NKL Studios retains ownership of all unpaid-for work, concepts, and materials.


6. Disclaimers

  • No Guarantee of Results: While NKL Studios aims to deliver high-quality creative outcomes, we do not guarantee specific results such as increased traffic, sales, or user engagement unless expressly outlined in a performance-based contract.

  • Third-party Services: NKL Studios may recommend or utilize third-party services (e.g., web hosting, fonts, plugins). We are not responsible for the performance, availability, or pricing of these services.


7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NKL Studios shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of our services.

Our total liability in any matter relating to the services shall be limited to the total fees paid by you to NKL Studios for the specific project from which the claim arose.


8. Changes to Terms

NKL Studios reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Revisions will be posted on our website with the updated effective date. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.


9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Canada and the Province of Ontario, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the competent courts located within Canada.
