These Terms and Conditions govern all services provided by VectorLine Creative (VLC). By engaging VectorLine Creative, the client enters into a legally binding agreement and accepts all terms outlined below.

​

1. Agreement & Scope

Any written estimate, quote, or proposal issued by VectorLine Creative defines the scope of work. Acceptance, whether signed or confirmed electronically, constitutes full agreement to these Terms.

No work will begin without both acceptance and receipt of the required deposit.

​

2. Fees, Deposits & Payment Enforcement

A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required to initiate all projects.

The remaining balance is due prior to delivery, release, or transfer of any final work or files. Under no circumstances will deliverables be released without full payment.

Any invoice unpaid after 30 days will:

• accrue interest at 2% per month (or maximum allowed by law),

• be considered in default,

• and may be submitted to collections or legal action without further notice.

The client agrees to pay all costs of collection, including legal fees, court costs, and third-party collection agency fees.

VectorLine Creative reserves the right to:

• suspend all work,

• revoke licenses,

• and remove or disable delivered work
  until full payment is received.

 

3. Scope Control & Additional Charges

Any work outside the defined scope, including additional revisions, direction changes, or added deliverables, will be billed separately.

VectorLine Creative is not obligated to perform work beyond the agreed scope without written approval and compensation.

 

4. Revisions

Revisions are limited to the number specified in the estimate. Excess revisions may be billed or refused at the sole discretion of VectorLine Creative.

 

5. Ownership, Copyright & Revocation of Rights

All work created by VectorLine Creative remains its intellectual property unless explicitly transferred in writing.

Upon full payment, the client is granted a limited, non-transferable license for the approved final deliverables.

If payment is not completed:

• all licenses are automatically revoked,

• and any use of the work constitutes copyright infringement.

VectorLine Creative retains full ownership of all unused concepts, drafts, and working files.

 

6. Client Liability & Indemnification

The client is solely responsible for ensuring all supplied content (text, images, media) is legally authorized for use.

The client agrees to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless VectorLine Creative from any claims, damages, or legal actions arising from:

• copyright or trademark violations,

• unauthorized content usage,

• or false/misleading materials.

 

7. Timelines & Delays

• third-party providers,

• or unforeseen circumstances.

Delays in client communication may result in project rescheduling or additional fees.

 

8. Approval, Delivery & No Refund Policy

Approval of work, whether explicit or implied, constitutes acceptance of the project.

Once final files or deliverables are provided:

• the project is considered complete,

• and all payments are final and non-refundable.

 

9. Abandonment & Forfeiture

If the client becomes unresponsive for 60 days:

• the project will be deemed abandoned,

• all payments are forfeited,

• and VectorLine Creative is under no obligation to complete or deliver the project.

• display completed work in its portfolio,

• and include a design credit where appropriate,
  unless otherwise agreed in writing.

 

15. Dispute Resolution & Jurisdiction

All disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

The client agrees:

• arbitration is the sole method of dispute resolution,

• all proceedings are confidential,
