Charges for graphic design services to be provided by G3 Creative Solutions will be set out in the quotation that is provided to the Client.
At the time of the Client's signed acceptance of this quotation, indicating acceptance of our Terms & Conditions, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the quoted fee will become immediately due. Work on the project will not commence until G3 Creative Solutions has received this amount.
Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all design services require an advance payment of a minimum of 50% of the project quotation total before the work is supplied to the Client for review. The remaining 50% of the project quotation total will be due upon completion of the work prior to the release of the final artwork.
Copyright and intellectual property rights in all concepts, designs, original artwork, working files, source files, drafts, proposals and unused creative materials produced by G3 Creative Solutions remain the property of G3 Creative Solutions unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
Charges for graphic design work do not include the transfer or release of copyright in the Designer's original working files or source files, including but not limited to INDD, PSD, AI, EPS or any other editable or source file formats. If the Client requires such files, they will be subject to a separate quotation and written agreement.
Once the project has been paid for in full, the Client is granted the right to use the final approved logo, artwork or design supplied by G3 Creative Solutions for their own business and marketing purposes. The Client may reproduce, publish, print, display, adapt or otherwise use the final approved Deliverable as they see fit, subject always to any third-party rights, licences or restrictions relating to elements incorporated into the design.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Client's right to use the final approved Deliverable following payment in full does not transfer ownership of G3 Creative Solutions' copyright or intellectual property in the underlying creative work, concepts, source files, working files, unused concepts or other original materials unless expressly agreed in writing.
The Client's right to use the final approved Deliverable following payment in full also does not include the right to submit, upload or provide the Deliverable, or any G3 Creative Solutions-created artwork or design, to generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools or AI-powered services for the purpose of generating, recreating, modifying, analysing, extending, editing or producing alternative or derivative versions of the Designer's work.
The Client agrees not to upload, submit, input, reproduce, replicate, analyse, process or otherwise provide any Deliverables, drafts, concepts, source files, designs, artwork or other materials created by G3 Creative Solutions to any generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) tool or AI-powered service without the prior written consent of G3 Creative Solutions.
This restriction applies whether the purpose is to obtain AI-generated feedback, critique, suggestions or design recommendations, or to create or assist in creating an alternative, modified, recreated or derivative version of the Designer's work.
This includes, but is not limited to:
The Client may not use AI-generated outputs based upon G3 Creative Solutions' Deliverables as a means of directing, instructing or requiring G3 Creative Solutions to make amendments to the original work.
Any feedback, amendments or revision requests must be communicated directly by the Client and remain subject to the agreed project scope and the Designer's professional judgement and creative control.
G3 Creative Solutions retains final creative control over the design, execution, visual direction and creative integrity of its work.
Client feedback and requested revisions will be considered in accordance with the agreed project scope. However, G3 Creative Solutions reserves the right to reject or decline any requested change where, in the Designer's reasonable professional judgement, it would compromise the quality, originality, integrity or intended creative direction of the work.
The Designer is not obliged to reproduce, incorporate, recreate or implement any AI-generated material, concepts, imagery or design directions supplied by the Client.
The Designer also reserves the right to refuse any project direction that would require G3 Creative Solutions to execute AI-generated content as final creative without substantial human creative adaptation and professional input.
Any use of AI tools by G3 Creative Solutions, where applicable, will be entirely at the Designer's discretion and will not give the Client the right to require the use of AI or dictate the Designer's creative process.
Both parties acknowledge that AI-generated content may have limited, uncertain or jurisdiction-dependent copyright protection and that the use of AI-generated material may create intellectual property, licensing or ownership issues.
G3 Creative Solutions does not warrant that AI-generated material supplied or requested by the Client is capable of being exclusively owned, copyrighted or otherwise protected.
Where the Client supplies AI-generated content, imagery, concepts or other material for incorporation into a project, the Client is responsible for ensuring that they have all necessary rights, permissions and licences to use that material.
G3 Creative Solutions accepts no responsibility for any intellectual property, copyright, trademark or other third-party claims arising from AI-generated material supplied or instructed by the Client.
All invoices are deemed to be accepted unless notice is received by G3 Creative Solutions within seven days of receipt of the invoice.
Should any invoices not be paid within 30 days, we reserve the right to charge interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.
If we are forced to retain solicitors to collect our invoices, such fees and court costs that may be necessary, as well as any interest rate charges incurred, will become payable by the Client.
Payment can be made by BACS, cheque or cash.
We feel that creating work on speculation reduces the value of graphic design and demeans the profession.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for ensuring that any names, wording, logos, marks or other content supplied to G3 Creative Solutions, or requested to be incorporated into any design work, do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights, trademarks or copyrights of any third party.
Whilst G3 Creative Solutions may, upon the Client's specific written request, carry out a trademark search on a fee-paying basis, such fees will be quoted separately and in advance. G3 Creative Solutions does not undertake any obligation to conduct such searches as part of its standard package prices.
The Client is strongly advised to perform their own independent trademark searches and seek professional legal advice prior to finalising their business name or brand identity.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, G3 Creative Solutions shall not be held responsible or liable for any claims, disputes, losses, damages or legal actions arising from or related to the names, text, concepts or marks used or requested by the Client in the course of the project.
G3 Creative Solutions shall not be liable for any failure or delay in supply or delivery of print/services where such failure or delay is wholly or partly due to any cause or circumstances whatsoever outside its reasonable control, including but not limited to war, natural disasters, strikes, lockouts, industrial disputes or unrest, government restrictions or transport delays, fire, power outages, a breakdown at the print plant, theft, vandalism, riots, civil commotions, accidents of any kind or acts of terrorism.
G3 Creative Solutions may make improvements and/or changes to the information and services described herein at any time.
In no event shall G3 Creative Solutions be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever arising out of or in connection with the use of information available on https://www.g3creative.co.uk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, G3 Creative Solutions shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill or other intangible losses, resulting from:
(a) your use or inability to use the website or services;
(b) any conduct or content of any third party on the website;
(c) any content obtained from the website; or
(d) unauthorised access, use or alteration of your transmissions or content.
Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:
A proof is supplied to Clients so that they can check all aspects of the project.
G3 Creative Solutions shall incur no liability for any errors on proofs that were supplied to and signed off by the Client, irrespective of which party was responsible for introducing the errors.
It is the Client's responsibility to check proofs thoroughly for errors in copy and content, even if the text is supplied electronically.
Additional charges shall be made for subsequently printed proofs that are required as a result of alterations required by the Client.
If the project requires re-printing as a result of alterations or errors approved by the Client, the Client will be responsible for the associated costs.
G3 Creative Solutions retains the right to display and reproduce completed work created for the Client as part of the G3 Creative portfolio, including on our website, social media channels, case studies, awards submissions and printed or digital marketing materials.
This right applies to completed logos, branding, designs, artwork and other creative work produced by G3 Creative Solutions for the Client.
The Client's right to use the final approved Deliverables following payment in full does not prevent G3 Creative Solutions from displaying the work for portfolio and promotional purposes.
If the Client has a legitimate requirement for a completed project to remain confidential or not to be displayed publicly, this must be agreed in writing with G3 Creative Solutions at the time of project acceptance or prior to project completion.
Any unauthorised submission of G3 Creative Solutions' Deliverables, designs, artwork or other creative materials to an AI tool will constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions.
Where the Client has used the Designer's work in breach of this clause, G3 Creative Solutions reserves the right to suspend further work, refuse further amendments, terminate the project and/or seek any other remedy available to it under applicable law.
