Upon full payment, clients receive full ownership of the final deliverables, including source files, designs, and custom code created specifically for their project. This does not include third-party assets, stock resources, or proprietary frameworks.

License Grants

Clients are granted a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the delivered work for its intended purpose. Any use beyond the original scope requires additional licensing agreements.

Third-Party Assets

Projects may incorporate third-party assets such as stock photos, fonts, icons, or plugins. These assets remain subject to their original licensing terms, and clients are responsible for compliance with those licenses.

Restrictions on Use

  • Deliverables may not be resold as templates or design assets
