6.3 WritersHand Studios and its representatives may refuse a design brief sent from a client for a project which is for a different brand other than the brand assigned to their current Unlimited Graphic Design Plan.

A client may make alterations to completed design projects at their own discretion once the project status is completed and intellectual property rights have passed to the client. (see clause 17 for more information on this.)
6.4 Design briefs shall only be deemed as fully accepted and received provided that there is no outstanding information, from the client, required by WritersHand Studios and its designers/developers in order to execute the work as outlined in the brief. Clause 16 shall apply to design briefs required and received.

6.10 Completed design assets shall be stored on a client’s cloud storage and sent via cloud storage link through secure email/messaging service(s).
6.11 Source files (raw files or open files) shall NOT be handed over with completed designs, as this is not a value-add included in promotional services such as Unlimited Graphic Design Plans and Graphic Design Retention Plans. Should a client wish to have access to these, the full price of the graphic design fee shall be payable for the digital asset (less 20%, or the relevant discounted saving of the Graphic Design Retention Plan). This can be found in our pricing guide under the ad-hoc Graphic Design services unless stipulated in the Design Package purchased.
