1. Service
1.1 General
Branduo Studio provides an online platform that helps connect and support customers who wish to purchase designs (“Customers”) and designers who wish to provide such designs (“Designers”), including, for example, through Design Projects. “User” means any user of the Site or Service, and maybe a Designer or a Customer. “Sold Design” means the applicable winning Design Concept, purchased Design Template (and any customized version thereof), or the design sold under the Project Service. “Sale” means the applicable sale. “IPR” means all trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, mask work rights, patents, and other intellectual property rights recognized by the laws of any country.
1.2 Design Project
(a) Customer may create a design Project (“Design Project”) by creating a design brief (“Design Brief”), paying the Customer Payment, and following the other instructions on the Site. The Design Brief must specify the requirements for the Design Project, such that Designers know the rules and criteria on which their Design Concepts will be judged. Designers assigned by Branduo Studio (at Branduo Studio’s sole discretion) to enter a Design Project may submit design concepts (“Design Concepts”) in the format specified by Branduo Studio by following the instructions on the Site. Design Concepts must comply with the Design Brief. (b) For All the Projects, the Customer must select one winning Design Concept by a certain time specified by Branduo Studio. If no winner is selected in the submission or selection round of a Project, Branduo Studio will retain the Customer's Advance Payment, and the Customer will have no right to a refund or to use the Design Concepts. (c) Any project placed on the Branduo Studio Online Platform will have (from the Date & Time of placed project), (I) 10 Days of the Design Submission Round and 5 Days of the Design Selection Round. (II) After 15 Days, Project will get held automatically and the Client needs to contact Branduo Studio Support to reactivate the Project. For every reactivation request, the project will be reactivated for 3 more days. (III) If the project doesn’t completed within 45 Days and if the Client still needs reactivation of the Project in that case, the client needs to complete all the remaining due payments for that project. (IV) If the client doesn’t complete the project in 90 Days, in that case, Project will be closed forever from the Branduo Studio side and Branduo Studio will keep all the initial payments made for the project. (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer has no right or license to use any Design Concepts other than the Sold Design. Customer may not: (a) run a Design Project if Customer is tendering the creation of the same design through a service other than the Site, (b) allow or request Designers to submit Design Concepts to Customer via any means other than via the Site; and (c) collude concerning the awarding of a winner in a Design Project or awarding a separate account held by Customer as the successful Designer in a Design Project. (d) Customers and Designers must deal on an arm’s length basis and the Customer may not cancel any Design Project to contract separately with a Designer who the Customer meets through the Site which results in the Customer avoiding paying Branduo Studio any Customer Payment or any fees and charges of Branduo Studio. (e) Some jurisdictions provide Customers certain mandatory statutory rights (e.g., right to supplementary performance (e.g., rectification or replacement), right for a refund, right to withdrawal, right to reduce the price, and right to damages in case the Design Concepts are defective) (collectively, “Mandatory Statutory Rights”) which remain unaffected.
2. Payment Terms
The following terms apply to Customers who have purchased a Sold Design and Designers who have sold a Sold Design.
2.1 Payment and Delivery
(a) the Customer will pay the Payment to Branduo Studio and will clear all the remaining dues of the project, and (b) the Designer will upload the appropriate files of the design to the Design Handover Tab, in a format specified by Branduo Studio. For the Project Services, (1) the Designer will upload the Design and if the Customer accepts the Design as described above, then (2) the Customer needs to complete all the due payments before selecting the final design. The “Customer Payment” means (i) the price selected by the Customer when the Customer created a Design Project as set forth and add-on prices if selected while placing the projector while working on a project through the project addon page. or (ii) the invoiced price for the Bulk Project Request issued through Branduo Studio before starting the project.
2.2 Refunds
- All the payments made to Branduo Studio are completely non-refundable. We believe in quality work towards any design task and we give our best to satisfy the clients from our end. For the same reason, we do not believe in full advance payment and wants to keep our dues to our clients until our designers satisfy clients’ need. Branduo Studio may refund Customers for the following reasons: (i) the Sold Design is Defective; (ii) Branduo Studio is required by law or considers that it is required by law to do so; (iii) Branduo Studio determines that issuing a refund to the Customer will avoid any dispute or increased costs to Branduo Studio; (iv) Branduo Studio issues the refund to Customer under any refund policy specified by Branduo Studio from time to time; (v) the order placed (or request made) by Customer is found to be fraudulent. A Sold Design will be deemed to be “Defective” if: (i) Customer and Designer agree it is defective and notify Branduo Studio of this fact; (ii) the Sold Design is subject to a third party claim that the Sold Design infringes/misappropriates such party’s IPR, that is not frivolous. If any reason regarding the design, Branduo Studio refunds the payment to the Customer; then the designer will have to reimburse the total project amount (not only the project incentive) to Branduo Studio. If the designer failed to do so or failed to cooperate with Branduo Studio then Branduo Studio will take appropriate legal action against the designer and the designer may face consequences for the same.
