Purchase of a Product signifies that the Client has read, understands, accepts and agrees to be bound by the Agreement, the specific terms and conditions of the Product, and any other policy or agreement set forth on the Site, including the Privacy Policy and General Terms.
2. SUBJECT MATTER OF THE AGREEMENT
2.1 General terms and conditions for all Products
A. Principles
A Product, its components or any additional product, component or service to the Product at the Client’s request is digital.
A Product is payable in full at the time of purchase. Any Product purchased is a final sale. Any additional product, component or service to the Product requested and paid for by the Client is a final sale.
The Client purchases a Product for the Client’s business activity or personal use.
The Client understands and agrees that any Product represents a design concept or idea expressed in graphic form and reflects the Designer’s view of the Client’s brand (product, service or occupation) in the Product, its components or any additional product, component or service to the Product at the Client’s request. The Client agrees that the Designer has its own design style and the Client approves the use of this style in a Product and its components, or any additional product, component or service to the Product at the Client’s request.
The Designer sells a Product to the Client as a unit in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in the Product. The Client must not substitute components of the Product for others from different Products, or add components to or delete them from the Product.
The Client completes a questionnaire concerning a Product (the Brief) that the Designer specifies as “custom”, “custom-made”, “made to order”, whose components, expressly specified, the Designer offers to modify according to the Client’s request, or in which the Designer deems the Brief necessary. The Brief contains a set of questions about the Client’s specific preferences or objectives, information and data about the Client for this Product. The Designer takes into account responses from the Brief and bases the design services for the Product on those responses.
The Designer may use third-party content with a free (open) license for commercial use (e.g., free Google fonts) (the Free Third-party Content) in a Product or its components, or any additional product, component to the Product at the Client’s request.
If a Product involves the Client in adapting or modifying the design of the Product on an external platform, e.g. Canva, this is expressly stated in the Product, and the terms and procedure are set forth in the description of that Product. The Designer does not provide training services for the Client on the use of such platforms. Such Product is limited to the Designer’s obligations set forth in the Product and this Agreement, and the Designer is not responsible for the operation and policies of these external platforms.
A Product is limited to the components expressly stated in the Product. However, given that the perception of any descriptive adjective (e.g. beautiful, elegant, modern, minimalist, classic) is subjective, and this adjective may have numerous definitions and is difficult to quantify, the Designer applies its understanding of the descriptive adjective used in the description of the Product to the Product and that adjective is non-guaranteed part of the Product or any of its components. Therefore, a Product is limited to the extent of the objective measurable components listed (e.g. x number of logos, x number of design for social profile photos).
A Product is single-concept, i.e. the Designer offers one design concept in each Product, unless otherwise expressly specified in the description of the Product. If the Designer offers more than one design concept for a Product, the terms and conditions of such offer are specified in that Product. In this Agreement, a design concept means graphic appearance and representation of the Designer’s particular separate idea of design for the Client in one particular Product.
The Client’s right to a revision or amendment to the design of a Product or a request for a change to the design of a Product is not included in the terms of the Product except as expressly specified in the description of the Product. The terms and procedure for the incorporation of a revision or amendment to the design are specified in the description of such Product. In this Agreement, a revision or amendment means one set of changes or adjustments, modifications required by the Client to the design and set forth in a single document without changing the essence and core principles of the concept or idea of the design. For example, a revision or amendment is one set of one or more changes of or to one or more colours, shapes of elements, an element layout (arrangement), replacement of one or more fonts, or addition or deletion of one or more elements, colours, fonts or combination of these changes. Any revision or amendment made by the Designer to the design of a Product is deemed an integral component of the Product.
B. Prices and Purchase
The Designer may change the price, components, terms and conditions of any Product without notice at any time.
The prices indicated on the Site do not include VAT.

By paying the Price, the Client places an order for the Product to the Designer (an Order). The Designer sends an Order confirmation to the email address provided on the billing details form.
The Price, components, terms and conditions of the purchased Product are unchangeable until the Order is completed unless a Party agrees a different price or other components, terms and conditions with the other Party in writing.
If a Product requires the Client to complete the Brief, the Client completes it prior to payment for the Product.
C. Delivery and Acceptance
The Designer delivers a Product to the Client in accordance with the terms and conditions and delivery time set forth in the description of the Product and in accordance with this Agreement.

The delivery time for a Product in which the Client selects a start date for the Designer to commence to perform the Product, starts to run from the start date.

A Product, except for a Product with instant delivery upon purchase, is deemed delivered by the Designer once the Designer has emailed the Files containing the Product in the file formats specified in the description of the Product or a direct download link to these Files to the Client.
A Product with instant delivery upon purchase is deemed delivered by the Designer once the Client has downloaded the Files containing the Product from the Site, or the Designer has emailed these Files or a direct download link to these Files to the Client.

For the avoidance of doubt, the reasoned objection is not applicable to the Designer’s design style or a Product with instant delivery upon purchase except for undelivered or corrupted files related to the Product.
