1. Ownership of Deliverables

  1. Unless your Order states otherwise, and subject to payment in full:
    • you will own the specific Website or Application Deliverables we build for you (for example templates, page layouts, custom modules and configuration); and
    • we will keep ownership of:
      • our underlying tools, frameworks, components and know-how; and
      • any generic libraries or building blocks we use across multiple clients.
  2. We grant you a licence to use our underlying tools and components as part of your Deliverables, for the purpose of running your Website or Application.

2. Third-party software and services

  1. Some Deliverables may include or depend on:
    • open-source software licensed by third parties; and/or
    • commercial software or services licensed by third parties.
  2. We will use reasonable care to comply with the licence terms for these components.
  3. You are responsible for:
    • maintaining any required licences or subscriptions; and
    • complying with third-party terms where you contract with them directly.

3. Content, branding and assets

  1. You keep ownership of:
    • your content, branding, trademarks and logos; and
    • any assets you supply to us (for example images and copy).
  2. You grant us a licence to use these materials as reasonably required to deliver the services.

4. Portfolio use

  1. Unless you ask us not to in writing, we may:
    • refer to the Project in our marketing materials; and
    • show screenshots or examples of the Deliverables in our portfolio or case studies, provided we do not disclose confidential information.

5. Transfer and handover

  1. Where you want to move ongoing development to another supplier, we will:
    • give a reasonable handover of the Deliverables and related materials; and
    • provide access to code repositories where this has been agreed.
  2. Substantial handover work may be chargeable on a time-and-materials basis.
