Welcome to Tarawebdesigns! Please read the following Terms of Service carefully before purchasing any of our logos and/or custom work:

COPYRIGHT ISSUES

1. The copyright to the final, accepted logo in all its forms is automatically transferred to the client upon completion of the design process. Tarawebdesigns will not have the right to resell or reuse the logo in any way. The only right Tarawebdesigns retains is the right to display all concept logos and the final logo design as part of our portfolio of past work, either on the Internet or any promotional material.

2. In the custom logo design process, many logos are created that are not accepted by the client. Tarawebdesigns will retain ownership of all such concept logos, except for the final (accepted) version of the logo which will become the exclusive property of the client. This does not apply to pre-designed logos where the concept designs and final logo are very similar.

3. Although each logo design is created from scratch and is 100% original, Tarawebdesigns can not guarantee that a very similar logo does not already exist. Tarawebdesigns therefore offers no guarantee regarding the availability of trade names or trademarks. If a similar logo exists, Tarawebdesigns will work with the client to make the necessary alterations to the logo, free of charge. However, by ordering a logo design from Tarawebdesigns, the customer indemnifies Tarawebdesigns, it's owners and affiliated companies/affiliated individuals/logo designers from legal responsibility regarding all intellectual property, copyright, trade name and trademark issues. The customer agrees to take sole legal responsibility should the logo design be infringent upon existing intellectual property rights, copyrighted material, trade names or trademarks of any kind.

4. Although Tarawebdesigns guarantees that all it's designs are original, it cannot always ascertain whether images submitted to it by a client are protected by copyright. When a client requests a logo to be drawn from an existing image, the client accepts full responsibility should the resulting logo infringe on the copyright of the original image.Tarawebdesigns will in all cases expect the client to, and assume that the client did, do the necessary research regarding ownership or copyright of the original image. By submitting an image to Tarawebdesigns, the client declares that he or she either owns the copyright to the image or has the necessary permission to use it.

TURNAROUND TIMES

5. The turnaround times indicated on the web site cannot be guaranteed. We normally deliver batches of concept designs (custom logos) within 2 business days. We normally deliver pre-designed logos within 2 business day.  We love happy clients and are 100% committed to delivering within the indicated turnaround times whenever humanly possible.

6. If we develop a logo for you and, at any stage of the process, you stop responding, your project status will remain "active" for 12 months. After 12 months the project status becomes "completed", which gives Tarawebdesigns the right to show the logo in its portfolio of past work, if it chooses to do so. Should you wish to resume the design work after 12 months, a new order must be submitted. Note that the 12-month deadline only applies in cases where the client stops responding. As long as we hear from you at least every 12 months, your project status will remain "active" until completed.

OWNERSHIP POLICY

7. Tarawebdesigns will make no claim of ownership to designs for which payment has been received. The final design becomes the sole property of the client who may use the design for any purpose.

8. Although Tarawebdesigns disables the link to the order page of pre-designed logos soon after they are purchased, it can happen that two clients order the same logo before the logo is marked as "Sold ". In such cases, the first complete order received byTarawebdesigns is accepted. If your order is the second of the two, you may either request an immediate and full refund, or you may select any other available pre-designed logo from the site . An order will be deemed "complete" once payment is received, cleared and matched to the order. Any problems in the order that can cause delays, such as a typo in the email address entered in the order form, means that the order is not complete until Tarawebdesigns has been able to resolve the issue.

9. Tarawebdesigns may display your designs on its web site and related web sites after they have been sold, provided that they form part of a portfolio of past work and is not offered for sale. We do however understand that your project might be confidential and that you might not want the designs made public prior to the launch of your product or service. In such cases you must very specifically ask that the designs be excluded from our portfolio. While we cannot guarantee that we will exclude your designs from our portfolio, we normally would have no problem excluding them for a period not exceeding 12 months.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE POLICY

10. While Tarawebdesigns guarantees that you can use your designs for any process under the sun (such as printing it on a T-shirt, embroidery, letterheads etc.) the assumption is that modern processes are used. For example, if you want your logo printed onto a T-shirt and your printer uses some kind of obscure, stone-age stenciling technique, we reserve the right to charge extra if we have to create a version of the logo especially for that printing technique.

11. The term "unlimited alterations" obviously does not mean that we will keep making changes to your logo until the end of time. If we did that we would quickly become bogged down making free alterations to logos after they have been finalized. The term "unlimited alterations" means that we will keep working on your logo until you are satisfied - even if that takes until the end of time - but once you accept one of the concept designs as your final logo and we finalize it, that's it. The logo project is closed. If you later decide to change your company name, for example, we will gladly refinalize your logo for you with the new company name, but a minimum design fee of $50 applies for changes after finalization. The actual fee is usually $50, but that depends on the complexity of the changes.

12. In the highly unlikely event of a design error slipping through on one of the design files, Tarawebdesigns will correct the error free of charge. Tarawebdesigns will however not be liable for any damages or loss incurred as a result of an error, even if the error is on our side and was brought to our attention. Clients are urged to check designs closely and to proofread all text prior to accepting a design.

13. Tarawebdesigns may change specifications of any aspect of its service, prices and the Terms of Service above at its discretion and without notice.
