This End User License Agreement governs the use of digital deliverables, systems, code, automations, templates, and related materials created by ORD Studio. It applies to all clients who receive work from the studio, regardless of the nature of the engagement. By accepting a deliverable, you agree to the terms described here.
Ownership
On full payment, the client owns the deliverables created specifically for their project: the website, its code, content and designs, the automations, dashboards and internal tools, the documentation, and the accounts, domain and hosting set up in the client's name. Ownership passes without any further fee and without a separate document. Until full payment, the deliverables remain the property of ORD Studio.
License Granted
Some deliverables are built with tools ORD Studio made before the project or uses across projects, such as code libraries, component systems, templates and automation patterns. Where any of these end up inside a deliverable, the client receives a free, perpetual, worldwide and irrevocable licence to use, copy and modify them as part of that deliverable, including after the engagement ends and with any other developer. ORD Studio keeps the right to use the same general tools for other clients.
Permitted Use
The client may use, change, extend, host, move and hand over their deliverables in any way, with ORD Studio or with anyone else. No permission from the studio is needed for any change made after handoff.
Restricted Use
The only restriction concerns the studio's general tools described under License Granted: the client may not sell or distribute those tools on their own, separated from the client's project, as a product of their own. Everything created specifically for the client's project carries no restriction.
Third-Party Components
Projects delivered by ORD Studio may include third-party software, open-source libraries, plugins, fonts, icon sets, or platform integrations. These components remain subject to their own individual licences and terms of use. ORD Studio will disclose significant third-party dependencies where relevant, but it is the client's responsibility to remain compliant with any third-party licence obligations that apply to their continued use of the delivered work.
Source Files and Access
Source code, design files and editable files for everything built for the client's project are handed over on completion at no additional cost, together with access to the repositories and accounts involved. Where the code already lives in a repository in the client's name, it stays there. Anything the client later cannot find, the studio will send again on request.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property in the deliverables created for the client's project belongs to the client from full payment. ORD Studio keeps the intellectual property in its general tools, methods and know-how that existed before the project or apply across projects; the client's licence to use them inside their deliverables is described under License Granted.
Written Exceptions
Any change to these terms for a specific project must be agreed in writing and confirmed by both parties. Informal messages or implied understanding do not change them.
