Terms & Conditions

Agreement and eligibility

These Terms and Conditions apply when a person accesses the WEQMU CORP website, requests a proposal, accepts an estimate, signs a statement of work, pays an invoice connected to services, or otherwise enters into a service arrangement that incorporates these terms. “Client” means the person or organization purchasing services. “WEQMU” means WEQMU CORP.

A person accepting services for an organization represents that the person has authority to bind that organization. The client must be legally capable of entering a contract and must provide accurate billing and project information. If the client does not agree to these terms, the client should not authorize work or use deliverables.

Website descriptions and starting prices are general information, not a binding offer. A project begins only after WEQMU confirms scope and acceptance requirements in writing and any required initial payment has cleared.

Services and project scope

WEQMU provides graphic design services that may include logo and visual identity design, social media graphics, marketing materials, packaging design, presentation graphics, and related production preparation. Exact deliverables, sizes, file types, revision rounds, fees, target dates, exclusions, and client responsibilities are defined in the applicable proposal, statement of work, invoice, or written confirmation.

Items not expressly listed are outside scope. Strategy, naming, copywriting, photography, illustration, animation, web development, printing, manufacturing, regulatory review, trademark clearance, translation, accessibility auditing, or ongoing account management are included only if specifically stated.

WEQMU may refuse a request that is unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, discriminatory, infringing, unsafe, or outside available capability. WEQMU may also decline work that requires the unauthorized imitation of another party’s protected identity or content.

Estimates, fees, taxes, and payment

Prices shown on the website are starting prices in United States dollars. They describe the listed base service and may change when complexity, quantity, rush timing, research, production coordination, licensing, unusual file requirements, or additional revision rounds are required. A written project quote controls over a website price.

Payment schedules are stated in the project document. Unless that document says otherwise, invoices are due on receipt and work may be scheduled only after the required initial payment clears. Final files may be withheld until all amounts due for the relevant project have been paid in cleared funds.

The client is responsible for applicable sales, use, excise, withholding, value-added, or similar taxes other than taxes imposed on WEQMU’s net income. Bank charges, currency-conversion charges, chargeback fees, courier costs, printer charges, stock licenses, fonts, proofs, and other third-party expenses are chargeable only as stated or approved.

Overdue balances may cause scheduling, delivery, or support to pause. Any late fee must be expressly stated in the applicable invoice or project agreement and will not exceed the maximum permitted by law.

Client responsibilities

The client must provide a clear brief, accurate copy, correct dimensions, brand materials, production specifications, required legal text, references, access, decisions, and consolidated feedback within the agreed time. The client is responsible for the accuracy, legality, and completeness of information it supplies.

The client must designate an authorized approver. Feedback from multiple stakeholders should be consolidated before it is sent. WEQMU may rely on instructions and approvals from the designated contact until written notice of a replacement is received.

The client represents that it owns or has permission to use every logo, photograph, typeface, illustration, text, data set, testimonial, product claim, trademark, and other item it supplies. The client should not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and an appropriate method has been agreed.

The client is responsible for final regulatory, legal, trademark, labeling, product-claim, accessibility, and industry-specific review unless a qualified review service is expressly included.

Schedule, dependencies, and delays

Dates are estimates unless a project document expressly states that a date is guaranteed. A schedule depends on timely payment, complete source materials, consolidated feedback, approvals, supplier information, and reasonable availability. Delays in any dependency may move the delivery date and may require the work to be rescheduled around other commitments.

If the client is unresponsive for ten business days, WEQMU may pause the project. After thirty calendar days without the required response, WEQMU may close or reschedule the project after reasonable written notice. Restarting a dormant project may require a revised schedule or restart fee if stated in advance.

WEQMU is not responsible for delay caused by events outside reasonable control, including serious illness, power or network failure, platform outage, labor dispute, carrier delay, supplier failure, natural disaster, government action, or an emergency affecting safe performance. The parties will communicate and adjust the schedule reasonably.

Concepts, revisions, and change requests

The number of initial concepts and revision rounds is limited to the project scope. A revision round means one consolidated set of comments delivered at one time. Unused rounds have no cash value and do not transfer to a different project unless agreed in writing.

A request may be treated as additional work when it changes an approved direction, introduces new deliverables, changes dimensions or production specifications, replaces approved content, requires a new concept, expands the audience or channels, or arrives after final approval. WEQMU will identify material out-of-scope work and may provide an additional estimate before proceeding.

Exploration files, rejected concepts, internal notes, source research, and unused variations are not deliverables unless expressly listed. WEQMU may determine the reasonable methods and tools used to produce the work, subject to the agreed output requirements.

Review, approval, and corrections

The client must review every proof carefully, including names, spelling, dates, prices, contact details, dimensions, barcodes, legal lines, color expectations, image rights, and production specifications. Approval authorizes WEQMU to finalize or release the approved work.

WEQMU will correct an error introduced by WEQMU and reported within a reasonable period after delivery. A change to client-supplied material, an item the client approved, a supplier variation, a platform rendering difference, or a new preference is not an error and may be billable.

Screen colors, office printers, commercial printing methods, substrates, coatings, lighting, and device settings can produce different results. Physical proofs and supplier tests are recommended when color or construction is critical. Unless production supervision is included, final production decisions remain with the client and supplier.

Intellectual property and deliverable rights

The client retains ownership of materials it supplies. The client grants WEQMU a limited license to copy, modify, and use those materials solely as needed to evaluate, perform, document, and support the project.

Unless the project document states otherwise, after full payment WEQMU assigns to the client the transferable rights WEQMU owns in the final approved custom deliverables created specifically for the client. The assignment does not include pre-existing tools, templates, methods, processes, know-how, generic elements, licensed materials, fonts, software, stock assets, or rejected concepts.

Editable working files are delivered only when specifically listed. A final logo package may include vector and raster exports, but the internal software file, linked font file, plug-in, mockup, or licensed source asset is not automatically included.

WEQMU may retain archival copies for records, support, dispute handling, and legal compliance. WEQMU will not present confidential work publicly before the client’s launch or approval. Any right to identify the client or display final public work should be addressed in the project document; confidential treatment will be respected where agreed.

Fonts, stock assets, and third-party materials

Third-party materials remain subject to their own licenses. A font, photograph, mockup, illustration, template, plug-in, software component, or production resource may require the client to obtain or maintain a separate license. WEQMU will identify known client-side license requirements that are material to the agreed delivery.

The client must not use a preview, comp, trial asset, or unlicensed resource in production. WEQMU is not authorized to transfer a license where the original terms prohibit transfer. Provider availability and license terms may change independently of WEQMU.

Trademark registration, domain availability, patent rights, and legal clearance are not guaranteed. The client should obtain qualified legal review before committing significant resources to a name, mark, packaging claim, or regulated statement.

Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public business, technical, pricing, customer, or creative information from the other. The receiving party will use reasonable care, use the information only for the relationship, and disclose it only to people who need it and are subject to appropriate duties.

Confidential information does not include information that becomes public without breach, was already lawfully known without restriction, is received lawfully from another source, or is independently developed without use of the confidential information. A legally required disclosure may be made after notice where notice is lawful and reasonably practical.

Confidentiality does not prevent WEQMU from retaining ordinary accounting, contract, security, approval, and backup records as permitted by the Privacy Policy and law.

Suspension, cancellation, and termination

Either party may end a project as provided in the project document or the Cancellation and Complaints Policy. The client remains responsible for completed work, approved expenses, non-cancelable commitments, and work reasonably performed before the effective cancellation time.

WEQMU may suspend or terminate work for non-payment, repeated failure to provide dependencies, abusive or threatening conduct, suspected fraud, unlawful instructions, infringement risk, material breach, or a request that would compromise professional or legal obligations. Where practical, WEQMU will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure a remediable breach.

On termination, rights in unpaid work remain with WEQMU. After required payment, the client will receive the completed, approved, and deliverable work that the project document and circumstances require. Sections intended by their nature to survive—including payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, liability, dispute, and record provisions—continue after termination.

Limited warranties and disclaimers

WEQMU warrants that services will be performed with reasonable professional care and that, to WEQMU’s knowledge, original final work created solely by WEQMU will not knowingly copy a third party’s protected work. The client’s exclusive remedy for a proven service defect is reasonable correction or, where correction is not reasonable, an appropriate refund for the affected portion as required by law.

Except for express written warranties and rights that cannot be excluded, services and the website are provided “as available.” WEQMU does not guarantee a specific commercial result, sales increase, audience response, award, platform performance, registration outcome, printer output, manufacturing result, or freedom from every possible third-party claim.

Advice about design and production is not legal, tax, accounting, medical, regulatory, or trademark advice. The client remains responsible for qualified review where needed.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential loss, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost opportunity, loss of goodwill, or loss of data arising from the services, even if the possibility was discussed.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, WEQMU’s total aggregate liability arising from a specific project will not exceed the fees actually paid to WEQMU for the portion of that project giving rise to the claim during the twelve months before the event. This limit does not apply where liability cannot legally be limited and does not excuse the client’s obligation to pay amounts properly due.

The parties agree that fees reflect this allocation of risk. A claim must be brought within the period required by applicable law; no shorter contractual period is imposed by this paragraph.

Client indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, the client will defend and indemnify WEQMU against a third-party claim, damage, judgment, penalty, or reasonable cost arising from client-supplied material, an unlawful or misleading client instruction, a product claim, a failure to obtain permission, a use outside the agreed license, or the client’s material breach.

WEQMU will give reasonably prompt notice, permit the client to control the defense with qualified counsel, and provide reasonable cooperation at the client’s cost. The client may not settle a claim in a way that admits wrongdoing by or imposes a non-monetary obligation on WEQMU without written consent.

Complaints, governing law, and disputes

The client should first submit a clear written complaint using projects@weqmucorp.com, identifying the project, issue, desired resolution, and relevant evidence. WEQMU will acknowledge and review the complaint under the Cancellation and Complaints Policy.

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve a dispute through direct discussion before filing a formal claim, except where urgent injunctive relief, collection, or a statutory deadline requires earlier action.

Unless a project document states otherwise or consumer law requires a different result, these terms are governed by the laws applicable in the State of Montana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. State and federal courts with jurisdiction over Missoula County, Montana will be the agreed forum, subject to any non-waivable right to use another forum.

General terms and changes

The parties are independent contractors. These terms do not create employment, partnership, franchise, fiduciary duty, joint venture, or authority for one party to bind the other. The client may not assign a project agreement without consent, except as part of a genuine sale or reorganization that assumes all obligations. WEQMU may use qualified subcontractors and remains responsible for the contracted service.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. A delay in enforcing a term is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience. “Including” means including without limitation. Electronic approvals and counterparts may be used where lawful.

The applicable proposal, these terms, referenced policies, and written amendments form the agreement and replace earlier discussions about the same scope. A change is effective only when agreed in writing by authorized representatives, except that website terms may be updated prospectively. The current version is identified by the “Last updated” date.
