Privacy & Non-Disclosure

Media Nouveau is respectful of clients' privacy needs and will not disclose sensitive information shared during consultation. Marketing strategies, product descriptions, research and development data, financial information, and current or future business plans will be kept confidential.

Licensing & Copyright

Preliminary Art versus Final Art

Early in each project, Media Nouveau may produce many sketches, rough drafts, visualizations and comps. These elements are Preliminary Art created to demonstrate possible design solutions. Some of these ideas will be rejected, while some will be modified and refined. Clients do not receive licensing for or permanent possession of Preliminary Art.

Usually only one concept will be taken through to completion and upon Client approval it is designated as Final Art.

Licensing

A license is a limited granting of rights from Media Nouveau to the Client to use the intellectual property comprising the Final Art in a specific way. Unless otherwise specified in our contract, Media Nouveau will grant a license for limited usage. This means that you will not be permitted to modify the work or license it to a third party without permission. In our preliminary contract, we will define whether your license is valid for specific products, in particular media, for print, interactive or environmental purposes.

We must also negotiate whether your license will be exclusive or nonexclusive. If your license is exclusive, it means that although Media Nouveau will retain ownership of the work, Media Nouveau will not grant anyone else permission to use the deliverables – only you will have permission to use them. Purchasing an exclusive license is a good way to protect your brand. Unless your license is specified as exclusive in your contract, it will be considered non-exclusive, which means that I retain the right to grant license to others who would like to use the work.

Code as Intellectual Property

Media Nouveau retains ownership of all code written to develop, run, display or use your final deliverables. Upon receipt of payment, we will grant you a non-exclusive license to copy and use the code.

Accreditation

All displays or publications of the Final Art must bear copyright or credit to Media Nouveau and/or medianouveau.com.

Records of the Project

Media Nouveau is entitled to access all completed designs, displays, installations, or exhibits under optimal circumstances in order to document, photograph or otherwise record the work for promotional purposes.

Portfolio Use

Media Nouveau retains the right to reproduce, publish and display preliminary designs as well as samples of the completed project in our portfolio, website, and marketing materials. We may choose to submit the work to competitions, galleries, periodicals, or other avenues for professional advancement.

Payment Policies

Fees

Media Nouveau charges an hourly rate, plus expenses, for most creative services. Expenses include, but are not limited to, printing, shipping and handling, font licensing, stock image licensing, necessary software purchases, photography supplies, film development costs, and coffee. (Okay, not really the coffee part, just checking to see if you’re still awake.) Expenses will be itemized on each billing invoice.

The Client shall pay all costs of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees. In addition to any other right or remedy provided by law, if the Client fails to pay for the Services when due, Media Nouveau has the option to treat such failure to pay as a material breach of this Contract, and may cancel this Contract and/or seek legal remedies.

Payment Schedule

Payment is due before services are rendered.

Contract Termination

We ask that you do not unreasonably withhold acceptance of, or payment for, your project. If, for any reason, your project must be canceled, notify us in writing as soon as possible (an e-mail is acceptable). You will be held financially responsible for the fees and expenses incurred prior to the cancellation. Upon official termination of the project, your initial deposit will be refunded less the amount owed. In case of a terminated contract, Media Nouveau will retain the rights to all art created during the design process, and should you use any of these design elements I will take legal action. You will be held responsible for the expenses and attorney’s fees in any action brought to recover payment.

Refund Policies

Non-Tangible Goods

Media Nouveau does not offer refunds on non-tangible, irrevocable goods such design consultation and labor, but we provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee on our designs, meaning we will work tirelessly to refine your preliminary artwork until you are satisfied with the results. (Tireless work is subject to standard hourly rates and expenses, of course.)

Errors & Omissions

Media Nouveau does not offer refunds on work containing errors or omissions. It is your responsibility to check proofs carefully for accuracy in all respects, ranging from spelling to technical illustrations. We are happy to provide a referral to a local, professional proofreader/copy editor if you have concerns about the accuracy of your content.

Third-Party Goods & Services

Media Nouveau does offer refunds on third-party items such as domain names, stock photography or software plug-ins. You must contact these vendors directly if you are dissatisfied with their products or services.
