Intellectual Property & Licensing Policy

of estarz LLC, DBA Ezypzy Dev

In the following, the term “the Agency” refers to Ezypzy Dev.

Ownership of Work

All creative assets, designs, content, and strategic materials developed by the Agency remain the intellectual property of the Agency unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

By default, the Agency retains full ownership and grants the Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the final deliverables for their intended purpose.

Licensing & Usage Rights

The Client’s usage rights depend on the type of work produced:

Websites
The Client receives a license to use the developed website for business or personal use. The Agency retains the rights to underlying code, design systems, and proprietary frameworks unless otherwise agreed upon.
Brand & Packaging Identity
The Client receives the rights to use approved brand assets for business branding and marketing. However, raw working files (such as design drafts, fonts, or source files) remain the Agency’s property unless a transfer agreement is made.
Product Development & Manufacturing
Intellectual property rights for product designs, prototypes, and technical documentation remain with the Agency unless explicitly transferred in writing. Manufacturing and supplier relationships remain confidential to the Agency unless otherwise agreed upon.
Business Development & Strategy
The Client receives a license to use strategic recommendations for internal business use. The Agency retains ownership of methodologies, templates, and research materials.
Experiential Design & Interactive Content
The Client is licensed to use the final experiential and interactive assets as agreed. The Agency retains ownership of creative concepts, design elements, and interactive frameworks unless otherwise specified. Modifications or reuse outside the original project scope require additional approval.
Visual Design, Motion Graphics & UI/UX
The Client is granted a license to use completed designs, animations, and UI/UX components as intended. The Agency retains ownership of raw design files, animation structures, and interface frameworks unless transferred in writing.
Consulting
Insights, strategies, and recommendations provided by the Agency are for the Client’s internal use only and may not be resold, distributed, or reproduced without written permission.
Copywriting, Proofreading & Research
The Client receives a license to use the final written content for the agreed-upon purposes. The Agency retains copyright unless explicitly transferred.

Commercial Use & Transfer of Rights

If the Client requires full ownership or commercial usage rights, a separate licensing agreement must be arranged, which may include an additional licensing or buyout fee.
The following conditions apply for ownership transfers:

Full Copyright Transfer
Requires a signed agreement and may incur additional fees.
Exclusive Commercial Use License
Allows the Client to use work for commercial purposes while the Agency retains intellectual property rights.
Limited License
The Client may use deliverables under specific conditions outlined in the project agreement.

Restrictions on Use

Without explicit written permission, the Client may not:

Modify, resell, or redistribute the Agency’s work.
Claim the Agency’s work as their own.
Use drafts, rejected concepts, or preliminary versions beyond the agreed scope.
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any proprietary elements of digital deliverables.

Portfolio & Promotional Use

The Agency reserves the right to showcase completed work in its portfolio, marketing materials, and case studies unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

If the Client requires confidentiality regarding a project, a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) must be established before project initiation.

Third-Party Materials & Licensing

If a project includes third-party assets (e.g., stock images, fonts, software, or licensed templates), the Client is responsible for securing the appropriate licenses unless otherwise specified. The Agency is not liable for improper use of third-party assets by the Client.

Breach of Licensing Terms

Unauthorized use of the Agency’s intellectual property may result in legal action, cease & desist orders, or financial penalties. The Agency reserves the right to revoke usage rights if the Client violates the terms outlined in this policy.

Policy Changes

The Agency may modify these terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of services constitutes acceptance of the latest version.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of United States of America. Any disputes shall be resolved in courts located in the Federal Republic of United States of America or through binding arbitration where applicable.
