Copyright Policy ⚖️

Last Updated: August 2025

At Logo Foundry, we are committed to creating original designs, content, and creative assets you can trust. This policy explains how copyright protects our work, your rights as a client, and our procedures for addressing copyright matters. We take intellectual property rights seriously and expect our users to do the same.

1. Ownership of Logo Foundry Content

All content on the Logo Foundry website, including but not limited to source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, graphics, logos, images, layouts, branding, blog posts, articles, and trademarks (collectively, the “Company Content”), is the proprietary property of Logo Foundry or its licensors. All rights to such Company Content are reserved and protected under United States and international copyright laws, trademark laws, and other intellectual property rights.

The Company Content is provided on the Site “AS IS” for your information and personal use only. Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions or with our prior written consent, no part of the Site and no Company Content may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever.

You are expressly restricted from:

• Copying or reposting our blog content or articles.
• Saving and using our images or designs elsewhere for commercial purposes without permission.
• Claiming any of our work as your own.
• Deleting any copyright or other proprietary rights notices from any Company Content.
• Engaging in any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools in relation to our website.
• Using the Site or Company Content as part of any effort to compete with Logo Foundry or for any revenue-generating endeavor or commercial enterprise not specifically endorsed or approved by us.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in and to the Site and the Company Content.

2. Client Logo Designs & Intellectual Property Transfer

When you hire us to design a logo or other custom creative assets:

• Ownership Transfer: Upon full and final payment and your approval of the project, you (the Client) receive full ownership rights to the final approved logo or other custom Deliverables. For such custom work, the Deliverables are considered “work made for hire” belonging to the Client. If not classified as “work made for hire,” Logo Foundry agrees to assign, and upon creation, automatically assigns all Intellectual Property Rights therein to the Client upon full payment.
• Usage Rights: This ownership includes rights to use the logo on your business cards, websites, products, and marketing materials.
• Unused Concepts: Rejected concepts, drafts, preliminary ideas, and any raw files not selected as the final Deliverable remain the exclusive property of Logo Foundry.
• Client Content: You retain all Intellectual Property Rights in any content you provide to Logo Foundry for use in your designs (e.g., reference images, text). You warrant that you have the necessary rights to use such content and that it does not infringe on any third-party rights.

2.1 Trademark Disclaimer for Non-Exclusive Elements

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: If your logo design incorporates any non-exclusive elements provided by Logo Foundry (e.g., stock icons, generic shapes, or elements from a template library that are not uniquely created for you), or if it is generated using AI tools, Logo Foundry cannot guarantee that such a logo will be unique or legally trademarkable. Stock media is non-exclusive and licensed to many users, and allowing trademarking would grant exclusive rights to non-exclusive content, potentially leading to widespread IP conflicts.

It is your sole responsibility to conduct thorough trademark searches and legal due diligence for any logo created using our Services, especially if it incorporates non-exclusive elements or AI-generated content, before using it commercially or attempting to trademark it. Logo Foundry disclaims all liability regarding the trademarkability or uniqueness of such designs.

3. Logo Foundry’s Right to Showcase Work

Logo Foundry retains the right to display the completed work in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials for promotional purposes. However, we will not do this if you request confidentiality in writing before the project is completed.

4. Reporting Copyright Violations (DMCA Notice)

We take copyright protection seriously and respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe any of our content has been used without authorization or copied improperly, or if you believe that content on our Site infringes upon your copyright, please send a written notification of claimed infringement to our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
4. Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Upon receipt of a valid notice, Logo Foundry reserves the right to remove Content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at its sole discretion, and without liability. In appropriate circumstances, Logo Foundry will terminate a user’s account if they are determined to be a repeat infringer.

5. Legal Action

Unauthorized use, copying, reproduction, modification, distribution, or republication of our Company Content without express written permission may result in legal action, including claims for damages, injunctive relief, and recovery of attorney’s fees. We would much rather collaborate than litigate, so please respect our work and creativity.

6. Changes to this Copyright Policy

We may update this Copyright Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. The most current version will always be available on our website, and the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Your continued use of the Services after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Copyright Policy.
