Provide clear, accurate, and timely information needed for project completion.

Acknowledge that delays in communication may delay your project delivery.
*Failure to meet deadlines or provide required materials may result in project cancellation or rescheduling without a refund.
VI. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & FILE OWNERSHIP
I. Standard Ownership
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all final deliverables provided by Chevellii LLC under any branding or design project are licensed to the client for commercial use upon full payment. This includes approved logo files, brand guidelines, and supporting assets, delivered in standard formats such as .PNG, .JPG, and .PDF.
II. Developmental Materials
All preliminary and developmental materials created during the course of the project — including but not limited to concepts, sketches, mockups, research notes, strategy documents, moodboards, and editable source files (e.g., .AI, .PSD, .PROCREATE) — remain the sole and exclusive intellectual property of Chevellii LLC. These materials are not included in the project’s base fee and shall not be distributed or reproduced by the client without written consent.
III. Full Ownership License (Optional)
Clients who wish to obtain full ownership and access to all editable source files and developmental materials may do so by purchasing a Full Ownership License for an additional fee of $2,000. Upon payment, Chevellii LLC will transfer all applicable intellectual property rights and deliver the requested files. This license must be requested before or at the time of final project delivery.
IV. Usage Limitations Without Full Ownership
Unless the Full Ownership License is purchased, the client may not edit, redistribute, resell, or repurpose preliminary or source materials in any way. Doing so will be considered a breach of contract and may result in legal action.
VII. PORTFOLIO RIGHTS
Chevellii LLC reserves the right to display completed work, including designs, branding assets, and project-related materials, in its portfolio, website, and other marketing channels (including social media, print, and digital advertisements) for promotional purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, visual mockups, case studies, and behind-the-scenes content.
If the client wishes to restrict such use, this must be explicitly stated and agreed upon in writing before the project begins. In such cases, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) or a specific clause will be mutually signed to override this standard provision.
VIII. FONTS & TYPEFACES
Unless otherwise stated, fonts used in logo designs and visual brand assets provided by Chevellii are transformed into vector artwork. As a result, these fonts are no longer editable and do not require a license for use in their final, non-editable form. This means you are not obligated to purchase a license for any font used in your final logo or brand assets, as long as the font remains flattened and uneditable in all distributed formats.
I. Editable Use and Licensing Responsibility
If you plan to use the same font(s) in editable or live formats — such as for marketing materials, websites, print collateral, or digital campaigns — you are responsible for obtaining the appropriate license for your intended use. Common types of licenses include:
-
Desktop license (for print design)
-
Web license (for use on websites)
-
Commercial/Extended license (for packaging, broadcast, or large-scale use)
Licenses can typically be obtained from reputable distributors such as:
-
Fontspring
-
MyFonts or Fonts.com
-
Type Network
Chevellii does not sell, transfer, or provide licenses for third-party fonts. It is solely the client’s responsibility to ensure all proper licensing is in place. We are not liable for any legal, copyright, or licensing issues resulting from the unauthorized use of typefaces.
II. Custom Chevellii Fonts & Typefaces
If your project includes custom fonts or typefaces personally created by Chevellii, the rights to use those fonts are non-transferable and restricted to the project scope unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. These custom-designed fonts are:
-
Exclusive to your brand’s visual identity package unless licensed otherwise
-
Delivered as flattened vector artwork unless you have purchased a separate editable font file license
-
Not to be modified, redistributed, or resold in any form without explicit written permission from Chevellii
-
If you are interested in licensing the custom font for broader editable use, please contact Chevellii for licensing options and terms.

If you’d like to confirm whether a specific font in your project requires a license or request the name of a font used, feel free to contact Chevellii directly.
III. RESTRICTIONS
The rights or permission to utilize any of the core concepts, thoughts, or sketches that I present are expressly disclaimed under these terms of service. Chevellii LLC shall retain ownership of all initial development materials, sketches, images, and unused concepts presented and taken into consideration (Chevellii LLC).
I may employ these previously utilized and undeveloped concepts in my creative and client work at any time. When an idea or design that was never used still has a look and feel that is similar to the finished logo, I will recycle it and change the styling so that the final product is sufficiently different to avoid confusion.
I reserve the right to present the completed logo and related designs in my portfolio, as well as in a variety of online galleries, portfolios, showcases, and awards, as well as in printed materials like books and magazines, in the present and in the future, unless otherwise agreed and negotiated.
Associated artwork and designs can include desktop icons, mobile phone and other portable device application icons, business card and stationery design, signage, and commercial print designs.
Any supplementary artwork and designs needed for this project may be utilized by me for both personal and commercial purposes as mentioned. If you choose to tweak, modify, or alter the final logo design, you do so at your own risk.
VI. TRADEMARK & COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER
PLEASE NOTE : I do not provide legal services, including trademark or copyright advice. The process of conducting trademark searches, copyright filings, or registering business names is complex, time-consuming, and may incur significant costs. If you intend to register your logo, brand, or any related assets as a trademark or protect them under copyright law, it is solely your responsibility to consult with a qualified legal professional or intellectual property attorney to ensure compliance and protection.
VII. BRAND NAMES RESPONSIBILITY
Before we begin any work, you are fully responsible for ensuring that your business name, product name, or brand name is legally available and free of conflicts. Chevellii LLC is not liable for any issues that arise from trademark conflicts, name disputes, or other legal complications after the project is completed. No refunds will be issued due to naming-related legal issues.
Logo Design Projects
Before starting a logo or visual identity project, please ensure your desired name is legally available for use. Changing the project name mid-process can lead to significant delays, additional costs, and a complete reassessment of the project scope and pricing.
If extensive logo development has already been completed and the name is changed, the project will be requoted and adjusted accordingly to reflect the additional work required.
How to Perform a Trademark & Name Availability Search
To reduce legal risks and avoid costly mid-project changes, we strongly encourage you to conduct the following checks before committing to a brand name:
I. Search the USPTO Trademark Database (U.S. only):
Visit https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks and use the TESS (Trademark Electronic Search System) to check for any registered trademarks that may conflict with your name.
II. Check Business Name Registrations:
Look up your state’s Secretary of State website to search for registered business names and ensure your desired name is not already in use.
III. Search Domain Availability:
Use sites like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains to confirm the matching domain name is available.
IV. Social Media Handle Check:
Search platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn to ensure your name (or something close to it) is available and not being used by someone in a similar field.
V. Google Search:
A quick online search can reveal existing brands, products, or controversies associated with the name.
VI. Consider Consulting a Trademark Attorney:
For maximum protection, consult a legal professional who specializes in trademarks to help you assess risk and file your trademark if necessary.
VIII. CANCELLATION POLICY
I. Client-Initiated Cancellation
All fees paid for a project are non-refundable if the client chooses to cancel the project for any reason, including but not limited to switching to another service provider.
II. Designer Unavailability or Illness
In the rare event that the assigned designer is unable to complete the project due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, Chevellii will assign another qualified designer to complete the work without delay.
If no suitable substitute is available, the client will receive a full refund for the incomplete portion of the project.
III. Project Termination by Chevellii LLC
Chevellii LLC reserves the right to terminate a project without refund under the following conditions:
Excessive micromanagement beyond what is considered reasonable.
-
Disrespectful or unprofessional communication.
-
A consistent lack of trust in the designer's process.
-
An inability to proceed after a reasonable number of original concepts have been presented.
-
Use of threats, hate speech, slurs, or harassment of any kind by the client will result in immediate and permanent termination of the project with no refund.
IV. Force Majeure
Chevellii LLC shall not be held liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, government actions, terrorism, war, civil unrest, accidents, supply chain disruptions, or other unforeseeable events. In such cases:
The client will be notified of the nature and expected duration of the delay.
Performance will resume promptly once the force majeure condition has ended.
XI. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CLAUSE
You acknowledge and agree that Chevellii LLC shall not be held legally liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or related to the use of any of our services, products, or content. This includes, but is not limited to, losses or damages resulting from errors, omissions, inaccuracies, delays, changes, or reliance on documents, designs, articles, links, reviews, advertisements, or any other information provided by Chevellii LLC or third parties.
All content, materials, and services are used at your discretion and risk. Chevellii LLC expressly disclaims all liability for any errors or inaccuracies in the content to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
We guarantee that all original designs delivered to you are created uniquely for your use and, to the best of our knowledge, do not infringe upon or plagiarize any existing work. We conduct limited due diligence through reverse image searches and checks against the WIPO database to help ensure originality. However, Chevellii LLC does not guarantee that our work is free from potential intellectual property conflicts and disclaims any liability related to disputes over the originality or legality of the delivered work.
You are solely responsible for conducting your own independent investigations and due diligence regarding originality, copyright, or trademark issues. If you have concerns or require a higher level of verification, please raise them before the start of the project.
V. MODIFICATIONS
We reserve the right to change or replace these Terms at any time. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised date.
