Intellectual Property and Portfolio

Website materials

Unless stated otherwise, the AFTERHOURS name, logo, website layout, original written content, graphics, illustrations, animations, videos, code and other original website materials are owned by or licensed to the relevant rights holder. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You may view and use the website for personal or business evaluation. You may not copy, sell, distribute, modify, publish or commercially exploit website materials without prior permission, except where permitted by law.

Project deliverables

The ownership, licence, permitted use, source-file delivery, third-party components and transfer of rights for client work are defined in the project’s written proposal or agreement.

A transfer or assignment of copyright must be documented in the form required by applicable law. The parties should identify the relevant deliverables and the rights, duration, territory and consideration covered by any assignment. Payment alone is not treated as a complete substitute for the required written IP terms.

Background materials and reusable know-how

Unless a project agreement says otherwise, each party retains its pre-existing materials, tools, templates, processes, know-how, software, methods and intellectual property. If such material is incorporated into a deliverable, the project agreement should describe the licence needed for the client to use the deliverable as intended.

Third-party assets

Fonts, stock images, music, plugins, open-source software, APIs, libraries and other third-party materials remain subject to their respective owners’ licences. Their rights may not be transferable to a client. Where relevant, the client may need to obtain its own licence or account.

Client-provided materials

Clients retain ownership of their supplied logos, brand assets, content, photographs, data and other materials, subject to the permissions needed for AFTERHOURS to carry out the agreed work.

Portfolio display and publicity

AFTERHOURS will not assume that confidential or unreleased client work may be publicly displayed. We seek permission before presenting confidential work, unreleased materials, client marks, identifiable project screenshots or results in our public portfolio, unless the project agreement expressly grants that permission.

Rights concerns

If you believe material on the website infringes your rights, email afterhourscompile@gmail.com with the relevant page or material, a description of the rights concerned and your contact details so we can review the request.
