Terms of Use

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Idea Dive website and services. By visiting our website, submitting an inquiry, or entering into a service agreement with Idea Dive, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are using our services on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

Services Offered

Idea Dive is a creative studio offering branding, design, digital, and content services to startups, brands, and digital creators. The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for any engagement are defined in a separate project agreement or proposal issued by Idea Dive and agreed upon by the client prior to work commencing.

We reserve the right to refuse, modify, or discontinue any service offering at our discretion.

Intellectual Property

All content on the Idea Dive website — including text, graphics, logos, imagery, and code — is the property of Idea Dive and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.

With respect to client projects:

• Before full payment: All creative work, concepts, and deliverables remain the exclusive property of Idea Dive.
• After full payment: Ownership of the agreed final deliverables transfers to the client, as specified in the project agreement.
• Portfolio rights: Idea Dive retains the right to display completed work in its portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Client Responsibilities

To enable us to deliver quality work on time, clients agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information, content, and feedback
• Ensure all materials provided to Idea Dive are owned by the client or properly licensed for use
• Designate a single point of contact with authority to approve deliverables
• Respond to review requests within agreed timelines to avoid project delays
• Not hold Idea Dive liable for delays caused by the client's failure to provide necessary materials or approvals

Payment & Fees

Payment terms are defined in each project proposal or service agreement. In general:

• A deposit is required before project work begins
• Remaining balance is due upon project completion or as outlined in the agreement
• Invoices not paid within the stated period may incur late fees
• All fees are non-refundable once work has commenced, except where explicitly agreed in writing
• Scope changes requested by the client may result in additional charges, which will be communicated before work proceeds

Revisions & Approvals

The number of included revision rounds is specified in each project agreement. Revisions beyond the agreed scope will be billed at our standard hourly rate.

Client sign-off on deliverables constitutes final approval. Idea Dive is not responsible for errors or omissions discovered after a deliverable has been approved. Additional changes following final approval are treated as new work.

Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public, proprietary, or sensitive information shared during the course of an engagement. This includes business strategies, financial data, unreleased products, and client lists.

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is publicly known, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law. Where a formal NDA is required, it should be established prior to the sharing of sensitive materials.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Idea Dive shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website or services, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.

Our total liability in connection with any project shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for that specific project. We provide our services on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Prohibited Use

You agree not to use our website or services to:

• Engage in unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful activities
• Violate any applicable laws or regulations
• Infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party
• Transmit malicious code, spam, or unsolicited communications
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation

We reserve the right to terminate any engagement and take appropriate action if prohibited use is suspected.

Termination

Either party may terminate a project engagement with written notice, subject to the terms specified in the applicable project agreement. Upon termination:

• The client is responsible for payment of all work completed to the date of termination
• Idea Dive will deliver all completed, paid-for deliverables to the client
• Any deposits paid are non-refundable unless Idea Dive is the terminating party without cause

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from these Terms or from a project engagement that cannot be resolved amicably shall be subject to binding arbitration or the jurisdiction of the courts applicable to Idea Dive's registered location, as determined on a case-by-case basis.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or business practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of our services following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
