Terms & Conditions
THIS USER AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) forms a legally enforceable contract between Cropd Creations LLC, a limited liability company established under the statutes of Washington (“Cropd.co”) and the user, whether as an individual or representing an entity (“User”), with respect to the access and use of Cropd.co’s subscription service: https://www.cropd.co/ (the “Subscription”) and any related media form, channel, mobile website or mobile application. Failing to agree and abide by all terms, conditions, and obligations stated herein results in an explicit ban on the User’s use of the Subscription, and the User must immediately cease its use. Subsequently, the relationship between the User and Cropd.co is terminated and holds no further relevance between the parties, except for any pending payment obligations from the User to Cropd.co for services provided.
Rights to Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise specified, the Subscription is the property of Cropd.co, and all source code, databases, functionalities, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, graphics of all forms (collectively or individually, the “Content”), and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the “Marks”), are owned and regulated by Cropd.co. They are safeguarded by copyright and trademark laws and other relevant intellectual property laws or regulations of the United States, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions. The Content and Marks are provided “As-Is” for your information and personal use only. Except as specifically provided herein, no part of the Subscription and no Content may be copied, reproduced, compiled, republished, uploaded, posted, displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose, without Cropd.co’s explicit prior written permission. All rights in the Website, Content, and Marks are reserved by Cropd.co.
Material Ownership
Despite Cropd.co’s ownership of Submissions, as outlined in Paragraph 4 (“User Feedback”), all designs and original source files created on behalf of the User (“Projects”) belong to the User, and the User alone owns the copyright for all Projects. If any legal operation results in Cropd.co, partially or wholly, becoming the owner of a Project rather than the User, Cropd.co irrevocably and perpetually transfers its entire interest in the Project to the User, without restriction. The User guarantees that all materials supplied to Cropd.co as examples or materials to be integrated into a project during the design process are owned by the User and do not infringe or misappropriate any third party’s rights, including, but not limited to, all intellectual property rights and any publicity rights. Cropd.co reserves the right to publicly share the User's design work (social media, website, etc.) unless otherwise agreed as stated in section 18 of this document.
Third-Party fonts
In cases where any Project includes fonts not owned by Cropd.co and require a commercial license for the User to lawfully reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the Project (“Third-Party Font(s)”), Cropd.co will notify the User in writing that one or more Third-Party Fonts have been used in the Project, and that the User will need to purchase one or more licenses for the Third-Party Fonts from the respective rights-holder(s) to lawfully reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the Project. The notice will include sufficient information for the User to identify which licenses are required and whom to contact to purchase said licenses. As long as Cropd.co has informed the User about the inclusion of Third-Party Fonts as described above, the User assumes all responsibility for any consequences resulting from the User’s failure to purchase one or more licenses for any Third-Party Fonts incorporated into a Project.
