Secure your business with our Surface Designer Agreement template, perfect for one-on-one services where you assign the intellectual property of your creations. Designed for pattern designers who produce kick-arse designs for various surfaces, this template simplifies complex IP ownership and payment terms. Ideal for businesses of all sizes, it's about taking your business seriously from the start. By putting things in writing, you not only protect yourself but also provide clarity and certainty for both parties. 

When you're engaged in one-on-one pattern design services and looking to assign ownership of your designs, this Surface Designer Agreement is your go-to resource. It's crafted specifically for situations where you create custom designs and agree to transfer the intellectual property rights to your client. This ensures that every aspect of the ownership transition is legally sound and mutually agreed upon. 

Choose the Right Agreement for Your Business Model 

If your business involves creating designs to license rather than assign (aka transfer ownership), our License Agreement for Surface Pattern Designers is the better fit, offering comprehensive terms for bespoke licenses. Additionally, if you operate a pattern library, our Pattern Library Terms & Conditions template will be ideal. These specialised templates ensure that you're using the most suitable agreement for your specific business approach.

IMPORTANT  

Purchasing our fill in your blanks templates for you to customise and ensure they suit you and your business needs, utilising our free resources or having a chat with us as part of a consultation doesn’t create a lawyer-client relationship between you and Foundd Legal (sorry!). It also doesn’t constitute legal advice. Please consult with a lawyer for any questions. 

We do offer templates for countries outside of Australia, you will see on the specific template page which country or countries the template is available for, just make your selection! Unfortunately at this time, we are only offering templates for the countries specified.  

Our templates are however customisable for countries outside of Australia, and whilst they are a good base and potentially save you money getting something created from scratch, it would be prudent to have a lawyer in your country to review the template especially if you have any questions.  You get a single user licence and can re-use the templates you purchase as many times as you want for your own business needs! But keep in mind we’re a small business just like you, offering a service and we need more people like you to help us continue to grow - just like you!  So from the bottom of our humble hearts, thank you for making a legit purchase and not sharing!  Use of this Site and your purchase of any digital products or downloading of any free resources, are subject to our Terms and Conditions

Upon completing your purchase, you will immediately receive a download link to access the template, along with a PDF User Guide and Video Tutorials to facilitate quick and easy customisation. While you can begin tailoring your contract immediately, please keep in mind that this is a generic template designed to cover typical situations in relating to your industry. We strongly recommend reviewing and adjusting key provisions, such as intellectual property rights, payment terms, client obligations or any other provisions that are important to you, to ensure that they precisely fit your unique circumstances and legal requirements. For specific legal issues or a contract tailored exclusively to your needs, consulting a legal professional is advised.

While the templates provide a strong legal foundation, we recommend having a lawyer review them to ensure they meet your specific needs and legal requirements.

The Services Agreement for Surface Pattern Designers is designed for surface pattern designers who engage in one-on-one client services and wish to assign the intellectual property rights of their designs to the client. It covers all the legalities, ensuring both parties have clear, agreed-upon terms.

If you're looking to license your designs rather than assign them outright, our License Agreement for Surface Pattern Designers is the more suitable choice. It's tailored for situations where you retain ownership and grant usage rights to your clients under specific terms.

For pattern designers operating a pattern library, our Pattern Library Terms & Conditions would be the best fit. This template is specifically crafted for scenarios where multiple clients access and use your designs under a set of terms and conditions.

Using the Services Agreement for Pattern Designers template like ours ensures that you cover all legal bases in a clear and comprehensive manner. It not only protects your rights as a pattern designer but also establishes a professional tone for your client relationships.
