Last updated 15/07/24
THIS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement by and between House of the Makers and the client, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“Client”), with regard to access and use of House of the Makers website: https://www.houseofthemakers.com/ (the “Website”) and any other media form, channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked or otherwise connected thereto. Failure to agree and adhere to all of the terms, conditions and obligations contained herein results in the express prohibition of the Client’s use of the Website and Services, and the Client is ordered to discontinue use immediately. Thereafter the relationship between Client and House of the Makers shall cease and be of no further force and effect between the parties, except that any obligation of Client to pay House of the Makers for services rendered shall remain and continue to be an ongoing obligation owed by Client to House of the Makers. By signing up to a recurring payment plan with House of the Makers you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions listed in this agreement.
1. Intellectual Property Rights
Unless otherwise indicated, the Website is the property of House of the Makers and all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs and graphics of any nature and regardless of format (herein, collectively or individually, the “Content”) and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained there (the “Marks”) are owned and controlled by House of the Makers and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and any other applicable intellectual property law or regulation of the United Kingdom, Ireland, foreign jurisdictions and international conventions. The Content and Marks are provided “As-Is” for your information and personal use only. Except as expressly provided herein, no part of the Website and no Content may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without House of the Makers express prior written permission. House of the Makers reserves all rights in the Website, Content and Marks.
2. Ownership of Materials
Notwithstanding House of the Makers ownership of Submissions, as described in Paragraph 4 (“Client Feedback”), all design and original source files created on Client’s behalf (“Projects”) belong to House of the Makers, and House of the Makers shall be the sole owner of the copyright for all Projects unless otherwise agreed with the client or as part of the 'Custom' plan. In the event that any operation of law would cause the Client to become the owner of a Project, in whole or in part, rather than House of the Makers, the Client irrevocably and perpetually assigns its entire interest in the Project to House of the Makers, without limitation. Client warrants that any and all materials provided to House of the Makers as examples or as material to be incorporated into a project during the design process are owned by Client and do not infringe on or misappropriate any third party’s rights, including, but not limited to, all intellectual property rights and any right of publicity. House of the Makers always reserves the right to share the Client's design work publicy (social media, website, etc.) unless agreed upon as stated in section 18 of this document.
3. Third-Party Fonts
In the event that any Project incorporates fonts that are not owned by House of the Makers and require a commercial license in order for Client to legally reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the Project (“Third-Party Font(s)”), House of the Makers will inform the Client in writing that one or more Third-Party Fonts have been incorporated into the Project and that Client will need to purchase one or more licenses for the Third-Party Fonts from the rights-holder(s) of said Third Party Fonts in order to legally reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the Project. Said notice will include information sufficient for Client to identify which licenses are required and who to contact in order to purchase said licenses. So long as House of the Makers has informed Client of the incorporation of Third-Party Fonts as described above, Client assumes all responsibility for any consequences as a result of a failure by Client to purchase one or more licenses for any Third-Party Fonts incorporated into a Project.
4. Fees
Use of our Services requires payment of recurring fees. Before we have any obligation to provide Services, you must pay the fees (as well as applicable taxes) in full, in such amounts and for such billing frequency as specified during registration, as updated (prospectively, not retroactively) by you from time to time. All fees are due upon receipt of invoice or upon signup through the website. Failure of House of the Makers to provide an invoice does not relieve you of your obligation to pay the fees in accordance with the terms specified when you register.  You agree that, upon registering for the Services, you authorise us to charge your method of payment (e.g., credit card) for the fees and applicable taxes from your registration date based upon your chosen billing frequency (e.g., monthly or every 6 months). Overdue charges will accrue interest monthly at the rate of 1.5% of the then-outstanding unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.  We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account in the event you fail to pay amounts owed to us when due.  All amounts owed under this Agreement are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as specifically provided in this agreement. We reserve the right to change our fees upon 5 days’ advance notice.  By continuing to use the Services, you accept such changes. We are not required to notify you of temporary promotions or reductions in fees.
5. Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription with us at any time by contacting our support team at hello@houseofthemakers.com. If you cancel your subscription before the next renewal cycle, you can continue using your account and accessing your design files until the end of your paid billing term.  When your subscription expires, you will no longer have access to our Services and all design files associated with those Services.  We do not provide refunds or credits for partial months of service, downgrades, or unused time.
