The VistaPrint General Terms and Conditions are incorporated by reference into and deemed to be part of these Essential Logo Terms, except to the limited extent that the VistaPrint General Terms and Conditions are expressly modified below.

If you do not agree with all of the provisions of these Essential Logo Terms, VistaPrint in collaboration with its affiliate 99designs will not be able to perform an Essential Logo Design Project for you.

We reserve the right to make changes to these Essential Logo Terms and to the Essential Logo Design Project offered by Vista at any time without prior notice. You should review these Essential Logo Terms, and the VistaPrint General Terms and Conditions, each time you access the Essential Logo Design Project pages hosted by VistaPrint and 99designs (“Site”) and its related logo design project services, features and/or functionality available or provided on or through the Site (“Service”). When we make updates to these Essential Logo Terms and/or VistaPrint General Terms and Conditions, we will update the date at the top of this page. By requesting an Essential Logo Design Project and using the Site and Service offered by Vista after a new version of the Essential Logo Terms and/or VistaPrint General Terms and Conditions has been posted, you agree to the terms and conditions of such new version.

Additional Terms

Certain features of the Essential Logo Design Project may be subject to additional policies, codes or guidelines (collectively, the “Additional Terms”), which are or will be posted on the Service or Site in connection with such features and may be amended or updated from time to time. These Additional Terms include, without limitation, the Client Guidelines.

Such Additional Terms are incorporated by reference into these Essential Logo Terms and are deemed part of these Essential Logo Terms. In the event of any conflict between the Additional Terms and these Essential Logo Terms, these Essential Logo Terms shall prevail.

99designs by Vista is part of Vista, a global e-commerce business with a primary objective of being the expert design and marketing partner for small businesses. Vista strives to meet this objective through a wide variety of products and services offered and delivered by a growing collection of Vista signature services, which include 99designs by Vista, VistaPrint and VistaCreate, among others (collectively, the “Vista Signature Services”). The Vista global e-commerce business is operated through the collective efforts of VistaPrint and 99designs and a number of its global corporate affiliates (collectively, the “Vista Affiliates”).

_1. Service

_1.1 General

Vista provides an online platform that helps connect and support customers who wish to purchase designs (“Clients”) and designers who wish to provide such designs (“Designers”) through the Essential Logo Design Projects, Partner Integrations or otherwise. “User” means any user of the Essential Logo Design Project, Site or Services, and may be a Designer or a Client. “Sold Design” means the applicable winning Design Concept (as defined below) sold under an Essential Logo Design Project, following the creation of a design brief (“Design Brief”). Vista reserves the right in their sole discretion to restrict Clients or Designers from creating Essential Logo Design Projects using the services, features and/or functionality available or provided on or through the Site and/or Service and to remove Essential Logo Design Projects. Vista has no involvement in managing or providing the designs to Client and is simply providing the ability for Designer to store files for, work with Clients, and for Clients to request services from, view designs, provide feedback on Essential Logo Design Projects and pay Vista, using the services, features and/or functionality available or provided on or through the Site and Service. Designers invited by 99designs (in 99designs’ sole discretion) to participate in a Essential Logo Design Project may submit design concepts to the Client via the Service (“Design Concepts”). Designers should ensure that all Design Concepts comply with the Design Brief and are submitted in the format specified by Vista by following the instructions on the Service.

__1.2 Fixed Price Design Project __

Client can initiate a Fixed Price Design Project, such as an Essential Logo Design Project, by selecting a package that contains fixed Project Terms (“Fixed Project Terms”) and create a Design Brief. Vista will invoice Client for the Essential Logo Design Project, including the platform fee and any other applicable fees. Once Client pays Vista´s invoice, Designers can express interest in working on the Essential Logo Design Project. Client will choose one Designer to deliver Design Concepts based upon the Design Brief. Client and Designer will work together in accordance with the Design Brief and Fixed Project Terms on Design Concepts until Client selects a final Design Concept, which will be transferred from Designer to Client pursuant to the execution of the Design Transfer Agreement as further set out under Section 2.

Client is entitled to cancel a Fixed Price Design Project and request a refund if Designer has not delivered any Design Concepts to Client, provided it is within 60 days of Client Payment for the Fixed Price Design Project. If Designer has delivered Design Concepts to Client and Designer and Client cannot agree upon a final Design Concept, or Client otherwise wishes to cancel the Fixed Price Design Project and/or request a refund (a “Project Dispute”), Client may initiate a Project Dispute by informing Designer via the 99designs online platform. Client must initiate a Project Dispute within 60 of Client’s payment of Vista´s invoice, after which time Client loses the right to both initiate a Project Dispute and to any refund. Following the initiation of a Project Dispute, Client and Designer shall make good faith efforts to come to a mutually agreed upon resolution of such Project Dispute based upon the Fixed Project Terms. If after a reasonable amount of time, Client and Designer cannot reach a mutually agreed upon resolution to the Project Dispute, Vista shall determine the outcome of the Project Dispute in their sole discretion, including the amount of any refund to Client. If the Fixed Price Design Project is cancelled for any reason, including if the resolution of a Project Dispute does not result in the selection of a final Design Concept, Client will have no right to use the Design Concepts.

1.3 Partner Integrations

Vista may partner with unaffiliated third-party websites and platforms that wish to integrate with Vista to enable Clients to identify potential providers of design or other services and connect with Designers on the 99designs platform and to work with each other on design projects (each such integration being a “Partner Integration”). Clients who choose to acquire design services from Designers through a Partner Integration will be subject to these Terms in respect of any design services acquired and must sign up for a Vista Account. Designers acknowledge and agree that Vista may make their information available to our unaffiliated third-party partners who may make the information available on their own sites for the purpose of such Partner Integrations.

__1.4 Limitations and Restrictions. __

For the avoidance of doubt, Client has no right or license to use or transfer any Design Concept other than the rights they acquire to the Sold Design through the applicable Design Transfer Agreement. Client may not: (a) participate in an Essential Logo Design Project if Client is tendering the creation of the same design through a service other than the Site; (b) allow or request Designers to submit Design Concepts to Client via any means other than via the Site; and/or (c) collude in relation to awarding a separate account held by Client as the successful Designer in a Logo Essentials Design Project. Clients and Designers must deal on an arm’s length basis and Client may not cancel any Essential Logo Design Project for the purpose of contracting separately with a Designer who Client meets through the Site which results in Client avoiding paying Vista any Client Payment or any fees and charges of Vista.

2. Design Transfer Agreement

The Design Transfer Agreement, available at http://99designs.com/projects/design-transfer- agreement, sets forth the legally binding terms between the applicable Designer and Client for the sale of a Sold Design through the Essential Logo Design Project.

3. Payment Terms

The following terms apply to Clients who have initiated Essential Logo Design Projects and Designers who are participating in Essential Logo Design Projects.
3.1 Client Payment; Designer Fee. “Client Payment” means Vista´s invoiced price for the Sold Design based on the Fixed Project Terms issued through the Logo Essentials Design Project. “Designer Fee” means the charge to Client by Vista for Sold Designs less any introductory and platform fees retained by Vista.

3.2 Refunds

Vista will make refunds of the Client Payment to Client using the same payment methods that Client used to make the Client Payment to Vista or via any other method specified by Vista at its sole discretion from time to time. If a refund is paid to Client or a credit card charge back occurs, then: (a) Designer must reimburse 99designs for the applicable Designer Fee (the reimbursement will first be paid out of any 99designs Credits held by Designer and any remaining debt will be payable by Designer to 99designs on demand); and (b) Client will initially receive the amount of the Client Payment, less the Designer Fee and will receive the Designer Fee only once the Designer Fee is reimbursed by Designer to 99designs. Vista may refund Clients for the following reasons: (i) the Sold Design is Defective; (ii) Vista is required by law or considers that it is required by law to do so; (iii) Vista determines that issuing a refund to Client will avoid any dispute or increased costs to Vista; (iv) Vista issues the refund to Client in accordance with any refund policy specified by Vista from time to time; (v) the order placed (or request made) by Client is found to be fraudulent; (vi) Client placed a duplicate order (or request) in error; or (vii) in Vista´s sole opinion, Vista considers that it is likely that the refund is necessary to avoid a credit card charge back. A Sold Design will be deemed to be “Defective” if: (i) Client and Designer agree it is defective and notify Vista of this fact; (ii) the Sold Design is subject to a third party claim that the Sold Design infringes/misappropriates such third party’s copyright interests, and such claim is plausibly meritorious as determined by Vista in its sole discretion.

3.3 99designs Credits

There are three types of “99designs Credits”: (i) “Client Credits”, which are equivalent to one unit of the local currency based on the location of the Site (e.g., if you are using the U.S. site, the Client Credit would be equivalent to U.S. $1; if you are using the German site, the Client Credit would be equivalent to 1 Euro; etc.); (ii) “Designer Credits”, which are equivalent to U.S. $1 and are used by 99designs to pay the Designer Fee to Designers; and (iii) “Bonus Credits”, which are credits that have not been purchased by a User and are given to a User by 99designs in its sole discretion from time to time and are not equivalent to any currency and only exchangeable for Sold Designs. 99designs Credits are not legal tender and cannot be traded or sold to third parties. Client Credits or Designer Earnings Credits are convertible into the local currency based on the location of the Site. The balance of any Client and Designer Earnings Credits held by you may be reduced at any time by Vista for charge-backs or refunds, or for any amount owing by you to Vista, or to compensate Vista for any loss it has suffered as a result of any breach of these Essential Logo Terms by you. Provided that you are not in breach of these Essential Logo Terms and your Vista Account is not suspended, you may at any time (and Vista may require you to at any time) convert Client and Designer Earnings Credits which you hold in your Vista Account to U.S. dollars or any other currency specified by Vista from time to time. Any such payments will be subject to any minimum or maximum withdrawal amounts set by Vista, to address, for example, charge-backs and refunds. Vista is not an escrow service and does not hold cash or property on behalf of any person. All amounts deposited or paid to Vista are property of Vista and Vista may use those funds as it sees fit. The only rights that you have to receive payment of any amounts held by Vista are as set out in this Section 3.3. Upon termination of these Essential Logo Terms as stated in Section 12, all Bonus Credits will be cancelled immediately and you may convert Client Credits or Designer Earnings Credits described above.

3.4 General Payment Terms

You agree that you are responsible for the collection and/or payment of all Taxes which you may be liable for in any jurisdiction arising from your sale or purchase of any Sold Designs via the Site. Vista is not responsible for collecting, reporting, paying, or remitting to you any such Taxes. “Taxes” means any applicable duties, sales taxes, GST, VAT or other taxes which may be levied in respect of a transaction contemplated by these Terms.

4. Exclusivity and Non-Circumvention

4.1 Exclusivity_

You acknowledge and agree that Vista´s revenue is derived from its receipt of Client Payments made through the Site. Therefore, for 24 months from the time you meet any party through the Site (the “Exclusivity Period”), you must use the Vista Services as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that party or arising out of your relationship with that party (the “Vista Relationship”). You may opt-out of this obligation only if Client or prospective Client pays 99designs an “Opt-Out Fee” computed to be the greater of the following amounts:

(a) $2,500; or (b) 15% of the cost to the Client of the services to be performed in the Vista Relationship during the Exclusivity Period, as estimated in good faith by the prospective Client. To pay the Opt-Out Fee, you must request instructions by sending an email message to [email protected].

4.2 Non-Circumvention

You agree not to circumvent the payment methods offered by the Site. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you must not: (a) Share any personal information on your Profile (excluding personal websites and portfolios) in the way of email, video, phone or any other method of direct contact. (b) Submit proposals or solicit parties identified through the Site to contact, hire, manage, or pay outside the Site. (c) Accept proposals or solicit parties identified through the Site to contact, deliver services, invoice, or receive payment outside the Site. (d) Cancel any Essential Logo Design Project for the purpose of contracting separately with a Designer who Client meets through the Site. (e) Invoice or report on the Site or in an Opt-Out Fee request an invoice or payment amount lower than that actually agreed between Client and Designer. You agree to notify Vista immediately if another person improperly contacts you or suggests making or receiving payments outside of the Site. If you are aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention policy, please submit a confidential report to us by sending an email message to: [email protected].

You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any other User. Neither Designers nor Vista performs trademark clearances with regard to any Sold Design and as a Client, you are responsible for conducting whatever clearances or other investigations may be necessary to determine whether you may obtain trademark rights in a Sold Design and/or the Sold Design you purchased will not infringe or misappropriate the trademark rights of third-parties. Your interactions with other users are solely between you and such User and Vista will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions (excluding those directly due to wrongful acts or omissions of Vista). If there is a dispute between you and any User, we are under no obligation to become involved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vista will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services described in these Terms.

5.2 Release

You hereby release and forever discharge us, our Vista Affiliates and our and their officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from, and hereby waive and release, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, your use of the Site and/or Services, any interactions or transactions of you with, or act or omission of you in relation to other Users, including Clients and Designers and Third Party Sites & Ads, except in each case excluding those directly due to wrongful acts or omissions of Vista.

If applicable, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 in connection with the foregoing, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

__13. Disclaimers; Mandatory Statutory Rights

13.1 General Disclaimer_

The Site and Services are provided “AS-IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” and we (and our suppliers) expressly disclaim any warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including the warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, or non-infringement.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

13.2 Mandatory Statutory Rights

Some jurisdictions provide consumers and others with certain mandatory statutory rights (e.g., right to supplementary performance, right for a refund, right to withdrawal, etc.) which cannot be waived or limited by contract. These Essential Logo Terms are qualified by such mandatory statutory rights where applicable and shall not be interpreted to waive, limit or other abrogate such mandatory statutory rights.

__14. Limitation on Liability

14.1 In General._

In no event shall we, our Vista Affiliates and/or any of our suppliers or licensors be liable to you or any third party for any lost profit or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages arising from or relating to these Essential Logo Terms or your use of, or inability to use, the Site or Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Access to, and use of, the Site and Services are at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to clause 14.4), our (and our suppliers’) liability to you for any damages arising from or related to these Essential Logo Terms (for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action), will at all times be limited to the greater of (a) fifty US dollars ($50) or (b) amounts you have paid Vista in the prior 12 months (if any). The existence of more than one claim will not enlarge this limit. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental of consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you and you may also have other legal rights that vary from jurisdictions to jurisdictions.

14.2 The following Section applies to users in Australia:

If the Consumer Law under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (or analogous legislation) apply to these Essential Logo Terms and permits the limitation of liability for breach of warranty implied by legislation, the liability of Vista is limited, at the option of Vista, to: (a) in the case of goods, any one or more of the following: (i) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; (ii) the repair of the goods; (iii) the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or (iv) the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and (b) In the case of services: (i) the supplying of the services again; or (ii) the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.
