1. Rush Fees:
Rush fees are assessed on a case by case basis.
Decisions are left solely to 36SQ, and are based on the availability
of appropriate individuals to accomplish the tasks, the turnaround
time required to successfully meet the client’s deadline of the
project, and whether previously established priorities need to be
rescheduled to meet the deadline. If you are not certain if rush fees
apply, request a written estimate before your project commences.

requested by the Client in original assignment. However, no additional payment
shall be made for changes required to conform to the original assignment
description. The Client shall offer the Designer the first opportunity to make any
changes.
3. Cancellation
In the event of cancellation of this assignment, ownership of all copyrights and
the original artwork shall be retained by Thirty Six Squares LLC, and a

usage highlighting a project or its elements. Credit lines shall be as follows:

liable for any losses or damages that arise from any aspect of the Project.

Any disputes in excess of $500.00 arising out of this Agreement shall be
submitted to binding arbitration before a mutually agreed-upon arbitrator
pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Arbitrator’s

jurisdiction thereof. The Client shall pay all arbitration and court costs,
reasonable attorneyʼs fees, and legal interest on any award of judgment in favor
of the Designer.

7. Delay of Project Fees
A fee of $36 per day will be applied to any project whose client is
nonresponsive to emails, calls, proofs, or other communications for a period
longer than 10 days. If the project does not progress due to a lack of client
interaction for a period longer than 15 days, the project will be deemed
"stalled" and placed on hold. A $100 reactivation fee will apply
to resume the project. If a client communicates, in advance, the need to delay,
postpone, or reschedule a project, no fees will be assessed.

RIGHTS & LICENSING

13. Graphic Design
Thirty Six Squares LLC transfers an unlimited, non-exclusive license to all
graphic design work. Reproduction by the Client may not compromise the
quality of the artwork. Thirty Six Squares LLC will make all reasonable effort to
provide files needed to maintain an accurate representation of the design’s
original quality.
14. Web Development
Thirty Six Squares LLC transfers a limited, single domain, non-exclusive license
to web development technologies and intellectual property. Reproduction or
modification under an additional domain is prohibited. Maintenance or access
by a third party requires a non-disclosure agreement between Thirty Six
Squares LLC and an authorized representative of that third party organization.

FONTS, STOCK IMAGERY & ILLUSTRATION

15. Third Party Intellectual Property
When the project requires elements which the client’s budget cannot afford to
make from scratch, we will engage the services of a stock agency or font
foundry on behalf of our client. The client is responsible for reimbursing
approved expenses for these elements, and is responsible for abiding by the
licensing terms accompanying those elements of intellectual property.

Proof approval is final. If an error is detected during the production or
publishing of an item, halting and modifying the project files will incur additional

incurred by execution of tasks using an approved file, even if that file is found to
later be erroneous in any way.
