1. Service

1.1. General Information

LogoLeague provides an online platform that helps connect clients seeking designs ("Clients") with designers who want to provide such designs ("Designers").

LogoLeague reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to limit and/or restrict Clients or Designers from organizing, creating, or participating in design contests or projects through the Site. Additionally, LogoLeague reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove design contests and projects.

LogoLeague does not involve itself in the management or delivery of designs to the Client, only facilitating Designers to store files and collaborate with Clients, allowing Clients to request services, view designs, provide feedback on contests and design projects, and make payments through the Site.

1.2. Design Contests

1.2.1. General Design Contest Rules

Clients can initiate a design contest (“Contest”) by creating a Design Brief, paying LogoLeague the Client Payment as specified in Article 3.1.1, and following other instructions set forth on the Site. The Contest period begins after the LogoLeague support team has completed the review, and the Client is notified within 24 hours confirming the launch details of their Contest. Clients can choose from different price packages. Design Contests consist of three distinct phases: (a) Draft Phase: In this phase, Designers upload logo designs offering more variety to choose from, (b) Finalist Phase: During this phase, the Client can collaborate exclusively with the preferred Designers selected in the “Draft Phase”, and (c) Selection Phase: In this final phase, the Client can refine the details of their favorite designs and choose the winning design (“Winning Design”). If the Client does not make a selection, the system will automatically choose the top 5 finalists based on Client ratings. If the Client does not provide feedback or ratings and does not select finalists and/or a winner, LogoLeague will determine the Winning Design at its sole discretion. If it is a Non-Guaranteed Contest (referred to in Article 1.2.3), LogoLeague will refund the Client as stipulated in Article 3.2.2.

After the Winning Design is chosen, the winning Designer can no longer upload changes.

The Client has the right to use the Winning Design of a logo under a Commercial Use License and according to the terms and conditions outlined in the Commercial Use License Agreement referred to in Article 2. Acquisition of additional licenses for non-winning designs is possible by contacting our customer service at [email protected].

1.2.2. Design Contest Categories

There are two categories of design contests: public contests and private contests. A standard Contest is public, and for the private contest option, search engine bots are blocked to prevent the Design Brief information from being disclosed. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, Designers agree not to disclose or reveal the information, images, and/or data provided by the Client in a private contest for any purpose. This implies (but is not limited to): (a) not including the Winning Design from a private contest in their portfolio, whether on LogoLeague or another platform, social media, etc., nor sharing or displaying the Winning Design anywhere on or off the web, unless they obtain the Client’s express and documented permission. In such case, the Designer must ensure not to show that the Winning Design was created through the LogoLeague contest format; and (b) not including in their portfolios, whether on LogoLeague or another platform, social media, etc., the designs submitted in a private contest, nor sharing or displaying these designs anywhere on or off the web, unless they remove information related to the Contest so that they are not linked to it in any way (this includes the Contest name, Client name, or other Design Brief information, among other aspects).

1.2.3. Types of Design Contests

There are two types of design contests: guaranteed contests and non-guaranteed contests. The Client can guarantee a Contest without incurring additional costs. If the Client guarantees a Contest (Guaranteed Contest), they must select a Winning Design. In this case, Designers are assured that their efforts will result in the payment of a prize.

If the Client is not satisfied with the designs and has not guaranteed the Contest (Non-Guaranteed Contest), they can request a refund in accordance with our Money Back Guarantee described in Article 3.2.2. However, if the Client has guaranteed the Contest (Guaranteed Contest), they are obliged to select a Winning Design, and no refund request will be accepted.

1.3. Design Projects

1.3.1. “One-on-One” Design Projects

The Client can initiate a design project (“Project”) by choosing a Designer and contacting them via chat through the Site to discuss the Project details. The Designer can then make an offer to the Client (the “Design Offer”), which will include the type of design to be delivered, delivery time, price, among other aspects. The Client must pay LogoLeague the Designer Fee specified in Article 3.1.2 to accept the Design Offer. Once the Client has paid the Designer Fee, the Designer and the Client will collaborate until a final design (“Final Design”) is delivered. The Final Design must be formally accepted by the Client. The Client has the right to use the Final Design of a logo under a Commercial Use License and according to the terms and conditions outlined in the Commercial Use License Agreement referred to in Article 2.

1.3.2. Dispute Over a Design Project

If the Designer has provided one or more designs to the Client and the Designer and the Client cannot agree on the Final Design, or the Client wishes to modify the Project, cancel the Project, and/or request a refund, the Client can initiate a Project dispute (“Project Dispute”) by notifying the Designer and LogoLeague through the Site. The Client must initiate a Project Dispute within 60 days after paying LogoLeague the Designer Fee, after which the Client will lose both the right to initiate a Project Dispute and the right to a refund. After initiating a Project Dispute, the Client and the Designer will make good faith efforts to reach a mutually agreed solution for the Project Dispute. If the Client and the Designer cannot reach a mutually agreed solution for the Project Dispute within a reasonable time, LogoLeague, at its sole discretion, will determine the final outcome of the dispute. LogoLeague will manage disputes individually, and the terms of the decision will include, but not be limited to, the decision on the designs submitted, the determination of the Final Design and its use, the decision on any refund to the Client, and the resolution of other aspects related to the Project.

1.4. Miscellaneous

1.4.1. It is established that the Client has no right or license to use any design other than the Winning Design or the Final Design.

1.4.2. The Client may not: (a) initiate a Design Contest or a Design Project if the Client is bidding for the creation of the same design through a service other than LogoLeague.com, (b) allow or request Designers to submit designs to the Client through any means other than through the Site, and (c) collude regarding the awarding of a winner in a Design Contest or the awarding of a separate account maintained by the Client as the winning Designer in a Design Contest.

1.4.3. Additionally, the Client may not cancel any Design Contest to separately hire a Designer the Client knows through LogoLeague.com, resulting in the Client avoiding paying LogoLeague any Client Payment or LogoLeague commissions and fees.

1.4.4. Designers are responsible for complying with the LogoLeague Code of Conduct and not violating the terms and conditions of any tool or resource used in the creation of Designs submitted during a Contest or Design Project.

1.4.5. Designers may not solicit or accept work or offer Designs to Clients through any means other than through the Site.

1.4.6. Clients and Designers must treat each other fairly.

2. Commercial Use License Agreement

The Commercial Use License Agreement, available here, sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions between the Designer and the Client for the use of a Winning Design or a Final Design of a logo under a Commercial Use License through a Design Contest or a Design Project, respectively.

3. Payment Terms

The following terms apply to Clients who have initiated Design Contests or Design Projects and Designers who participate in Design Contests or Design Projects.

3.2. Refunds

3.2.1. General Refund Terms

LogoLeague will issue refunds of the Client Payment or Designer Fee to the Client using the same payment methods the Client used to make the Client Payment or Designer Fee to LogoLeague or, from time to time, through any other method specified by LogoLeague at its sole discretion. Transaction costs charged by the payment platform or medium through which the refund will be made will be borne by the Client.

LogoLeague may refund Clients for the following reasons: (a) LogoLeague is legally obligated to do so, (b) LogoLeague determines that issuing a refund to the Client will avoid any dispute or increase in costs for LogoLeague, (c) LogoLeague issues the refund to the Client by any Money Back Guarantee policy specified by LogoLeague, (d) the request made by the Client is deemed fraudulent, (e) the Client made a duplicate request by mistake; and, (f) at the sole discretion of LogoLeague.

3.2.2. Non-Guaranteed Design Contests

In a Non-Guaranteed Contest, if the Client receives fewer than 50 entries, they will receive a 100% refund of the Client Payment amount. If they receive more than 50 entries, they will receive a refund of the Client Payment amount less the Participation Fee of USD 75.00 intended for Designer #1 determined according to the Client's ranking. In the event, that the Client does not provide rankings or in any other case not covered by this paragraph, LogoLeague will determine Designer #1 at its sole discretion. LogoLeague will not retain any commission.

3.2.3. Design Projects

The Client may cancel a Design Project and request a refund if the Designer has not delivered any design within the original delivery time or within the new agreed-upon time, in the case of an agreed extension between the Designer and the Client. The Client must request the refund within 60 days after paying LogoLeague the Designer Fee. LogoLeague does not retain any commission.
