Förrlitales Ltd. undertakes to take all necessary measures to prevent corruption, ensuring that no gifts or other benefits are offered or accepted.

Use and Copyright
Förrlitales Ltd. grants the client all rights to the unrestricted worldwide use of the services provided, provided they have been fully compensated. The term "use rights" refers to the scope of intended use as defined by the client when the order was placed.

The copyright (intellectual property) for all works created by Förrlitales Ltd. remains with Förrlitales Ltd.

All copyrights for design proposals (drafts, sketches) and any unchosen variants remain the property of Förrlitales Ltd. and will not be handed over. The provision of open data and templates is not part of any offer unless explicitly stated. Open data and templates may be provided upon request for a fee.

The use of unchosen variants, particularly the design ideas, forms, colors, fonts, and their combinations created for the project, may only be used after the client's agreement and upon payment of a separately agreed fee.

For the creation of new logos (word and/or image marks) and claims, a one-time payment for the use rights is required.

Warranty
Förrlitales Ltd. guarantees, within its advisory and creative activities and to the extent that the order allows, that the services provided are free from third-party rights and that no third-party rights will restrict or impede the contractual transfer of usage rights.
