Last updated: 3/1/2024
THIS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement by and between WEBAES LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Colorado (“Webaes”) and the client, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“Client”), with regard to access and use of Webaes’s website: https://www.webaes.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 the Client is ordered to discontinue use immediately. Thereafter, the relationship between Client and Webaes shall cease and be of no further force and effect between the parties, except that any obligation of Client to pay Webaes for services rendered shall remain and continue to be an ongoing obligation owed by Client to Webaes.

Client warrants that any and all materials provided to Webaes 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. Webaes always reserves the right to share the Client's design work publicly (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 Webaes and require a commercial license in order for Client to legally reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the Project (“Third-Party Font(s)”), Webaes will inform 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.
