This Terms of Use Agreement (the “Terms”) constitutes a legally binding agreement by and between Digital Department, LLC a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Tennessee (“ Digital Department, LLC”) and the client, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“Client”), with regard to access and use of Digital Department, LLC’s website: getdigitaldept.com and dashboard.getdigitaldept.com (the “Site”) and any other media form, channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked or otherwise connected thereto.

Thereafter the relationship between Client and Digital Department, LLC shall cease and be of no further force and effect between the parties, except that any obligation of Client to pay Digital Department, LLC for services rendered shall remain and continue to be an ongoing obligation owed by Client to Digital Department, LLC.

2. Fees and Refunds

Use of our "Services" requires payment of recurring fees. Before we have any obligation to provide Services, you must pay the fees (as well as applicable taxes) in full, in such amounts and for such billing frequency as specified during registration. You agree that, upon registering for the Services, you authorize us to charge your method of payment (e.g., credit card) for the fees and applicable taxes from your registration date based upon your chosen billing frequency (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually). We reserve the right to terminate your account in the event of non-payment of amounts owed to us. All amounts owed under these Terms are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as specifically provided. You may cancel your subscription with us at any time by logging into your account, or by contacting our team at emily@getdigitaldept.com. If you cancel your subscription before the next renewal cycle, you can continue using your account and accessing your design files until the end of your paid billing term. When your subscription expires, it is your responsibility to have any design files we delivered and you will no longer have access to our Services and the design files associated with those Services. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial months of service, downgrades, or unused time. We reserve the right to deny refunds based on our own self discretion and without notice or liability to the Client. Refund requests are assessed on a case by case basis. Should Client request a refund during the first month of use, all materials produced by Digital Department, LLC are owned by the company and are prohibited from being used by the Client in any way. If a refund is deemed to be appropriate, there will be a 25% fee assigned to the remaining billable period. Digital Department, LLC reserves the right to take appropriate legal actions against Client for breach of this paragraph.

In the event that any operation of law would cause Digital Department, LLC to become the owner of a Project, in whole or in part, rather than Client, Digital Department, LLC irrevocably and perpetually assigns its entire interest in the Project to Client, without limitation. Client warrants that any and all materials provided to Digital Department, LLC 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.

Said notice will include information sufficient for Client to identify which licenses are required and who to contact in order to purchase said licenses.
