ADC
TERMS OF BUSINESS
1) The names "Art & Design Company" and "ADC" are
used synonymously and factually refer to the same entity. The following
text will use the name "ADC" only.
2) "Doing business" with ADC refers to every action made with the intent
to purchase services and/or products from ADC. Every person engaging
in such an action will furtheron be refered to as "client". Attempts
of becoming a client of ADC (according to the definition given above)
by any person prohibited from doing business due to legal restrictions
are being treated as invalid.
3) ADC is not responsible or in any way liable for harm done, in any
shape or form, by accepting a person legally prohibited from becoming
a client as a client if this person has provided ADC with false and
misleading information. ADC assumes every attempt to do business as
legit, unless the contrary is evident.
4) ADC is not obliged to accept proposals to do business by any person
or other entity under whatever possible circumstances. ADC will accept
or decline to accept a person or other entity as a client on sole discretion.
ADC is not required to give any reason or explanation about a decision
to decline accepting a person as a client. No person can insist on being
accepted as a client by ADC or try to enforce being accepted as a client
by whatever means.
5) ADC does not in any way support, condone, or associate itself with
any possible entity, (whether it's (an) individual(s), group, company,
organization, etc...) that engages in, supports, condones, or associates
with illegal activities and/or - whether illegal or not under the jurisdiction
this entity falls under - violations of human and/or animal rights,
any shape or form of unethical behavior, fascist and/or racist ideologies.
6) ADC does not accept as a client or in any way associate itself with
any political party, organization and similar entities. Should ADC choose
on its sole discretion to support or in any way associate itself with
a cause that is or is being perceived as of political nature in whatever
interpretation, then this does not in any way and under any circumstances
result in ADC being required to support or in any way associate itself
with any entity pursuing a cause that is either being similar or contradictory
to the aforementioned cause.
7) ADC is not obliged to and will not disclose any personal information
about clients and will not pass on their adresses (e-mail and other)
or phone and/or fax numbers and other means of contact to any person
or other entity intending to use this information for commercial purposes
(i.e. telemarketers, lettershops, spamsters, etc...)
8) ADC is not obliged to but may use (parts of) work done for clients
- which is non-confidential and public in nature (such as published
print ads or non-published drafts thereof, other promotional material,
website designs, Art, etc...) as work examples, to advertise ADC' own
services, using a variety of means such as: public exhibitions, private
exhibition to (an)other client(s), websites, internet forums, all kinds
of print media, taped or filmed material of all kinds, unless the client
specifies that all or parts of the work done for her/him and her/his
company, organization, project, etc...will not be used by ADC for purposes
of self-promotion, in which case ADC will refrain from using the material
in question in aforementioned ways.
9) ADC is not obliged to disclose the identity of any person working
for or in any way, direct or indirect, contributing to the work and
business done under the name ADC, whether it's cooperating companies,
freelancers, employees or other entities involved (in whatever way)
in the operations of ADC.
10) ADC is not in any way liable for any failure to do business as negotiated
with the client if this failure is due to whatever circumstances that
cannot be in any way influenced and/or amended by ADC, such as delivery
after the expected date or loss of products ordered and sent via mail,
the delivery of damaged or false products (= products sent are not the
ones ordered) if the delivery was impaired by forces of nature or the
delivery and/or production falls under the sole responsibility of a
company cooperating with ADC.
ADC is not in any way liable for failure to provide certain services
purchased by the client at a fixed date if this failure is due to forces
of nature and other events that cannot be foreseen, prevented or resolved
within a fixed period of time by ADC, which includes e.g. fire, storm
or earthquakes destroying data and other materialas well as technical
failure of computers and other devices required to accomplish the task
in the way negotiated with the client.
11) ADC may on its sole discretion close or add new companies at any
given time, change pricing, change the corporate design (logo, color
compositions, etc...), change the appearance and/or structure of the
company's official website art-design-company.com, change manners of
corresponding or doing business and change these terms of business.
In cases of pricing being changed every client will pay what is negotiated
and fixed in a contract at the time the contract was made and thereby
a service and/or product being purchased; general changes of pricing
will never affect contracts that have already been made previous to
the changing of the pricing for the specific products and/or services.
In some cases ADC will and may insist on written contracts being made
before ADC starts to work on a project; these contracs will then be
required to be made in person or sent via mail to be signed.
In some cases ADC will and may insist on a product (e.g. original Art)
to be paid for either fully or partly before this product is being shipped
to the person or other entity who wishes to purchase the product; specifics
will be negotiated.
12) These terms of business are valid under all possible circumstances
and for every possible entity which becomes a client of ADC. What jurisdiction
or level of accountability does apply to a client (regarding what country
that person or other entity resides in, permanently or temporary, or
regarding whatever licences this person or entity does possess) does
not in any way and under any circumstances invalidate the absolute applicability
and general validity of these terms of business.
