These Service Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern the relationship between Offset Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Offset”) and its clients (“You”), concerning the provision of services (the “Services”) by Offset for You. These Terms are incorporated and made part of every proposal, statement of work, or other form of order, including any web ordering form (each, a “Order”) executed by You and Offset or submitted by You to Offset.

1. Services. Offset will perform the Services described in the applicable Order in accordance with the terms thereof.

2. Fees & Expenses

  • a. Design and Other Services. You will pay the fees described in the applicable Order in accordance with the terms thereof. You will reimburse Offset for any expense reasonably incurred in connection with Offset’s provision of the Services; provided that any expense is either listed in the applicable Order or otherwise approved by You in writing. 

  • b. Figure Fees. Fees for our Figure® content management system, Commerce platform, and a website framework and templates, as well as our managed-hosting and other software services (collectively, the “Figure Services”) are (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order) billed monthly in advance and are nonrefundable. At the time of subscription to any Figure Services, You will be redirected to a payment screen which securely connects to a third-party provider’s platform, and asked to provide your bank account (ACH) and/or credit card information, which will be stored by the third-party provider, and not us. As of the last update of these Terms, we utilize Stripe and Authorize.net as our payment providers. Your provision of information to and storage of your data with that third-party is subject to its terms. You consent and authorize us to delegate authorizations and share the information You provide with our third-party service providers, to the extent required to provide the Services to You.

3. Relationship of the Parties. Offset is not Your partner, and none of Offset’s employees will be considered your employees. Offset is solely responsible for payment of its employees, and withholding and payment of any taxes with respect to such employees’ wages. You will not make any withholdings from the payments to Offset hereunder. Offset shall determine the means and manner of providing the Services.

4. Term & Termination of Orders

  • a. Generally. The term of each Order shall be specified in the Order, or if not specified, shall continue until the parties have performed the obligations required of them thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, a Order may only be terminated for a party’s material breach as follows: (a) upon written notice if the breach is incapable of being cured; or (b) if the breach is capable of being cured and it is not cured by the breaching party within ten (10) days of the breaching party’s receipt of written notice describing the breach in reasonable detail.

  • b. Figure Services. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, You may cancel any ongoing Figure Services by providing 30-days advanced written notice via email to [email protected]. Please note that, unless You have made specific arrangements in advance of cancellation, any website(s) and related platforms utilizing our Services may cease to function or cease to function properly upon cancellation or termination of the Services. Fees for the Monthly Services may change from time to time. However, we will provide 30-days advance notice to You if You will be affected. If You breach any of your obligations in the terms or the applicable Order and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of your receipt of written notice of the breach, we may terminate your right to use the Figure Services, which may result in your websites and applications being taken offline.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

  • a. Exclusive License to Final Designs. Other than as set forth herein, each party retains all of its intellectual property rights. Offset designs logos, labels and websites for wine industry and other clients. In connection with this work, Offset reuses common elements, takes inspiration from both its past projects and the work of others, and takes into account suggestions and examples provided by its clients (collectively, such common elements, inspiration and suggestions referred to as “Common Elements”). Offset has no interest in restricting your use of the final versions of the designs that it creates for You (the “Final Designs”), but, for the reasons described above, cannot grant You outright ownership of the Final Designs. Once You have paid Offset what it is due under the applicable Order, however, Offset grants to You an exclusive license to use, reproduce, create derivative works from, display, perform, and otherwise take full lawful advantage of the Final Designs; provided that You understand and acknowledge that You may not have the exclusive usage rights of certain Common Elements included within such Final Designs.

  • b. Trademark & Other Registrations. Upon your request, Offset will execute such documents as You deem reasonably necessary to apply for a trademark registration in your name for any Final Designs transferred to You hereunder; provided, You understand that Offset does not conduct trademark clearance or guarantee that any work product, including Final Designs, will not conflict with existing trademarks or registrations. For avoidance of doubt, Offset retains all rights to preliminary works and versions of the designs other than the Final Designs.

  • c. Figure Licensing. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms (including payment obligations), we grant You a license to utilize the Figure Services You have subscribed to pursuant to the applicable Order for the intended business purposes. You may not sublicense these rights, or disassemble or reverse engineer any of our platforms or technology. Any code (whether in source or object form) provided or accessible to You is licensed to You for use in connection with the Figure Services.
