Terms of Service

Welcome to Patent Artist. These Terms of Service outline the rules and conditions for using our patent illustration and drawing services. By requesting or using our services, you agree to comply with these terms.

1. Scope of Services

Patent Artist offers specialized illustration services for intellectual property needs. Our offerings include, but are not limited to, utility patent drawings, design patent figures, drafting support, and trademark illustrations. All work is prepared in alignment with applicable patent office guidelines and recognized industry practices.

We reserve the right to decline or discontinue any project that falls outside our expertise or does not meet our quality expectations.

2. Client Obligations

Clients must provide accurate and complete materials required to execute the project. This may include sketches, written descriptions, images, specifications, or any other relevant documents.

Timely review of draft submissions is essential. Clients are expected to provide feedback within the agreed timeframe. Delays in communication may impact delivery schedules.

It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that their invention or design does not violate any existing intellectual property rights.

3. Confidentiality

We recognize the importance of protecting intellectual property. All client data, project files, and related information are handled with strict confidentiality and will not be shared with third parties without prior written consent.

If required, we are open to signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before commencing any work.

4. Payment Conditions

Pricing and payment terms are defined in the project quotation and must be accepted prior to starting work. Typically, a partial upfront payment is required, with the remaining balance due upon completion.

Final deliverables, including source files, will be provided only after full payment is received. Late payments may result in additional charges.

All fees are quoted in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. Urgent or expedited requests may involve extra costs.

5. Revisions Policy

Each project includes a limited number of revisions as specified in the agreement. Revision requests must be submitted within the agreed timeline and should remain within the original project scope.

Requests involving major changes or additional revisions beyond the agreed limit may incur extra fees.

6. Intellectual Property

Upon full payment, clients are granted full usage rights to the final drawings for patent-related purposes. Ownership of the underlying invention or concept remains with the client.

We may showcase completed work in our portfolio unless a prior written agreement states otherwise. Any confidential or sensitive details will not be disclosed.

7. Warranties and Disclaimers

• We strive to produce drawings that comply with patent office standards to the best of our ability. However, we cannot guarantee approval of any patent application, as this depends on factors beyond our control.

• We do not provide legal or patent advisory services. Clients are encouraged to consult qualified patent professionals for legal guidance.

• We are not liable for errors resulting from incomplete or incorrect information provided by the client.

8. Limitation of Liability

Any liability arising from our services is limited to the amount paid for the specific project. We are not responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

If an error occurs in our work, our responsibility is limited to correcting the issue or, at our discretion, issuing a refund.

9. Project Termination

Either party may end a project by providing written notice. If the client terminates the project after work has begun, payment will be required for the portion of work already completed.

We reserve the right to terminate a project if the client fails to cooperate, provide necessary materials, or breaches these terms.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from these terms or our services will be resolved through arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (as amended). The arbitration will take place in Allahabad, India, and proceedings will be conducted in English.

11. Updates to Terms

We may revise these Terms of Service at any time. Updated versions will be posted on this page along with the effective date. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
