You should keep these source files somewhere safe as we’re not required to keep a copy. • In creating your website we will make use of our pre-existing custom code libraries. These libraries will remain our Intellectual Property but we’ll license them to you, exclusively and in perpetuity for this project only. • Any custom code that is commissioned specifically for your website will become your Intellectual Property. We love to show off our work and share what we’ve learned with other people, so we reserve the right, with your permission, to display and link to your project as part of our portfolio and to write about it on websites, in magazine articles and in books.
