Last updated: October 2026


§ 1. Scope
(1) These Terms apply to all contracts between Nicole Jodlbauer – njdesign (“Contractor”) and her clients for graphic design, branding, web design, social media design and related creative services.
(2) They apply to businesses and consumers. Provisions that apply to businesses only are marked as such. Mandatory consumer rights, in particular under the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) and the Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act (FAGG), remain unaffected.
(3) A written individual contract (e.g. a work contract) or an accepted quote takes precedence over these Terms. The client's own terms and conditions do not apply, even if the Contractor does not expressly object to them.
(4) This is a translation. In case of discrepancies, the German version shall prevail.


§ 2. Quotes and Conclusion of Contract
(1) Quotes are non-binding.
(2) A contract is concluded when the client confirms the quote in text form (e.g. email, WhatsApp, Instagram direct message, Discord, SMS or comparable messaging services) or signs an individual contract. If an order is placed orally (in person, by phone or video call), the contract is also concluded; its content is determined by the Contractor's subsequent order confirmation in text form, unless the client objects without delay.


§ 3. Scope of Services
(1) The scope of services is set out in the quote or individual contract. Services not listed are not owed.
(2) The price includes the final designs or services in the agreed formats (e.g. PNG, JPG, GIF, MP4, PDF, SVG or web formats).
(3) Within the briefing, the Contractor has creative freedom. Differences from the client's personal taste do not constitute a defect.
(4) The Contractor may engage suitable subcontractors.


§ 4. Client's Obligations to Cooperate
(1) The client provides all necessary content (e.g. texts, images, logos, access data) in good time and in usable digital form, and gives feedback within 7 calendar days.
(2) Delays caused by missing or late cooperation postpone agreed deadlines accordingly. Additional work caused by incorrect, incomplete or subsequently changed information is charged separately.
(3) The client warrants that they hold all necessary rights to the materials provided and indemnifies the Contractor against third-party claims arising from their use.
(4) If a project comes to a standstill for more than 3 months for reasons attributable to the client (e.g. no response, pause), the Contractor will notify the client of this provision in text form and set a grace period of 14 days. If there is no response within this period, the project is put on hold. Upon later resumption, a restart fee of 15 % of the agreed net order value, at least EUR 100 net, is payable for re-familiarisation and rescheduling. Services already rendered may be invoiced regardless.


§ 5. Revisions and Additional Services
(1) Each service includes the number of revision rounds stated in the individual contract (e.g. work contract) or quote; if none is stated, two. A revision round is complete once the client has given consolidated feedback on a draft.
(2) Further revisions, additional variants and changes after project completion are charged by time spent or by separate quote.


§ 6. Approval and Acceptance
(1) The client reviews drafts and final deliverables within 7 calendar days and either approves them or reports material defects specifically in text form.
(2) Upon delivery, the Contractor points out this deadline and its consequence in text form: if there is no response within the deadline, the deliverable is deemed approved. It is also deemed approved as soon as the client uses or publishes it.


§ 7. Rights of Use and Copyright
(1) Copyright remains with the Contractor. Upon full payment, the client receives an exclusive right of use (Werknutzungsrecht, § 24 Austrian Copyright Act), unlimited in time and territory, to the final approved deliverables for the agreed purpose. The Contractor's right to self-promotion under § 15 remains expressly unaffected.
(2) If the client uses deliverables before full payment, such use is based on a loan that may be revoked at any time.
(3) Unselected drafts, sketches and variants remain with the Contractor, including all rights.
(4) Changes and edits – by the client or by third parties – require the Contractor's prior consent in text form. This applies in particular to design changes (e.g. colours, shapes, fonts, reworking or further developing a logo, new variants) and to edits using AI. Purely technical adjustments that do not change the appearance are permitted without consent, e.g. scaling, cropping, conversion into other file formats or into the colour mode required for printing. Passing on to third parties and use beyond the agreed purpose also require prior consent in text form.
(5) If the design itself becomes part of a product for sale (e.g. merchandise such as clothing, plush toys, printed products or digital goods), this is not included in the standard price and requires a separate agreement – as a one-off licence fee or a revenue share.


§ 8. Source Files and Extended Rights (Buy-out)
(1) Editable source files (e.g. PSD, AI, After Effects, Figma, Procreate) are not part of the deliverables. Handing them over requires a separate written agreement and separate remuneration.
(2) Under Austrian law, copyright itself cannot be transferred (§ 23 Austrian Copyright Act). If the client wishes to obtain rights beyond § 7 – in particular the right to edit and further develop the deliverables themselves or through third parties, or the right to transfer or license them to third parties (comprehensive "buy-out") – a separate written agreement with separate remuneration is required.
(3) Even if source files are handed over, copyright remains with the Contractor; editing rights arise only to the extent of an agreement under para. 2.


§ 9. Third-Party Materials and AI Tools
(1) If the Contractor uses third-party materials (e.g. stock images, fonts, graphic elements), she acquires the necessary rights of use to the required extent. Licence information is available to the client on request.
(2) AI-assisted tools may be used in the design process. If substantial parts of a deliverable are created with generative AI (e.g. AI-generated images, illustrations or texts), the Contractor informs the client. The use of AI features as common editing tools, e.g. for retouching, background removal, scaling, noise reduction, vectorisation or comparable functions of standard design software, is not disclosed separately in advance; the Contractor provides information on request. As a rule, no traditional exclusive rights can exist in AI-generated content.
(3) The provisions of these Terms on liability and legal review also apply to services provided with the support of AI.


§ 10. Legal Review
(1) To the best of her knowledge and with the care customary in the industry, the Contractor ensures that the elements she contributes herself (own designs, fonts, stock material, graphic elements) are properly licensed and do not knowingly infringe third-party rights.
(2) Beyond this, the Contractor does not provide legal advice. She does not review whether designs are permissible or registrable under trademark, competition, copyright or other IP law. Trademark searches and registrations are the client's responsibility. The same applies to the legal permissibility of content provided or approved by the client.


§ 11. Prices and Payment
(1) All prices are net plus statutory VAT unless expressly stated otherwise – even if agreed orally, in person or via email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Discord or SMS. VAT is shown separately on the invoice.
(2) Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date without deduction.
(3) Before the project starts, the Contractor may require a deposit or prepayment of the full fee; work begins only after receipt. This may be waived in individual cases in text form. Final files are handed over, or projects (e.g. websites) launched, only after full payment.
(4) In case of late payment, statutory default interest applies (businesses: § 456 UGB, consumers: § 1000 ABGB). Businesses additionally owe the lump sum of EUR 40 under § 458 UGB. Necessary reminder and collection costs must be reimbursed.
(5) In case of late payment, the Contractor may suspend further work until payment is received.
(6) Businesses only: Set-off against counterclaims is only permitted if they have been acknowledged in writing by the Contractor or established by a court. Payments may not be withheld due to complaints.


§ 12. Cancellation and Early Termination
(1) The client may cancel the order at any time in text form. In this case, the Contractor is entitled under § 1168 ABGB to the agreed fee less what she has saved or earned elsewhere as a result. A deposit paid remains with the Contractor in any case once preparatory work has been done or capacity has been reserved for the project.
(2) Businesses only: If the client terminates a project without this being due to a grossly negligent or intentional breach of duty by the Contractor, the full agreed fee is payable; deduction under § 1168 ABGB is excluded.
(3) Rights of use arise only in fully paid results.
(4) The Contractor may terminate the contract for good cause, in particular in case of lack of cooperation despite a 14-day grace period, late payment despite a 14-day grace period, repeated substantial change requests outside the agreed scope, or inappropriate behaviour. Services rendered until then are invoiced; any deposit is offset.


§ 13. Warranty
(1) Statutory warranty law applies (§§ 922 et seq. ABGB). The Contractor first has the right to remedy defects within a reasonable period.
(2) Businesses only: Defects must be reported in text form within 14 days of delivery, hidden defects within 14 days of becoming apparent. The warranty period is 6 months from delivery; the presumption under § 924 ABGB is excluded.
(3) For consumers, the statutory periods apply in full.


§ 14. Liability
(1) The Contractor is liable for intent and gross negligence and – without limitation – for personal injury. Liability for slight negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
(2) Businesses only: Liability is limited to the net order value. Liability for indirect damage, consequential damage and lost profit is excluded. Claims for damages expire 6 months after knowledge of the damage and the party liable, at the latest 3 years after the damaging event.
(3) There is no liability for content and materials provided by the client, for the commercial success of the services (e.g. reach, revenue) or for technical problems beyond the Contractor's control.
(4) Platforms such as Instagram, Facebook or TikTok may reject or remove content and ads under their own terms of use. The Contractor has no influence on this and does not guarantee that content will be available there at all times.


§ 15. Self-Promotion and Portfolio Use
(1) Even after project completion and despite granting an exclusive right of use, the Contractor may use the work, drafts, process and making-of material as well as the client's name and logo free of charge for self-promotion, in particular:
• in portfolios of any kind: own website, printed or physical portfolios, portfolio PDFs, portfolio platforms (e.g. Behance, Dribbble);
• on social media (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest);
• as a case study (e.g. project description with starting point, process, drafts and result); and
• in applications, presentations, talks, competitions and awards.
(2) While the project is ongoing, the Contractor may already share work-in-progress content (e.g. details, sketches, process images or obscured interim stages) on social media, provided no confidential information of the client is disclosed. § 16 does not preclude this.
(3) If publication is only possible from a certain date (e.g. launch, confidentiality), this is agreed in the quote or individual contract. Revocation is only possible for good cause.


§ 16. Confidentiality and Data Protection
(1) Both parties treat all confidential information received in the course of the collaboration as confidential – also after the project ends – and use it only for the respective project.
(2) Personal data is processed in accordance with the GDPR solely for the performance of the contract. Details: privacy policy on njdesign.at.


§ 17. Notice for Consumers (Right of Withdrawal)
If the contract is concluded with a consumer online, by email, messenger or otherwise off-premises, there is a 14-day right of withdrawal under the FAGG. If the consumer wishes work to begin before this period expires, they must expressly request this; in case of withdrawal, a proportionate amount for the services rendered until then is payable (§ 16 FAGG). The right of withdrawal expires upon full performance of the contract (§ 18 FAGG). The withdrawal information including the model withdrawal form is provided separately before the contract is concluded.


§ 18. Changes to these Terms
The Contractor may change these Terms for future contracts. For contracts already concluded, the version valid at the time of conclusion applies.


§ 19. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
(1) Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Place of performance is the Contractor's registered seat.
(2) Businesses only: Place of jurisdiction is the competent court at the Contractor's registered seat.
(3) For consumers, the mandatory places of jurisdiction under § 14 KSchG apply; mandatory consumer protection provisions of their country of residence remain unaffected.


§ 20. Final Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid. It shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to its economic purpose.
