Last Updated: April 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the services provided by ABATE INNOVATIVE DESIGNS LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ABATE INNOVATIVE DESIGNS LLC.

2. Services Description

ABATE INNOVATIVE DESIGNS LLC provides product design and prototyping services, including but not limited to:

  • CAD modeling and technical drawings
  • Rapid prototyping and 3D printing
  • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) consulting
  • Small-batch fabrication and production support
  • Product development consultation

Specific services, deliverables, timelines, and pricing will be outlined in individual project agreements or quotes.

3. Project Agreements and Quotes

All projects begin with a consultation and written quote. Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. Once you accept a quote, we will provide a detailed project agreement outlining scope, deliverables, timeline, payment terms, and any special conditions. Work will commence only after both parties have signed the project agreement and initial payment has been received.

4. Payment Terms

Payment Schedule

Unless otherwise specified in the project agreement, payment terms are as follows:

  • 50% deposit required before work begins
  • 25% due at mid-project milestone
  • 25% due upon project completion and delivery

Payment Methods

We accept payment via bank transfer, credit card, or other methods as agreed upon. All payments are due within 15 days of invoice date unless otherwise specified.

Late Payments

Late payments may incur a fee of 1.5% per month (18% annually) or the maximum rate permitted by law. We reserve the right to suspend work on projects with overdue payments.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Client-Owned IP

Upon full payment, you will own the intellectual property rights to the final deliverables created specifically for your project, subject to the terms of the project agreement.

Company-Owned IP

We retain ownership of our proprietary methods, processes, tools, templates, and general knowledge developed prior to or independently of your project. We also reserve the right to use general skills and knowledge gained during your project for other clients.

Portfolio Rights

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we reserve the right to display completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials. If confidentiality is required, this must be specified in the project agreement.

6. Confidentiality

We respect the confidential nature of your projects and will not disclose proprietary information to third parties without your consent. If your project requires additional confidentiality protections, we can execute a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). You agree to keep confidential any proprietary information, methods, or processes we share with you during the project.

7. Revisions and Changes

Each project includes a specified number of revision rounds as outlined in the project agreement. Additional revisions or changes to the project scope may incur additional fees. We will provide a written estimate for any scope changes before proceeding with additional work. Major scope changes may require a new project agreement.

8. Project Timeline and Delays

We will make reasonable efforts to meet agreed-upon deadlines. However, timelines are estimates and may be affected by factors including client feedback delays, scope changes, material availability, or unforeseen circumstances. We are not liable for delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If you require guaranteed delivery dates, expedited service fees may apply.

9. Cancellation and Refunds

Client Cancellation

You may cancel a project at any time by providing written notice. Upon cancellation, you will be charged for all work completed to date, plus any non-refundable expenses incurred. The initial deposit is non-refundable. Any remaining balance will be refunded within 30 days.

Company Cancellation

We reserve the right to cancel a project if payment terms are not met, if you fail to provide necessary information or feedback, or if continuing the project would violate our policies or legal obligations. In such cases, you will be charged for work completed to date.

10. Warranties and Disclaimers

We warrant that our services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. However:

  • We do not guarantee that prototypes or designs will meet all manufacturing, regulatory, or performance requirements without further testing and refinement
  • We are not responsible for the commercial success or market viability of your product
  • We do not provide legal, patent, or regulatory compliance advice unless explicitly stated in the project agreement
  • All services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind beyond those explicitly stated in the project agreement
11. Limitation of Liability

Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ABATE INNOVATIVE DESIGNS LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from: (a) your use of our deliverables, (b) your breach of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third-party rights, or (d) any misrepresentation made by you.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Each party shall bear its own costs and attorney fees unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator.

14. Modifications to Terms
