Terms of Service
Last Updated: April 2025
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ABATE INNOVATIVE DESIGNS LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or lost data, arising from or related to our services. 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.
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.
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. Any disputes arising from these Terms or our services shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Manatee County, Florida, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorney fees unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. Material changes will be communicated to active clients via email.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
