Submitting directory listings POSSIBLY CONTAINING copyright infringements.

If you are not sure that you own the rights to the information that you submit to be included in your company listing requested for this directory, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A SUBMISSION! While we do not have any way to tell whether submitted information is copyrighted by others, if and when discovered, please be advised that Pacific Webcard Directory WILL NOT TOLERATE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS!

The editor may, or may not, conduct searches over the internet using words and/or phrases contained in your listing's description.

Copyrights Infringements on Projects Under Development - Including Mockup Submissions

Just as any other business, in order for Pacific Webcard to maintain smooth business operations, payments must be made promptly. It is expected that any final payment is to be received within 7 (seven) business days of the due date.

In cases where payments are not honored for completed, delivered projects, Pacific Webcard will qualify the fact as a potential copyright infringement until either full payment is received, or a written and signed promissory note from the client specifying that the received design/s will not be used under any circumstances.

Client-Submitted Materials

While engaged in a development contract, the client represents, and unconditionally guarantees, to Pacific Webcard that any elements of text (including business names), graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other content that s/he may be providing to Pacific Webcard for inclusion in the designs are owned by the client, or that the client has permission from the rightful owner to use each of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect, and defend Pacific Webcard from any claim or suit arising from the use of such elements furnished by the client.

Mockup Submissions

The world of intellectual property is largely a creative and competitive environment that, more-than-often, operates on bidding processes. In order to keep a balance between fair market prices and the quality of work as well as to earn their clients' support, design establishments use common procedures such as submissions of mockups.

Please be advised that a mockup submission IS NOT to be interpreted as a FREE DESIGN CONSULTATION. If you requested (and later received) a proposal in the form of a design mockup from Pacific Webcard, you should be aware that by rejecting that mockup, and then incorporate elements from that proposed design in "your own concept", you are infringing upon our copyrights and we will then take legal action.

Copyrights on screen captures and corporate logos

When you make a submission to the directory, you have the option to add a screen capture of one of your web pages to your listing. However, before you send us a screen capture, or your company's logo, check with the corporate communications authority of your company and make sure that they agree with it. "By attaching such graphics to your submission, you grant us permission to publish them in this directory and cannot consider the fact a copyright infringement."

The above underlined statement is attached to your submission, interpreted as your understanding of the rules and regulations of this service and file our records as an agreement from your part to follow these rules. Without your consent to this effect, the submission will not go through.

Copyrights on Concepts, Images, Computer Code and Content

All rights to photos, graphics, source code, work-up and original digital files, and computer programs used to create any visual or contextual presentations are, specifically, not transferred to the client and remain at all times the property of Pacific Webcard and other respective owners.

All under-development conceptual work and/or fully developed, imagery or other content proposed to and canceled/rejected by the client, remains the property of Pacific Webcard with no rights of use, whatsoever by the respective client until full payment is received. In cases where no full payment has been received by the client, Pacific Webcard retains the right to rework the concepts for inclusion in other projects and/or offers to other clients.

In case where the client has canceled/rejected a project under development and decided to use the not-paid-for conceptual work, the case will be treated as a copyright infringement.

Pacific Webcard retains the right to display the finished, or partially-finished works and work elements which may be part of any project, as promotional work samples and inclusion in its portfolios and business proposals regardless of the project/s payment status.
