1. Do I own the rights to the logo?
The contract decides. Make sure that after payment you receive comprehensive usage rights to all final designs, unlimited in time and territory.
2. Will I also get the editable files?
Not automatically. Agree that you receive the editable source files so you stay independent later.
3. What about fonts and images?
Fonts, stock photos and music often require licences. Clarify which licences are included and who pays for them.
4. Does the logo automatically protect me as a trademark?
No. For trademark protection, name and logo must be registered with the relevant trademark office. Have it checked by a trademark attorney.
5. What must appear on letters and emails?
It depends on country and legal form – for example company name, legal form, registered office and registration details. The agency implements them; check them with your accountant or lawyer.
6. Do I need a non-disclosure agreement?
For sensitive information such as unreleased products or financial data, an NDA before the briefing can make sense.
7. May the agency show the project as a reference?
Only with your consent. Clarify in the contract whether and from when the agency may show your project in its portfolio.
8. What if I'm not happy with the result?
Clear goals, revision rounds and approvals in the contract help. Raise concerns early – in the strategy or draft phase a lot can still change.
9. How does StartupBrander handle my data?
We only process your details to find the right agency and only forward them with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.
10. Who is the contract with – StartupBrander or the agency?
The contract is concluded exclusively between you and the agency. StartupBrander only matches and is not a contracting party.
