Do you own your website? It's a simple question, with a multi-layered answer. In summary:
Once you have paid for all work and services performed by us, you will have ownership of the entirety of the "finished assembled work". Finished assembled work (FAW) is defined as:
- visual design created by Echo3
- text content (where authored or commissioned by you)
- all website data (where appropriately obtained by you)
- the HTML/CSS/Javascript programming developed for your website
As with all websites, the following IP elements are owned by their respective creators and are licensed to you for your own use:
- images and photography
- Content Management System and source code
- Database Software (e.g. MySQL)
If required, the entirety of the finished assembled work can be saved and stored by you, and can be rebuilt with any suitable website platform. Regardless of platform or hosting arrangements, you should be aware that you are continually obligated to ensure that all rights of IP creators (outside of the FAW) are protected, and that no infringement occurs.
