Don’t abuse our services

Our services offer support for the sensible use of an average non-creative based small business. When you sign up, we match your account with one of our designers that will work on your design requests on a daily basis. The scope of the work that can be requested can be found here.

We don’t replace a full-time graphic designer (or agency) by any means. Should we decide that you are not in line with our model, core values or are abusing our services or team in any way, including using our services for illegal or adult/pornographic material, we reserve the right to terminate your account. Your right to use the Deer Designer services shall terminate upon your breach of any term of this Agreement.

Your designer works on your designs in order of submission (unless a different priority is requested). As long as there are tickets in your design queue, your designer will work on them on a daily basis. We work with 1-business day rounds. We aim to deliver the first draft for each request in around 1 business day. It could take longer if it’s a complex request. Although our designers might have a flexible schedule, our admin team and the Project/Account Managers work from 9am to 5pm (GMT). All replies from us will be sent during those hours. Requests or revisions received after 2pm GMT, during the weekend or on a UK bank holiday will start the next business day.

All of our communication happens either via email or via our website. That means you won’t be able to do skype calls with your designer.

Our services are not suited for urgent requests and we’re not supposed to replace a full-time designer. If that’s your need, feel free to find an alternative.

Output files

While we do our best to minimise any mistakes, due to the nature of creative design we cannot guarantee all files delivered will be 100% error free. Upon file delivery, you agree to review and proof all files for any errors or omissions and notify our team if any changes/corrections are needed. We will do our best to rush any edits to correct the mistakes. Deer Designer is not responsible or liable for any losses or expenses incurred from errors or omissions.

Sample work

By default, you agree to provide Deer Designer with a non-exclusive right and license to publish your work in our portfolio, social media or other communication efforts. We will do our best to seek written permission before we post anything publicly. If you would like to revoke this right, please notify our team in writing to [email protected]

Confidentiality

We uphold confidentiality in all communication regarding your brand and business. We will only communicate to those who have been authorised on your account and will not share any information provided with anyone outside our organisation, subject to our Privacy Policy.

Work and delivery output

While we can accept daily requests and revisions, our output volume depends on many factors, namely depending on the total request volume and complexity. We will do our best to work with you to accommodate any priority items and your timelines but our suggestion is to not use our service for time sensitive requests. As long as you have a design request in your design queue, your designer will work on it daily and give you daily updates.

Optional tools

We may provide you with access to third-party tools over which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input. You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available” without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement.

All our communication (including design requests, inquiries, help or other) is made via either email or a form on the website (deerdesigner.com). Our system was designed to work with everything logged in order to mitigate any problems and misunderstanding with the requests, so nothing gets lost in translation.
