Artwork & Fundraiser Agreement

CUSTOM DESIGN & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY

All original artwork, illustrations, packaging layouts, creative elements, and written content developed by Mudd Grinds Coffee Company remain the intellectual property of the company, to the extent legally protectable and owned by the company. Organizations retain ownership of their supplied logos, photographs, and branding materials.

By submitting logos, photographs, or other materials, you confirm that you own them or have permission to authorize their use. You grant Mudd Grinds Coffee Company permission to use those materials to create and promote your organization’s fundraiser and produce its custom products.

Organizations may use approved designs and promotional images to advertise their Mudd Grinds fundraiser, including through social media, email, websites, and printed promotional materials.

Participation in a fundraiser or purchase of custom products does not transfer ownership of Mudd Grinds Coffee Company’s original artwork or grant unrestricted reproduction or commercial reuse rights. Reproducing those designs on other merchandise, using them with another supplier, or using them for purposes outside the Mudd Grinds fundraiser requires prior written permission from Mudd Grinds Coffee Company. This restriction does not limit an organization’s independent use of its own supplied logos, photographs, or branding materials.

Custom label designs will be provided for review and approval before production. Please review all names, wording, images, and other details carefully before approving your design.

By selecting the acknowledgment checkbox on the fundraiser setup form, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Custom Design & Intellectual Property Policy.
