1. Introduction

This Intellectual Property Policy explains how Genesis Web Sols (“we,” “us,” or “our”) treats intellectual property rights in our Website, our Services, and the work we create for clients. It applies to visitors to [insert website URL] (the “Website”) and to clients who engage us for IT and software services. If a signed agreement or statement of work (SOW) conflicts with this policy, the signed agreement controls.

2. Our Intellectual Property

All content on the Website and all materials we create independently are owned by Genesis Web Sols or its licensors and protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. This includes:

• The Genesis Web Sols name, logo, and branding
• Website text, graphics, design, layout, and code
• Proprietary software, tools, frameworks, libraries, templates, and methodologies
• Documentation, training materials, and marketing content

You may view and share Website content for personal, non-commercial purposes, provided you keep all copyright and ownership notices intact. Any other use, including copying, modifying, distributing, reselling, or creating derivative works, requires our prior written permission.

3. Trademarks

“Genesis Web Sols,” our logo, and related names and slogans are our trademarks or service marks. You may not use them without our prior written consent, and never in a way that suggests endorsement or causes confusion. Other trademarks on the Website belong to their respective owners.

4. Client Work and Deliverables

Unless your agreement states otherwise:

• Client-owned deliverables: Upon full payment of all amounts due, ownership of the custom deliverables we create specifically for the Client (such as custom code, designs, and content) transfers to the Client.
• Client materials: The Client retains ownership of all materials it provides to us, including logos, text, images, data, and brand assets (“Client Materials”). The Client grants us a limited license to use Client Materials solely to perform the Services.
• Our pre-existing and reusable materials: We retain ownership of all tools, code libraries, frameworks, templates, and know-how that we developed before or independently of the engagement, or that are generally applicable to our work (“Background IP”). Where Background IP is incorporated into a deliverable, we grant the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual, non-transferable license to use it as part of that deliverable.
• Until payment: Ownership and license rights to deliverables do not transfer until payment is received in full.

5. Third-Party and Open-Source Materials

Our work may include third-party software, plugins, fonts, images, or open-source components. These remain subject to their own licenses, which the Client agrees to follow. We will make reasonable efforts to tell the Client about significant third-party licenses that affect the deliverables. We do not transfer ownership of third-party materials.

6. Client Responsibilities

By providing Client Materials, the Client confirms that:

• It owns them or has the right to use and share them for the project.
• They do not infringe any third party’s copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other rights.

The Client is responsible for claims arising from Client Materials, to the extent allowed by law and the agreement.

7. Portfolio and Promotional Use

Unless the Client tells us otherwise in writing, we may show non-confidential completed work, such as screenshots and project descriptions, in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing. We will not disclose confidential information or credentials.

8. Confidentiality

We treat Client confidential information, including business data, unpublished source code, and credentials, as confidential and use it only to deliver the Services. Confidentiality obligations are set out in more detail in our agreements or any separate non-disclosure agreement.

9. Reporting Infringement

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same from our users. If you believe content on our Website infringes your copyright or other rights, please send a written notice to the contact below including:

1. Your name, address, phone number, and email

5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner
6. Your physical or electronic signature

We will review notices promptly and may remove or disable access to material where appropriate.

10. Prohibited Uses

• Copy, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from our proprietary software
