Said notice will include information sufficient for Client to identify which licenses are required and who to contact in order to purchase said licenses.

19.1 You may use the Services for any number of projects and scope that you have that you have subscribed for under the applicable plan and as are appropriate based on the size of your account. While we accept unlimited requests and revisions, our output volume depends on many factors, namely 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 we suggest you do not use our Services for time-sensitive projects.
19.2 You are the owner and/or controller of all of your information, data, or materials that you provide to us to use the Services (“Customer Content”).

To the extent that any deliverables do not constitute a “work made for hire,” we irrevocably assign you all right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to the deliverables, including all intellectual property rights therein.

20. Fees
20.1 Use of our Services requires payment of recurring fees.

All amounts owed under this Agreement are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as specifically provided in this Section 6.
20.2 We reserve the right to change our fees upon 5 days’ advance notice. By continuing to use the Services, you accept such changes. We are not required to notify you of temporary promotions or reductions in fees.
20.3 You may cancel your subscription with us at any time directly in our application, or by contacting our support team. If you cancel your subscription before the next renewal cycle, you can continue using your account and accessing your design files until the end of your paid billing term.
