Visionation, LLC · 7512 Dr Phillips Blvd, Suite 50-937, Orlando, FL 32819
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
1. Purpose and Scope
This Intellectual Property & Copyright Ownership Policy (the "Policy") sets forth the ownership, rights, and protections claimed by Visionation, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") in and to all works, materials, designs, code, and other property created, displayed, hosted, or developed by the Company. This Policy applies to all of the Company's websites, web applications, demonstration sites, mockups, prototypes, wireframes, staging environments, development environments, subdomains, repositories, and any other digital or physical work product (collectively, the "Company Works").
2. Ownership of Company Works
Except as expressly set forth in a signed written agreement, the Company is and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to every Company Work, including all worldwide intellectual property rights therein. This includes, without limitation:
- All copyrights and copyrightable subject matter, whether registered or unregistered;
- All source code, object code, scripts, markup, stylesheets, and software architecture;
- All visual designs, layouts, look-and-feel, color schemes, typography selections, and graphical user interfaces;
- All demonstration ('demo') sites, mockups, prototypes, comps, wireframes, and proof-of-concept builds, whether or not delivered, published, or completed;
- All subdomains, staging URLs, development URLs, and the content hosted thereon;
- All trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and trade dress;
- All trade secrets, know-how, methods, processes, and confidential business information;
- All databases, data compilations, and the selection and arrangement thereof; and
- All derivative works, modifications, enhancements, and improvements of any of the foregoing.
Every Company Work is an original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression and is protected under the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) and applicable international copyright treaties from the moment of its creation, regardless of whether a copyright notice appears on it and regardless of whether it has been registered.
3. Demo Sites, Mockups, and Pre-Delivery Work — Reservation of Rights
The Company expressly reserves all rights in demonstration sites, mockups, prototypes, design comps, wireframes, and any other preliminary, conceptual, or pre-delivery work product. Such materials are provided, displayed, or shared for evaluation, demonstration, or pitching purposes only. No transfer, assignment, or license of any kind is granted, expressly or by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, by the act of displaying, sharing, demonstrating, or providing access to such materials.
No person or entity acquires any ownership interest, license, or right to copy, reproduce, adapt, reuse, host, deploy, distribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from any demo site, mockup, prototype, or other pre-delivery Company Work by virtue of viewing it, being shown it, receiving a proposal containing it, or accessing any subdomain or URL on which it resides. Any such use without the Company's prior express written authorization constitutes copyright infringement and misappropriation.
4. Client Work and Transfer of Ownership
For commissioned client engagements, ownership of final, accepted deliverables transfers to the client only upon the Company's receipt of payment in full of all amounts due under the applicable agreement, and only to the extent expressly stated in that agreement. Until payment in full is received:
- All deliverables, work-in-progress, and pre-delivery materials remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company;
- Any use of such materials by the client or any third party prior to payment in full is unauthorized and constitutes infringement; and
- The Company grants no license, interim or otherwise, to use unpaid-for work.
Notwithstanding any transfer of final deliverables, the Company retains all right, title, and interest in and to: (a) all demo sites, mockups, prototypes, comps, and pre-delivery iterations; (b) all pre-existing tools, libraries, frameworks, components, templates, and know-how used to create the deliverable; and (c) all general skills, techniques, and methodologies. The Company retains a perpetual, non-exclusive right to display completed work in its portfolio and promotional materials unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5. Work Made for Hire; Assignment by Personnel
All Company Works created by the Company's employees within the scope of their employment are 'works made for hire' under 17 U.S.C. § 101 and are owned by the Company. To the extent any Company Work created by any employee, contractor, freelancer, or agent does not qualify as a work made for hire, each such person, by performing work for the Company, irrevocably assigns to the Company all right, title, and interest in and to such work, including all intellectual property rights, and agrees to execute any documents reasonably necessary to perfect such assignment.
6. Copyright Notice
The following notice applies to all Company Works and may be displayed on Company websites, demo sites, subdomains, source files, and other materials:
© 2026 Visionation, LLC. All rights reserved. All content, code, designs, layouts, mockups, and demonstration materials on this site and its subdomains are the exclusive property of Visionation, LLC and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. No portion may be copied, reproduced, reused, deployed, or distributed without the prior express written permission of Visionation, LLC.
7. Prohibited Conduct
Without the Company's prior express written authorization, no person or entity may:
- Copy, clone, scrape, download, mirror, or reproduce any Company Work or any portion thereof;
- Deploy, host, publish, or make available any Company Work, including any demo or mockup site, under their own name, domain, or account;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or structure of any Company Work;
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notice;
- Create derivative works based on any Company Work; or
- Use any Company Work to develop a competing or substantially similar product or site.
8. Enforcement, Remedies, and Registration
The Company will vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of any Company Work may result in civil liability and, where applicable, criminal penalties. Available remedies may include injunctive relief, actual damages and the infringer's profits, statutory damages, and recovery of costs and reasonable attorneys' fees where permitted by law.
Copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office preserves eligibility for statutory damages (up to $150,000 per work for willful infringement) and attorneys' fees in federal court. The Company maintains a routine practice of registering material works and retaining dated records, version history, and authorship evidence for each Company Work.
9. Reporting Infringement
Suspected infringement of Company Works may be reported to: info@visionationllc.com, Visionation, LLC, 7512 Dr Phillips Blvd, Suite 50-937, Orlando, FL 32819. See also our DMCA & Takedown Policy.
10. Governing Law
This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute arising under this Policy shall lie in the state and federal courts located in Orange County, Florida, except that the Company may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
11. Reservation of Rights
All rights not expressly granted in a signed written agreement are reserved by the Company. No waiver of any provision of this Policy shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.
