The Graphic Design Contract is essential for professional design services in Malta, providing a legally sound framework for both designers and clients. It should be used whenever graphic design services are commissioned, whether for one-off projects or ongoing design work. The document incorporates key elements of Maltese contract law and EU regulations, particularly regarding intellectual property rights and digital commerce. It covers crucial aspects such as project scope, payment terms, revision processes, and ownership rights transfer, while ensuring compliance with Malta's Copyright Act and related legislation. This contract is particularly important in protecting both parties' interests, establishing clear deliverables, and preventing potential disputes in professional design relationships.
