Topic: Client requesting Lumion file

[harperdesignarc]

A client has requested I hand over the lumion file plus the model assets I have added.

This sounds unreasonable.

But I understand they have the Lumion product and I am guessing what to take the valueable time I have spent for free gains.

Has anyone else had this sort of request. Any comments regarding this situation.

I believe all the assets should be my ownership as they are non specific to the project. But the clip produced is the owned by the client.

Hi harperdesignarc

In some cases, the "contract" is clear in that the undertaking is to provide images and/or video.  In other cases (probably most) it's not clear, and depends on the 'understanding' between client and yourself, and any terms of service, written or verbal.

You should probably seek legal advice, if not for current situation, then for future protection/business procedure.

Harper, have you already been paid for the project?

[harperdesignarc]

I have sent an invoice. But had mentioned to them that the assets from lumion would remain with the author ( myself ).
It should be okay now. This was a fast moving project. a few days turnaround so no formal contract was issued. Further projects will have small print.
