Welcome to Productive Visionaries (“Productive Visionaries”, “we”, “us”, or “our”)
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our services, including:
Bespoke visual systems (custom Photoshop templates, plugins, and related tools)
Subscription-based visual systems and associated tools
Trials, Beta programmes, and maintenance / update plans
Any related training, consulting, documentation, or support
(collectively, the “Services”).
By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.
1. Who We Work With
Our Services are designed primarily for founders, product brands, and small teams who want structured, controllable visual systems rather than ad-hoc one-off designs.
You represent and warrant that:
You are at least 18 years old, and
You are acting for a business or professional purpose, and
If you are acting on behalf of a company or organisation, you are authorised to bind that entity.
2. Overview of Our Services
We provide a mix of bespoke and subscription-based solutions, often combining:
Custom Photoshop mockup templates
Photoshop control-panel plugins and tools
AI-assisted workflows and automation
Visual systems designed to be reusable, scalable, and consistent
We also offer:
Trials (free or low-cost limited evaluations)
Beta programmes (early access to new systems or features)
Optional maintenance / update plans for ongoing compatibility and improvements
Because this is a relatively new way of using Generative AI alongside long-standing tools like Photoshop, as well as, customized intellectual property code-based tools that collectively create a system, these Terms are written to balance:
Your need for clarity, stability and fairness
Our need to protect our intellectual property, systems and business model
3. Types of Engagement
3.1 Bespoke Systems
“Bespoke Systems” are solutions built specifically around your brand and product needs. They typically include:
Custom Photoshop templates and project structures
Custom control-panel plugins or tools
Configuration files, custom/semi-custom logic, and workflow structure tailored to your assets
Training, documentation, and onboarding
Important distinctions for Bespoke Systems:
You own the deliverables you receive (the compiled plugin builds, PSD/PSB templates, configuration files (embedded), exported images, and other project files we explicitly deliver to you).
You receive a perpetual, irrevocable, internal-use licence to use those deliverables for your own business, as long as you comply with these Terms.
You do not receive ownership of:
Our underlying source code
Our internal frameworks or libraries
Our proprietary methods and IP
You may not resell, redistribute, publish, or offer our templates, plugins, tools or project structures as products or services to third parties, nor allow third parties to use them as if they were licensed directly without our written consent.
3.2 Subscription-Based Systems
“Subscription-Based Systems” are generalised visual systems we license to multiple clients on a subscription basis. For example, recurring access to a library of templates, plugins, presets, and workflows.
For Subscription-Based Systems:
You are licensed to use the system only during your active subscription period.
You do not own the system, templates, plugin, tools, or configuration files (embedded or separate).
We may continue selling or licensing the same or similar system to other customers.
When your subscription ends or is terminated:
Your licence to use Subscription-Based Systems ends, and
You must stop using those systems and any tools that are clearly identified as subscription-only.
3.3 Maintenance and Update Plans (Optional)
For some Bespoke Systems, we may offer an optional maintenance / update plan. This plan is designed to:
Keep your plugin and templates aligned with supported versions of Photoshop
Provide bug fixes, technical refinements and occasional feature improvements
If you subscribe to such a plan:
While you are subscribed, you will receive updates and improvements for the covered system.
If you later cancel, you keep the last updated version you received while subscribed, but you will not receive further updates.
If you do not subscribe:
You still retain perpetual internal-use rights to the delivered version of your Bespoke System.
You simply will not receive future compatibility adjustments or new features from us.
3.4 Trials
We may offer trials (free or paid) so you can evaluate a system or approach before committing.
Trials are time-limited and often feature-limited.
Trial access may end automatically at the end of the trial period unless you convert to a paid plan.
Any trial fees (if applicable) are generally non-refundable, as they relate to access already provided.
We encourage you to export or save any trial outputs you wish to keep before your trial ends.
3.5 Beta Programmes
From time to time, we may invite selected users to join Beta programmes:
Beta features and systems are pre-release, may be unstable, and are provided “as is”.
Beta access may be offered at reduced rates or special pricing.
We may ask you for feedback, and you agree that we can use your feedback to improve the product.
You agree to keep details of unreleased features confidential until we publicly announce them, unless we explicitly say otherwise.
We may change, suspend or discontinue any Beta feature at any time.
3.6 Paid Discovery and Prototypes
For engagements structured with a preliminary "Paid Discovery," "Pilot," or "Proof of Concept" phase:
Limited Licence: Any deliverables provided during this phase (including prototypes, demo plugins, or architectural blueprints) are licensed to you solely for evaluation and testing purposes. You may not use them for commercial production or public release unless and until the full Production Agreement is signed and applicable fees are paid, or if otherwise specified in writing by Productive Visionaries.
Credit: If agreed in the specific Statement of Work, fees paid for the Discovery phase may be credited toward the final project balance, provided the full project commences within the timeframe specified (typically 30 days).
No Obligation: Neither party is obligated to proceed to the full development phase upon completion of the Discovery phase.
4. Fees, Payment and Renewal
4.1 Bespoke Project Fees
For Bespoke Systems, we will typically issue:
A proposal or statement of work outlining scope, pricing and payment schedule, and
Invoices according to the agreed schedule.
You agree to:
Pay deposits or upfront amounts before work begins, where required
Pay remaining balances upon delivery milestones as specified
Pay all fees in the currency and timeline indicated on your invoice
Because Bespoke Systems involve significant time, expertise and custom development, deposits and paid phases are generally non-refundable, except as described in our Refund Policy↗ (published separately) or in your specific project agreement.
4.2 Subscription Fees
For Subscription-Based Systems and maintenance plans:
Fees are typically recurring (monthly, quarterly or annually).
Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate.
You can cancel future renewal by following the cancellation instructions before your next billing date.
If payment fails, or if invoices remain unpaid:
We may suspend or terminate your access to Subscription-Based Systems and/or maintenance services until payment is resolved.
4.3 Taxes and Charges
Unless explicitly stated, all fees are quoted exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or bank/processing charges that arise from your payments.
5. Intellectual Property and Licensing
5.1 Our IP
All rights, title and interest in and to:
Our source code, frameworks and internal libraries
Template systems, logic structures, and workflow methodologies
Documentation, training materials, branding and designs
Any improvements, modifications or derivative works we create are and remain the exclusive property of Productive Visionaries and/or our licensors.
5.2 Your Assets
You retain ownership of:
Your product photos, labels, logos and brand assets
Your copy, design direction and specifications
The images and visual assets you generate using the systems we deliver, subject to any third-party content licences you use (e.g. stock images, AI models, etc.)
5.3 Licence for Bespoke Systems
For fully paid Bespoke Systems, we grant you a perpetual, irrevocable, non-transferable, internal-use licence to:
Use the delivered templates, plugins, configuration files (embedded/ separate), and tools within your own organisation, for your own products and marketing.
Generate and use output images and visuals created with these tools.
This licence:
Does not transfer ownership of our IP, source code, or underlying frameworks.
Does not permit resale, redistribution, sublicensing, or offering the tools themselves as a service or product to third parties.
Does not allow reverse-engineering, decompiling, or attempting to extract source code from compiled plugins or tools.
If you materially breach IP-related obligations (such as redistributing our systems or reverse-engineering them), we may terminate your licence. In that case, you must stop using the tools and systems, but you remain responsible for any outstanding payments.
5.4 License for Subscription-Based Systems
For Subscription-Based Systems, during your active subscription, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to:
Access and use the relevant systems, templates, plugins, and tools.
Generate and use visual outputs for your own business.
This licence:
Exists only while your subscription is active and paid.
Ends when your subscription expires, is cancelled, or is terminated.
Does not grant you any ownership of the systems or a right to continue using them after termination.
5.5 Optional Lifetime Independent Use for Subscription Systems
In some rare cases, and only for systems that are normally offered as Subscription-Based Systems, we may agree on a case-by-case basis to offer a lifetime independent-use package.
This is a separate, high-value one-time licence for a particular version of a subscription system, allowing long-term internal use outside the regular subscription model.
Any such package will be priced to reflect:
The full development and configuration cost of that system variant
The long-term opportunity cost of licensing that system on a non-recurring basis
The additional risk of distributing the tools as standalone files
Even in this case:
You do not receive the source code.
You do not receive any IP ownership.
You are still prohibited from reselling, redistributing, or reverse-engineering the tools.
This option does not change the default licensing model for Bespoke Systems, which already grants you perpetual internal-use rights to your delivered system once paid in full.
6. Third-Party AI Services and Credits
Some features within our systems (for example, background generation, re-texturing, or other AI-assisted enhancements) may rely on third-party AI providers accessed via API.
6.1 Third-Party Provider Models
These providers have their own pricing, availability, and terms of use, which are outside our control.
In some cases, you may need your own account or credits with those providers to continue using AI-powered features on an ongoing basis.
When you use third-party AI features, necessary inputs (such as text prompts, reference shapes, or images) may be transmitted to these providers in order to generate results.
6.2 Integrated Credit-Based AI Features
For certain systems, we may offer integrated AI generation features directly within the plugin as an optional, pay-as-you-go service:
These features are separate from your subscription or bespoke project fees.
You can purchase credits (typically in multiples of a set amount) to use premium AI models (such as advanced image generation or enhancement tools) without leaving your Photoshop workflow.
Usage is subject to fair-use limits and abuse prevention measures to ensure system stability and cost contro
6.3 Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) Option
For clients with specific compliance, data residency, or usage requirements:
Many of our systems can be configured to connect your own API keys from supported providers (e.g., Freepik, Google AI, or other platforms).
In BYOK scenarios, data processing is governed entirely by your direct agreement with that provider.
BYOK arrangements may be reflected in separate pricing structures and are typically discussed during the scoping or onboarding phase.
For more details, see Our AI Integration Philosophy↗.
6.4 Service Changes and Continuity
If a third-party AI provider changes or restricts its service:
The underlying templates, tools, and non-AI functionality will continue to operate.
However, some AI features may be temporarily limited, require separate sign-ups or credits, or be adjusted, replaced, or removed over time.
Where practical, we will:
Clearly indicate which features depend on third-party AI services
Provide guidance to help you connect your own account(s), purchase credits, or adapt to changes
Explore alternative providers when feasible
6.5 Limitation of Responsibility
We are not responsible for:
The commercial or technical decisions of third-party AI providers
Changes to their pricing, availability, data handling, or terms of use
Your separate contractual relationships with those providers
The quality, accuracy, or appropriateness of outputs generated by third-party AI models
7. Photoshop and Third-Party Software Compatibility
Our plugins and systems often run inside Adobe Photoshop or other third-party tools.
Each plugin release is designed and tested for specific versions of Photoshop (for example, Photoshop 26.1.1).
Adobe typically releases new versions rather than overriding existing ones.
This means:
Your system will remain compatible with the Photoshop version(s) clearly indicated in the plugin or documentation.
You can always continue using that stable combination (Photoshop version + plugin version) as a secure baseline.
We aim to keep systems compatible with future versions of Photoshop, especially when updates introduce significant new capabilities that can benefit you. However:
We cannot guarantee compatibility with every future Photoshop version or update.
Some updates may require technical changes, which may be offered:
As part of a maintenance/update plan, or
Via a separate paid upgrade
We are not automatically obligated to adapt your system to every third-party update, but we will act reasonably in prioritising meaningful updates and providing options where possible.
8. Portfolio Use and Confidentiality
8.1 Portfolio Use
We may wish to showcase selected examples of work (for example, before/after visuals or system outputs) to illustrate what is possible.
Wherever reasonable, we use anonymised or non-sensitive examples.
We respect reasonable confidentiality around unreleased products.
If you have strong confidentiality needs (e.g., stealth products, unreleased branding):
You may request that we do not use your assets in our portfolio.
We can also sign a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that overrides general portfolio rights for specific projects.
8.2 Confidentiality
Both parties agree to treat as confidential:
Non-public product designs, labels, assets and strategies
Unreleased marketing plans and internal documents
Proprietary technical methods and workflows
Confidential information may be used only for the purpose of delivering and using the Services, and not disclosed to third parties except as required by law or with written permission
This obligation survives termination of our relationship.
9. Acceptable Use and Restrictions
You agree not to:
Use the Services for unlawful, harmful, or deceptive purposes
Harass, abuse or harm others through the visuals or content you create
Share, resell, redistribute or sublicense our templates, plugins, tools or systems, except as permitted in a separate written agreement
Attempt to bypass technical protections, tamper with licensing, or reverse-engineer compiled plugins or tools
Misrepresent our work as your own in a way that is misleading about how the visuals were produced
We may suspend or terminate access if we believe you have breached these obligations.
10. Warranties and Disclaimers
We commit to providing our Services with reasonable care and skill.
However, you acknowledge and agree that:
Visual quality, marketing performance and sales outcomes depend on many factors beyond our control (including your product, offer, messaging, audience, budget, and execution).
We do not guarantee any specific level of revenue, engagement, or marketing performance.
You are responsible for how you use the visuals and systems we provide.
Beta features, trials, and early access systems are provided “as is”, with no warranty of uninterrupted operation or fitness for a particular purpose.
To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all other warranties, whether express, implied or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, or loss of data, arising from or related to your use of the Services.
Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the total amount you paid us for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of liability. If those laws apply to you, some of the above limitations may not fully apply, but our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Term and Termination
12.1 Term
These Terms apply from the moment you first access or use our Services and continue until:
Your subscriptions and maintenance plans expire or are cancelled, and
Any bespoke engagements under these Terms are completed and all fees are paid.
12.2 Termination by You
You may:
Cancel subscriptions or maintenance plans following the cancellation process provided, and/or
Decide to stop using any Bespoke Systems once fully delivered and paid.
Fees already paid are generally non-refundable, except as explicitly set out in a separate Refund Policy or project-specific agreement.
12.3 Termination by Us
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services (in whole or in part) if:
You fail to pay amounts due and do not remedy this within 14 days;
You materially breach these Terms (for example, by redistributing our IP or attempting to reverse-engineer our tools) and fail to cure the breach within a reasonable period; or
We are required to do so by law or by a third-party provider on which a critical part of the Service depend
12.4 Effect of Termination
Upon termination:
For Subscription-Based Systems and maintenance plans:
Your licence to those systems and services ends, and you must stop using them.
For Bespoke Systems that have been fully paid:
Your perpetual internal-use licence to the delivered versions remains in effect, provided you continue to honour the IP, confidentiality and usage restrictions in these Terms.
You will no longer receive updates, maintenance or support unless separately agreed.
Sections relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitations of liability, and governing law will survive termination.
13. Changes to the Services and to These Terms
We may update or modify the Services over time to improve performance, security, usability and alignment with new tools and technologies.
We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do:
We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page, and
For material changes, we will use reasonable means (for example, email or a notice on our website) to inform you.
If you continue to use the Services after the updated Terms take effect, you are deemed to have accepted the changes.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Egypt, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles.
Before resorting to formal legal action, both parties agree to:
First try to resolve any dispute informally and in good faith.
If no resolution is reached:
You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Cairo, Egypt for any legal action or proceeding arising from or related to these Terms or the Services.
