Attorney review
Required before public production

Draft legal notice

Draft policy for product development. Not legal advice. Attorney review is required before public production launch. Public production launch remains blocked until legal review and operational blockers are resolved.

Scope

Applies to buyer inputs, generated code, documentation, configuration, diagrams, third-party dependencies, AI outputs, and final delivery packages.

User-facing summary

Draft IP policy for buyer-provided materials, generated deliverables, third-party dependencies, open-source notices, and ownership transfer timing.

Buyer materials

Buyers should only provide materials they own or are authorized to use. DesirForge does not acquire ownership of buyer-provided assets solely because they are uploaded or referenced in a project.

Buyers remain responsible for verifying that supplied names, marks, content, datasets, designs, and code can be used for the requested purpose.

Generated deliverables

Draft transfer language should be tied to package scope, payment status, and any third-party license limits. Generated deliverables may include open-source, template, generated, or configured components that carry separate obligations.

Deliverables should be reviewed before production use, especially where IP risk, license compatibility, or regulated requirements matter.

Operational notes

Generated output should include dependency and license notes when possible.

Open-source obligations and third-party assets must be disclosed in handoff materials.

Final ownership transfer rules require attorney review.

Known gaps

Open-source scanning and license review are not complete production controls.

Jurisdiction-specific IP transfer language is not finalized.
