The Design Services Agreement is essential for professional design relationships in Malta, whether involving agencies, freelancers, or in-house designers. This document is crucial when engaging design professionals for various creative projects, from graphic design to product design. It should be used whenever a formal design service arrangement is established, ensuring clear definition of deliverables, timelines, and intellectual property rights. The agreement complies with Maltese legal requirements and EU regulations, incorporating local business practices while protecting both parties' interests. It's particularly important for establishing professional boundaries, managing expectations, and providing legal protection for both the designer and the client.
