Can the buyer use my work if they cancel the order ?

[aslanstores]

does the buyer have the right to use the work i sent after they cancelled the order , cause i had some problems in my life which i couldnot solve so i was late but i told them i would do more designs and videos for them for free so they will be satisfied and happy with the work , but now they cancelled and they are using the logo and everything i did for them 

[mariashtelle1]

No, they can’t use your work unless they paid for it. If they cancelled an order then they also lost rights to use your work

If you delivery your order and buyer see your output or delivery files and put this order in revisions after check then he/she use your work. Actually its depend on your service, cause if you provide design service then after accept the final delivery output buyer seen his/her final design without watermark. But other service al like coding or digital marketing service there is know way to protect your work before canceling the order.

If you delivery your order and he recive this order and download all file but he not stisfied and cancel the order. then use your work as he want

[marufa0013]

If you have already sent him/her your workings, then obviously they have the copy of the work done. However, the final delivery will not be received once the order is cancelled. Actually, it's quite a technical issue to deal with depending on the communication and vibes you get from the buyer.

Sorry about the problems you had. Hope it's been solved

Well from your statement, you claimed to offer the buyer free designs to cover-up for the deadline missed. So the buyer isnt at fault by using your work

[aslanstores]

bruh if i offered something for free that doesnot mean the other 30 designs or whatever i did will be for free. and its considered free if they bought the package , nothing is free

Always add watermark to your designs. 

[alcabsn]

No, a buyer cannot use your design if they canceled their order. Why? It's because they do not own it yet and they don't have permission to use it on anything. Also, please don't say that you will do free works for a buyer so that they can be satisfied and happy. You should only work for free if the buyer gave you an opportunity to prove yourself if you're a designer that can do the job they are looking for. But you should also know your worth as a freelancer/designer. Best of luck!

You must use the watermarks so that the buyer can only download the files once they have accepted the order. That way you can't open editable files or download images without a watermark. How could I be using your logo if you did the above?

That is true but I do not believe that the seller has his work registered to claim the violation of its rights. And in this case if they will be able to use your work without retaliation. He must activate the watermarks before delivering a project, it is his only protection against job theft.

[ayeshamalik100]

of course, No, a buyer cannot use your design if they canceled their order. If you send their work in inbox then they will use because no watermark is appeared on the designs. 

So, Be careful. Don't send the work files in inbox. Always deliver your order on order page.

They cannot use your work but cant protect your idea behind your work. Ive been doing this since a long time and ive seen a lot. here is the drill

1. you work.

2. you dont get paid. complains and reason to cancel.

3. cancel.

4. hire a newbie that  will vectorize, redraw, recreate your logo,work, everything ( for the price of 10 bucks)

5. problem solved 🙂

[todorf5]

Now let me tell you the good side of this kind of theft. Ive got several cases in the past where clients, who told me that i delivered terrible work, actually USE my work on their webpages or other portals WITH THE WATERMARK.  What i win from this? -

TRAFFIC!

The artwork got exposed to thousands of people, they like the work and they saw the fiverr watermark.

And yeah, i lost some bucks with that client and the cancelled order but i got new 20 clients who are willing to work correctly  🙂

So, when you loose something you don`t know what you win.

If you activate the automated watermark, I don't think they'll be able to download the files without the watermark or even open the source file. They can get the high quality version only when they accept the delivery.
