Intellectual Property Policy

1. Client Ownership Principle

EIDDI's founding principle is "We build it — you own it." All custom software, data models, unique system configurations, bespoke algorithms, and original creative works developed specifically for a client are transferred to the client upon final payment, under written IP assignment agreements.

2. IP Assignment Agreements

Every client engagement includes an IP assignment clause in the service agreement. This agreement: (a) confirms transfer of all client-specific deliverables upon project completion and full payment; (b) grants the client exclusive, irrevocable rights to all bespoke deliverables; (c) defines any retained rights to pre-existing EIDDI tools, frameworks, or components incorporated into deliverables.

3. EIDDI Retained Rights

EIDDI retains ownership of: (a) pre-existing proprietary frameworks, libraries, and tools used to build client solutions; (b) general methodologies and know-how; (c) any components explicitly listed as EIDDI's pre-existing IP in the service agreement. Clients receive a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use retained EIDDI components as part of their delivered solution.

4. No Proprietary Lock-In

EIDDI does not create proprietary lock-in. All code, documentation, credentials, and access rights are handed over to clients at project close. Clients may continue, modify, or migrate their solutions without requiring EIDDI's ongoing involvement.

5. EIDDI Brand & Website Content

All content on www.eiddi.co — including text, graphics, logos, service names, and methodology descriptions — is the intellectual property of EIDDI (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED, protected under Pakistani law and international IP agreements. Reproduction requires prior written consent.
