Legal
Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of cglabs.io and set out the general basis on which CG Labs provides its services. Production work is always contracted separately. Where a signed proposal, statement of work, or master services agreement exists, that document governs and these terms fill only the gaps.
1. Who we are
CG Labs is a visual production studio based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, producing 3D animation, CGI, VFX, and generative video work. In these terms, "CG Labs", "we", "us", and "our" refer to CG Labs. "You" refers to anyone visiting this website or engaging us for services.
You can reach us at hello@cglabs.io or (416) 888-5298.
2. Using this website
You may view, browse, and share this website freely. You may not scrape it at a scale that degrades service for others, attempt to gain unauthorised access to it, or use it to distribute malware or unlawful material.
We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of the site at any time. We aim to keep it available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access.
3. Our content and intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, everything on this site, including the CG Labs name and logo, page copy, showreels, case studies, still images, and the site design and code, is owned by CG Labs or used with permission, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
You may not reproduce, republish, or use our work in your own commercial materials without written permission. Sharing a link to a page, or quoting a short passage with attribution, is fine.
Some work shown was produced for clients or in collaboration with agencies and other studios. Those clients, agencies, and collaborators retain their own rights in their brands, footage, and final deliverables. Client names and logos appear on this site to identify work we contributed to and do not imply endorsement.
4. Your content
If you send us briefs, scripts, footage, brand assets, or other material, you keep ownership of it. You confirm that you have the rights to share it with us and that our using it as needed to do the work will not infringe anyone else's rights.
You grant us the limited licence needed to carry out the project, including copying, editing, and processing your material, and passing it to subcontractors or vendors working on the project under equivalent obligations.
5. Project work
Production engagements are governed by a separate written agreement covering scope, deliverables, schedule, fees, revisions, approvals, credit, and ownership of the final work. Nothing on this website is an offer, a quote, or a commitment to take on a project.
Ownership of final deliverables transfers as set out in that agreement, and typically on full payment. Working files, source scenes, rigs, and project assets are not included unless the agreement says so.
Unless the agreement says otherwise, we may show completed work in our portfolio, on this site, and on our social channels once it is public.
6. Bookings and enquiries
Booking a call through this site reserves time for a conversation. It is not a contract for services and creates no obligation on either side.
Please do not send confidential or sensitive material through the booking form or by unencrypted email before an agreement or NDA is in place.
7. Third party services and links
This site relies on third party services, including Vimeo for video playback and Cloudflare for hosting and analytics. Their handling of your data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
We sometimes link to other websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this site and how we use it. By using the site you accept the practices described there.
9. No warranty
This website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties about the site, including that it will be error free, uninterrupted, secure, or that any information on it is complete or current.
Nothing on this site is professional advice. Figures describing past work, reach, or results are illustrative of previous projects and are not a promise of comparable outcomes.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CG Labs is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of this website.
Our total liability arising out of or relating to this website is limited to one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100). Liability relating to a production engagement is governed by the limits in that engagement's own agreement.
Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify CG Labs against claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of this website, your breach of these terms, or material you supply to us that infringes someone else's rights.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page, with the effective date shown above, is the one that applies. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights you have where you live.
