Creative Collaboration Policy

Last updated: 22/01/2026

This Creative Collaboration Policy (the "Policy") outlines the framework under which Studio Drangue, a creative studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark ("we", "us", or "our"), collaborates with businesses (B2B) and individuals (B2C) on creative projects. At Studio Drangue, we believe that the best work comes from collaborative partnerships built on trust, respect, and clear communication. This policy outlines our approach to creative collaborations and creates a foundation for collaboration.

This Policy is intended to provide clarity, transparency, and alignment regarding roles, responsibilities, intellectual property, and commercial terms. It supplements, but does not replace, binding agreements such as contracts, proposals, statements of work (SOWs), or licensing agreements.

1. Scope of Creative Collaborations

We offer creative services and collaborative work including, but not limited to:

  • Visual art and illustration
  • UI/UX and digital product design
  • Video game design and development
  • Interactive media and installations
  • Animation, video, and audiovisual work
  • Concept development and creative direction
  • Creative consulting and prototyping

Collaborations may result in digital or physical deliverables, services, or jointly and contractually developed creative works.

2. Collaboration Models

Every collaboration begins with a detailed discussion to understand your vision, goals, and requirements. We will work with you to define scope, timeline, and deliverables for the project.

2.1 Business-to-Business (B2B)

B2B collaborations typically involve companies, organizations, agencies, publishers, or institutions and are governed by formal written agreements.

Our b2b collaborative policy includes:

  • A clear defined scope of work and deliverables at the initiation of the project. Should iterative approaches be required for the further refinement of concept development, creative direction or various other creative facets of the project, a clearly defined conceptualization stage should be defined, including an agreed upon time frame.
  • Commercial compensation (fees, royalties, or revenue share)
  • Agreed up timelines, milestones, and approval processes of relevant parties.
  • Custom intellectual property and licensing arrangements, with the Studio Drangue standard having Studio Drangue keep any intellectual and licensing rights of any creative material produced by us.

2.2 Business-to-Consumer (B2C)

B2C collaborations typically involve individual creators, artists, developers, or private clients.

These collaborations may be:

  • Commission-based creative work
  • Limited-scope projects or co-creation
  • Personal or non-commercial in nature, unless otherwise agreed

B2C collaborations may use simplified agreements but remain subject to this Policy and applicable consumer protection law.

3. Roles and Responsibilities

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • We act as an independent contractor and creative partner.
  • Each party is responsible for providing timely feedback, approvals, and materials.
  • Delays caused by one party potentially result in timeline adjustments, and any harmful delays detrimental to the project might be cause for ceasing creative collaboration between Studio Drangue and relevant parties.

Clients and collaborators agree not to misrepresent the nature of the collaboration or our role in the resulting work.

4. Creative Process and Revisions

We maintain open and regular communication throughout the project lifecycle, and will provide you with updates and opportunities for feedback at key milestones.

  • The creative process is iterative and may involve expectancy/quality alignment, examples, sketches, prototypes, drafts, or builds in early stages.
  • The number of revision rounds will be defined in the applicable agreement.
  • Substantial changes outside the agreed scope may require additional fees or scope renegotiation depending on severity of substancial changes.
  • Creative judgment and artistic interpretation are inherent to the process and acknowledged by all parties.

5. Intellectual Property Framework

5.1 Background IP

  • Unless explicitly agreed upon through by relevant parties through a verified sale of intellectual property, each party retains ownership of intellectual property created or owned prior to any collaboration ("Background IP"). No transfer of Background IP occurs unless expressly agreed contractually, with any negotations or written correspondence being subject to change until contractual finalization.

5.2 Project IP

Ownership and licensing of intellectual property created during a collaboration ("Project IP") shall be governed by the applicable agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed:

  • Studio Drangue retain ownership of Project IP.
  • Clients, as standard practice, receive a limited, exclusive, non-transferable license to use the deliverables for the agreed purpose by Studio Drangue.

5.3 Portfolio and Promotion Rights

Unless prohibited by contract, we reserve the right to:

  • Display completed or in-progress work in portfolios, on websites, social media, exhibitions, or presentations.
  • Credit collaborators appropriately.

6. Confidentiality

Where applicable, parties agree to keep confidential information disclosed during the collaboration confidential.

Formal non-disclosure obligations may be specified through separate NDAs or agreements.

7. Compensation and Commercial Terms

7.1 Fees and Payments

Compensation structures may include:

  • Fixed project fees
  • Hourly or day rates
  • Milestone-based payments
  • Royalties or revenue sharing

Payment terms, invoicing, and applicable taxes (including VAT) will be specified in the relevant agreement.

7.2 Expenses

Out-of-pocket expenses will only be reimbursed if pre-approved in writing and invoices are provided for relevant expenses.

8. Attribution and Moral Rights

Where applicable and permitted by law, attribution will be provided in a reasonable manner.

Nothing in this Policy constitutes a waiver of moral rights under Danish or EU law, unless expressly agreed.

9. Termination of Collaboration

Either party may terminate a collaboration in accordance with the applicable agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed:

  • Work completed up to termination remains payable.
  • Licenses granted will be revoked if payment obligations are not met.
  • Standard collaborative work will require at least a months notice before the collaboration is determined to be concluded.

10. Ethical and Professional Standards

We reserve the right to decline or terminate collaborations that:

  • Conflict with our values or creative integrity
  • Involve unlawful, deceptive, or harmful activities
  • Involve hate speech, discrimination, or exploitation

11. Governing Law

This Policy and any collaboration arising from it shall be governed by the laws of Denmark.

12. Relationship to Other Documents

In the event of conflict between this Policy and a signed agreement, signed agreements shall prevail.

This Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
