Understanding Intellectual Property in Your Agreement

Introduction

Intellectual property clauses can sound intimidating, but Section 14 of the agreement is actually quite short and protective of you: each party keeps its own pre-existing IP, and nothing transfers ownership of your account.

Key Points

• Each party retains ownership of its own pre-existing intellectual property.
• Nothing in the agreement transfers ownership of the account itself — that remains yours.
• Platform-specific intellectual property remains governed by that platform's own separate terms, not Starkworth's agreement.
• This section works alongside Section 3, which grants operating authority without transferring ownership.
