Any design submitted by a customer to Selyn for production is the exclusive property of the customer.
Any design created by Selyn is the exclusive property of Selyn. Selyn is willing to negotiate exclusivity for a specific country or region for products that are part of the Selyn in house collection, given that order quantities can defend that decision.
Design sketches without a complete design, sizes, fabric color specifications, etc. cannot be claimed to be exclusively the customer's when Selyn on our side are asked to invest extensively in development of the concept as well as the product. In these cases, Selyn generally gives exclusivity in the customer's home country, but retains the right to sell it in all other markets, unless the customer's order quantities defend giving exclusivity on a wider basis.
There are bound to be issues of the 'mine, yours, ours' type that arise regarding aspects of exclusivity. Selyn will handle these in an atmosphere of respect and honesty, and aim at solutions that serve both the customer needs and Selyn's ongoing effort to secure jobs for women in Sri Lanka.
