8. White Label Services
Definition of White Label Work
“White Label Work” refers to services provided by No Grey Suits to a client who then rebrands these services as their own for the benefit of their client. This arrangement allows our clients to offer our services under their brand name without disclosing the involvement of No Grey Suits.
8.1 Rights and Display of Work
In instances where a white label agreement is established between No Grey Suits and a client, No Grey Suits will not retain the right to display the client’s work, name, or logo as part of our portfolio or marketing materials. This ensures the confidentiality and integrity of the white label agreement, allowing the client to fully brand the service as their own.
8.2 Indemnity by the Client
The client agrees to indemnify No Grey Suits against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, and losses (including but not limited to direct, indirect, or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation, and all interest, penalties, and legal and other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by No Grey Suits arising out of or in connection with the contract between the client and their client for the White Label Work. This indemnity covers any issues that may arise from the delivery, quality, or any other aspect of the White Label Work provided.
8.3 Liability and Contractual Relationship
For any White Label Work undertaken, the client understands and agrees that No Grey Suits has no contractual relationship with, and therefore no liability to, the ultimate client with whom the client contracts to perform the White Label Work. This ensures that No Grey Suits’ role as a white label service provider is limited to the direct relationship with our client, excluding any direct obligations or liabilities to the client’s end customer.
