Asset & Deliverables Policy

The Simple Version

When you work with Biomol Visual, you receive beautiful, scientifically accurate video productions that tell your story. You get the final videos in every format you need. You own the rights to use these videos however you want—investor pitches, conferences, websites, everywhere.

What you don't receive are our production files, 3D models, or proprietary tools.

When your project is complete, you receive:

We retain ownership of:

• 3D molecular models and cellular components
• Scene files and project files
• Custom software tools and plugins
• Proprietary visualization techniques

Why This Makes Sense

It's Industry Standard

Virtually every scientific animation studio follows this model. Even companies that advertise "full copyright transfer" typically only deliver final videos—not source files. The Association of Medical Illustrators explicitly recommends this practice as the professional standard.

It Protects Your Investment

You can use the delivered animations however you want. For actual modifications, most clients find it's faster and more cost-effective to have us make updates (we keep your files organized and ready).

Our Asset Library Is Our Business

Over a decade, we've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars building:

• A library of scientifically accurate molecular models
• Proprietary modeling techniques
• Custom software tools and workflows
• Efficient production pipelines

This asset library is literally the foundation of our business. Just like a restaurant doesn't give away their recipes with each meal, we don't give away the tools that make our work possible.

It Keeps Your Costs Down

If we had to rebuild everything from scratch for each client (or transfer our entire toolkit), we'd have to charge 3x more. By maintaining our asset library, we can:

• Start projects faster
• Deliver higher quality at lower costs
• Make updates efficiently
• Maintain consistent scientific accuracy

We understand that sometimes you might require source files—perhaps you have an in-house team or specific technical requirements. If so just tell us about this during the proposal phase.

"But I'm paying for it, shouldn't I own everything?"

You're paying for the final animation and the right to use it everywhere, forever. Just like when you buy a movie ticket, you're paying to watch the film—not to own the cameras, sets, and editing equipment used to make it.

"What if you go out of business?"

We've been doing this for 10 years and aren't going anywhere. We also guarantee that at any point within two years of completing your project, you can come back to us and we'll have you covered.

"How do I know you won't reuse my confidential science?"

We sign NDAs before seeing any confidential information. Your specific scientific story, data, and messaging are exclusively yours. We only retain the generic tools and techniques—never your proprietary science.

"Can I modify the animations later?"

You can use the delivered animations however you want. For actual modifications, most clients find it's faster and more cost-effective to have us make updates (we keep your files organized and ready).

Our Commitment

While we retain our production tools, we guarantee:

• Your science stays confidential - Protected by NDAs and data security
• You own your story - Full rights to use the final animations
• Updates are always available - We keep your files organized and accessible
• Transparent pricing - Clear costs for any additional services

This Is Industry Standard

The entire scientific animation industry operates this way because it ensures quality, protects creative professionals, and keeps costs reasonable for clients.
