Sounds like a cool idea, I don't need it at the moment but I do have a few questions:

1) What happens if you don't deliver in 24 hours? Can I bet my business on your promises?

2) What is your copyright assignment language? I'd like to know that before paying for anything.

3) Same deal for NDAs - Where are you located? I can't send certain info overseas for example.

4) "Chicken" is misspelled in one of your portfolio images. If I were you I'd either fix it or remove it because it looks sloppy.

5) Devils advocate here: What's stopping me from arbitrage? I submit a job to you every day for 99designs projects, and then submit your work as my own. Shoot I could probably even write a script for this...

pbnjay, great questions.

1) We will deliver in 24 hours and if we don't you can get your money back. We have plenty designers ready to take care of whatever needs to be done. Of course, we work under the premise that we do "Small tasks".

2) The client owns the Intelectual Property, forever. We just do the job, so we will provide a copyright assignment whenever needed.

3) We are officially located in Hong Kong but our designers are all over the world.

4) Good catch! the flyer was made in an other language and we translated it to english, our designers will be working on it, right away.

5) That's an interesting spin-off, but definitely not the nature of the service.
