    I might be wrong, but I believe that you can still show this work on your website even if you sign their document. My understanding is that you are allowed to show work you created to promote yourself as a designer, and that it would be difficult to stop that like they are intending.

    Unless the work is confidential, or you signed a document beforehand agreeing that none of the work would be made public in any way, I feel like you are protected. You're not going around promoting a competitive business, you're promoting your professional personal self only and that is usually not a problem.

    • yes, they own the rights to use what you created, but you are also the original creator protected by creation rightsmonospaced
    • you can't show it if you sign the document. but it's probably not legal to cover retro active workdoesnotexist
