Master Services Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern all services delivered by Accentuate IT Pty Ltd (“Accentuate”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By engaging Accentuate, accepting a proposal or invoice, entering a payment plan, or requesting any service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, together with any applicable Service Addendums.

These Terms are written in accordance with Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

1. Introduction & Agreement Overview

1. These Terms apply to all services we provide, including (but not limited to) website design and development, hosting, Care Plans, Growth Plans, the Growth System, digital marketing, consulting, support and related services.
2. These Terms operate together with any proposal, payment plan, invoice, written agreement or email confirmation we issue. If there is a conflict:
   • the invoice or proposal takes precedence for minimum contract terms and cancellation notice; and
   • these Terms apply to all other aspects of the engagement.
3. By using our services, you acknowledge that we act as an independent contractor, not as your employee, partner or agent.
4. This Agreement is governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and both parties submit to the jurisdiction of Queensland courts.

2. Scope of Engagement

1. Your specific inclusions are defined by your invoice, proposal or written agreement. Any service not expressly listed is not included unless later agreed in writing.
2. We may perform work directly or through qualified contractors or partners, and you authorise us to do so.
3. Any work requested outside the agreed scope will be quoted separately or charged at our standard rates.

3. Client Responsibilities

1. You agree to:
   • provide all content, branding, copy, images and materials required for delivery;
   • review and approve all content, configurations, copywriting and materials we create or configure for you, ensuring accuracy, legality and compliance with your industry requirements (including NDIS, health, legal, financial or advertising rules);
   • ensure all materials you supply are legally owned or licensed;
   • appoint a single point of contact with authority to give feedback and approvals;
   • respond promptly to requests, reviews and approvals; and
   • maintain all external accounts required for delivery (for example hosting, third-party software, platform access, CRM tools) and provide correct login access when required.
2. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and compliance of all content published on your website, funnel, CRM or advertising systems, even where Accentuate has assisted with writing, formatting, editing or setup.
3. Delays in providing information, content or approvals may extend timelines and may incur hold or resumption fees as outlined in these Terms and any relevant Addendum.

4. Fees, Billing & Payments

1. Fees must be paid in accordance with your invoice, proposal or payment plan.
2. Payment plans are repayment arrangements for a total contracted amount. All instalments remain payable:
   • even if you cancel early;
   • even if you pause services; and
   • even if you choose not to use the service;

   except where required by ACL.

3. No refunds / no pro-rata refunds: to the extent permitted by ACL, all deposits, milestone payments, monthly fees, retainer fees, Growth System payments and repayment plan instalments are non-refundable, including for change of mind, partial usage, client-caused delays or paused campaigns.
4. Dishonoured payments may incur fees charged by the payment provider.
5. If payment is overdue, Accentuate may suspend services, restrict access or disable hosting, websites, CRM systems or automations until payment is received.
6. Overdue accounts may be referred to debt recovery, and you will be liable for all associated costs (including legal and collection costs).
7. Initiating unjustified chargebacks or payment disputes may be treated as a breach of these Terms. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate services where a chargeback is raised without valid grounds, and all amounts properly due remain payable.

5. Variations & Out-of-Scope Work

1. Variations include (without limitation):
   • additional design concepts;
   • requests beyond brochureware scope;
   • major structural or functional changes;
   • changes after approval;
   • repeated revisions;
   • complex custom development;
   • additional pages, sections or templates; and
   • marketing or design requests outside agreed inclusions.
2. Variations will be quoted separately or billed at our standard hourly rate.
3. You acknowledge that mockups and final coded layouts may differ slightly due to responsive design, browser behaviour and technical limitations.

6. Project Delays, Holds & Resumption Fees

1. Project timelines are estimates only and rely on timely feedback, content provision and access.
2. If delays occur due to missing content, unresponsiveness or client-caused issues, Accentuate may:
   • place the project on hold;
   • charge a project-hold fee;
   • reschedule the project to the next available production window; and/or
   • apply a resumption fee to restart work.
3. Projects delayed more than one month may require repricing and rescoping to reflect updated timelines and costs.

7. Approvals, Acceptance & Rejected Work

1. When a deliverable is provided for review, you have 7 days to provide feedback.
2. If no feedback is received within this period, the deliverable is deemed accepted.
3. Once approved (explicitly or by lapse of time), the deliverable cannot later be rejected, and any outstanding fees relating to that deliverable become due.

8. Intellectual Property, Licensing & Ownership

1. All work remains Accentuate’s property until all invoices are paid in full.
2. Upon full payment, you receive a licence to use your website, creative materials and deliverables for your business purposes.
3. Third-party assets (including premium plugins, themes, licences, fonts and software) remain the property of their licensors. If you leave a Care Plan, premium plugin licences under our developer accounts will be removed. Plugins may remain installed, but functionality may cease until you obtain your own licence.
4. You warrant that any materials you supply (including copy, logos, images, video, data and claims) do not infringe copyright or other rights, and you indemnify Accentuate against any claims arising from materials or instructions you provide or approve.

9. Confidentiality & Non-Solicitation

1. Both parties must keep confidential information private unless disclosure is required by law.
2. You agree not to hire, solicit or directly engage Accentuate staff, contractors or former team members for 12 months after services end, without our prior written approval.

10. Liability, Warranties & Compliance

1. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).
2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Accentuate:
   • disclaims all implied warranties not expressly stated in these Terms; and

   • lost revenue;
   • lost profits;
   • lost opportunity;
   • lost data;
   • reputational harm; or
   • business interruption.
4. Our liability for non-major failures is limited, at our option, to re-performance of the services or refund of the relevant portion of fees, as required by ACL.
5. You are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to your business (including NDIS requirements, healthcare advertising rules, legal practice rules, privacy law, e-commerce and taxation laws). Accentuate does not provide legal, financial, medical, therapeutic or clinical advice.

While response times vary depending on workload, most standard requests are resolved within 1–2 business days, and urgent issues are prioritised. Although we do not offer a formal SLA, we make every effort to provide timely assistance during business hours, and where reasonably possible, we will respond to after-hours urgent issues as soon as we are able.
4. Support scope: Care Plan and service-related support generally covers:
   • fixes and troubleshooting;
   • small content or configuration updates;

   Work is not considered included support where it involves:

   • advanced design work or rebranding;
   • marketing strategy or campaign management (unless part of a Growth Plan or Growth System package);
   • large content creation or copywriting; or
   • structural redesign of pages, funnels or systems.

   Any task requiring more than minor adjustments or basic support is considered billable development or marketing work unless specifically included in your plan. We will advise you before proceeding with billable support.

12. Termination & Notice

   • handover will only occur once all invoices are fully paid.

3. Unless explicitly included in a Care Plan, you are responsible for maintaining your own backups.
4. Accentuate is not liable for data loss except where caused by our negligence.

14. Dispute Resolution

1. Both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve disputes through discussion and negotiation before commencing legal action.
2. Accentuate is not required to continue services while a matter is in dispute and invoices may still fall due during this time.

15. General Provisions

1. If a force majeure event (including but not limited to natural disaster, major outage, strike or other event beyond our reasonable control) prevents performance of obligations, those obligations are suspended for the duration of the event.
2. We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice (for example via email or our website). Continued use of services after changes are communicated will constitute acceptance of the updated Terms.
3. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
4. These Terms, together with any proposals, invoices, payment plans and Addendums, form the entire agreement between the parties regarding the services, unless varied in writing.

16. No Professional Advice

1. Accentuate does not provide legal, medical, clinical, financial, taxation or other regulated professional advice.
2. Any content, copy, guidance, messaging or materials we help create are for general marketing and communication purposes only, and must be reviewed and approved by you for accuracy and compliance before use.

17. Portfolio Use & Case Study Rights

1. You grant Accentuate permission to display work created as part of any service—including websites, design assets, marketing creatives, funnels, automations, CRM configurations and other deliverables—in our portfolio, marketing materials, presentations and award submissions.
2. Accentuate may also publish non-financial performance results, including percentage improvements or statistical changes relating to:
   • website traffic;
   • engagement metrics;
   • enquiry volume;
   • conversion rates;
   • campaign performance;
   • technical performance;
   • retention or utilisation metrics;
   • system efficiency metrics; and
   • financial indicators expressed as percentages only (for example ROAS %, CPA %, cost reduction %, revenue growth %);
   • other non-financial or non-identifying performance indicators.

   These may be published without your prior approval, provided that:

   • no specific revenue, profit, billing or dollar-based financial results are disclosed;
   • no confidential, private or identifying operational data is shared; and
   • your business is not presented in a misleading, unethical or harmful manner.
3. Accentuate will always seek your written approval before publishing:
   • revenue or profit figures;
   • ROI expressed in dollar amounts;
   • identifiable commercial or operational data;
   • sensitive business information; or
   • extended or narrative-style case studies that disclose context beyond percentage-based performance metrics.
4. This clause applies universally across all Accentuate services, plans and Addendums.

Addendum A – Care Plans & Website Services

This Addendum forms part of the Accentuate IT Pty Ltd Master Services Terms & Conditions and applies to all Care Plans, website projects, hosting, support services and website refreshes.

A1. Overview of Care Plans

Care Plans provide ongoing technical support, maintenance, updates, hosting (where applicable), security management and routine improvements to your website.

Care Plans may include (depending on tier):

A2. Minimum Term for New Builds & Refreshes

   • a website redesign or refresh; or
   • any website project provided at discounted or included pricing under a Care Plan.
2. The minimum term begins immediately from the date of signup, including while the website is in “development mode”.
3. After the minimum term ends, the Care Plan continues month-to-month with 30 days’ written notice required to cancel.

A3. Existing Websites (No Build / Refresh)

1. Clients who join a Care Plan without a new build or refresh are on a month-to-month arrangement requiring 30 days’ written notice to cancel.
2. No minimum term applies unless a project is later added under the Care Plan.

A4. 36-Month Website Refresh

1. Clients on a continuous Care Plan may request an included website refresh once every 36 months.
2. Eligibility requirements:
   • you must have been continuously active on a Care Plan for the full 36 months; and

   • e-commerce stores;
   • membership systems;
   • advanced custom development;

5. Requesting or accepting an included refresh triggers a new 12-month Care Plan minimum term, starting from the date of your initial discovery session for that refresh.

A5. Website Design & Development

1. Pixel-perfect disclaimer: website layouts may differ slightly from design mockups due to responsive behaviour, browser differences, platform constraints and technical optimisation. Accentuate will always aim for accurate representation, but pixel-perfect matching across all devices is not guaranteed.

A6. Supply of Materials

1. You agree to provide logos, branding assets, copy/content, images, videos, form details and credentials required to complete your website or updates.
2. Accentuate is not responsible for delays caused by missing or incomplete materials.

   • place the project on hold;
   • invoice for completed work;
   • request final payment for agreed milestones; and/or
   • apply a resumption fee to restart work.

A7. Support Services & Expectations

1. Care Plans include ongoing technical support aimed at keeping your website running securely and efficiently.
2. Support is provided in line with the support expectations and scope set out in the Master Terms. In summary:
   • most standard requests are resolved within 1–2 business days;
   • urgent issues are prioritised; and

2. Hosting performance may vary and uptime cannot be guaranteed.

This section applies where you engage Accentuate for hosting only (without a Care Plan or other ongoing service), unless your invoice/proposal states otherwise.

1. Hosting Types

• Legacy Hosting (Annual): Paid yearly. This option is no longer available for new purchases; however, existing clients may renew annually at the current renewal rate (rates may change at each renewal).
• Hosting Only (Advanced Monthly): Paid monthly at the agreed rate shown on your invoice or subscription.

If you request work outside hosting provision, it may be quoted separately or billed at our standard rates.

3. Non-Payment, Suspension and Termination

• If a hosting invoice (annual or monthly) is not paid by the due date, you have 14 days to rectify the outstanding amount (“Rectification Period”).
• During the Rectification Period, Accentuate may suspend services or restrict access where reasonably necessary to manage risk and outstanding amounts.
• If payment is not received by the end of the Rectification Period, hosting may be moved into termination. Termination may result in your website and associated services going offline.

• Following termination for non-payment, Accentuate may (at our discretion) take a backup of your website and hold it for up to 90 days.
• Backups are provided on an as-is basis. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or restorable integrity of any backup, and backups may not include all data (for example: recent changes, third-party data, emails, external databases, or platform-connected content).
• After 90 days, we may permanently delete backups and associated data without further notice.

5. Limitation of Liability for Hosting Suspension/Termination

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Accentuate is not liable for any loss arising from suspension or termination due to non-payment, including (without limitation) loss of income, loss of profits, loss of data, loss of reputation, business interruption, or consequential loss. You are responsible for maintaining your own independent backups and continuity plans.
