Terms of Service

By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

These terms apply to all visitors, clients, and anyone who accesses or uses our services. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

Aphrick Graphix provides web design, web development, brand identity, UI/UX design, SEO, IT support, cybersecurity consulting, and related digital services.

The specific scope of services, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for any given project are agreed upon in a separate project proposal or contract. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed project agreement, the project agreement takes precedence.

Proposals & Agreements — All project work begins with a written proposal or statement of work agreed upon by both parties. No work commences until a proposal is accepted and any required deposit is received.

Revisions — Each project includes a defined number of revision rounds as specified in the proposal. Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope may be billed at our standard hourly rate.

Timelines — We provide estimated timelines based on project scope and current workload. Delays caused by late client feedback, incomplete content, or scope changes may affect delivery dates.

Client Responsibilities — Clients are responsible for providing timely feedback, required content (text, images, brand assets), and approvals. Significant delays on the client's part may result in rescheduling or additional fees.

Deposits — Most projects require a deposit (typically 50%) before work begins. The deposit amount will be specified in your project proposal.

Invoicing — Remaining balances are invoiced upon project completion or at milestones as outlined in the project agreement.

Payment Due — Invoices are due within 14 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed.

Late Payments — Outstanding invoices beyond 30 days may be subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month. We reserve the right to pause work on overdue accounts.

Refunds — Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced. If a project is cancelled after work has begun, you will be billed for work completed to date.

Client-Owned Assets — Upon receipt of full payment, all custom design and development work created specifically for you becomes your property. This includes final design files, source code, and deliverables as specified in the project agreement.

Our Portfolio Rights — Unless you request otherwise in writing, we reserve the right to display completed work in our portfolio and use it in marketing materials.

Third-Party Assets — Stock images, fonts, plugins, or other third-party materials incorporated into your project may be subject to their own licensing terms. We will inform you of any such assets requiring separate licensing.

Pre-Existing IP — Any tools, frameworks, templates, or methodologies we use that existed prior to your project remain our intellectual property.

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary business information, strategies, or trade secrets shared during the course of the engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the project.

We will not disclose your project details, business strategies, or sensitive information to third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law.

We warrant that:

• Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner.
• Deliverables will substantially conform to the agreed-upon specifications.
• We have the right to provide the services described.

You warrant that:

• You own or have the right to use any content, images, or materials you provide to us.
• Your use of our deliverables will not infringe upon the rights of any third party.
• You have the authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of your organisation.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Aphrick Graphix shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, loss of data, or business interruption, arising from your use of our services.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

Either party may terminate a project engagement with written notice. Upon termination:

• You will be invoiced for all work completed to the date of termination at the agreed project rate.
• We will deliver any completed work product upon receipt of all outstanding payments.
• Each party will return or destroy any confidential materials belonging to the other party.

We reserve the right to terminate services immediately and without notice if you engage in conduct that is unlawful, harmful, or in breach of these terms.

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, the parties agree to attempt mediation before resorting to litigation.
