​

Terms & Conditions

The following Terms and Conditions of Service apply to all products and services provided by CreatEVE Design PTY LTD  (hereinafter referred to as CreatEVE Design) and in the event of any dispute are governed by the laws of Australia.

All work is carried out by CreatEVE Design on the understanding that the client has agreed to our terms and conditions.

Copyright is retained by CreatEVE Design on all design work including words, pictures, ideas, visuals and illustrations unless specifically released in writing and after all costs have been settled. 

If a choice of designs is presented and one is chosen for your project, only that solution is deemed to be given by us as fulfilling the contract. All other designs remain the property of CreatEVE Design, unless specifically agreed in writing.

Project Acceptance

At the time of the design proposal, CreatEVE Design will provide the customer with a digitally written estimate or quotation by email via our Dubsado Client Portal. These Terms and Conditions can be read at any time on the CreatEVE Design website, or by logging into the Client Portal.

A copy of the written estimate or quotation is to be signed and dated by the customer to indicate acceptance and should be returned to CreatEVE Design via our Dubsado Client Portal. You do not need to print this invoice. All invoices are hosted inside your client portal and can be referred to anytime during our contract.

Alternatively, the client may send an official purchase order in reply to the estimate or quotation which binds the client to accept our terms and conditions, or an email acknowledging acceptance of the quotation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the CreatEVE Design Terms & Conditions are the governing terms and conditions for the project only and not any conditions on the customer’s purchase order.

Design Charges

Charges for design services to be provided by CreatEVE Design will be set out in the written estimate or quotation that is provided to the customer. At the time of the customer’s signed acceptance of this estimate or quotation, indicating acceptance of the Terms & Conditions, a non-refundable payment of 50% of the quoted fee will become immediately due.

Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all design services require an advance payment of a minimum of fifty percent of the project quotation total before the work commences or is supplied to the Client for review. The remaining fifty  percent of the project quotation total will be due upon completion of the work prior to upload to the server or release of materials.

Source Files

We will supply proofs and PDF files as appropriate for printing, or other graphic files as detailed in the job scope or request. The client is required to advise CreatEVE Design about the documents requires, resolution and proportions/size.  Files supplied to the Client will not be editable unless otherwise agreed. Templates designed by CreatEVE Design are to remain unedited however, the client may add further content to the templates as is the purpose and intention of providing templates. The original design should not be altered, only added to.

Charges for design work do not cover the release of our copyright design source files, including but not restricted to indd, psd, AI, png, fla or other source files or raw code; if the Client requires these files for transfer to an in-house or other designer, they will be subject to a separate quotation or ‘buy-out’ charge.

Charges for Other Services

Charges for any additional services requested during the project that are over and above the estimated time or out of scope, will become fully payable (100% of the quoted amount) at the time of estimate or quotation acceptance.

Payment

The customer will be provided with an Approval Form or Proof Email, and an Invoice prior to final publication. At this time the remainder of the amount due will become payable and the customer will also be required to sign and return the Approval Form or signify approval via Dubsado (our client management system otherwise known as your client portal)  to CreatEVE Design.

Any invoice queries must be submitted by email within 14 days of the invoice date.

Accounts which remain outstanding for 30 days after the date of invoice, will incur late payment charge of 10% of the remaining amount owed, plus a 5% interest charge  on the outstanding  amount from the date due until the date of payment.

Payments may be made by online transfer, credit card (Visa, Mastercard) or Debit Card via Stripe.

Payments made by cheque must be previously agreed and may be subject to an administration charge. Cheques should not be sent in regular mail.

Returned cheques will incur an additional fee of $50 AUD per returned cheque. CreatEVE Design reserves the right to consider an account to be in default in the event of a returned cheque.

Default

An account shall be considered default if it remains unpaid for 30 days from the date of invoice, or following a returned cheque.
