Terms & Conditons
Last Updated: December 1, 2025
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern all services provided by Yard Brand Co. Ltd. (“we,” “us,” “our”). By engaging our services, you (“Client”) agree to these Terms.
Scope of Services
We provide branding, design, development, marketing, consulting, and related digital services as outlined in our proposals, estimates, or written agreements. Work begins once both parties have agreed to the scope and initial payment has been received.
Pricing and Payment
- All pricing is provided in writing via proposal or estimate.
- A deposit (typically 33%) is required to begin work unless otherwise stated.
- Remaining balances are due 30 days after project completion. Additional work outside the agreed scope will be billed at our standard hourly or project rates.
- Late payments may incur fees or result in suspended work.
Revisions
Projects include defined rounds of revisions, as listed in the proposal. Additional revisions or changes requested after approval may incur extra costs.
Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to:
- Provide timely feedback, content, approvals, and access needed to complete the work.
- Ensure that any materials supplied (text, images, assets, etc.) are owned by the Client or properly licensed.
- Not to submit our work to LLM without consent.
Delays in feedback or content may affect timelines.
Intellectual Property & Licensing
Ownership
- Upon final payment, the Client receives full ownership of approved final deliverables (e.g., logo files, website designs, code, etc.), unless otherwise stated.
- All drafts, unused concepts, working files, and internal documents remain our property.
- We can use the completed work as examples or in our portfolio unless specifically requested in writing.
Licenses & Third-Party Assets
- Stock images, fonts, plugins, or software may require third-party licenses.
- We pass through licensing costs as needed; Clients are responsible for maintaining compliance with license terms.
Website Hosting & Maintenance
If the Client subscribes to hosting or maintenance services:
- We will provide updates, monitoring, and support as outlined in the hosting or maintenance plan.
- Third-party downtime or service interruptions (e.g., hosting providers, SaaS platforms) are outside our control.
- HIPAA-compliant hosting is available upon request, but the Client is responsible for ensuring their own practices meet regulatory requirements.
Warranties
We guarantee our work will be performed professionally and to the best of our ability.
We do not guarantee specific outcomes (e.g., SEO ranking, revenue increases, ad performance).
All websites are tested on modern browsers and devices. If required, support for legacy or uncommon systems will exceed the scope of the project and will be billed seperately unless it was included in the original statement of work.
Once a website is launched, the Client will receive 30 days of support for bugs, glitches, typos, plugins, integrations, and CMS training. After 30 days, you will be billed hourly unless you have a maintenance agreement.
Limitations
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
- Our total liability is limited to the amount paid by the Client for the specific project giving rise to the claim.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential information confidential unless written permission is granted. We may sign NDAs upon request.
Portfolio Rights
We may display completed work in our portfolio, website, social media, or case studies. Clients may request confidentiality in writing before work begins.
Termination
Either party may terminate the project in writing. Work completed up to the termination date will be billed and must be paid in full. Deposits are non-refundable.
Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. For US-based or other international Clients, projects may additionally reference applicable regional business laws where necessary, but New Zealand law governs these Terms.
Updates to These Terms
We may update these Terms periodically. The version in effect at the time of engagement applies.
