Terms & conditions.
These terms cover two things: your use of the dpxwebsites.com website, and the basis on which DPX Media takes on client projects. By using the site or engaging us, you agree to what's below.
1. About these terms
This site and our services are operated by DPX Media ("DPX", "we", "us"), a sole trader based in Victoria, Australia (ABN 36 386 691 816). "You" means the visitor to the site or the client engaging our services. We may update these terms from time to time — the date at the top reflects the current version.
2. Using the website
You may view, browse, and link to this site for personal or business research. You may not:
- copy, republish, or commercially redistribute substantial portions of the site;
- reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to access non-public parts of the site;
- use the site to send spam, malware, or anything unlawful;
- misrepresent yourself or impersonate DPX.
3. Intellectual property
All content on this site — text, design, images, code, brand marks — is owned by DPX Media or licensed to us, and is protected by Australian and international copyright laws. The "DPX Media" name and marks are ours. Third-party trademarks shown on the site belong to their respective owners.
4. Quotes and proposals
Quotes are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. A quote is an estimate of scope and price, not a contract. A binding engagement starts only when both sides sign a project agreement (or accept it in writing by email) and the agreed deposit is received.
5. Project terms
Where you engage DPX for a project, the following applies in addition to any project-specific agreement:
Deposits and payment
A non-refundable deposit (typically 50%) is required to schedule and begin work. The balance is invoiced on milestones agreed in the project scope. Payment terms are 7 days from invoice unless otherwise agreed. Late payments may accrue interest at 1.5% per month.
Scope and revisions
Each project includes a defined scope and a reasonable number of revisions. Work outside the agreed scope is treated as a change request, which we will quote separately before starting.
Client responsibilities
You agree to provide the content, feedback, approvals, and access we need to do the work in a timely way. Long delays in client response (typically over 14 days without notice) may pause the project and require a restart fee to resume.
Ownership of deliverables
On full payment, ownership of the final design and code we produce for you transfers to you. We retain the right to display the work as part of our portfolio unless agreed otherwise in writing. Stock assets, fonts, plugins, and third-party tools remain subject to their original licences.
Cancellation
You may cancel a project in writing at any time. The deposit is non-refundable, and any work completed beyond the deposit will be invoiced pro-rata.
6. Hosting, third-party services, and ongoing care
Where we configure third-party services on your behalf (hosting, CRM, analytics, etc.), those services are governed by the providers' own terms. We are not responsible for outages, pricing changes, or policy changes made by those providers. Monthly care plans are billed in advance and may be cancelled with 30 days' written notice.
7. Warranties and disclaimers
We provide services with due care and skill. To the extent permitted by law, the site and the services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind — express or implied — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude rights or guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DPX Media is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or data, arising from your use of the site or our services. Our total liability for any claim relating to a project will not exceed the fees you paid us under that project in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify DPX Media against claims arising from content, materials, or instructions you provided to us, and from your use of the deliverables in breach of third-party rights or applicable law.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach if the breach is not remedied within 14 days of written notice. Fees due for work completed up to termination remain payable.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia. You and DPX Media submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the courts competent to hear appeals from them.
