You acknowledge and agree that LogoDesigner.net.au shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion, to pre-screen, refuse or remove any project and/or user provided content that violates these Terms and Conditions or is otherwise objectionable, including, without limitation, projects or content that is illegal, obscene, indecent, defamatory, incites religious, racial or ethnic hatred, or violates the rights of others. Activity that is brought to our attention which appears in our sole judgment to violate the law will be brought to the attention of the proper authorities.
You acknowledge, consent and agree that LogoDesigner.net.au may access, preserve, and disclose your account information and content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

• a) comply with legal process;
• b) enforce these Terms and Conditions;
• c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties;
• d) respond to your requests for customer service; or
• e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of LogoDesigner.net.au, its users and the public.

1. Technicalities

Colours: The default colour model for our logos is the CMYK format unless you specify that you require PMS (Pantone) prior to the start of the project. Any format change after the start of the project will have an additional charge.
File Format: The source file will be in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) format. The fonts will be converted into outlines.
Other formats sent will be JPEG, TIFF, EPS, GIF and PDF. Additional formats can be required upon request.

(a) Description.

The LogoDesigner.net.au Service is an online offering where individuals or entities that have signed up with LogoDesigner.net.au as clients (each, a “Client”) can post specific assignments and project descriptions, including illustrative samples or other media (each, a “Creative Brief”), revise those Creative Briefs (each, a “Revision Brief”) and obtain responses (each, a “Response”) to those Creative or Revision Briefs from design experts retained by LogoDesigner.net.au (“Members”). LogoDesigner.net.au will provide you, as the Client, the Service according to the Package you have chosen as detailed in section 1
(e) below. Your Responses will be created iteratively through a drafting cycle of Creative Briefs, Revision Briefs and Responses, ultimately resulting in a final Response conforming to your various Creative and Revision Briefs.

(b) Creative Brief and Responses.

You are solely responsible for preparing and posting detailed descriptions of each of your Creative Briefs to the Web Site, including providing samples illustrating your Creative Brief and any relevant deadlines. For each Response to a Creative Brief that you want to receive, a term sheet (a “Term Sheet”) will be generated that will contain, and be subject to, the terms and conditions you have established for the Creative or Revision Brief. LogoDesigner.net.au is under no obligation to review a Creative or Revision Brief or Term Sheet for any purpose, including accuracy, completeness of information, quality or clarity. LogoDesigner.net.au may decide, in its sole discretion, to deny a Creative or Revision Brief or a Term Sheet.

(c) Reviewing Responses.

When LogoDesigner.net.au provides you with a Response, you are responsible for reviewing the Response. If you fail to promptly inform LogoDesigner.net.au that the Response is not reasonably responsive to the related Term Sheet or Creative Brief, you will be deemed to have accepted the Response. If you notify LogoDesigner.net.au that you think a response is not reasonably responsive to the related Creative Brief, you shall then submit to the Web Site a Revision Brief containing information regarding amendments or modification to be made to the initial Response. After you provide LogoDesigner.net.au with a Revision Brief, LogoDesigner.net.au will provide you with a subsequent Response that conforms to the additional criteria you requested. LogoDesigner.net.au is not responsible for the content of Responses developed to the extent that such Responses are prepared to conform to your Creative or Revision Briefs.

(d) Revision Cycles.

Revision cycles generally consist of 2-6 additional compositions that incorporate changes you request in a Revision Brief. The purpose of the revision process is to create Responses that move your project forward in the specific direction you have determined. You may request significant changes in the first and second cycles, and the Responses generated might be quite different in nature from the original composition you selected. By the third revision request, your requests shall be modifications of the current composition only.

3. Refund, Cancellation & GST/Tax Policy

In any event, any deposited funds for a project shall not be subject to refund after delivery if the initial design concepts are approved, or a change is requested unless Logodesigner.net.au cancels or terminates your Contract for a reason other than your breach or non-performance.
Logodesigner.net.au will give your money back, in case you make a request when the initial concepts for a logo are offered. However once you approve or request changes in the initial designs, the refund offer becomes void and refund request will not be entertained. For multiple / combo packages, refund will be applicable the same as it is on the single packages. For example, if you order logo and web design service and approve the logo, you can claim refund for the website service at the time of initial design only. All refunds are subject to a minimum Administration Fee. A refund request will need to have a valid reason which must be qualified against the design brief and customer feedback for revisions. Unless a concept has not been designed according to the brief, a refund will not be given however further revisions will be provided until complete satisfaction. Money back guarantee is based on that the order is placed in good faith. Where a customer has placed design orders with more than one design agency for the same job with the intention to claim refund, we do not consider it a good faith. In such a case we reserve the right to decline a refund request. Almost all design jobs require customer feedback before finalizing the design therefore it is only fair that the customer gets involved and provides feedback in order to get the desired results. 100% unique design guarantee entitles you to a re-draw if our designed logo is to be found considerably similar to another logo design that may already exist. Any resemblance to an existing design will be merely a coincidence and Logodesigner.net.au will not accept any responsibility or claim of any compensation in such a case. It is the client’s responsibility to get their art work copyrighted.
An order can be cancelled 24 hours prior to the delivery date at no cost. If you cancel your order within 24 hours of the delivery date, a charge of $45.00 will apply. Cancellations are accepted on the prescribed form which can be downloaded from http://www.logodesigner.net.au/downloads/cancel.pdf. A signed & scanned copy will need to be emailed to sales@logodesigner.com.au.
Cancellation of orders with 16 hours and 24 hours delivery service is subject to a minimum Administration Fee of $200.00. Where order value is less than $200.00, the order value will be deemed as the Administration Fee.
Payments made by Visa, Master and Amex cards are processed by Barclaycard merchant services. Logodesigner.net.au do not hold customer card details on their systems in order to provide maximum security and to remain compliant. Where recurring billing is required, card details are stored with Barclaycard for future payments. Payments via PayPal & Discover Card are processed by PayPal.
All prices advertised on this website are excluding GST/Tax. Customers having a billing address within Australia will be charged GST at the applicable rate. Customers outside of Australia will not be charged GST.
