Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 19 June 2025

Welcome to Observed! By working with us (Observed Pty Ltd, ABN pending), you agree to the terms below. These Terms and Conditions outline the way we work with clients and provide our services.

Please read them carefully, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.


1. Who We Are

Observed Pty Ltd
Mount Coolum, Sunshine Coast QLD 4573
0401 474 178
studio@observed.com.au

We provide branding, web design, graphic design, and hosting services, with a focus on creative, sustainable, and tailored solutions for small businesses and startups.


2. Our Services

We offer services including (but not limited to):

  • Web design & development

  • Branding & visual identity

  • Graphic design for print and digital

  • Domain, hosting, and email services (including Microsoft 365)

  • Website maintenance and support packages

Full details of your specific service will be confirmed in a proposal, quote, or written agreement.


3. Quotes & Invoices

  • All quotes are valid for 30 days.

  • A deposit (typically 50%) is required to begin most projects.

  • Final payment is due on completion, prior to project launch or handover.

  • Late payments may incur a fee and can delay delivery.

We accept direct deposit and may provide other payment methods by arrangement.


4. Timelines & Revisions

We’ll always do our best to meet agreed timelines. We rely on good communication and timely feedback to keep projects moving smoothly.

We include a set number of revisions (outlined in your quote). Additional changes may be billed at our standard hourly rate, which we’ll always communicate upfront.


5. Client Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide clear and timely feedback

  • Supply any required content (text, images, logos) unless otherwise agreed

  • Make payments on time

  • Use your website, brand, or content responsibly and legally


6. Hosting & Domains

If you host with us, we’ll provide fast, secure, Australian-based hosting (with carbon offset included!). You’re responsible for keeping login credentials safe and for any content you upload.

We offer maintenance plans but are not liable for outages caused by third-party providers or software updates unless you’re on a current care plan with us.


7. Intellectual Property

All final designs, websites, and brand assets we create for you are yours once full payment is received.

We reserve the right to display work in our portfolio unless you request otherwise.


8. Cancellations & Refunds

If a project is cancelled by you partway through, you’ll be invoiced for work completed to date. Deposits are generally non-refundable due to time and resources already committed.


9. Limitation of Liability

We take pride in our work, but can’t guarantee your website or designs will lead to specific business results. We’re not responsible for any indirect or consequential loss arising from use of our services.


10. Updates to These Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time. We’ll post the latest version on our website.
