Codage Studio Client Terms & Engagement Conditions
These terms outline how we plan, deliver, and support your project. They are designed to protect both parties, clarify expectations, and ensure a smooth working relationship across every engagement.
Effective date: 30 October 2025
1. Engagement Overview
These Terms apply to any proposal, statement of work, or email confirmation you accept from Codage Studio. The agreed proposal outlines deliverables, investment, and timelines; anything not listed is out of scope and needs written approval before we start.
2. Fees & Scheduling
We typically invoice an initial deposit to book the project, then staged payments aligned to milestones or calendar dates. All invoices are due within 14 days unless the proposal states otherwise. Late or missed payments allow us to pause work and may attract interest at the maximum rate permitted in Victoria, Australia.
3. Your Responsibilities
Provide timely access to stakeholders, assets, and feedback, and make sure any content you supply is accurate, lawful, and properly licensed. Project timelines rely on collaboration; if information or approvals are delayed, delivery dates will shift to the next available production window.
4. Intellectual Property
When invoices are paid in full you receive a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the final deliverables for their intended purpose. We keep ownership of pre-existing code, frameworks, and internal tools. Unless you tell us otherwise in writing, we may reference non-confidential project outcomes in our portfolio once they are public.
5. Confidentiality & Data
Both parties must keep confidential information shared during the engagement private and use it only to deliver the project. We safeguard personal information in line with our Privacy Policy and will request secure access methods when connecting to your systems.
6. Third-Party Services
Projects often integrate with third-party platforms (for example hosting, analytics, email, or automation tools). You remain responsible for any accounts, fees, and compliance with those providers' terms. We cannot guarantee availability or performance of services we do not control.
7. Liability & Consumer Guarantees
To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability for claims arising from an engagement is capped at the fees you paid in the previous six months. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law, and we will always provide the remedies required where a consumer guarantee is not met.
8. Governing Law & Contact
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and any disputes will be handled by the Victorian courts unless mandatory consumer protections require otherwise. Questions or concerns can be sent to [email protected]; we will work with you in good faith to resolve them quickly.
