terms & conditions

This website is owned and operated by Culture Fox and owned by Lauren Nash. Established in 2010.

Culture Fox directs all users to the following Terms of Use for our website and our service. We encourage all users to read this document thoroughly. Once you engage with our service we assume that you have read and understood the following and will therefore remain bound by it, at all times.

Any reference to ‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’ refers, at all times, to Culture Fox - Any reference to ‘you’ or ‘your’ refers to our website users and customers. 

SERVICE

Culture Fox is a professional service all about creating beautiful and bespoke branding and websites for you and your business. We use our passion and experience in graphic design to create one of a kind, custom concepts to suit your brand. 

We create ready-made pieces and products and can also work with you to bring your personal vision to life.

We reserve the right to alter our service, at any time, or refuse service to any person that we deem as misusing our service or products, or using them for an illegal or otherwise prohibited purpose. 

WEB DESIGN

Culture Fox offers template website solutions. These websites are hosted on either the Squarespace platform, Shopify or Wordpress. Culture Fox cannot be held responsible for any disruptions to service hosting. There is always the possibility of unforeseen circumstances that can result in your website being down or services being disrupted in other ways. Culture Fox will do our best to assist you if such disruptions should occur, in order to get you back up and running as quickly as possible. 

If you require a Wordpress website please be aware that prices will vary due to the complexity and whether a developer will need to be brought on board. Custom quotes will be provided based on your needs and budget.

If you choose to have your website hosted by an independent third party, Culture Fox will take no further part in the running, updating or troubleshooting of your website. 

DEPOSITS

Culture Fox require deposits to be made at the commencement of any graphic design, branding, web design, or interior design service.

We require a deposit of 50% of the total value of the package for all design projects.

These deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances. If, at any point, you wish to cancel your order, you will forgo the entire amount of the deposit paid. Please see below for further information on cancellations. 

PERSONALISED STATIONERY

Culture Fox also creates custom and individual wedding and event stationary. We require a 50% non-refundable deposit to be paid at the commencement of stationary projects, with the full balance to be paid prior to printing. 

Quotes for these types of projects may vary throughout the year, which is a result of printing prices fluctuating. For this reason, quotes provided by Culture Fox will expire 7 days after they are issued. If you are unable to confirm your work and pay a deposit within this time, you will need to be issued a further current quote to be approved before commencing work. 

DESIGN APPROVAL

For any design work that requires professional printing we ask all clients to approve the work one-month prior to proceeding with printing. This is to allow time for occasional errors on the printing end, which need to be resolved without delaying the project. 

Culture Fox will take no responsibility for errors in printing after proofs have been approved by the client. If you have approved your work, without picking up on faults or errors, and it has been printed in identical form, you will be responsible for the fees and charges affiliated with re-printing, re-delivery and the time involved. 

LATE PAYMENTS

Final payment of the balance of your quote will fall due at the completion of the project and must be paid in full before your work will be released to you. Invoices will be issued at the time of completion. Please ensure that you are aware of the due date of your payment. Late payments will incur a fee of 10% of the total of the invoice. Clients will be liable to pay this amount on top of their original invoice. Culture Fox reserves the right to utilise any avenue at our disposal to recover unpaid monies, including legal or otherwise. 

CANCELLATION

Cancellation of any of our services will result in a loss of the full amount of your deposit paid. If you wish to cancel your project, please contact us as soon as possible. We reserve the right to charge further fees, depending on the level of completion of the product. Late cancellation may result in you being liable to pay the full balance owed for the project. 

SOCIAL MEDIA

Culture Fox reserves the right to post updates or progress images of any project that we are working on to our social media accounts or website. We will never disclose the full project or any major identifying features. Our sharing will only ever be in a ‘sneak peek’ capacity for the purposes of sharing and promoting our brand and work. 

If, for whatever reason, you would prefer your project to remain confidential from the beginning and throughout, please discuss this with us prior to commencement. 

INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS

International clients will be invoiced and can make payment through PayPal. All international clients will be charged an additional currency conversion fee, which will be added to their invoice. 

AFTER HOURS AND WEEKEND WORK

All clients will be given a projected production time for their project. This is based on work done during business hours: Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. If you require work done urgently or request work done out of hours or on weekends, you will be charged above your initial quote at a rate of $180 per hour, with a minimum charge of 1 hour. We accept the right to refuse after-hours and weekend work at our discretion.

CLIENT CONTACT

Our preferred method of communication is e-mail. We do not provide e-mail contact or support after hours or on the weekend. Furthermore we do not take business phone calls after business hours or over weekends. We appreciate your patience when it comes to responding to queries.

We request that clients please keep up communication with us, whenever necessary, at the commencement of and during the project. If projects are delayed due to lack of communication from clients, we will not accept liability for this. We reserve the right to delay your project wherever necessary if we are awaiting approval on certain things. Furthermore, you may lose your place in the schedule if we are unable to confirm your work with you.
