Our Terms

Please read all these terms and conditions in full.

This agreement is entered into between GFXDistrict ("Service Provider") and the Client ("Customer"), whereby the Client is engaging GFXDistrict to provide graphic design and web services as outlined in the terms below. By entering into this agreement, both parties acknowledge and accept the terms and conditions set forth herein as binding.

1. General Terms

1.1. Non-Cancellation and Refund Policy: Once work has commenced on an order, cancellations or refund requests are not permitted.

1.2. Right to Reject Orders: GFXDistrict reserves the right to reject any order after it has been placed. If an order is rejected, a refund will be issued promptly, and we will strive to provide the Client with the reason for the rejection without undue delay.

1.3. Original File Ownership: Original design files (e.g., .PSD, .AI) are not included in the quoted price and will not be provided unless explicitly agreed upon before the project begins. Additional charges may apply for access to source files.

1.4. Payment Terms: Payments can be made as either: 100% upfront, or 50% deposit, with the remaining balance paid in installments as project milestones are met. The full balance must be cleared before final delivery of the work.

1.5. Portfolio Rights: Unless specified otherwise in advance, GFXDistrict reserves the right to feature completed projects in its portfolio or promotional materials. If the project is confidential, the Client must inform us prior to the start of the work.

2. Website Development (Front-end Code)

2.1. Website code is provided as HTML5/CSS3 by default unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon during the order process. Additional frameworks such as Next.js, React, Angular, and design systems like Tailwind CSS or Bootstrap can be incorporated as part of the project scope. Platforms like Shopify or Webflow, and integrations with tools such as Supabase or Vercel, are also available upon agreement and may incur additional costs.

2.2. Scope Limitations: The scope of development is strictly front-end (visual elements and user interface). Backend functionality (e.g., databases, login systems, e-commerce features such as checkouts, cart integrations) is not included unless explicitly stated in the order and agreed upon in advance.

2.3. Page Limitations: The number of pages delivered will match the agreed-upon count in the invoice. Any additional pages beyond this scope will require extra payment and will either be charged at a fixed rate or billed hourly.

2.4. Revisions: The project includes up to three rounds of revisions on front-end design and development. Any additional revisions beyond the included scope will be subject to additional charges.

2.5. Browser Compatibility: Code will be optimized for modern browsers (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari). Older browsers or specific device optimizations (e.g., IE 11 or earlier) are not included unless specifically agreed upon.

2.6. Delivery and Support: Once the project has been delivered, ongoing support or maintenance is not included in the pricing. Support can be provided at an additional cost, either as a one-time payment or on a recurring basis, as agreed upon.

2.7. Client Responsibilities: All necessary content (e.g., text, images, and logos) must be provided by the Client before the start of the project unless content creation is included in the scope of work. Delays in providing required assets may impact project timelines.

2.8. Ownership and Licensing: Ownership of the final code will transfer to the Client upon full payment. GFXDistrict retains the right to use elements of the work for portfolio purposes unless a prior agreement for confidentiality is made.

2.9. Integrations and Third-Party Services: If third-party tools or services (e.g., APIs, plugins, or CMS systems) are required, their integration will incur additional fees and must be agreed upon beforehand. GFXDistrict is not responsible for any licensing fees or restrictions associated with third-party services.

2.10. Testing and Debugging: The code will be tested for basic functionality and responsiveness. Additional testing for specific environments, devices, or workflows will incur extra charges.

2.11. Timeline: Delivery timelines will be clearly outlined in the invoice and agreed upon before the project begins. Delays caused by the Client (e.g., missing content or feedback) may result in project extensions.
