Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to buddingweb.com (the “Website”) and any services provided by BuddingWeb.

BuddingWeb is operated by A SHARMA & A TYAGI (ABN 68 538 837 926), based in Sydney, Australia.

By accessing the Website, submitting an enquiry, or engaging us for paid work, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website or our services.

Where you enter a separate proposal, statement of work, or client agreement with us, that document will prevail over these Terms to the extent of any inconsistency for the relevant project.

You agree to use the Website lawfully and not to attempt unauthorised access, introduce harmful code, interfere with performance, or misuse our contact channels.

BuddingWeb provides digital services for businesses, which may include:

• Website design and website development
• Branding and visual identity support
• UI/UX design
• SEO services
• Automation services and business systems
• AI solutions and integrations
• Consulting, discovery, and technical advisory

Specific deliverables, platforms, integrations, and outcomes depend on project scope and are defined in your quote, proposal, or signed agreement.

We may update service descriptions on the Website from time to time. Illustrative examples, portfolio work, and marketing copy do not guarantee identical results for every client.

Quotes, packages, and “starting from” figures on the Website are indicative only unless confirmed in writing.

Final pricing depends on scope, complexity, integrations, content readiness, timelines, and any third-party costs (such as domains, hosting, licences, or subscriptions).

A formal quote or proposal is valid for the period stated in that document. We reserve the right to revise pricing if requirements change materially before work begins.

All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated and, where applicable, GST will be shown or added in accordance with Australian tax requirements.

To deliver work efficiently, clients agree to:

• Provide accurate project information, feedback, and approvals in a timely manner
• Supply content, assets, logins, and brand materials required for the project (or engage us to create them if scoped)
• Ensure they have rights to any materials they supply (images, copy, logos, trademarks, and third-party content)
• Nominate a primary contact with authority to approve scope, design, and technical decisions
• Maintain their own backups of business-critical data where not explicitly included in scope

Delays caused by late feedback, missing content, or third-party dependencies may affect timelines and may require a scope or fee adjustment.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, projects require a deposit before work commences, with remaining balances due according to milestones or prior to launch, as set out in your invoice or agreement.

Invoices are payable within the timeframe stated on the invoice (typically 7 or 14 days unless otherwise agreed).

Late payment may pause work, delay launch, or incur reasonable recovery costs permitted by law.

We may use third-party payment processors or invoicing platforms. Their terms apply to how payments are processed.

Estimated timelines are based on the agreed scope, our current capacity, and timely client cooperation.

Timelines are not guaranteed where delays arise from client feedback cycles, scope changes, third-party outages, or events outside our reasonable control.

We will communicate material timeline impacts promptly and work in good faith to agree a revised plan.

Each project includes the number of revision rounds stated in your quote or agreement (if not stated, one consolidated round of reasonable revisions per major deliverable is typical).

Requests outside agreed scope—including additional pages, features, integrations, content creation, or redesigns—are treated as change requests and may require updated pricing and timelines.

We will confirm change requests in writing before proceeding with billable work wherever practicable.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, BuddingWeb retains ownership of pre-existing materials, frameworks, tools, templates, and know-how used to deliver your project.

Upon receipt of full payment for the relevant project, we assign to you ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for you under that agreement (such as bespoke website design, custom copy written for you, and project-specific code), excluding third-party materials and our underlying tools.

Until full payment is received, all work product remains our property and may not be published, transferred, or used in production without our written consent.

Third-party assets (stock imagery, fonts, plugins, SaaS tools, and licensed components) remain subject to their respective licences. You are responsible for ongoing licence compliance unless we explicitly manage this for you under a maintenance plan.

You grant us a licence to use materials you provide solely for delivering your project and supporting related communications.

Many projects rely on third-party providers such as domain registrars, hosting platforms, email services, analytics tools, payment gateways, CRMs, and automation platforms.

Those services are governed by the provider’s own terms, privacy policies, and fees. We are not responsible for outages, policy changes, price increases, or data handling practices of third parties outside our direct control.

Where we configure third-party accounts on your behalf, you are responsible for account ownership, billing, renewals, and credentials unless explicitly included in a managed maintenance plan.

We may recommend or implement providers we consider reliable, but final selection and ongoing subscription costs remain your responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Project delivery does not include unlimited ongoing support unless a maintenance or support plan is purchased separately.

Maintenance plans (where offered) typically cover agreed items such as security updates, minor content changes, monitoring, or platform upkeep as defined in that plan’s scope.

Work outside a maintenance plan—including new features, redesigns, emergency recovery caused by third-party changes, or issues arising from client-side edits—is billable at our then-current rates or as quoted.

We aim to respond to support requests within reasonable business hours but do not guarantee specific response times unless a service level is explicitly agreed in writing.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BuddingWeb and A SHARMA & A TYAGI are not liable for indirect, consequential, special, or punitive loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from or connected with the Website or our services.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to a specific service is limited to the fees you paid to us for that service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies rights or remedies that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.

We warrant that services will be performed with reasonable care and skill.

Except as required by law (including non-excludable consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law), we make no warranties that the Website or deliverables will be uninterrupted, error-free, or meet every business outcome you expect.

Marketing statements, case studies, metrics, and portfolio examples are illustrative. Search rankings, conversion rates, and revenue outcomes depend on many factors outside our control.

The Website itself is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis for general information and enquiry purposes.

Either party may terminate a project in accordance with the written agreement governing that project. Where no separate agreement exists, either party may terminate on reasonable written notice if the other materially breaches these Terms and fails to remedy the breach within a reasonable period.

Deposits and progress payments are generally non-refundable once work has commenced, reflecting allocation of resources, scheduling, and work already performed.

If we terminate without cause before delivery, we will refund any portion of fees paid for undelivered work, less reasonable costs already incurred.

Refund eligibility for consumer transactions is assessed in line with the Australian Consumer Law where it applies.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you grant BuddingWeb a non-exclusive licence to display completed work (such as screenshots, descriptions, and links) in our portfolio, marketing materials, and proposals to demonstrate our capabilities.

We will use reasonable judgment when showcasing work and may anonymise or delay publication on request where practicable.

If you require strict confidentiality or wish to exclude a project from our portfolio, please notify us in writing before or during the project so we can document an alternative arrangement.

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose information when you visit the Website, submit forms, or engage our services.

By using the Website or providing information to us, you acknowledge that you have read our Privacy Policy.

Where we process personal information on your behalf as part of a client project (for example, customer data in a system we build), respective roles and obligations will be defined in your project agreement or data handling schedule where required.

We may update these Terms from time to time by publishing a revised version on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.

Material changes apply from the date of publication unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

For active client projects, the Terms in effect at project commencement apply to that project unless we agree otherwise in writing.
