By purchasing any service from LUX Branding Solutions the client is agreeing to the service terms agreement as expressed below. These policies have been put into place to protect both the client and LUX Branding Solutions.
Authorization. The client is engaging LUX Branding Solutions as an independent contractor for the project discussed. The client hereby authorizes LUX Branding Solutions with full excess to all necessary materials, accounts, resources, and programs for project completion. LUX Branding Solutions will not share, trade, distribute or sell this information, nor are they to be held responsible for any damage or loss of data.
Cancellation and Termination. Either party may cancel and terminate the project at any time for any reason, in such event all work will stop immediately and all payments made prior shall be retained by LUX Branding Solutions. All liable expenses already incurred by LUX Branding Solutions or those LUX Branding Solutions are liable to pay shall be paid by the client in full. If cancellation and termination are done on the part of LUX Branding Solutions or occurs prior to the design approval no cancellation fee will apply. However, if the cancellation and termination are done on the part of the client after design approval the client may be liable to pay 75% of the remaining project balance. In the event of cancellation and termination, LUX Branding Solutions retains ownership of all copyright and any original artwork. No refunds are available once the digital product has been signed off and handed over to the client.
Monthly Subscriptions
Your monthly subscription will start when we confirm your payment and will continue for a period of thirty days. When you purchase a monthly subscription, auto-renew is automatically selected. At the end of the monthly subscription period, you will automatically be signed up and billed for an additional subscription term of 30 days.
You may change your auto-renewal preferences by contacting us directly, but no refunds will be paid on any remaining subscription period.
Subscription pricing is subject to change. New pricing may take effect upon the annual renewal of your subscription.
Should you renew any subscription, unless otherwise advised, this renewal and future renewals will be subject to these subscription terms and conditions.
Your payment will then be processed by us. A binding contract comes into effect between us once we contact you within to confirm your order with your access details ( for non-print subscriptions) but this is conditional upon these Subscription Terms and Conditions applying.
Subscriptions/Access rights are supplied subject to availability, remaining in current circulation, and continuing to be owned by us or licensed to us. In the event that we are unable to supply any subscriptions/access rights for the agreed term, we will inform you as soon as possible and provide you with a pro-rate refund in the event that you have paid for a period for which we cannot comply. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not, however, be liable for any other direct or indirect losses, nor any losses (as set out in Clause 6), caused as a result of not being able to supply you with the subscriptions for all or any of the periods subscribed to. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Alteration of service or amendments to the conditions
We reserve the right to make changes to our website, policies, and these terms and conditions at any time. You will be subject to the general policies and conditions in force at the time that you use the website or that you order goods from us unless any change to those policies or these conditions is required to be made by law or government authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you). If any of these conditions are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition will be deemed severable and the closest enforceable substitute (if possible) will be included and the excluded clause will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining conditions.
Events beyond our reasonable control
We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control including reasons of Force Majeure which shall include any default due to an act of God, war, or threatened war, act of terrorism or threatened act of terrorism, strike, lockout, industrial action, health epidemic or pandemic, fire, flood, drought, tempest or other event beyond the control of either party.
