Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your use of the Secura Design website (securadesign.com) and any services provided by Secura Design (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our site or services.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Secura Design provides web design, search engine optimisation, app integration, and IT services to businesses. Specific terms, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for client engagements are set out in separate written proposals or service agreements, which take precedence over these general terms.

We reserve the right to:

• Modify or discontinue any service at any time with reasonable notice
• Refuse service to anyone for any lawful reason
• Update pricing with 30 days notice to existing clients on retainer agreements

Project-based work requires a deposit (typically 50%) before work commences, with the balance due upon completion. Monthly retainer fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis.

All fees are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Invoices are due within 14 days of issue. Late payments may incur interest at 1.5% per month (18% per annum).

Due to the custom nature of our work, deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced. If a project is cancelled by the client after work has begun, fees are owed for all work completed to date.

Upon receipt of full payment, you own the final deliverables produced specifically for your project (custom code, designs, and written content created by us for you). We retain ownership of our general methodologies, frameworks, tools, and any pre-existing intellectual property incorporated into your project.

We reserve the right to display completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials unless you request otherwise in writing before the project commences.

All content on this website (including text, graphics, code, and branding) is the property of Secura Design and may not be copied, reproduced, or distributed without written permission.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate information when engaging our services or using our contact form
• Supply necessary content, assets, and approvals in a timely manner
• Ensure you have the rights to any materials you provide to us for use in your project
• Not use our services for any unlawful purpose
• Not attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or resell any deliverables in breach of these terms

When using this website you agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or abusive content through any form
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its underlying systems
• Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to extract content
• Transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code
• Engage in any activity that disrupts or interferes with our servers or services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over the content or practices of those sites and accept no responsibility for them. Visiting third-party links is at your own risk.

Our website and services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses. We make no guarantees regarding specific business outcomes, search engine rankings, or results from any service we provide, though we always work to deliver measurable value.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Secura Design shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of our website or services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of a service engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim in the three months preceding the incident.

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary or sensitive information shared during the course of an engagement. This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, already known to the receiving party, or required to be disclosed by law.

Either party may terminate a monthly retainer with 30 days written notice. Upon termination, all outstanding fees for work completed become immediately due. We will provide you with all deliverables and assets you own as of the termination date.

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time. Material changes will be communicated to active clients by email. Continued use of the site or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
