Terms of Service
Effective date: July 22, 2026 · BrandNovate Digital Inc.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using our website or engaging BrandNovate for services. By proceeding, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using the website at brand-novate.com and any services offered by BrandNovate Digital Inc. ("BrandNovate", "we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use our Services. These Terms apply to all visitors, clients, and other users who access or use the Services.
2. Services
BrandNovate provides brand strategy, visual identity, web design and development, digital marketing, content creation, and related professional services ("Services"). The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any client engagement are set out in a separate Statement of Work, Proposal, or Service Agreement between BrandNovate and the client.
3. Intellectual Property
Upon full payment of all applicable fees, BrandNovate assigns to the client all ownership rights in the final deliverables created specifically for that client, except as otherwise agreed in writing. BrandNovate retains ownership of: • All preliminary concepts, drafts, and rejected designs. • Proprietary tools, templates, frameworks, and processes used in delivering the Services. • Any pre-existing intellectual property incorporated into the deliverables (licensed to the client for the agreed purpose). BrandNovate reserves the right to display completed work in its portfolio, case studies, and promotional materials unless the client requests confidentiality in writing.
4. Client Responsibilities
The client agrees to: • Provide accurate and complete information, content, and materials required to deliver the Services. • Review and provide feedback on deliverables within the agreed timelines. • Ensure that all materials supplied to BrandNovate (including images, text, logos, and data) are owned by the client or properly licensed, and do not infringe any third-party rights. • Make timely payments as set out in the applicable proposal or agreement. Delays caused by the client's failure to meet these responsibilities may affect project timelines and BrandNovate shall not be liable for resulting delays.
5. Payment Terms
Unless otherwise agreed in writing: • A deposit of 50% of the total project fee is due before work commences. • The remaining balance is due upon project completion and before final files are transferred. • Invoices are due within 14 days of the invoice date. • Late payments are subject to interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) on the outstanding balance. BrandNovate reserves the right to suspend or terminate Services where payment is overdue.
6. Revisions & Scope Changes
Each project includes a specified number of revision rounds as stated in the project proposal. Requests for additional revisions or scope changes outside the agreed brief will be quoted and invoiced separately. BrandNovate will notify the client if a requested change constitutes an out-of-scope addition before proceeding.
7. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary or sensitive information shared during the course of the engagement. BrandNovate will not disclose the client's confidential business information to third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law. This obligation survives termination of the engagement.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BrandNovate's total liability to the client for any claim arising from or related to the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific project giving rise to the claim in the three (3) months preceding the claim. BrandNovate shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of revenue, lost profits, loss of data, or business interruption, even if BrandNovate has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Warranties & Disclaimers
BrandNovate warrants that the Services will be performed with reasonable skill and care in a professional manner. To the fullest extent permitted by law, BrandNovate disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. BrandNovate does not guarantee specific business outcomes, search engine rankings, advertising results, or revenue increases as a result of the Services.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate a project engagement by providing 14 days' written notice. Upon termination: • The client shall pay for all work completed up to the date of termination, plus any non-refundable third-party costs already incurred. • BrandNovate shall deliver all completed work to the client upon receipt of payment for work done. • The deposit is non-refundable if the client terminates after work has commenced.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, Canada.
