Terms & Conditions

Agreement to these terms

These terms govern your use of crevionsystems.com and any enquiry you send through it. By using the site you accept them. If you don't accept them, please don't use the site.

In these terms, "Crevion Systems", "we", "us" and "our" mean the Crevion Systems studio; "you" means the person or organization using the site or engaging us.

About Crevion Systems

Crevion Systems is a multidisciplinary design and development studio based in Ontario, Canada, working with clients worldwide. We provide branding and graphic design, UI/UX design, website development, presentations and pitch decks, and social media and paid advertising services.

The site is currently a pre-launch page. Descriptions of our services on it are general information, not an offer capable of acceptance.

Use of this site

You may view, print and share the pages of this site for your own information and to evaluate working with us. You may not:

• use the site for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of these terms;
• copy, scrape, mirror or republish substantial parts of it without our written permission;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its server, or any connected system;
• introduce malicious code, or interfere with the site's availability for others;
• use automated systems to place unreasonable load on the site;
• use the site's content to train a machine learning model without our written permission;
• misrepresent an association with, or endorsement by, Crevion Systems.

We may suspend or restrict access to the site, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, everything on this site — the copy, layout, code, graphics, and the Crevion Systems name, logo and visual identity — is owned by Crevion Systems or used under licence, and is protected by copyright and trade-mark law.

Work shown as portfolio or case-study material may include client trade-marks and materials that remain the property of those clients. Nothing on this site transfers any right in that material to you.

No licence is granted except the limited right to view the site as described above.

Services and engagements

Nothing on this site is a binding offer to provide services. A project begins only when we and you agree its terms in writing — a signed proposal, statement of work, quotation, or an accepted contract on a platform such as Freelancer.com.

Unless that written agreement says otherwise:

• quotations are valid for 30 days and are based on the scope described in them;
• a change to scope is quoted and agreed separately before we act on it;
• each stage includes the number of revision rounds set out in the proposal; further rounds are chargeable;
• timelines assume you supply content, feedback and approvals within the agreed windows, and shift if they are late;
• a deposit may be payable before work starts.

Where a signed project agreement conflicts with these website terms, the project agreement prevails for that project.

Fees and payment

Fees, currency and the payment schedule are set out in the applicable proposal, quotation or platform contract. Rates are quoted in US dollars unless stated otherwise.

Unless agreed otherwise: invoices are due within 14 days of issue; you are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, bank charges or platform fees; third-party costs incurred on your behalf — licences, fonts, stock assets, hosting, plugins, ad spend — are yours to pay and are billed at cost unless quoted inclusively. We may suspend work on overdue accounts after giving notice.

Ownership of deliverables

Rights in final deliverables transfer to you on receipt of payment in full, to the extent set out in the project agreement.

Until then, all rights remain with us. Working files, source files, unused concepts and our internal tooling, methods and pre-existing components remain ours unless the project agreement expressly transfers them. Third-party assets — fonts, stock imagery, plugins, themes — are licensed to you by their owners on their own terms, not assigned by us.

Unless you ask us in writing not to, we may display completed work in our portfolio, on social media, and in award or credential submissions. We will honour any confidentiality period you specify.

Third-party platforms and links

If you engage us through Freelancer.com or a similar marketplace, that platform's terms, fee structure and dispute process also apply to the engagement, and prevail over these terms on matters the platform governs.

This site links to third-party sites we don't control. Those links are provided for convenience and are not an endorsement. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability or practices of any linked site.

Confidentiality

We treat non-public information you share with us in the course of an enquiry or engagement as confidential, and use it only to quote for and deliver your project. This does not apply to information that is already public, that we already held, that we receive lawfully from someone else, or that we are required to disclose by law.

Please don't send confidential material in a first enquiry. If a project needs a mutual non-disclosure agreement, tell us and we'll put one in place before we go further.

Disclaimers

The site and its content are provided as is and as available. We make no warranty that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that the information on it is complete, current or accurate.

Nothing on this site is professional, legal, financial or business advice, and you should not act on it without taking advice suited to your circumstances. To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude all implied warranties and conditions.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Crevion Systems is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of your use of this site — whether the claim is in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised such loss was possible.

Our total aggregate liability arising from your use of this site is limited to CAD $100. Liability arising from a project is limited as set out in that project's agreement.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Crevion Systems against any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense — including reasonable legal fees — arising from your use of this site in breach of these terms or in breach of any law or third-party right.

Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The current version is always at crevionsystems.com/terms-and-conditions, and the effective date at the top tells you when it last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms. The version in force when a project agreement is signed governs that project.

Governing law

These terms, and any dispute arising from them or from your use of this site, are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in it, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, sitting in Toronto, and waive any objection to that venue. Where an engagement is contracted through a third-party platform, that platform's dispute resolution process applies first to disputes it covers.

General

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, it is severed and the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign your rights under these terms without our written consent; we may assign ours on notice, including as part of a sale of the business.

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any signed project agreement, are the entire agreement between us regarding the site, and replace any earlier understanding on that subject.
