  6. Fees and Cancellation

    You agree to pay the fees, in such amount and for such billing frequency as specified during registration, in full, prior to any obligation of Design Voilà! to perform under this Agreement. You further agree that, upon registering for the services through the Website or any other media form, you authorize Design Voilà! to charge your method of payment (e.g.: credit card, PayPal account) for the fee on each instance of your registration date, based upon your billing frequency (e.g. monthly, quarterly or annually). Payment of the fees shall be in advance in such amounts and at such times as set forth by Design Voilà! through information provided to you and as authorized through the registration process. The services provided may be suspended in the event of non-payment of applicable fees.

    You represent and warrant to Design Voilà! that such payment information is accurate and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur.

    You may cancel your subscription with Design Voilà! at any time. Upon cancellation, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your paid billing term. Design Voilà! may change its fees from time to time by posting the changes on the website with 5 business days’ prior notice, but with no advance notice required for temporary promotions or reductions in fees.

    There are no refunds including unused time on a plan. However, we have unlimited iterations which means that we will re-work your content until you are satisfied with the designs. The Client is responsible to engage with and use Design Voilà!’s services after your payment. Failure to use Design Voilà!’s services will not warrant a refund, neither in full nor in partial.

    Design Voilà! reserves the right to terminate your account at any time for any reason, however under such cases you will be refunded for any days left under your subscription.

  7. Non-Abuse

    Design Voilà! is designed for the reasonable use of a single individual from a non-creative based business. Our Service under one subscription is not designed to replace a full-time graphic designer, although multiple service subscriptions can always be purchased by you should you wish to have multiple Design Voilà! designers working on your projects.

    If we find that you are not in alignment with our model, violate our core values, or are abusing our services or team in any way, including using our services for illegal deliverables, we reserve the right to cancel your account.

    Your right to use the Design Voilà! services shall terminate upon your breach of any term of this Agreement.

  8. Non-Circumvention

    You agree to not solicit or hire your Design Voilà! designer. You will not pay your Design Voilà! designer outside of the agreement or otherwise create any agreement with your Design Voilà! designer outside of the Services provided by Design Voilà!

  9. Deliverables

    While we do our best to minimize any mistakes, due to the nature of creative design we cannot guarantee all files delivered will be 100% error free. Upon file delivery you agree to review and proof all files for any errors or omissions and notify our team if any changes or corrections are needed. We will make edits to correct the mistakes on a best-effort basis. Design Voilà! is not responsible or liable for any losses, damages, or expenses incurred from errors or omissions.

  10. Confidentiality

    We uphold confidentiality in all communication regarding your brand and business. We will not share any designs or confidential information provided to us with third parties. We will not share any information provided with anyone outside our organization, subject to our Privacy Policy.

  11. Work and Deliverables

    One Design Voilà! subscription will provide you with up to 4 hours of daily design allotment from your Design Voilà! Designer every business day. Simple projects may take less than one business day to complete, however more complex projects will take longer. In addition, revisions will increase the amount of time it will take to complete a deliverable. Design Voila! does not make any guarantees for delivery output, and you agree to not hold Design Voilà! liable for any damages, expenses, or losses incurred from missed deadlines or from projects that take longer to complete than your designer had estimated or stated.

  12. Working Hours and Holidays

    We work from 10 am to 6 pm IST, Monday through Friday. Our team observes holidays based in India. When a holiday falls on a weekday, we’ll take the day off to observe the holiday. As a Client, you will receive a reminder of observed holidays in advance.

  13. Creative cycles

    A creative cycle is a measurement of creative output and what we are able to accomplish in a creative cycle depends on the complexity and total volume of your requests. A creative cycle begins when the request or revision is assigned to a designer, which occurs after you have submitted your design request in writing over email. Your designer will then be notified of your request and will review your email at the beginning of their shift. If the request is unclear, vague, or missing required assets and information, your designer will contact you for clarification. Should everything be clear, they will begin working on your design. We will make every attempt to deliver a request according to your timelines, however there is no guarantee.

  14. Disclaimer

    THE DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. DESIGN VOILÀ! MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR OTHER VIOLATION OF RIGHTS.

    FURTHER, DESIGN VOILÀ! DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING THE ACCURACY, LIKELY RESULTS, OR RELIABILITY OF THE USE OF THE MATERIALS ON ITS INTERNET WEBSITE OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO SUCH MATERIALS OR ON ANY SITES LINKED TO THIS SITE.

    IN NO EVENT SHALL DESIGN VOILÀ! OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA OR PROFIT, OR DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE DELIVERABLES DELIVERED BY Design Voila!, OR FROM ERRORS ON THE OUTPUT PROVIDED BY Design Voilà!, EVEN IF Design Voilà!
