Last Revised January 13, 2024

AGREEMENT BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND WARDSENT DIGITAL.

Welcome to Wardsent Platform (the "Service") (the "Platform") (the “Website”).

This Service is provided solely to assist customers in business services, digital media, website development, graphics, branding, marketing, consultations, —related goods and services, making legitimate businesses or otherwise transacting business with clients, and for no other purposes. The terms "we", "us", "our", "Contractor", and “Wardsent” refer to Wardsent Digital and its subsidiaries and corporate affiliates, including TVOC Network, a Canadian corporation, (collectively, the "Companies"). “Partner” means any co-branded and/or linked website through which we provide links, content or service. The term "you" or "Client" refers to the customer using the Service, forming an agreement governing provision of services by Contractor for Client (the "Proposal"), or communicating with those affiliated with or regarding our Service. Contractor and Client may be referred to herein individually each as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

This Service is offered to you conditioned upon your acceptance without modification of all the terms, conditions, and notices set forth below (collectively, the "Terms of Use” or "Agreement").

Please read these Terms of Use carefully, as they contain important information about limitations of liability and resolution of disputes through arbitration rather than in court. You should also read our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Website, and is incorporated by reference in this Agreement. By accessing or using this Website, scheduling any consultations for products or services, or contacting our agents, you agree that the Terms of Use then in force shall apply. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, please do not use or book any services through this Website or our agents.

USE OF THE PLATFORM

As a condition of your use of this Service, you warrant that:

You are at least 18 years of age, in the event you are under 18 years of age you have received consent from a Legal Guardian to use Service;

You possess the legal authority to create a binding legal obligation;

You will use this Service in accordance with these Terms of Use;

You will only use this Service to make legitimate purchases for you or for another person for whom you are legally authorized to act;

You will inform such other persons about the Terms of Use that apply to the reservations you have made on their behalf, including all rules and restrictions applicable thereto;

all information supplied by you on this Website is true, accurate, current and complete; and

if you have an account, you will safeguard your account information and will supervise and be completely responsible for any use of your account by you and anyone other than you.

We retain the right at our sole discretion to deny access to anyone to this Service and the services we offer, at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of these Terms of Use.

The Wardsent Digital Process

The first step in our design process is generating a price quote for your service request and the collection of payment: to generate that we need a name and an e-mail. The Wardsent team then provides a 24 hour grace period for any changes or modifications to design requests.

After the grace period, a design draft is generated. Design delivery time frames vary, refer to the time frame delivery schedule for an idea of the time varying requests may take. Once the draft design is finished there is a 48 hour period to submit revisions and corrections. Two rounds of revisions are included free of charge. After revisions the design file(s) are considered completed and sent electronically. 🎉

Payment

All transactions must be made in full, prior to service commencement, through our online platform, unless approval for alternate payment methods is provided in writing by an authorized representative.

Payment Methods

We currently accept bank transfers and major debit or credit cards through Paypal. To protect you, Paypal uses SSL encryption to safeguard your data. We do not see your credit card details at any time and the information is not stored or held by us in any way. For bank transfers, please allow 3 - 5 business days for bank processing times.

Service Charges

Not recognizing the charge on your statement? This could be why: service charges are occasionally billed through our parent company, TVOC Network. If you receive a charge in this company name this means your payment has been processed.

Note: Subscription services are billed automatically with recurring invoices.

Advertising Cookies. Wardsent Digital and our third-party advertising partners may use advertising cookies to show you advertisements both on and off our sites that are based on your interests. We may allow third-parties to collect information about your online activities through cookies to perform their services and may combine the information that they collect about you on our sites with other information that they have collected. These third-parties include business partners who collect information when you view or interact with one of (1) their advertisements on our sites or (2) our advertising or booking information on their sites and advertising networks, which collect information about your interests when you view or interact with one of the advertisements or tracking mechanisms they place on many different sites on the Internet. Our partners may make assumptions about your interests, characteristics, or preferences and add you to groups based on those assumptions in order to show you tailored advertisements. Wardsent Digital does not have access to the cookies these third-parties may use to collect information about your interests, and the information practices of these third-parties are not covered by this Cookie Statement or our above Privacy Statement. Some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies.

Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms:

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to sites with which the browser communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether users are even aware of them. Participants in the leading Internet standards-setting organization that is addressing this issue are in the process of determining what, if anything, sites should do when they receive such signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess our sites’ responses to these signals and make appropriate updates to this Cookie Statement.
