The Client will pay the Fees in accordance with this Agreement. Fees are exclusive of GST unless otherwise indicated. All Webbed Up is registered for GST under the GST Law and will be entitled to add GST to any taxable supply made under this Agreement. Where Fees are based on a rate, any time less than the applicable unit is charged on a pro-rated basis.
4.2 Deposit
All Webbed Up may, in its sole discretion, require the Client to pay a deposit of up to 50% of any estimate or quotation of Fees as a condition to the commencement or continuation of the Services. All deposits are non-refundable as they cover work and resources already committed.
4.3 Direct Debit Authority
For certain ongoing engagements, All Webbed Up may request that the Client set up a direct debit authority to streamline recurring payments. This will only be requested where it is practical and agreed upon by both parties. Any authority provided will be used solely to collect agreed Fees and charges as they fall due.
4.4 Invoicing
All Webbed Up will provide the Client with a tax invoice in accordance with the GST Law. Payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date. When making a payment, the Client must quote the relevant invoice number. If the Client has a concern about an invoice, it must be raised in writing within 7 days of receipt, after which the invoice is deemed accepted. The undisputed portion of any invoice remains payable by the due date.
4.5 Costs and Disbursements
All Webbed Up is permitted to charge for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in performing the Services.
4.6 Failure to Pay
If the Client does not make payment by the due date, All Webbed Up may: (a) charge interest at 10% per annum calculated daily from the due date; (b) require the Client to pay in advance for any Services not yet performed; (c) suspend or cease the Services until payment is received; and (d) recover all reasonable debt recovery costs including legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis.
4.7 Out-of-Scope Work
Work outside the agreed scope will be charged at the rates set out in the Rate Card, or at a rate confirmed in writing before the work commences. All Webbed Up will not commence out-of-scope work that incurs additional charges without first notifying the Client, except in urgent circumstances.
4.8 Annual Fee Review
All Webbed Up may review and adjust Fees annually with not less than 30 days' written notice. The Client may terminate in accordance with clause 9 if it does not accept the revised Fees.
All Webbed Up's Personnel
All Webbed Up operates with team members in Australia and internationally. The team assigned to the Client's account will reflect the agreed scope and pricing. If the Client has reasonable grounds to request the removal of a specific team member, it must do so in writing with those grounds disclosed. All Webbed Up will, as soon as practicable, provide an alternative person reasonably acceptable to the Client.
Client's Obligations
- (a)Cooperate with All Webbed Up as reasonably required.
- (b)Provide information, documentation, and access to Systems and Facilities that All Webbed Up reasonably requires, including advertising accounts, website backends, and social media profiles.

- (d)Not charge for All Webbed Up's use of Facilities or Systems.
- (e)Communicate with All Webbed Up and its Personnel in a respectful and professional manner at all times. All Webbed Up reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice if the Client, or any representative of the Client, engages in conduct that is abusive, threatening, harassing, or otherwise unreasonable toward All Webbed Up or any of its Personnel. In such circumstances, all outstanding fees remain payable in full.
- (f)Where the Client is requested to provide feedback, approvals, or content by a specified date or within a reasonable period requested by All Webbed Up, and fails to do so within 14 days of that request without reasonable explanation, All Webbed Up may treat that stage as approved and proceed accordingly. Client-caused delays do not affect All Webbed Up's right to invoice for work completed, and timelines are extended day-for-day for any delay caused by the Client.
6.1 Client Inactivity
All Webbed Up understands that clients sometimes have busy periods and unavoidable delays. Where the Client is unable to engage for an extended period, we encourage open communication so we can make appropriate arrangements. If the Client fails to engage, respond to communications, or provide required instructions for a period of 60 consecutive days without reasonable explanation or advance notice, All Webbed Up may: (a) pause all active Services and continue invoicing the retainer or management fee during the pause period; or (b) treat the Agreement as terminated by the Client with the applicable notice period fees applying under clause 9. All Webbed Up will give the Client 14 days' written notice before exercising either option, and will make reasonable efforts to contact the Client through multiple channels during that period.
6.2 Regulated Industries and Compliance
- (a)The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that its products, services, and advertising content comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and platform policies. This includes without limitation the Australian Consumer Law, the Spam Act 2003, the Privacy Act 1988, ASIC regulations, the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, Therapeutic Goods Administration requirements, and any other industry-specific regulatory framework applicable to the Client's business.
- (b)The Client warrants that its products and services are legally advertisable on each nominated platform and that it holds all licences, registrations, and approvals required to conduct its business and advertise its products or services. The Client must immediately notify All Webbed Up in writing if its regulatory status, licences, or product approvals change in any way that may affect the Services.
- (c)All Webbed Up will not knowingly create content that breaches applicable laws or platform policies, but is not responsible for ensuring the Client's compliance with laws specific to the Client's industry or products. Where All Webbed Up follows the Client's instructions in good faith and those instructions result in a regulatory breach, the Client indemnifies All Webbed Up in full against all resulting claims, fines, penalties, and costs.
6.3 AI Tools Disclosure
All Webbed Up may use AI-powered tools in the delivery of the Services, including for content creation, image generation, code assistance, data analysis, and strategy development. The Client acknowledges this and is responsible for notifying All Webbed Up of any restrictions on the use of AI tools that apply to its industry, compliance obligations, or internal policies. All Webbed Up accepts no liability for any regulatory or compliance issue arising from the Client's failure to disclose such restrictions.
6.4 Brand Safety
If the Client's business, products, or public conduct becomes the subject of legal proceedings, regulatory investigation, significant reputational controversy, or media scrutiny that All Webbed Up reasonably considers harmful to its own reputation, All Webbed Up may pause or terminate the Services on 7 days' written notice without liability. All fees accrued to the date of termination remain payable.
No Partnership or Employment Relationship
- (a)Nothing in this Agreement constitutes the relationship of employer and employee between the Client and All Webbed Up or between the Client and any of All Webbed Up's Personnel.
- (b)It is the express intention of the Parties that any such relationships are denied.
Use of Other Persons and Third Party Platforms
- (a)All Webbed Up is permitted to use or engage other persons to provide some or all of the Services, including web designers, videographers, digital marketing agencies, content creators, and search engine or social media platforms.
- (b)All Webbed Up is authorised to engage such persons on behalf of the Client and may bind the Client to the terms and conditions of any third-party service, including social media platforms and search engine providers.
- (c)Where another person is used or engaged to provide some or all of the Services, All Webbed Up will, to the extent practicable, ensure that the terms and conditions of that person's engagement furthers the provision of the Services to the standard required by this Agreement.
- (d)The Client acknowledges and agrees that the performance of other persons is not within the control of All Webbed Up and All Webbed Up's liability for any Claims or Losses in connection with the services of other persons is limited as provided in clause 11.
8A Advertising Spend Authorisation
- (a)Where the Services include the management of paid advertising campaigns, the Client authorises All Webbed Up to spend up to the agreed monthly advertising budget on the Client's behalf across nominated platforms including but not limited to Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
- (b)All Webbed Up will make reasonable efforts to allocate the advertising budget in accordance with the agreed strategy. The Client acknowledges that advertising spend decisions involve professional judgement and that All Webbed Up is not liable for campaign performance outcomes.
- (c)The Client must not dispute, reverse, or withhold advertising spend payments after those funds have been committed to a platform on the Client's behalf. Any such spend already placed with a platform is non-recoverable and remains the Client's liability.
- (d)In the event of a payment dispute or non-payment by the Client, All Webbed Up reserves the right to suspend or pause all active advertising campaigns immediately until the matter is resolved. All Webbed Up accepts no liability for any loss arising from such a suspension.
- (e)Where All Webbed Up deploys ad spend through the Client's own platform accounts using the Client's payment details, the Client's separate Card Authorisation Form governs that authority and is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
8B Platform Account Suspension
If the Client's advertising account is suspended or restricted by a platform due to the nature of the Client's products, services, content, or conduct, that suspension is not a service failure by All Webbed Up and does not entitle the Client to a refund of management fees or ad spend. The Client indemnifies All Webbed Up against any fine, penalty, or cost imposed by a platform arising from the Client's products, content, or conduct.
8C Access to Managed Environments
- (a)Where All Webbed Up manages accounts, dashboards, platforms, profiles, or systems on behalf of the Client, All Webbed Up will always seek to resolve any issues through open communication before taking any action affecting the Client's access. In circumstances where a significant unresolved issue exists — such as a payment that remains outstanding after follow-up, a material and unremedied breach of this Agreement, or conduct that All Webbed Up reasonably considers seriously harmful to its operations or personnel — All Webbed Up may, as a last resort, temporarily suspend the Client's access to those managed environments.
- (b)All Webbed Up will provide reasonable written notice before suspending access where circumstances permit, and will work constructively with the Client toward a prompt resolution. Access will be reinstated as soon as the relevant matter is resolved.
- (c)All Webbed Up accepts no liability for disruption arising from a suspension undertaken in accordance with this clause, where that suspension followed reasonable attempts at resolution.
Cancellation and Termination
9.1 Notice Period
A minimum of one full billing cycle's written notice is required to cancel or pause any ongoing Service. In most cases this is 30 days, unless a different notice period is agreed and specified in the Acceptance Form. Notice must be given in writing (including by email) to All Webbed Up's nominated contact. Verbal notice is not effective. Failure to provide adequate notice may result in the final notice period's fees being payable in full.
9.2 Notice Mid-Cycle
Where notice is given mid-billing cycle, the Client remains liable for the full fees for the current billing cycle plus the full notice period. The notice period does not begin until the first day of the next billing cycle following receipt of valid written notice.
9.3 Termination for Breach or Insolvency
- (a)Either party may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing if the other party: (i) fails to observe any term of this Agreement; and (ii) fails to rectify the breach within 7 days of written notice of the breach.
- (b)Either party may terminate this Agreement upon: (i) giving at least 1 month's written notice; (ii) the Client entering into a deed of arrangement or an order being made for it to be wound up; (iii) an administrator, receiver, or liquidator being appointed to the Client pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth); or (iv) the Client being presumed insolvent by a court in any of the circumstances referred to in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
9.4 Payment in Lieu of Notice
The Client may, at its discretion, pay to All Webbed Up the equivalent amount of the Fees payable during the notice period in lieu of serving out that notice period.
9.5 Performance Concerns and Resolution
All Webbed Up is committed to delivering real results and takes performance concerns seriously. If the Client is dissatisfied with results or performance, we strongly encourage raising concerns early so we can address them together. Where the Client wishes to terminate on the basis of performance dissatisfaction, both parties agree to first work through the following collaborative process: (a) the Client raises the concern in writing, specifying what outcomes they expected and what they have experienced; (b) All Webbed Up will acknowledge the concern within 3 business days and schedule a strategy review; (c) both parties participate in good faith in a 30-day improvement period during which All Webbed Up will implement agreed changes and the Client will continue to provide the cooperation and access required under clause 6. Payment obligations continue during this period. If both parties genuinely agree at the end of the 30-day period that the engagement is not working, either party may terminate by giving the notice required under clause 9.1. This process is designed to protect both parties and give every engagement a fair chance at success.
9.6 Effect of Termination
- (a)Upon termination, all outstanding fees, expenses, and reimbursements payable by the Client must be paid within 7 days after the termination date.
- (b)All Webbed Up will, within 14 days of termination, provide a transition summary of current campaign status and access credentials for the Client's own accounts, subject to receipt of all outstanding Fees.
- (c)Where All Webbed Up manages hosting, domain registration, platform subscriptions, or infrastructure on the Client's behalf (including for websites, applications, and software products), All Webbed Up may commit to provider contracts, infrastructure costs, and technical arrangements on an annual or multi-year basis on the Client's behalf. If the Client cancels these services before the agreed term is complete, an early termination fee may apply reflecting the costs already committed. This fee covers not only the underlying infrastructure costs but also the labour involved in safely migrating data, transferring credentials, closing accounts, and ensuring continuity of the Client's digital assets. The applicable fee will be communicated to the Client at the time of any such cancellation request and will not exceed 12 months of the applicable service fee.

- (b)All Webbed Up is prohibited from undertaking any action that prejudices the Client's rights to its Intellectual Property except as necessary or desirable for the performance of the Services.

13.4 Waiver
No failure or delay by All Webbed Up in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will impair the same or operate as a waiver of the same, nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege preclude any further exercise of the same or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
13.5 Agency, Partnership etc.
This Agreement will not constitute or imply any partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary relationship, or other relationship between the Parties other than the contractual relationship expressly provided for in this Agreement. Neither Party will have, nor represent that it has, any authority to make any commitments on the other Party's behalf.
13.6 Further Assurance
Each Party to this Agreement must at the request and expense of the other do all things reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement or to make it easier to enforce.
13.7 Severance

A breach of this clause entitles All Webbed Up to seek damages from the Client, which may include recruitment costs, lost productivity, retraining costs, and any other losses flowing from the breach.

All Webbed Up will make reasonable efforts to deliver within the agreed timeframe, however timelines may be affected by the complexity of requirements, client response times, third party dependencies, and unforeseen technical challenges.

Development Work may incorporate third party libraries, frameworks, APIs, plugins, or other software components. The Client acknowledges that such components are subject to their own licence terms and that All Webbed Up accepts no liability for any changes, discontinuation, or licence breaches arising from third party components.
