TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. TERMS OF SERVICE

Stylofuze provides digital media services, storefront assets, and custom design solutions subject to the following foundational terms.

  • 1.1 Binding Agreement: By accessing or using the Stylofuze website, purchasing any storefront products, or engaging our creative services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our website, products, or services.

  • 1.2 Contractual Relationship and Order of Precedence: These Terms apply to all transactions, engagements, and use of Stylofuze services unless expressly modified by a separate written agreement. Where a distinct service contract, custom project brief, or Statement of Work (“SOW”) has been formally executed in writing by an authorised representative of Stylofuze and the relevant client or customer, that document will prevail only to the extent of any direct inconsistency with these Terms.All other provisions of these Terms continue to apply in full force unless expressly overridden in writing.

  • 1.3 Statutory Rights: Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any rights or remedies under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement.

2. RIGHTS OF ACCESS & USE

This section defines the rights, permissions, and restrictions applicable to users of the Stylofuze digital ecosystem.

  • 2.1 Platform Access Licence: Stylofuze grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable licence to access and use the Stylofuze website, storefront, and associated online services strictly in accordance with these Terms. This licence is provided for personal and/or internal business use only (as applicable to your purchase or engagement) and does not permit you to:

    • (a) copy, reproduce, scrape, harvest, or extract data from the website or platform;

    • (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code or underlying systems;

    • (c) resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit any part of the Stylofuze platform; or

    • (d) create derivative works based on Stylofuze platform infrastructure, systems, or proprietary materials.

Any breach of this clause may result in suspension or termination of access without notice.

  • 2.2 Client Deliverables and Commercial Usage Rights: For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in clause 2.1 apply only to Stylofuze’s platform, systems, and proprietary infrastructure, and do not apply to final deliverables created specifically for clients. Subject to full payment and unless otherwise specified in a Statement of Work (“SOW”), Stylofuze grants the client a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, display, and commercially exploit the final approved deliverables for their own business or organisational purposes. This licence does not include rights to:

    • (a) Stylofuze’s underlying templates, tools, workflows, or source files (unless expressly agreed in writing); or

    • (b) any third-party assets not explicitly assigned or licensed to the client under the applicable SOW.

  • 2.3 Scope of Application: Clauses within these Terms referring to “Clients”, project milestones, service engagements, or studio workflows apply only to users who have entered into a formal service agreement or Statement of Work (“SOW”) with Stylofuze. These provisions do not apply to general website users, storefront customers, or visitors accessing the platform on a non-contractual basis, except where explicitly stated.

3. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

This section defines the legal validity and operational parameters of digital interactions between Stylofuze and its Customers and Clients:

  • 3.1 Consent to Electronic Interaction: When you utilise any services offered by Stylofuze or transmit communications to us via email, text messages, website portals, or digital chat systems from your mobile or desktop device, you are actively engaging in electronic communication with us.

  • 3.2 Delivery Channels: Stylofuze may communicate with you electronically through various operational methods, including but not limited to email, SMS text messages, platform-based notifications, or by publishing notices directly on the website or through our associated service pipelines.

  • 3.3 Statutory Written Validity: In accordance with the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth), you explicitly acknowledge and agree that all electronic notices, disclosures, agreements, and communications sent to you by Stylofuze satisfy any statutory or legal requirement that such communications be executed in writing.

​4. CONDITIONS OF SALE & THE STOREFRONT CONTRACT

These conditions govern the purchase of digital assets, physical goods, and standard media services acquired directly through the Stylofuze online store.

  • 4.1 Contract Formation: These Conditions of Sale apply only to products and services sold directly by Stylofuze. They do not apply to any third-party vendor listings or transactions conducted via the Stylofuze platform. By placing an order, you make an offer to purchase the selected product or service in accordance with these Terms. Stylofuze will acknowledge receipt of your order via an automated Order Confirmation email or notification. An Order Confirmation does not constitute acceptance of your offer.

  • 4.2 Acceptance and Dispatch: A contract of sale is formed only when Stylofuze accepts your order by dispatching or delivering the product or digital asset, confirmed by a Dispatch Confirmation email or equivalent notification. Where an order is fulfilled in stages or partial deliveries, each dispatched stage constitutes a separate contract of sale for the relevant portion of the order.

  • 4.3 Condition Framework for Storefront Goods (Physical and Digital):

    • (a) Pre-Owned, Vintage, and Antique Goods: Where goods are described as pre-owned, vintage, antique, or similar, the Customer acknowledges that such items may exhibit wear, aging, cosmetic imperfections, or manufacturing variations consistent with their age and prior use. Stylofuze will take reasonable steps to accurately describe and visually represent the condition of such items prior to sale.

    • (b) Digital Goods and Assets: Digital goods are supplied in accordance with the specifications, formats, and compatibility requirements stated in the relevant product listing, including applicable software versions and system requirements.

    • (c) System Compatibility: It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that their hardware, operating system, and software environment meet the stated compatibility requirements prior to purchase. Stylofuze does not warrant performance or compatibility on unsupported, modified, outdated, or unauthorised (“cracked”) software environments.

    • (d) Australian Consumer Law – Condition Assessment: Nothing in this clause is intended to exclude or limit any rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. For the purposes of assessing “acceptable quality” under the Australian Consumer Law, regard will be had to the product description, price, and disclosures made prior to purchase. To the extent permitted by law, no claim will be accepted where a perceived issue arises solely from:

      • (i) disclosed wear, cosmetic aging, or listed defects in pre-owned, vintage, or antique goods; or

      • (ii) failure by the Customer to meet stated system requirements, user error, or lack of compatible or licensed software.

  • 4.4 Household Quantities: Physical storefront products are intended for personal or household use. Stylofuze reserves the right to limit, refuse, or cancel orders that exceed reasonable household quantities or appear to be placed for resale purposes.

5. PRICING & AVAILABILITY

Stylofuze manages storefront inventory and commercial transactions in compliance with Australian pricing transparency standards:

  • 5.1 Tax and Currency Framework: All prices displayed across the Stylofuze website, digital storefront, or custom project quotes are listed strictly in Australian Dollars (AUD). As Stylofuze is not registered for Goods and Services Tax (GST) under Australian tax law, all stated prices are flat rates and do not include a GST component. No GST will be charged or collected at checkout, and all issued commercial receipts or invoices will be marked accordingly to reflect that GST has not been applied.

  • 5.2 Full-Service Payment Terms: REDEFINE | Full-Service projects are completed under a split-payment milestone framework. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a non-refundable 50% commencement payment is required before studio production begins. The remaining 50% balance is payable only upon completion of the project and prior to the release of final unwatermarked deliverables. If the Client chooses not to proceed after reviewing the completed project, the outstanding balance is not payable and the final deliverables will not be released. The initial 50% commencement payment remains non-refundable as it covers studio time, creative development, and production costs already incurred.

  • 5.3 Core to Full-Service Upgrade Credits: Stylofuze's upgrade policy ensures Customers do not pay twice for the same image. Where a Customer upgrades an image from the Core Service to REDEFINE | Full-Service, the amount originally paid for that specific Core image will be credited toward its corresponding Full-Service upgrade quote.

    • (a) Per-Image Application: Upgrade credits are calculated and applied on a 1:1 per-image basis. Credits apply only to the image being upgraded and cannot be transferred, pooled, or combined with credits from other images.

    • (b) Credit Limitations: Upgrade credits have no cash value, are non-refundable, cannot be exchanged for store credit, and cannot be redeemed independently of a corresponding Full-Service upgrade.

  • 5.4 Stock and Service Availability Disclosures: Stylofuze provides real-time availability details for storefront digital assets and physical items on their respective listing pages:

    • (a) Checkout Availability Failures: If a technical inventory error occurs at checkout—such as two customers simultaneously purchasing a one-of-a-kind vintage item, or an asset file becoming temporarily unavailable before transmission—Stylofuze reserves the right to cancel the unfulfillable transaction. You will be notified as soon as practicable via email, the transaction will be cancelled, and a full refund will be issued immediately.

    • (b) Ongoing Custom Services Distinction: For the avoidance of doubt, this clause applies strictly to initial checkout availability and does not permit the arbitrary cancellation or stoppage of an active custom project or specialised creative service once studio production has officially commenced under an agreed milestone framework.

  • 5.5 Pricing Errors and Adjustments: While Stylofuze strives for absolute accuracy across all storefront catalogues and custom quotes, pricing discrepancies may occasionally occur due to administrative oversight or platform technical errors:

    • (a) Rectification and Right to Cancel: If Stylofuze discovers that a storefront item, digital asset, or service booking has been inadvertently listed or quoted at an incorrect underpriced rate, Stylofuze is under no legal obligation to fulfill the transaction at that incorrect price.

    • (b) Resolution Protocol: In the event of a prominent pricing error, Stylofuze reserves the absolute right to cancel the affected order immediately, halt delivery or access, and issue a full refund. We will notify you as soon as practicable to confirm whether you wish to re-purchase the product or service at the correct retail price or leave the transaction cancelled.

6. PRODUCT INFORMATION, MEDIA, & APPAREL VARIATIONS

This section sets out the parameters governing product descriptions, digital representation, and product usage expectations.

  • 6.1 Accuracy of Product Descriptions: Unless expressly stated otherwise, Stylofuze is not the manufacturer of third-party, mass-produced merchandise or pre-owned products sold via its website. While Stylofuze takes reasonable care to ensure product descriptions, specifications, sizing information, and imagery are accurate, minor variations in colour, texture, packaging, or finish may occur between online listings and the physical product received. Product information is provided for general informational purposes only. To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability is limited to remedies available under applicable consumer guarantees, including those under the Australian Consumer Law, and Stylofuze’s applicable returns policy. Customers are encouraged not to rely solely on website descriptions and to review all labels, measurements, warnings, and manufacturer instructions provided with the product prior to use.

  • 6.2 Digital Representation and Visual Variations: Stylofuze makes reasonable efforts to accurately display the colours, textures, and visual characteristics of its merchandise, apparel, and pre-owned inventory. However, actual colours and appearance may vary depending on device type, screen calibration, lighting conditions, and other technical factors outside Stylofuze’s control. Accordingly, Stylofuze does not guarantee that on-screen representations will exactly match the physical product. Minor visual variations caused by display differences do not, of themselves, indicate a fault or failure to meet description, to the extent permitted by the Australian Consumer Law.

  • 6.3 Sizing Disclosures and Intended Use:

    • (a) Garment and Material Specifications: All apparel and textile products are supplied in accordance with the sizing charts, measurements, and material descriptions provided in their respective listings. Customers are responsible for reviewing sizing information prior to purchase. Minor manufacturing tolerances in stitching, sizing, or production variation are normal in apparel manufacturing and will not automatically constitute a product defect under applicable consumer laws.

    • (b) Intended Use Disclaimer: All merchandise, apparel, art prints, and lifestyle products supplied by Stylofuze are intended for general consumer, aesthetic, or decorative use only. Nothing in these Terms is intended to suggest that products are medical, therapeutic, or protective in nature, and they are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

7. SHIPPING, DELIVERY & INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS

This section outlines the shipping, delivery, customs, and regulatory responsibilities applicable to physical products purchased through Stylofuze, including domestic and international shipments.

  • 7.1 Shipping Rates, Delivery Methods and Promotional Offers: Shipping fees, available delivery methods, and promotional shipping offers, including free shipping thresholds, are displayed on the Stylofuze website, product listings, checkout pages, or relevant promotional materials. Unless otherwise stated, shipping offers may be modified or withdrawn from time to time.

  • 7.2 Delivery Estimates and Dispatch: Estimated delivery timeframes are provided as guidance only and begin once an order has been dispatched. Delivery timeframes may vary due to carrier delays, public holidays, weather events, peak demand periods, customs processing, or circumstances outside Stylofuze's reasonable control.

  • 7.3 Customer Delivery Responsibilities: Customers are responsible for ensuring all delivery details provided at checkout are accurate and complete, including recipient name, delivery address, and relevant contact information. Stylofuze is not responsible for delays, failed delivery attempts, returned shipments, or additional costs arising from incorrect or incomplete delivery information supplied by the Customer.

  • 7.4 Import Duties and Taxes: If you place an order with Stylofuze for delivery outside Australia, your order may be subject to import duties, customs tariffs, and local taxes imposed by the destination country upon arrival. All such charges are the responsibility of the Customer and are not included in the purchase price unless expressly stated otherwise. Stylofuze has no control over, and cannot predict, the application, assessment, or amount of these charges, as they are determined by the relevant customs authorities in the destination country.

  • 7.5 Importer of Record: For international shipments, the Customer acts as the Importer of Record and is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, import regulations, and customs requirements of the destination country. Stylofuze is not responsible for delays, seizures, refused entry, or destruction of goods resulting from failure to comply with local import requirements.

  • 7.6 Customs Inspection and Disclosure: International shipments may be subject to inspection, opening, and review by customs or border protection authorities as required by law. To facilitate international delivery and customs clearance, Stylofuze may be required to provide shipping documentation, including commercial invoices that disclose order contents and declared values, to carriers and relevant authorities. Stylofuze does not control and is not responsible for the actions, decisions, delays, or requirements imposed by customs authorities or border agencies in any jurisdiction.

8. CANCELLATION, PRODUCTS, & RETURNS POLICIES

This section outlines your rights regarding order modifications, returns, and refunds for physical merchandise, digital storefront assets, and custom design services:

  • 8.1 Right to Cancel and Order Modification:

    • (a) Physical Merchandise: The Client or Customer retains the right to cancel or modify an order for physical goods at any point before Stylofuze issues a formal dispatch or tracking notification. All cancellation or modification requests must be submitted directly to Stylofuze customer support via email or our designated platform contact channels. Once a tracking identifier or dispatch confirmation has been generated, the transaction is finalised and cannot be altered or recalled.

    • (b) Digital Goods and Custom Image Services: For instant digital assets or specialised creative services (including REDEFINE | Full-Service projects), cancellation rights are governed strictly by the asset delivery status and milestone frameworks detailed in clause 8.2 and Section 25 (Entire Agreement and Client Obligations).

  • 8.2 Digital Goods Exceptions: In accordance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) guidelines regarding non-physical and digital supplies, a right of cancellation, return, or "change of mind" refund does not apply to:

    • (a) Digital products, downloadable assets, templates, presets, software licences, or digital tools purchased directly from the Stylofuze storefront once the download link has been clicked, accessed, or delivered via automated email. Because digital items cannot be physically returned, verified as deleted, or restocked, all sales of downloadable digital content are final.

    • (b) Digital content, streams, or automated tool access where delivery or download has commenced with your express consent at checkout.

  • 8.3 Returns Policy for Physical Merchandise (Standard, Dropshipped, and Vintage Goods):

    • (a) Standard and Dropshipped Physical Merchandise: For brand-new, mass-produced tangible products or commercial merchandise sold through the Stylofuze platform—whether fulfilled internally from our own inventory or routed via our designated third-party dropshipping, manufacturing-on-demand, or print-on-demand distribution networks—you are entitled to return unopened and unused items in their original packaging within thirty (30) days of delivery receipt for a full refund of the purchase price. Shipping costs for change-of-mind returns are the sole responsibility of the Customer. Items showing visible signs of wear, unboxing, broken seals, or modifications will not be accepted.

    • (b) Rare, Collectable, and "Sold As-Is" Inventory: Collectable, vintage, antique, pre-owned, or rare items (including unique physical archive prints and vintage goods) are strictly categorised as "Sold As-Is". Due to the unique nature, age, and historical value of these items, they are completely excluded from our 30-day change-of-mind return policy. All sales of these unique and rare goods are final.

    • (c) Condition Acknowledgement and Inspection Limits: By purchasing any item from our vintage, pre-owned, or antiquarian collections, you explicitly acknowledge that the item is second-hand, older, or used, has not received professional or certified appraisal, and is sold strictly "as-is". Stylofuze makes no claims regarding certified historical grading. While Stylofuze documents prominent, visible physical wear or damage via the item's storefront description and images, these items have not been exhaustively inspected down to every individual micro-detail. The Customer accepts the inherent risk of undisclosed natural ageing, wear, or minor interior defects typical of pre-owned items. A consumer remedy under the ACL will only be issued if the item exhibits a major undisclosed failure that fundamentally contradicts the specific visible descriptions and photos provided at checkout.

  • 8.4 Custom Image Services Framework: Custom image editing, design modifications, and collaborative creative packages are classified legally as Services under the ACL:

    • (a) Because services consume technical labour, booking time, and operational drafting hours, they cannot be physically returned.

    • (b) Service cancellation, Client dissatisfaction, project exits, and deposit allocations are governed exclusively by the structured milestone frameworks explicitly outlined in Section 25 (Entire Agreement and Client Obligations).

  • 8.5 Statutory Consumer Guarantees (ACCC Compliance): Nothing in these Terms of Service operates to exclude, restrict, or modify any statutory Consumer Guarantees or remedies automatically granted to you under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

    • (a) If a physical or digital product suffers from a Major Failure (e.g., a physical item arrives broken, a dropshipped item possesses a severe manufacturing misprint, a digital asset file is corrupt and unopenable, or the item is fundamentally different from its advertised description), you are legally entitled to a replacement or a full refund.

    • (b) For minor faults with physical or digital goods, Stylofuze reserves the right to provide a remedy by repairing the fault, sending a replacement file/item, or issuing a store credit at our sole discretion.

9. SERVICES ALTERATION, DELIVERY LINKS, AND MAINTENANCE

Stylofuze maintains operational and data management procedures designed to support platform security, storage efficiency, and system performance.

  • 9.1 Platform Modifications and Maintenance: Stylofuze may, from time to time, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature, tool, or component of its website, storefront, or digital systems as part of routine operations, maintenance, security updates, or system improvements. Access to certain features or services may be temporarily unavailable or limited during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, infrastructure updates, or technical disruptions. Where reasonably practicable, Stylofuze will take steps to minimise disruption to active services.

  • 9.2 Link Expiry – Uploads, Downloads, and Previews: For security and storage management purposes, digital links issued by Stylofuze (including upload portals, download links, and preview or proofing galleries) may be time-limited. Unless otherwise stated, such links will expire seven (7) calendar days after issuance. This period runs continuously and includes weekends and public holidays.

  • 9.3 File Responsibility and Re-Issuance: It is the responsibility of the Client or Customer to download, access, or upload relevant files within the stated link validity period. After expiry, links may no longer be accessible and cannot be automatically extended. Where a link has expired, the Client or Customer may request re-issuance. Any re-generation of links or retrieval of archived files is subject to reasonable availability and may incur an administrative or handling fee, where permitted by law. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits any rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

10. PERSONAL GUARANTEE AND SERVICE SUSPENSION

Where the Client is an incorporated entity, company, or partnership, Stylofuze may require the executing individual to provide payment assurance for services rendered.

  • 10.1 Personal Guarantee: If the Client is a company or partnership, the individual executing or accepting the project contract on behalf of the Client (“the Signatory”) personally guarantees the due and punctual payment of all fees owed under the agreement. The Signatory agrees to indemnify Stylofuze against any direct loss arising from the Client’s failure to pay valid invoices issued under the contract.

  • 10.2 Authority to Bind: The Signatory represents and warrants that they have the necessary authority to enter into and bind the Client to the agreement on its behalf.

  • 10.3 Suspension for Non-Payment: If any invoice or milestone payment remains unpaid past its due date, Stylofuze may suspend or pause services, including access to ongoing work or delivery pipelines. Prior to suspension, Stylofuze will provide written notice of the overdue payment and allow seven (7) days from the date of notice for the outstanding amount to be paid in full. If payment is not received within this period, Stylofuze may suspend services until all outstanding amounts are settled.

  • 10.4 Continuing Effect of Guarantee: The obligations under this clause, including any personal guarantee and indemnity, survive termination of the agreement and remain in effect until all outstanding amounts owed to Stylofuze are paid in full.

11. THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS, APPLICATIONS, AND SUPPORT

Stylofuze may integrate or rely on third-party software, platforms, and infrastructure to deliver its services. The following terms apply to such third-party systems.

  • 11.1 Independent Software Providers: It is acknowledged that third-party applications, software frameworks, and cloud hosting services are developed, owned, and operated by independent third-party providers. All intellectual property rights in such systems remain with their respective owners, and use of those systems is subject to the relevant third-party terms and conditions.

  • 11.2 Third-Party Outages and System Issues: Stylofuze is not responsible for delays, interruptions, errors, or failures caused by third-party software, hosting providers, or external network infrastructure. Where reasonably practicable, Stylofuze may provide assistance in identifying or diagnosing such issues; however, any such assistance is provided on a reasonable efforts basis and does not create an obligation to resolve issues outside Stylofuze’s control.

  • 11.3 Client Accounts and Vendor Relationships: The Client or Customer is responsible for maintaining valid accounts, licences, and subscriptions required for any third-party platforms necessary for service delivery (including but not limited to hosting, cloud storage, and software tools). Stylofuze may request confirmation of access or active subscriptions to relevant third-party services where required for project delivery.

  • 11.4 Third-Party Troubleshooting Limitations: Where a technical issue is reasonably suspected to originate from a third-party system or service, Stylofuze is not obligated to engage directly with that third-party provider on the Client’s behalf. In such cases, the Client or Customer is responsible for contacting the relevant third-party provider’s support services. Stylofuze may, at its discretion, provide guidance or assist in troubleshooting where appropriate.

  • 11.5 Third-Party Intellectual Property and Integration: Stylofuze respects the intellectual property rights of third-party software providers and will not knowingly infringe such rights. Where integration with third-party systems is agreed, Stylofuze will provide services within the scope of commercially reasonable effort and the technical limitations of the relevant platforms. All third-party integrations remain subject to the terms, limitations, and availability of those external providers.

12. TERM, TERMINATION, AND PROJECT ABANDONMENT

Stylofuze operates on structured production schedules that require timely client input, approvals, and communication. Contracts are active upon project booking and are governed by the timelines and conditions set out below.

  • 12.1 Acceptance of Project Terms: A Client is deemed to have accepted a project brief, service agreement, or creative engagement by either signing the agreement or by conduct, including (without limitation) payment of fees, submission of briefs, or provision of project materials.

  • 12.2 Termination for Cause: Either party may terminate an active contract by written notice if:

    • (a) the other party fails to remedy a material breach within seven (7) days of receiving written notice of that breach; or

    • (b) the other party becomes insolvent, enters liquidation or administration, or is otherwise subject to external control by a receiver or similar authority.

Termination under this clause does not affect any accrued rights or obligations up to the date of termination.

  • 12.3 Project Delay and Client Inactivity: Where a project is delayed due to the Client’s failure to provide required materials, feedback, approvals, or access, the following process applies unless otherwise agreed in a Statement of Work (“SOW”) or project brief:

    • (a) Seven (7) Day Inactivity Hold: If the Client does not provide required inputs for seven (7) consecutive days, the project may be placed on hold. Reactivation may require the Client to be rescheduled into the production queue, and Stylofuze may charge a reasonable administrative or rebooking fee.

    • (b) Fourteen (14) Day Inactivity – Project Closure: If inactivity continues for fourteen (14) consecutive days, the project may be deemed abandoned. Stylofuze may issue a final notice requesting response within twenty-four (24) hours. If no response is received, the project may be closed.

    • (c) Financial Treatment Upon Closure: Where a project is closed due to abandonment:

      • (i) For Core Services (upfront payment): amounts paid are retained to the extent they relate to work performed, time reserved, and administrative costs incurred up to the point of closure; and

      • (ii) For Full-Service Projects (split payment): the initial deposit may be retained to the extent permitted by law, reflecting reserved studio time and work already undertaken.

  • 12.4 Release of Deliverables: Upon project closure due to abandonment, Stylofuze is not obligated to continue production or deliver incomplete, interim, or unfinalised assets unless otherwise agreed in writing. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits any rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & BRAND PROTECTION

This section outlines the ownership, permitted use, and restrictions relating to Stylofuze intellectual property, brand assets, and proprietary content systems.

  • 13.1 Trade Marks and Brand Protection: This section protects the visual identity and proprietary brand elements of Stylofuze under the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth):

    • (a) Ownership of Trade Dress: All logos, branding elements, graphics, page layouts, icons, service names, and other distinctive visual identifiers displayed on or through the website are the property of Stylofuze and/or its licensors and are protected under applicable intellectual property laws.

    • (b) Unauthorised Use: You must not use Stylofuze trade marks, trade dress, or branding in connection with any product, service, or activity that is not authorised by Stylofuze or that may:

      • (i) create confusion as to affiliation or endorsement;

      • (ii) misrepresent a relationship with Stylofuze; or

      • (ii) dilute or damage the reputation of the Stylofuze brand.

    • (c) Third-Party Marks: All third-party trade marks appearing on the platform remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only. Their appearance does not imply affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship unless expressly stated.

      • (i) You must not frame, mirror, or otherwise embed Stylofuze content within another website without prior written consent.

      • (ii) You must not use Stylofuze trade marks or brand terms in hidden text, metadata, or search engine optimisation techniques intended to mislead or manipulate search indexing.

    • (e) Social Media Use: Nothing in this clause restricts good-faith social media tagging, sharing, or commentary referencing Stylofuze in a lawful and non-misleading manner.

  • 13.2 Copyright and Other Rights:

    • (a) Ownership of Content: All content made available through Stylofuze services, including but not limited to graphics, images, logos, digital downloads, text, and compilations, is owned by Stylofuze, its licensors, or third-party suppliers and is protected under applicable copyright and database laws.

    • (d) AI and Machine Learning Use: You must not use Stylofuze content, assets, or materials for the purpose of training artificial intelligence or machine learning systems without a separate written licence. For clarity, standard commercial use of purchased deliverables does not include AI training rights unless expressly agreed in writing.

    • (e) Database Restrictions: You must not compile, reproduce, or publish a database that contains substantial parts of Stylofuze content without prior written consent.

  • 13.3 Internal Intellectual Property:

    • (a) Platform and System Ownership: Stylofuze retains ownership of all intellectual property rights in its platform, software, workflows, systems, tools, and internal methodologies used to deliver services.

    • (b) Retained Rights: All internal processes, templates, software logic, design systems, and production workflows developed or used by Stylofuze remain the exclusive property of Stylofuze.

    • (c) Deliverable Distinction: For clarity, this clause applies only to Stylofuze’s internal systems and does not affect ownership or usage rights granted to clients in final deliverables, as set out in clause 2.2 (Commercial Use of Client Deliverables).
