In these Terms and Conditions:
These Terms and Conditions govern all engagements between For Purpose Digital and the Client. By signing a Service Agreement, paying an invoice, or otherwise instructing For Purpose Digital to commence services, the Client agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
Where there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and a signed Service Agreement, the Service Agreement prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.
For Purpose Digital may update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Clients will be notified of material changes in writing. Continued engagement after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Changes do not affect the fees, Agreed Actions, or guarantee terms of an engagement already under way.
For Purpose Digital provides the following categories of services to Australian charities and not-for-profit organisations:
The specific services, scope, and deliverables applicable to each engagement are set out in the relevant Service Agreement. For Purpose Digital will provide the services with reasonable care and skill.
Work outside the scope set out in the Service Agreement is quoted separately. That work does not commence until the Client approves the quote in writing.
For Purpose Digital does not provide website SEO, website development, design, or hosting. Where a website change is needed to make an action countable, For Purpose Digital recommends the change and the Client's own team or supplier implements it.
For Purpose Digital does not guarantee specific search engine rankings or advertising results, except as expressly stated in a written performance guarantee forming part of a Service Agreement. As set out in clause 6, those guarantees operate on the terms stated in the relevant Service Agreement.
For Purpose Digital may decline to provide services to any organisation at its discretion. This includes where the proposed engagement is outside the scope of services offered, or where the organisation does not meet the eligibility criteria for a particular service.
Fees for one-off services (including one-off Google Business Profile optimisation engagements) are payable in full before commencement of work. For Purpose Digital will not begin the engagement until payment has been received and cleared.
Where a Service Agreement includes a setup fee followed by a monthly retainer, the setup fee is invoiced in two equal instalments.
The first instalment of 50% is invoiced on acceptance of the Service Agreement. Payment is due 7 days from the date of invoice. Work commences once that payment has cleared.
The second instalment of 50% is invoiced 14 days after the first instalment. Payment is due 7 days from the date of invoice.
Monthly retainer fees are invoiced in advance. Payment is due 7 days from the date of invoice.
Where the engagement includes a setup phase, the first monthly retainer invoice is issued on the Go Live Date. Subsequent retainer invoices are issued on the same date of each following month.
No monthly retainer fee is charged during the setup phase.
Payment methods accepted are bank transfer or credit card via Stripe. Invoices are due 7 days from the date of invoice unless the Service Agreement specifies otherwise.
If an invoice remains unpaid for more than 14 days after the due date, For Purpose Digital may suspend services until payment is received. For Purpose Digital will give written notice before suspending services. Where services are suspended for non-payment, the Guarantee Period is extended by the length of the suspension.
All fees are stated in Australian dollars and are exclusive of GST. GST is added at the applicable rate and shown separately on the tax invoice. For Purpose Digital will provide a valid tax invoice for all payments.
For Purpose Digital may adjust its fees for ongoing retainer services with 30 days written notice to the Client. Fees for an engagement inside its Minimum Term are fixed for that term.
If the Client does not agree to a fee change taking effect after the Minimum Term, they may terminate the engagement under clause 11 within that 30 day notice period.
The Client agrees to:
Where a Service Agreement includes a written performance guarantee, the terms of that guarantee, including what it covers, the remedy available, and the conditions that apply, are as set out in the specific Service Agreement between For Purpose Digital and the Client.
Where these Terms and Conditions and a Service Agreement deal with the same guarantee subject matter, the Service Agreement prevails.
Upon receipt of full payment for the relevant services, all intellectual property rights in the Deliverables produced by For Purpose Digital for the Client vest in the Client. This includes audit reports, written recommendations, campaign structures, and other work product specific to the Client's engagement.
The Client grants For Purpose Digital a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use anonymised or de-identified versions of the Deliverables, results, and engagement outcomes as case studies, examples, or marketing materials, subject to the following conditions:
For Purpose Digital retains ownership of all pre-existing intellectual property, methodologies, systems, templates, and tools used in the delivery of services. The Client receives a licence to use the Deliverables but does not acquire any rights in For Purpose Digital's underlying systems or processes.
Some deliverables may incorporate or depend on third party platforms including Google. The Client's use of those platforms is subject to the relevant third party's terms of service.
Each party agrees to keep confidential all non-public information received from the other party in connection with the engagement, and not to disclose it to any third party without the other party's prior written consent, except:
This obligation of confidentiality continues for two years after the end of the engagement.
For the avoidance of doubt, For Purpose Digital may disclose that the Client is a client of For Purpose Digital and describe the general nature of the services provided, unless the Client has requested otherwise in writing.
For Purpose Digital will handle all personal information provided by the Client in accordance with its Privacy Policy, available at forpurposedigital.com.au/privacy-policy, and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Contact Lists provided by the Client for review generation purposes will be:
On request, For Purpose Digital will provide a written list of the platforms used in the Client's engagement, the data each holds, and where each stores it.
Where the Client requires that specific categories of personal information remain in Australia, this must be raised in writing before the Commencement Date. For Purpose Digital will confirm in writing whether the services can be delivered on that basis before the engagement proceeds.
Where For Purpose Digital becomes aware of unauthorised access to, unauthorised disclosure of, or loss of Client data held or controlled by For Purpose Digital, it will notify the Client in writing within 72 hours.
The notice will describe the data involved, the circumstances, and the steps taken in response. For Purpose Digital will cooperate with the Client's own assessment of the incident, including any assessment required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme in Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Each party is responsible for its own notification obligations to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and to affected individuals.
All accounts used in delivering the services remain the property of the Client. This includes Google Ads, Google for Nonprofits, Google Analytics 4, Google Business Profile, Google Search Console, and Google Tag Manager.
For Purpose Digital holds access as a manager or delegated user only. For Purpose Digital will access those accounts only for the purposes of delivering the agreed services.
Access will be removed within 14 days of the end of the engagement, or immediately on written request by the Client. On removal of access, all account data, campaign structures, and tracking configuration remain in place and available to the Client.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
The limit in this clause does not apply to a refund payable to the Client under a performance guarantee forming part of a Service Agreement. Those refunds are payable in full on the terms set out in that Service Agreement.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition, implied or imposed by any legislation that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including the Australian Consumer Law.
Where legislation implies a guarantee that cannot be excluded, For Purpose Digital's liability for breach of that guarantee is limited, to the extent permitted by law, to the resupply of the services or payment of the cost of having the services resupplied.
Monthly retainer engagements that include a setup phase carry a Minimum Term ending on the later of two dates. Either 120 days from the Commencement Date, or the last day of the Guarantee Period.
If the Client terminates before the end of the Minimum Term, all fees payable for the Minimum Term remain payable. This does not apply where the Client terminates for material breach by For Purpose Digital, or where a refund is payable under the relevant Service Agreement.
After the Minimum Term, the Client may terminate a monthly retainer engagement by giving 30 days written notice to For Purpose Digital. Notice must be given in writing to the contact details in clause 14.
Fees already paid for the current billing period are not refundable, except where a refund is payable under the relevant Service Agreement. No further fees are payable after the 30 day notice period expires.
One-off engagements cannot be cancelled once work has commenced. Where work has not yet commenced and full payment has been made, For Purpose Digital will refund the fee in full.
For Purpose Digital may terminate the engagement immediately by written notice if:
For Purpose Digital may also terminate a monthly retainer engagement for any reason by giving 30 days written notice to the Client. Where For Purpose Digital terminates for convenience inside the Minimum Term, the Client is refunded any retainer fees paid for periods after the termination date.
On termination, For Purpose Digital will provide the Client with any Deliverables completed up to the date of termination. Client access to For Purpose Digital's systems will be removed. For Purpose Digital's access to the Client's accounts will be relinquished within 14 days, in accordance with clause 9.
Clauses relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and disputes survive termination of the Agreement.
If a dispute arises between the parties in connection with the Agreement, the following process applies before either party takes formal legal action:
Nothing in this clause prevents a party from seeking urgent injunctive or other interlocutory relief from a court where necessary to protect its rights.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
These Terms and Conditions, together with the relevant Service Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior representations, negotiations, and agreements relating to the subject matter.
A failure or delay by either party to exercise any right or remedy does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy, nor does a single exercise of a right or remedy prevent further exercise of that right or remedy.
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
The Client may not assign its rights or obligations under the Agreement without For Purpose Digital's prior written consent. For Purpose Digital may assign its rights and obligations to a related entity or successor business on 30 days written notice to the Client.
Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including changes to third-party platform policies, natural disasters, or government action. The affected party must notify the other party promptly and take reasonable steps to minimise the impact.
For Purpose Digital is an independent contractor. Nothing in the Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between the parties.
All notices under these Terms and Conditions must be given in writing to:
