Terms & Conditions
By using Launch By Monday, the Client agrees, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by and to comply with these Terms & Conditions.
By signing this agreement, you (“Client”) agree to retain Lollipop Creative Studio (“Service Provider”) to proceed with branding & design services for a 6-hour intensive, packaged under VIP Design Intensive , and agree to the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.
During this intensive, Service Provider agrees to devote 6 hours on assignments to be determined by Client, as well as a 30-minute pre-intensive strategy call, 1 hour for post-intensive “fix” support and 30 days of post-intensive email support. 30 days of post-intensive email and messaging support. Work will be performed at the offices of the Service Provider, but occasionally may take place at other locations, as required. Work priority and scheduling will be at the discretion of the Client. Work will normally occur between the hours of 9:00 am – 3:00 pm AEST on weekdays.
Payment for these services will be to Service Provider at the rate of $1600 and a 50% the deposit will be required to secure the booking. The remaining balance must be paid at least 24 hours prior of the appointment date. Alternatively, the client may choose to pay the full amount upon booking.
Design services in addition to the intensive will be made available by Service Provider at the current daily or half-date rate, and will be billed separately. Any expenses exclusive of normal overhead are not included in this agreement and will be billed separately. Examples of such expenses are: stock images, premium font licenses, web hosting and 3rd party application services.
As a bonus to the all-day intensive, you will also receive 30 days of support following our intensive, starting with the day after the intensive. You will be able to email or message me with any questions or concerns you have about the work that was performed during our intensive, and you will receive a reply via email, message or video tutorials.
This support does not cover additional design or website work that exceeds what was done in our day together. If you have additional work that needs to be performed, you will have the option to book another day or a half-day intensive.
Rescheduling & Cancellation
Your payment secures the slot in my calendar and allows me to give you my undivided attention. This also means I can’t take other work. No refunds are available from the time of booking. Additionally, no refunds are considered during or after the project period.
As a one time courtesy, you can reschedule your VIP Day at least 7 days prior with written notice. The new date needs to fall within the 90-day timeframe of your purchase. If you need to change your design date after the 7 day period, or after you have rescheduled once, we still love you! However, we charge a 25% rescheduling fee of the current price at the time of the rescheduling.
We reserve the right to deem the current project canceled if you don’t reschedule your day within 2 weeks after the cancellation and you will be required to rebook a new day at full price & a new contract.

If you would prefer to stay anonymous or if you prefer us to hold until you launch, please let us know and we would be happy to comply.
Development
We develop websites that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create them iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS. You’ll have one opportunity to review our work and provide feedback on a development site within the development stage of the project.
You will have a day to o review and give feedback on text, images and colours. If you have not provided feedbacks within your Done for you Day, we will move on to the next project phase and launch your website.
Text content
For copywriting, all pages except the home page have a maximum word count of 500 words.
Text content must be supplied by you through the online form, we will endeavour to design the placing of the content appropriately for the website. However, we do not guarantee the quality of the content.
Graphics and photographs
You should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format. You should provide photos in a high-resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like us to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate.
Browser Testing
Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.
We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers, including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Edge), Mozilla Firefox and Opera. We will not test in other older browsers unless we agreed separately. If you need an enhanced design for an older browser, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
HTML, CSS and JavaScript
We deliver pages developed from HTML mark-up, CSS stylesheets for styling and unobtrusive JavaScript for behaviours.
Mobile browser testing
Testing using popular smaller screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using. We test our sites in:
iOS: Safari and Google Chrome
We will not test in Android: Google Chrome, Opera Mini/Mobile, specific Android devices, or other mobile browsers unless we agreed separately. If you need us to test using these, we can provide a separate estimate.
Support
All subscriptions include access to support via the support portal. “Support” means the ability to make requests for technical support assistance via the support portal with reasonable efforts to respond within 2-3 business days.
The number of support requests will be determined by the subscription plan you have chosen, a “Support Ticket” is a single request that requires Launch By Monday to alter, change or maintain your website over and above standard maintenance schedules.
A support ticket may not require additional work in excess of 30 minutes in duration, if your website, through no fault of Launch By Monday, requires additional design or development that will exceed 30 minutes in duration, we will provide a separate estimate for this.
Technical Support
You may already have professional hosting and you might even manage that hosting in-house; if you do, great. If you don’t, we can set up an account for you at on one of our hosting servers. Unless you are hosting your website with us, we don’t offer support for website hosting, email or other services relating to your external hosting. We will set up your site on a server, then, the updates to, and management of that server will be up to you. We can provide an estimate for this.
Third Party Plugin/Extension Licenses & Support for Websites
When developing your website it is likely we will need to utilise 3rd party plugins to achieve the desired functionality.
We maintain a library of premium plugin/extension licenses for use exclusively with our client projects. If a premium 3rd party plugin is required for your project is in our library, we will issue a license from our library. Lollipop Creative Studio owns the licenses for these plugins/extensions that we provide in a site build unless otherwise stated, until such time as we are no longer in business or that the license is no longer valid.
As long as you sign up with our care plan we will keep these premium plugins updated. If they are not in our care plan, it is your responsibility to obtain your own licenses. The existing project will remain intact but outdated software and plugin might affect your website’s load time, downtime and security without the updates.
We will make every effort to offer support for any premium plugin/extension issued from our library. You understand that support for these plugins/extensions is provided via the plugin/extension developers, and as such, we are subject to their support response times when attempting to resolve plugin/extension related issues.
We do not provide additional website support beyond these premium plugins unless the client is actively on one of our WP hosting/care plans.
Search engine optimisation (SEO)
We don’t guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking, but the pages that we develop are accessible to search engines. If you’d like us to work on increasing your ranking, we will provide a separate estimate for this.
Speed Optimisation
We will do everything to make sure your website functions at high speed with a GT-Metrix Score of C or higher. This involves image compression and resizing, caching of files and limiting server requests to increase load times.
Hosting
We work with a recommended website hosting company and therefore offer support for your website hosting, we’re not an IT service provider, so we don’t provide support for email or other services relating to hosting. We will host your website on our preferred hosting provider with ongoing support and maintenance.
Hosting is limited to your website and website content; no additional media will be hosted on the web servers. Maximum usage limits apply.
Domain
Access to the DNS of your domain is required for domain transfer and configuring where this points to.
If you do not have a domain, we can purchase one for you and you will be invoiced separately, you will need to make sure you notify us on the domain you would like and make sure it is available to purchase.
SSL Certificate
SSL certificate is allocated to your website only, no configuration of third-party servers, apps or web platforms.
CRM & Booking System Integrations
Our website CRM & Booking System integration products are created with the assumption that you will be setting this up on your own with our third-party plugin system. We don’t customise or provide additional features from our booking platform, and provide this for our Launch By Monday customers as it is.
