OURGUIDINGPOLICIES
1. Shipping and Returns/Refunds Policy
At Lyons Hub, we prioritize the efficient delivery of our digital products and services, ensuring that all clients receive high-quality service on time. As our offerings are primarily digital and service-based, our Shipping and Returns/Refunds Policy reflects this focus.
Shipping Policy
- Digital Deliverables
All digital deliverables, including design files, email templates, automation tools, and software solutions, will be delivered electronically via secure file-sharing platforms or through the client’s designated communication channels. Delivery timelines for digital products will be specified in the contract, with every effort made to meet or exceed those timelines. - Service Delivery
For ongoing services (e.g., website maintenance, content management, email marketing campaigns), services are delivered continuously, and the client will receive regular updates based on the service agreement. There are no physical shipments involved. - Delivery Confirmation
Once a deliverable has been completed and delivered, the client will receive a formal notification of delivery via email. If any issues arise or further clarification is required, clients are encouraged to reach out within a specified timeframe (usually 5 business days).
Returns/Refunds Policy
At Lyons Hub, we maintain a customer-first approach while ensuring that our policies are clear and consistent with the nature of our services. As most of our services are tailored to the individual needs of each client, refunds are not typically provided once services have been rendered or a project has commenced. However, we do offer the following terms:
- Digital Products
Due to the intangible nature of our digital services and products (e.g., website design, branding assets, email marketing templates), we do not provide refunds once the product or service has been delivered and approved. However, we stand by the quality of our work and will work collaboratively with clients to address any concerns within the agreed-upon revision periods. - Service Termination and Cancellations
If a client wishes to terminate services before the project is completed, they must notify Lyons Hub in writing. Depending on the timing of the cancellation, the client may be entitled to a partial refund of any unused portion of the deposit, less any costs already incurred by Lyons Hub.- If cancellation occurs before the start of the service, a full refund of the deposit will be issued.
- If cancellation occurs after work has commenced, no refund will be issued for work completed up to that point.
- Revisions and Modifications
We offer a set number of revisions within the scope of the project as outlined in the contract. If a client requests revisions outside of this scope, additional charges may apply, which will be communicated and agreed upon in writing. - Dispute Resolution
In the rare event that a client is dissatisfied with the services rendered, we encourage open communication to address concerns. Should a formal dispute arise, the matter will be resolved through arbitration as detailed in our Terms and Conditions, with both parties agreeing to a fair and impartial resolution process. - Non-refundable Fees
Certain fees, such as third-party licensing costs or subscription services related to digital tools and platforms, are non-refundable and will be outlined in the contract or agreement. Clients will be informed in advance of these charges.
2. Terms and Conditions and Payment Policy
Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) outline the expectations, responsibilities, and obligations of both Lyons Hub and our clients to ensure a seamless, successful engagement. By entering into a contract with Lyons Hub, you agree to the following terms:
- Scope of Services
Lyons Hub will provide services as described in the agreed-upon contract. Any changes or additions to the scope of work must be documented in writing and mutually agreed upon by both parties. Additional services outside the original scope will be subject to a new agreement or amendment. - Timeline & Deliverables
Lyons Hub will provide an estimated timeline for the completion of services. However, all timelines are subject to the client’s timely provision of necessary information, approvals, and access to required resources. Delays in client deliverables may result in delays to the overall project timeline. - Client Responsibilities
The client is responsible for providing clear instructions, timely feedback, and all necessary materials required for the successful completion of the project. Any delays caused by the client’s failure to meet these responsibilities will not extend Lyons Hub’s deadlines. - Confidentiality
Lyons Hub will maintain strict confidentiality regarding all client data, business operations, and proprietary information shared during the course of the engagement. Clients are also expected to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary information or intellectual property belonging to Lyons Hub. - Termination of Agreement
Either party may terminate the agreement with written notice if the other party breaches any terms or fails to perform duties as agreed. In the event of termination, the client agrees to pay for any services rendered up until the date of termination. All materials and deliverables will remain the property of Lyons Hub until full payment is made. - Indemnity
The client agrees to indemnify and hold Lyons Hub harmless from any claims, losses, or damages arising from the use of services provided by Lyons Hub. This includes any legal fees incurred in defending against such claims. - Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Lyons Hub operates, currently Ontario, Canada. Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the jurisdiction.
Payment Policy
Lyons Hub’s Payment Policy is designed to ensure that both parties are fairly compensated for the services rendered while maintaining transparency and mutual understanding. Our payment terms are as follows:
- Payment Structure
Payment for services is generally divided into an initial deposit and milestone-based payments, depending on the scope of work and project complexity. A deposit is required upon contract signing to initiate services, with the remaining balance due upon completion or according to the agreed-upon payment schedule. - Payment Methods
We accept a range of secure payment methods, including bank transfers, credit cards, and online payment platforms. Payment details will be provided in the final invoice, and all payments should be made in accordance with the terms outlined in the contract. - Late Payments
Payments are due by the dates specified in the contract or invoice. If payment is not received within the agreed time frame, a late fee will be applied. Interest may also be charged on overdue amounts at a rate specified in the contract or as permitted by law. Failure to make timely payments may result in suspension of services or project delays. - Refunds and Cancellations
Due to the bespoke nature of our services, refunds are generally not provided once services have commenced. In the event of cancellation before services have started, a partial refund of the deposit may be issued, subject to the terms of the contract. If cancellation occurs after services have begun, the client agrees to pay for work completed up to the cancellation date. - Invoices
Lyons Hub will issue invoices according to the agreed-upon payment schedule. Invoices will be delivered electronically, and clients are expected to review them for accuracy. Disputes regarding invoices must be raised within 5 business days of receipt. - Currency
All payments will be made in the local currency specified in the contract, which is typically CAD (Canadian Dollar), unless otherwise stated. - Additional Costs
Any additional costs not included in the initial contract, such as third-party software, licensing fees, or additional project revisions, will be outlined in a revised proposal or amendment. Clients will be notified in advance of any such charges and must approve them before proceeding.
