All fees and costs incurred and paid by the client prior to notification of cancellation are non-refundable. Parsons Design reserves the right to cancel or refuse service at any time at our own discretion.

Timeframe Completion

Clients understand and acknowledge that Parsons Design makes no guarantee of a timeframe for completion of any project. Parsons Design endeavours to complete every project in a reasonable and timely manner. Due to the variable nature of every project, including the necessity for communication between parties for content and design approval, project complexity, content updates, financial considerations, and other extenuating circumstances, we deem it inappropriate to set hard deadlines on projects unless otherwise specified. Parsons Design will make every effort to communicate with clients and address any concerns you may have about project completion.

Information Privacy

Parsons Design makes every effort to effectively safeguard your personal information and privacy. For more information about Parsons Design’s stance with regards to privacy and information collection, please read our detailed privacy policy.

This includes highlighting the clients through a client portfolio and using examples and pictures off client websites for advertising purposes.

Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall Parsons Design, its employees, agents, directors, or affiliates be held liable to clients for any damages incurred. These include, without limitation, direct loss, indirect loss, incidental damages, loss of business or profits, damage to computers, systems or software, and any other consequential damages arising as a result of the use or inability to use Parsons Design services and content.

Parsons Design takes no responsibility for copyright infringement resulting from content or material that was submitted or otherwise provided by clients. Parsons Design retains the right to refuse any material that is knowingly copyrighted or trademarked unless sufficient evidence is demonstrated that permission has been granted to use such material. We reserve the right to refuse the submission of any content, regardless of legal ownership, at our sole discretion.

Parsons Design websites may include typographical, technical, or visual content errors. Parsons Design does not guarantee that website material is necessarily accurate, complete, or current. Parsons Design may make changes to website material at any given time without prior notice.

The aforementioned limitations apply only as far as the law permits. As some jurisdictions do not allow for limitations on consequential and incidental damages these limitations may not necessarily apply to you.

Force Majeure events must be external, unpredictable, and irresistible. Such events include, but are not limited to: war, terrorism, political upheaval, natural disasters, riots, insurrections, labour crises, hostilities, government sanctions, embargoes, and other Acts of God. Parties affected by such an event shall inform the other party as promptly as possible of the circumstances and existence of the issue and make every reasonable attempt to minimize the effects of the event as it relates to the relevant terms and conditions.
