1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) apply to all services provided by St. Larcin Pty Ltd to you, our client. By requesting a quote, accepting an engagement, instructing us to proceed with work, or otherwise using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not engage our services.
2. Who we are
St. Larcin Pty Ltd (ABN 94 701 333 806) is a boutique professional services firm based in Perth, Western Australia. We provide tailored advisory, coordination and management support to individuals, small businesses and organisations. Our website is located at https://stlarcin.site.
3. Our services
We offer a range of boutique professional services, as described on our Services page. The specific scope, deliverables and inclusions applicable to your engagement will be set out in your written quote or engagement summary. Any work falling outside that agreed scope may be quoted separately before it is undertaken.
4. Quotes and engagements
- Quotes provided by us are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated in writing.
- A quote constitutes an offer only and does not create a binding engagement until you accept it in writing (including by email) and any required deposit has been received.
- Quotes are prepared on the basis of the information you provide. If that information is incomplete, inaccurate or changes, we may need to revise the quote.
- An engagement summary forms part of these Terms. Where there is any inconsistency between these Terms and your engagement summary, the engagement summary prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.
5. Fees, invoicing and payment
- Fees are set out in your quote and are quoted in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable.
- Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- For larger engagements, we may require a deposit or progress payments, which will be clearly stated in your quote.
- If an invoice remains unpaid beyond its due date, we reserve the right to suspend work, withhold deliverables and charge reasonable late-payment administration costs.
- Disbursements and third-party costs incurred on your behalf with your approval will be passed on at cost.
6. Cancellations and variations
If you wish to cancel or vary an engagement, please notify us in writing as soon as possible. Where work has already commenced, you remain liable for all work performed, and any costs incurred, up to the date of cancellation. Variation requests that alter the scope of an engagement may result in a revised quote, which we will provide before the varied work proceeds.
7. Your responsibilities
To enable us to deliver our services effectively, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete and timely information, documents and instructions;
- Respond to reasonable requests for feedback or approval within a reasonable time;
- Ensure you have the right to provide any materials, data or information you supply to us;
- Comply with all laws applicable to your use of our services and any deliverables.
Delays caused by a failure to meet these responsibilities may affect timeframes and, in some cases, result in additional fees.
8. Timeframes
Any timeframe or deadline we provide is an estimate given in good faith. While we work diligently to meet agreed timelines, time is not of the essence in these Terms, and we will not be liable for delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including delays in receiving information or approvals from you or third parties.
9. Intellectual property
- Upon full payment of all fees due, you own the final deliverables prepared specifically for you under the engagement.
- We retain ownership of our pre-existing materials, templates, methodologies, tools and know-how, and of all intellectual property not expressly transferred to you.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you may not resell or distribute deliverables as a competing product or service offering.
- You grant us a limited licence to use materials you provide solely for the purpose of performing the engagement.
- We may reference our work with you in general terms for portfolio purposes unless you ask us in writing not to do so.
10. Confidentiality
Each party will keep confidential all non-public information received from the other party in connection with an engagement and will not disclose it to third parties except where required by law or where the information is needed by our professional advisers, contractors or insurers who are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations. These obligations survive the completion or termination of an engagement.
11. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement is limited to the fees actually paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, including loss of profit, revenue, goodwill or data, however caused. This clause does not limit any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law, which are described in section 12 below.
12. Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), or any other applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For services, those guarantees include that services will be rendered with due care and skill, will be reasonably fit for any purpose you make known to us, and will be supplied within a reasonable time.
13. Privacy
We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and our Privacy Policy. By engaging our services, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in that policy.
14. Suspension and termination
Either party may terminate an engagement by giving written notice to the other. We may suspend or terminate an engagement immediately if you fail to pay an invoice when due, breach these Terms and do not remedy the breach within a reasonable time, or if continuing the engagement would place us in breach of the law or our professional obligations. Upon termination, you remain liable for all fees and costs incurred up to the effective date of termination.
15. Force majeure
We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where that failure or delay is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, industrial action, power or communications failures, or acts of government. Where such an event occurs, we will notify you and work with you in good faith to agree a suitable arrangement.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be published on this page together with the date of the most recent update. The Terms that apply to your engagement are those in force at the time you accept your quote, unless a later version is agreed in writing between us.
17. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia and the Commonwealth of Australia. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia.
