The plain-English version. Legal review pending.

Terms of service.

These terms govern your engagement with Compound (WeCompound Pty Ltd) for website design, build, and ongoing maintenance services.

Last updated: May 2026

Scope of work

Each engagement is defined by a written scope of work outlining tier (Foundation, Studio, or Authority), pages, calculators, integrations, timelines, and deliverables. Anything not in the scope is out of scope unless added in writing.

Payment

50% deposit on engagement, 50% on launch. All prices are ex GST. Subscription plans (Care, Compound) are billed monthly via Stripe. Cancel anytime - no lock-in.

Timelines

Timelines stated assume client review responsiveness within 48 hours per milestone. Client-side delays pause the build clock and may affect launch date. We don't penalise; we just adjust.

IP and code ownership

On full payment, you own all rights to your website code and content. The repository remains under Compound's GitHub organisation for ongoing maintenance and deployment, but you may request a complete copy of the source code at any time, delivered within 7 business days, at no additional cost.

Compound subscription cancellation

Subscription clients may cancel at any time. Upon cancellation, we provide a 30-day grace period for code handover or self-host transition. After 30 days, the site continues running on Compound infrastructure but no further updates are made. Re-onboarding requires a new agreement.

Compliance disclaimers

Compound writes broker-fluent copy referencing NCCP, BID, MFAA/FBAA, ASIC and AFCA frameworks. Final compliance review for your specific licensing context remains your responsibility. Compound is not a legal practice and does not provide legal advice.

Disputes

Any dispute is governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. We'll attempt direct resolution before escalating to formal mediation.

These terms are pending formal legal review. The current version reflects our intent and commercial practice; the legal-reviewed version will be published before signing the first paying client.
