Terms of Service

The fine print, in plain English.

The short version

  • 50% deposit to start once-off work and shoots; the balance on completion.
  • Setups are delivered within 7 days of receiving everything we need. Shoot photos arrive within 2 days, video within a week.
  • Monthly services run month to month. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice.
  • We use manager access to your accounts, never your passwords.
  • We never write fake reviews and never promise a ranking on Google.

These terms apply to all Nudge Labs services. By paying a deposit or an invoice, you agree to them.

Quotes, deposits and payment

  • Every job starts with a written quote, valid for 30 days.
  • Once-off work and content shoots need a 50% deposit to book. The balance is due on completion, before final files or logins are handed over.
  • Prepaid bundles (Agent Pack) are paid in full upfront. The Season Pack is paid per shoot, R4,000 each time.
  • Monthly services are invoiced at the start of each month and paid within 7 days.
  • Monthly services pause if an invoice is more than 14 days overdue, and resume once it's paid.

Delivery times and approvals

  • Setups and websites are delivered within 7 days of receiving your completed intake form, photos and account access.
  • You approve before anything goes live. Each setup includes one round of changes; further changes are quoted.
  • Google verification is controlled by Google and can take longer than 7 days.

Monthly services

  • Monthly services run month to month, with no lock-in contract. Cancel any time with 30 days' written notice.
  • When you cancel, everything we set up stays yours. We hand over website files or transfer hosting on request.
  • The Full Nudge setup fee is once-off and not refundable once the work is delivered.

Content shoots

  • A shoot is booked once the deposit is paid. Travel: the first 30 km is free, then R3 per km, quoted upfront.
  • If weather would spoil the shoot or make flying unsafe, we reschedule at no cost. Drone flights follow local flight rules.
  • Rescheduling is free with 48 hours' notice. Later cancellations forfeit the deposit.
  • Agent Pack shoots must be used within 6 months.

Access to your accounts

  • We work through manager or admin access you grant. We never ask for your passwords.
  • You stay the owner of every account and can remove our access at any time. We remove our own access within 7 days of a service ending.

Ownership of photos, video and websites

  • Once paid in full, your website, its text and your business accounts belong to you.
  • Photos and video are licensed to you for your business use, including listings, website, social media, print and advertising. They can't be resold or licensed to others.
  • Nudge Labs keeps copyright and may show the work in its portfolio, unless you ask us in writing not to.
  • Footage of private homes is never used for stock or other commercial purposes without the owner's written permission.

What we will and won't do

  • No fake reviews, ever.
  • No guaranteed rankings. Nobody can promise the top spot on Google.
  • Nothing misleading is posted about your business, prices or services.
  • We may decline work that conflicts with our values.

Privacy, changes and contact

  • We only collect the information needed to do the work, keep it private, and handle it in line with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
  • We may update these terms. Changes never apply to work already quoted or paid for, and monthly clients get 30 days' notice.
