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.
