Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 1/12/25

Welcome to my portfolio website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please stop using this site immediately.

1. General Information

This website is owned and operated by Justine Macandili, based in Melbourne, Australia. The purpose of this site is to showcase my design work, creative portfolio, and freelance services.

I reserve the right to update or change these Terms & Conditions at any time, and continued use of the site indicates acceptance of any changes.

2. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted:

  • All images, text, graphics, videos, case studies, and design work on this website are my intellectual property.

  • You may not copy, reproduce, screenshot, distribute, modify, or publish any content without my written permission.

Clients may display the work I created for them, provided it aligns with our contractual terms.

3. Use of Client Projects in Portfolio

Clients acknowledge that I may feature completed work in my:

  • Portfolio website

  • Social media

  • Presentations

  • Promotional materials

If a client prefers their project not to be publicly displayed, they must request this in writing before the project begins or at the time of signing the service agreement.

4. Restrictions on Website Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the site for any unlawful purposes

  • Attempt to breach or bypass security

  • Scrape content without permission

  • Upload harmful code, malware, or attempt to disrupt website functionality

Violations may lead to restricted access or legal action.

5. Accuracy of Information

I aim to keep all content accurate and up to date. However, I do not guarantee that:

  • All information is complete, current, or error-free

  • The website will always be available without interruption

Information may change without notice.

6. Third-Party Links

This website may include links to external websites or services.
I am not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.

7. Limitation of Liability (Australia-Compliant)

To the fullest extent permitted under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL):

  • I am not liable for any loss, damage, or interruptions resulting from your use of this website.

  • This site is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis.

  • I make no guarantees about continuous or error-free site operation.

Nothing in this section excludes rights you may have under the ACL.

8. Privacy & Data Collection

This website may automatically collect basic analytics data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and general usage behaviour. This helps improve performance and user experience.

If you contact me through a form or email, I only use your information to respond to your inquiry.

A separate Privacy Policy is recommended for legal compliance in Australia — I can create one for you too.

9. No Client Relationship Created

Viewing this site or contacting me does not form a client agreement.
A client relationship is only established once both parties agree in writing or sign a formal contract.

Any disputes will be resolved in courts located in Victoria.
