Legal
These terms govern all services provided by Oxironix. Please read them carefully before engaging our services.
In these Terms & Conditions, the following definitions apply:
These Terms & Conditions apply to all services provided by Oxironix, regardless of whether a separate written contract has been signed. Acceptance may be express (signature, written approval) or implied (payment of deposit, commencement of work at Client's request).
Oxironix offers the following categories of services:
| Service Category | Includes |
|---|---|
| Web Design & Development | New website builds, landing pages, website redesigns, e-commerce stores (WooCommerce), WordPress development using Elementor and Astra Theme |

| Ongoing Services | Website maintenance, domain registration and management, business email setup, monthly SEO retainers, hosting support |
The specific scope of services for each project is defined in the written quote or proposal provided to the Client. Oxironix reserves the right to decline any project at its discretion.
All quotes provided by Oxironix are valid for 30 calendar days from the date of issue. After this period, Oxironix reserves the right to revise pricing based on current rates and workload.
The scope of work is defined in the accepted quote or proposal. This includes the number of pages, features, design rounds, and deliverables. Any work outside the agreed scope is considered an additional service and will be quoted and invoiced separately.
If the Client requests additional work, new features, or significant changes that fall outside the original scope mid-project, Oxironix will issue a revised quote or change order. Work on the scope addition will only commence once the Client has accepted the revised quote in writing.
Important: Adding pages, features, or content to a project after work has commenced is considered a scope change. Please ensure your brief is as complete as possible before project commencement to avoid delays and additional costs.
Oxironix applies a tiered payment structure depending on project size and type. Payment terms will be clearly stated in the project quote.
| Project Type | Typical Payment Structure |
|---|---|
| Small projects (e.g. logo, business cards, small site — under R3,000) |
100% upfront before work commences |
| Medium projects (e.g. standard website, brand identity — R3,000–R10,000) |
50% deposit to commence, 50% balance on completion before handover |
| Large projects (e.g. e-commerce, complex builds — R10,000+) |
Milestone-based: agreed percentage at project start, mid-point, and on completion |
| Monthly retainers (SEO, maintenance, Google Ads) |
Monthly in advance, due on the 1st of each month |
Work will not commence until the required deposit or upfront payment has been received and confirmed. Oxironix is not obligated to hold a project start date if payment is not received within 5 business days of quote acceptance.
Final deliverables, website login credentials, and all project files will only be transferred or the website made live once the full outstanding balance has been paid in full.
Invoices are due within 7 calendar days of issue unless otherwise stated. Overdue accounts may incur an interest charge of 2% per month on the outstanding balance. Oxironix reserves the right to suspend work or retainer services on accounts that are more than 14 days overdue.
EFT (bank transfer), PayFast, PayGate, and SnapScan. All amounts are quoted in South African Rand (ZAR) and are inclusive of VAT where applicable.
Oxironix is committed to delivering work that meets the Client's brief. The following revision policy applies to all projects:
Each project includes 2 rounds of revisions per major deliverable (e.g. website design, logo concepts, brand identity). A revision round is defined as a single consolidated set of feedback submitted in writing, covering all changes required at that stage.
Revision rounds beyond the included allocation will be charged at Oxironix's standard hourly rate or a fixed fee, which will be communicated to the Client before additional work commences.
A revision is a change to existing approved content — such as adjusting colours, fonts, layout, or copy. A revision does not include adding new pages, features, or content that were not part of the original scope, which will be treated as a scope change.
Once the Client has approved a deliverable (in writing, by email, or by WhatsApp message), that stage is considered final. Changes requested after sign-off may be treated as additional work and quoted accordingly.
Tip: To make the most of your revision rounds, consolidate all feedback into a single, clearly written list before submitting it. This avoids partial revisions and back-and-forth delays that slow down your project.
A successful project is a partnership. The Client agrees to the following responsibilities:
If the Client fails to provide content, feedback, approvals, or required access within 14 calendar days of being requested by Oxironix, the project will be placed on hold. Oxironix cannot guarantee the original delivery timeline once a project is paused.
If a project is placed on hold due to Client delays and the Client wishes to resume, a restart fee of up to 15% of the remaining project value may be applied to re-allocate resources and re-engage with the project. This fee will be communicated to the Client before restart.
If there is no communication from the Client for 30 consecutive calendar days after Oxironix has made reasonable attempts to make contact, the project will be deemed abandoned. In this case:
If Oxironix is unable to meet an agreed deadline due to unforeseen circumstances, we will notify the Client as soon as possible and provide a revised timeline. We are committed to transparent and timely communication.
Upon receipt of full and final payment, all intellectual property rights in the final deliverables — including website design, code, logos, and other custom creative assets — are transferred to the Client. The Client may then use these deliverables freely for their intended business purpose.
Oxironix retains the right to display any completed work in its portfolio, on its website, in social media posts, and in marketing materials, unless the Client explicitly requests confidentiality in writing at the time of project commencement. The Client's name and work may be referenced as a case study or example.
Until full payment has been received, all work — including drafts, concepts, designs, and code — remains the intellectual property of Oxironix. The Client may not reproduce, distribute, or use any deliverables until payment is complete.
Where licensed stock images, icon sets, fonts, plugins, or themes are used in a project, they remain subject to their original licence terms. Oxironix will advise the Client of any licences that require the Client to maintain an active subscription or purchase directly.
Websites built on WordPress, Elementor, and other open-source platforms are subject to their respective licences (e.g. GPL). Oxironix does not transfer or assign rights to open-source software used in projects.
Both Oxironix and the Client acknowledge that during the course of a project, each party may have access to confidential information belonging to the other party. Both parties agree to the following mutual confidentiality obligations:
Confidential information includes — but is not limited to — business plans, pricing strategies, unreleased products or services, client lists, financial data, login credentials, marketing strategies, technical processes, and any information marked as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential in nature.
Each party agrees to:
These confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to the receiving party prior to the Agreement, or is required to be disclosed by law or court order.
These confidentiality obligations survive the termination of the Agreement for a period of 3 years after the project's conclusion.
To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, Oxironix's total liability to the Client in connection with any project or service — whether in contract, delict, or otherwise — shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for the specific project or service giving rise to the claim.
Oxironix shall not be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or incidental losses — including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business, loss of data, or loss of goodwill — even if Oxironix has been advised of the possibility of such losses.
Oxironix warrants that:
Oxironix does not guarantee specific outcomes from SEO or Google Ads services, including specific search engine rankings, traffic volumes, conversion rates, or revenue growth. Digital marketing results are influenced by many factors beyond Oxironix's control, including competitor activity, search algorithm changes, and market conditions.
Oxironix is not responsible for issues arising from changes made by third-party platforms (including WordPress, Google, Meta, or hosting providers) after the project has been completed and handed over to the Client.
Oxironix may recommend or use third-party services, platforms, and tools as part of delivering its services. The following applies:
Ongoing services such as SEO retainers, maintenance packages, and Google Ads management are billed monthly in advance. The minimum retainer commitment is 3 months unless otherwise stated in the proposal.
The Client must provide 30 calendar days' written notice to cancel a monthly retainer. Notice may be given by email to service@oxironix.co.za. No refunds will be given for partial months already paid.
Oxironix will make reasonable efforts to ensure continuity of retainer services. In the event that Oxironix needs to terminate a retainer arrangement, 30 days' notice will be given to the Client, and any prepaid fees for unused periods will be refunded.
Website maintenance packages cover routine updates to WordPress core, themes, and plugins, plus minor content updates as defined in the package. Major redesigns, new functionality, or significant content overhauls are outside the scope of maintenance and will be quoted separately.
The Client may cancel a project at any time by providing written notice to Oxironix. In the event of cancellation:
Oxironix reserves the right to terminate a project or retainer with immediate effect in the event that:
In the event of termination by Oxironix for cause, all fees paid to date are non-refundable.
In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms & Conditions or any project, the parties agree to the following process:
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent interim relief from a court where necessary to protect their rights.
These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Gauteng Division of the High Court of South Africa, or the Magistrate's Court having jurisdiction, in respect of any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms & Conditions.
Relevant South African legislation that may apply to our services and this Agreement includes the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA), the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), and any other applicable law in force from time to time.
Oxironix reserves the right to update or amend these Terms & Conditions at any time. When changes are made:
