These terms govern your use of this website (sipherdigital.co.nz), operated by Sipher Digital ("we", "us", "our"), a studio based in Christchurch, New Zealand. By browsing or using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
These terms cover the website only. If you engage us for a project, that work is governed by a separate signed agreement with its own terms, which take precedence over this page for anything related to that engagement.

You're welcome to browse this site, read about our work, and get in touch. You agree not to:
- Use the site in any way that could damage, disable, or impair it
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its underlying code

2. Intellectual property
The design, layout, copy, and code of this website are owned by Sipher Digital unless otherwise stated. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial reference, but you may not reproduce, distribute, or build derivative works from this site without our written permission.
Client names, logos, and project details shown in the portfolio and case studies remain the property of the respective businesses and are displayed with permission (or, where marked, as illustrative examples for design reference).
3. Accuracy of content
We keep this site reasonably up to date, but we don't guarantee that every page — including pricing, service descriptions, and portfolio content — is complete, current, or error-free at all times. Figures and availability are confirmed properly once you're in direct contact with us about a project.
4. No professional advice
Content on this site (including the Process and Insights-style sections) is provided for general information only and doesn't constitute professional, legal, financial, or business advice. You should seek independent advice before making decisions based on anything you read here.
5. Third-party links and services
This site may link to third-party websites, and it loads fonts and scripts from third-party providers (see our Privacy Policy for details). We aren't responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site or service.
6. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
This website is provided "as is." To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, Sipher Digital excludes all warranties, express or implied, about the site's availability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sipher Digital is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of this website. Nothing in these terms limits any right or remedy you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 that cannot lawfully be excluded.

You agree to indemnify Sipher Digital against any claim, loss, or damage arising from your misuse of this website or your breach of these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and any dispute relating to this website is subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
