the fine print, kept simple.

These terms apply to anyone visiting type19.studio and its subdomains (the “site”), run by type19 Studio (“type19”, “we”, “us”). By using the site you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Using the site

• You may browse, share links to and reference the site for personal or business purposes.
• Please don’t copy, scrape, resell or reproduce our work, code or design without written permission.
• Don’t attempt to disrupt the site, access it in unauthorised ways, or use it to send spam or malicious code.

Information on the site

We keep the site accurate and up to date, but it is general information about our studio, not a quote or an offer. Pricing, timelines and scope are only binding once confirmed in a written proposal.

Links to other sites

We link to services such as Cal.com, Instagram, LinkedIn and the sites we have built for clients. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices, and we aren’t responsible for their content.

Liability

The site is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any loss arising from your use of it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that can’t be excluded.

Changes

We may update these documents from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version.

These terms apply to every project we take on, alongside the proposal we send you. Where the two differ, the proposal takes priority.

Proposals and quotes

• Every engagement starts with a free call and a written proposal setting out scope, deliverables, timeline and price.
• Quotes are fixed and given in AUD or INR. Work outside the agreed scope is quoted separately before we start it.
• A project begins once you accept the proposal and any initial payment it requires is received.

Payments

• One Time projects are invoiced on the schedule set out in your proposal.
• Recurring plans are billed in advance for each cycle. You can pause or cancel any time; the change takes effect at the end of the cycle you have paid for.
• Invoices are due within the period stated on them. We may pause work on overdue accounts until they are settled.
• Third-party costs such as domains, hosting, fonts, stock assets or paid plugins are passed on at cost unless your proposal includes them.

Revisions and approvals

Your plan sets how many revision rounds are included. Once you approve a stage, later changes to it count as new work. Clear, timely feedback keeps the timeline on track; delays in content or approvals may move delivery dates.

Your responsibilities

• Provide the content, access and information we need, on time.
• Make sure you have the rights to anything you give us to use, such as text, photos, logos and fonts.
• Review work carefully before approving it, including spelling, prices and legal wording on your site.

Launch, hosting and maintenance

We deploy finished work to the hosting set out in your proposal. Ongoing updates, monitoring and maintenance are covered by a Recurring plan or a separate agreement. We fix defects in our own work that you report within the support period stated in your proposal.

Ending a project

Either side can end a project with written notice. You pay for work completed up to that point and any committed third-party costs, and we hand over the work you have paid for.

Liability

We take care with everything we build, but we can’t guarantee that a site will be error-free, uninterrupted or deliver specific business results. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for a project is limited to the fees you paid for that project, and neither side is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, unless your proposal names another jurisdiction. We’ll always try to resolve any concern by talking first.

We collect as little as we need, use it only to work with you, and never sell it. This policy explains how we handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and, for people in India, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023.

What we collect

• When you contact us: your name, email address and whatever you include in your message.
• When you book a call: the details you enter in our booking form on Cal.com, such as your name, email and notes.
• When you work with us: billing and business details, project materials, and account access you share with us.
• When you apply to join: the information you submit through join.type19.studio.

The site itself doesn’t use analytics, advertising trackers or contact forms that store data.

How we use it

• To reply to you, run calls and prepare proposals.
• To deliver, support and invoice our services.
• To consider applications to join the team.
• To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.

Who we share it with

Only with the services that help us run the studio, such as email, scheduling (Cal.com), file storage, hosting and payment providers, and professional advisers where needed. They may store information outside Australia or India, including in the United States. We don’t sell, rent or trade personal information.

Where it is held

Our team works from Melbourne and Kochi, so information may be accessed from Australia and India. We take reasonable steps to keep it secure, including access controls and reputable providers.

How long we keep it

We keep project and billing records for as long as the law requires, and other information only as long as it is useful for the purpose it was given. You can ask us to delete information we no longer need.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, or withdraw consent, by emailing hello@type19.studio. We’ll respond within 30 days. If you’re not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au) or, in India, the Data Protection Board of India.

Short version: this site doesn’t set cookies and doesn’t track you, so there is no cookie banner.

What the site does store

To make page changes feel smooth, the site saves a single temporary flag in your browser’s session storage. It contains no personal information and is cleared when you close the tab.

Third parties

• Our smooth-scrolling library is loaded from the jsDelivr network, which receives standard request information such as your IP address to deliver the file.
• When you click through to Cal.com, Instagram, LinkedIn or a client’s site, those services may set their own cookies under their own policies.

Managing cookies

You can block or clear cookies and site storage in your browser settings at any time. The site will keep working.

If we ever add analytics or other cookies, we’ll update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

The type19 name, logo, the 19 mark, and the design, code, copy, photography and video on this site belong to type19 Studio. Client work shown here belongs to the respective clients and is displayed with their permission.

Work we make for you

• Once a project is paid in full, you own the final deliverables we create for you, such as your logo, brand assets and site design.
• We keep ownership of our pre-existing tools, code libraries, templates and techniques. You receive a permanent licence to use them as part of your project.
• Concepts and drafts you didn’t choose remain ours.
• Fonts, stock images, plugins and other third-party assets stay under their own licences.
