1. Acceptance of Terms

By engaging Studio HMD Pty Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”) for architectural design and related services, or by accessing our website at studiohmd.com.au, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our services or website.

2. Services

Studio HMD provides architectural design, documentation, and project management services for residential projects including luxury dwellings, townhouses, duplexes, and apartments across Sydney. All services are delivered in accordance with the NSW Architects Act 2003 and the conditions of our architectural registration (No. 13247).

3. Engagement and Fees

A formal written agreement will be provided prior to commencement of any project. Fees, payment schedules, and scope of work will be outlined in that agreement. Any additional services beyond the agreed scope may incur further charges, which will be communicated and approved before proceeding.

4. Client Obligations

Clients must provide accurate and timely information, approvals, and access as required to facilitate the design and approval process. Delays caused by incomplete or late client input may result in revised timelines and additional costs.

5. Intellectual Property

All designs, drawings, documentation, and related materials produced by Studio HMD remain our intellectual property until full payment has been received. Designs may not be reproduced, modified, or used for any purpose other than the agreed project without our written consent.

6. Development Approvals

While we prepare and lodge Development Application (DA) and Construction Certificate (CC) documentation on your behalf, we cannot guarantee approval by the relevant council or certifying authority. Approval outcomes are subject to council policies and planning regulations outside our control.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, Studio HMD’s liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental losses.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate the engagement by providing written notice as outlined in the project agreement. Upon termination, the client is responsible for payment of all work completed and expenses incurred up to the date of termination.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.
