Terms of service

Last updated: 1 September 2026

These Website Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website operated by The Lane Digital Studio (The Lane, we, us or our).

By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

The Lane Digital Studio is operated by Esther Halvey in Victoria, Australia.

1. About this website

This website provides general information about The Lane Digital Studio and our Shopify design, product-data, store-refresh and ongoing-support services for independent retailers.

The information on this website is general in nature. It is not legal, financial, accounting or other professional advice and does not take account of the particular circumstances of your business.

2. Enquiries and service engagements

Submitting an enquiry or contacting us does not create a client relationship or require either party to proceed with a project.

Any services we agree to provide will be governed by a separate written proposal, scope of work, service agreement or other written terms accepted by both parties.

If there is any inconsistency between these Website Terms and an agreed client document, the agreed client document will apply to the service engagement.

Any indicative descriptions, timeframes or prices shown on the website are subject to confirmation after we understand the project requirements.

3. Accuracy of information

We take reasonable care to keep the website useful and current, but information may occasionally be incomplete, inaccurate or out of date.

Shopify features, themes, apps, third-party services and platform requirements may also change without notice.

We may update, remove or change website content at any time. You should obtain advice relevant to your circumstances before relying on website information to make a significant business decision.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content and design of this website—including its text, branding, graphics, layouts, images, illustrations, downloads and other materials—is owned by or licensed to The Lane Digital Studio and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view the website and download or print a reasonable extract for your own personal or internal business reference.

You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, adapt, scrape or commercially exploit any website content without our prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

Shopify and any other third-party names, trademarks and product names belong to their respective owners. References to them do not imply endorsement or partnership unless expressly stated.

5. Acceptable use

You must not use this website:

• For an unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose.

• To interfere with the website, its security or another person’s use of it.

• To introduce malware, malicious code or harmful material.

• To attempt unauthorised access to any system, account or data.

• To harvest information or send unsolicited communications.

• In a way that infringes another person’s rights.

We may restrict access to the website where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our systems or other users.

6. Third-party links and services

This website may link to third-party websites, platforms, tools or resources for convenience or reference.

We do not control those services and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, security, terms or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily mean that we endorse or recommend the third party.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider’s own terms and policies.

7. Website availability

We aim to keep the website available and secure, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or virus-free access.

We may suspend or change any part of the website for maintenance, security or operational reasons.

You are responsible for using appropriate security measures and maintaining backups of any information you provide or download.

8. Liability and Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from your use of, or reliance on, this website or from an unavailable third-party website or service.

This limitation relates to use of the public website and does not replace the liability provisions contained in an agreed client service document.

9. Privacy

Our collection and handling of personal information through the website is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these Website Terms when the website, our services or applicable requirements change.

The current version will be published on this page with its effective date. Your continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.

You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and courts entitled to hear appeals from them.
