Terms of Service

Service and scope

The $199-per-month plan includes custom design and copy based on the information you provide, website development, hosting, SSL, domain setup and management, two consolidated revision rounds before launch, and one consolidated batch of small content edits per month after launch (for example text, photos, hours, or biographies). Larger changes, material new features, rebrands, or work outside that scope require a separate written quote. Email inboxes and mailbox administration are not included.

Free demo

The landing-page demo is free and carries no obligation. It does not include revision rounds; changes you request are carried into the full build if you proceed.

Card setup and subscription billing

If you proceed after your demo, you accept these terms and save a payment method through Stripe. Saving a payment method does not charge it. There is no deposit and no setup fee.

The subscription is US$199 per calendar month, normally billed from launch, with a six-month minimum commitment (six payments of US$199, before any applicable taxes). The minimum begins when billing begins and does not restart at launch.

If the build is blocked by information or approvals we need from you for 60 days after a clearly communicated deadline, billing may begin before launch. We send a reminder at 30 days and advance notice at 45 days, and a person reviews the situation before billing starts. Delays on our side never count toward this period.

Cancellation and site handover

Before authorized full-site work starts, you may cancel with no cancellation charge. If you cancel after full-site work starts but before launch, one month (US$199) is owed and no code, content, or other deliverables are handed over. Amounts you have already paid count toward it; nothing is charged twice.

After launch, the six-month minimum applies. Leaving before it is complete requires paying the remaining months of the minimum. Once the minimum has been paid, you may cancel by emailing us; cancellation stops future renewals and does not reverse charges already paid except where applicable law or a separate written agreement requires a refund.

Once the six-month minimum has been paid, cancellation includes handover of the site repository, site copy, and brand assets created for the project so you can host the site elsewhere. Third-party software, fonts, stock assets, and services remain subject to their own licenses.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the accuracy of information you provide, confirming that you have rights to supplied content and assets, and reviewing the site before launch. Do not provide privileged client files or identifiable client information unless you are authorized to do so and it is necessary for the project. You remain responsible for your professional and advertising-law obligations.

Third-party services

Payments are processed by Stripe, and the website, demo request, and client workspace rely on third-party hosting, database, file storage, security, analytics, and email providers. Their availability and separate terms may affect the service. We do not receive or store your full payment-card number.

Legal review and contact

These terms are an operational accuracy pass and have not yet received professional legal review. Governing law, dispute venue, liability limits, the minimum commitment, and the cancellation and client-delay provisions should be reviewed by qualified counsel before launch. We may update these terms as the service changes; the date above identifies the current version.
