Website Services Agreement

1.1. The Company will create, host, maintain, and provide reasonable ongoing updates to a website for the Customer's business.

1.2. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an initial version of the website within two (2) business days after the Company receives the Customer's initial payment and sufficient information to begin development.

1.3. The Customer may request reasonable revisions to the website. Reasonable revisions are included without a specific numerical limit; however, requests that constitute a substantial redesign, a new website, new functionality, custom software development, or work materially outside the scope of the original website may require a separate agreement or additional fee.

1.4. The Company will determine the technical means, platform, hosting environment, design implementation, and other technical methods used to provide the services.

2.1. The Customer may provide business information, logos, photographs, service descriptions, branding materials, and other content for use on the website.

2.2. If the Customer does not provide particular information or content, the Customer authorizes the Company to use publicly available information concerning the Customer's business to prepare the website.

2.3. The Customer is responsible for reviewing the website and notifying the Company of inaccurate or outdated information.

2.4. The Customer represents that it owns or has the right to use any content supplied to the Company and grants the Company permission to use such content for purposes of creating, operating, maintaining, and promoting the Customer's website.

3.1. The Customer shall pay the Company $99.00 per month.

3.2. No separate website development or setup fee will be charged unless otherwise agreed in writing.

3.3. The first monthly payment is due when the Customer enters into this Agreement. Subsequent monthly payments will be automatically charged approximately every thirty (30) days thereafter using the payment method maintained on file through the Company's payment processor.

3.4. The Customer authorizes the Company and its payment processor to automatically charge the payment method on file for all recurring monthly fees and other amounts properly due under this Agreement.

3.5. All payments are non-refundable except where otherwise required by applicable law.

4.1. The initial term of this Agreement is twelve (12) months beginning on the Effective Date.

4.2. The Customer is committing to the twelve-month term and not merely purchasing services on a month-to-month basis.

IMPORTANT AUTOMATIC RENEWAL NOTICE: UNLESS THE CUSTOMER CANCELS RENEWAL AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS BEFORE THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT TERM, THIS AGREEMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR ANOTHER TWELVE (12) MONTH TERM.

5.1. Following the initial twelve-month term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive twelve-month terms unless either Party gives the other written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term.

5.2. A notice of non-renewal prevents the next term from beginning but does not terminate the Customer's obligations during the then-current term.

5.3. The Customer may provide notice of cancellation or non-renewal by email to allen.shell@thewebsiteartisans.com or through another cancellation method designated by the Company.

6.1. The Customer may terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the then-current twelve-month term by providing written notice to the Company.

6.2. Because the Company incurs substantial front-loaded costs associated with website creation, configuration, onboarding, domain registration, and setup, and because the precise damages resulting from early termination may be difficult to calculate, the Parties agree that an early termination fee equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the unpaid monthly fees remaining in the then-current term represents a reasonable estimate of the Company's resulting loss and is intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

6.3. The early termination fee shall become due upon the effective date of early termination.

6.4. Upon early termination, the website and associated hosting services will be taken offline immediately.

7.1. The Company will register, acquire, manage, and maintain any domain name used for the website unless otherwise agreed in writing.

7.2. Any domain name registered, purchased, or provided by the Company shall remain the property of the Company. The Customer acquires no ownership interest or transfer right in such domain name by paying fees under this Agreement.

7.3. The Company retains ownership of the website itself, including its templates, layouts, software, source code, design systems, graphics created by the Company, technical configuration, and other Company intellectual property.

7.4. The Customer retains ownership of the Customer's pre-existing trademarks, logos, photographs, written materials, and other content supplied by the Customer.

7.5. The Customer receives a limited right to use the website while the Customer maintains an active account in good standing under this Agreement.

7.6. When this Agreement terminates or expires, the Customer's right to use the website ends and the Company may immediately take the website offline.

8.1. The monthly service includes website hosting, routine maintenance, and reasonable updates to existing website content.

8.2. Reasonable updates may include changes to business hours, telephone numbers, service descriptions, photographs, service areas, pricing information, staff information, and similar website content.

8.3. Major redesigns, substantial new functionality, e-commerce functionality, custom applications, extensive new pages, third-party integrations, or other work materially beyond the existing website may require additional fees or a separate agreement.

9.1. The Customer shall maintain a valid payment method on file throughout the term of this Agreement.

9.2. If a scheduled payment fails, the Customer shall have five (5) business days to provide a valid payment method and satisfy the outstanding balance.

9.3. If payment remains outstanding after five (5) business days, the Company may suspend the website and related services until all amounts due are paid.

9.4. Suspension for nonpayment does not cancel the Agreement or eliminate the Customer's payment obligations.

9.5. Continued failure to pay may be treated by the Company as an early termination or material breach, in which case the early termination fee provided in Section 6 may become due.

10.1. The $99 monthly price shall remain unchanged during the initial twelve-month term unless the Customer and Company agree otherwise in writing.

10.2. Following the initial term, the Company may change the monthly price or other recurring fees by providing at least thirty (30) days' written or electronic notice to the Customer.

10.3. If a price increase is scheduled to become effective during a renewal term, the Customer may reject the increase by terminating the Agreement before the effective date of the new price without being charged an early termination fee. Continued use of the services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised price.

11.1. The Company does not guarantee any particular search-engine ranking, website traffic, telephone calls, leads, customers, revenue, profits, or other business result.

11.2. The website is provided as a business marketing and informational tool, and the Customer remains solely responsible for the operation and success of the Customer's business.

12.1. The Company may use third-party hosting providers, domain registrars, payment processors, software platforms, and other service providers in providing the services.

12.2. The Company shall not be responsible for temporary interruptions or failures caused by third-party providers, internet outages, cybersecurity incidents outside the Company's reasonable control, governmental action, or other circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control.

13.1. The Customer shall not use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, infringing, defamatory, or otherwise prohibited activity.

13.2. The Company may refuse to publish or may remove content that the Company reasonably believes violates applicable law, infringes third-party rights, creates material legal or security risk, or violates this Agreement.

14.1. The Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from content supplied by the Customer, the Customer's business activities, the Customer's violation of law, or the Customer's infringement of third-party rights.

15.1. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the services are provided on an "as available" basis.

15.2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims warranties not expressly stated in this Agreement, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

16.2. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Customer to the Company during the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

16.3. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability that applicable law does not permit the Parties to limit.

17.1. The Company may terminate or suspend this Agreement for material breach, unlawful use of the services, nonpayment, fraudulent activity, abuse of Company personnel or systems, or other material violation of this Agreement.

17.2. If the Company terminates the Agreement because of the Customer's material breach, amounts previously owed and any applicable early termination fee shall remain due.

17.3. The Company may also terminate the Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days' written notice. If the Company terminates without cause, no early termination fee shall apply and the Customer shall not be charged for service periods occurring after termination.
