Website Project Terms.

Last updated: July 2026

These are the plain-English terms for a one-time Weblance Studios website build. You'll always receive a link to this page before any deposit link — read it first, and email ivan@weblanceagency.com with any questions. These terms are part of our Terms of Service.

1. The packages

  • Starter — $749 total ($149 deposit to start, $600 after you approve the finished site).
  • Growth — $1,500 total ($300 deposit, $1,200 after approval).
  • Max — $2,500 total ($500 deposit, $2,000 after approval).

What's included in your package (pages, features, revision rounds) is confirmed by email before you pay the deposit.

2. Payment

  • The deposit starts the project and is non-refundable once work begins — it compensates work performed.
  • The remaining balance is never invoiced until you review and approve the finished site; it's due within 10 days of the approval invoice. Amounts more than 15 days late accrue simple interest at 10%/year; final deliverables and ownership transfer on cleared full payment.
  • All payments run through secure Stripe links — card details are never taken by email, phone, or text.

3. Timeline

A first version is delivered within the package's stated timeframe once we have everything needed from you (content, photos, logo, access). Timelines depend on materials and feedback arriving promptly.

4. Revisions

Your package includes its stated revision rounds (Starter: 2 · Growth: 5 · Max: unlimited) before final delivery. Additional rounds can be arranged for a quoted fee.

5. Satisfaction guarantee — precisely stated

The remaining balance is never due until you've seen and approved the final site. If you're not satisfied before final delivery, we revise until you are — and until you approve, you owe nothing beyond the deposit. The deposit itself compensates work already performed and is non-refundable once work begins.

6. Optional care plan — a 30-day free trial that converts to a paid subscription

  • After delivery you can add the care plan: hosting, security, backups, and content updates at $100/mo (Starter), $200/mo (Growth), or $300/mo (Max).
  • How the trial works: the signup link stores your card but bills $0 for the first 30 days. Starting on day 31, your card is charged the monthly price automatically, every month, until you cancel. We send a reminder before your first charge.
  • Cancel anytime — including during the free month, in which case you pay nothing — by email or through your Stripe billing portal.
  • The care plan is entirely optional and requires your explicit sign-up; your finished site is yours either way (Section 7).

7. Ownership

Once final payment is received, we assign you all rights, including copyright, in the delivered website and its code — no licensing, no lock-in — excluding third-party and open-source components, which stay under their own licenses. Until final payment, the work remains the property of Weblance Studios. You grant us a license to show the completed work in our portfolio (revocable prospectively by written notice).

8. Hosting & domain

Your package includes domain setup and managed hosting with commercially reasonable care. Because you own the site after final payment, you may move it anywhere anytime and we'll provide the files. Any domain we register for you is registered with you as registrant of record (or transferred to your registrar account within 30 days). ICANN locks new/newly transferred domains against transfer for 60 days; DNS repointing is never locked and happens within 5 business days of request. Renewal fees after the engagement are yours.

9. Your content & responsibilities

  • You warrant you own or have valid licenses for everything you supply — including written, HIPAA-compliant patient authorization (retained by you) for any patient or before/after imagery, and that testimonials are genuine and compliant with advertising rules.
  • Content we draft is delivered for your review; your approval adopts it as your own content. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and substantiation of claims about your services and for compliance with the rules governing your industry (including medical advertising rules).
  • No patient data: the site is a marketing site — no patient health information through our forms; health-data intake runs through your own HIPAA-capable vendor. We are not a HIPAA Business Associate and offer no BAA.
  • You consent to our pre-contract preview's use of your name, publicly available photos, and review excerpts, and license that use for the engagement.

10. Accessibility

We build to WCAG 2.1 AA as a design target using reasonable efforts, but make no representation that the site complies with the ADA, Unruh Act, or similar laws. You're responsible for your own compliance determinations and for content you supply, approve, or later change.

11. What we don't promise

Services and deliverables are provided on a commercially-reasonable-efforts basis; implied warranties are disclaimed to the maximum extent permitted by law. We don't guarantee search rankings, traffic, leads, revenue, error-free operation, or any specific uptime, and we're not liable for outages or policy actions of third-party providers.

12. Limitation of liability

Each party's total aggregate liability is capped at the total project fee you actually paid. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, or data. These limits don't apply to payment obligations or the indemnities in Section 13.

13. Mutual indemnification

You defend and indemnify Weblance Studios against third-party and governmental claims arising from content you supplied or approved, your products/services and professional practice, alleged violations of advertising or professional rules, and photos/testimonials lacking required consents. We defend and indemnify you against claims that our original code or design infringes a third party's intellectual-property rights.

14. Cancellation & termination

Either party may cancel in writing. If you cancel after work has begun, the deposit is retained to cover work done and nothing further is owed. We may terminate for material breach (illegal content or abusive conduct); on termination we return your materials.

15. Disputes

California law governs; exclusive venue is Sacramento County, California (small-claims carve-out). Both sides attempt good-faith negotiation for 30 days before filing. The prevailing party recovers reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

16. General

This page (with your signed/emailed agreement) is the entire agreement and supersedes prior emails and marketing statements; amendments in writing (email counts). Force majeure applies to events beyond reasonable control (except payment). If any clause is unenforceable the rest stands. You may not assign without consent; we may assign to a successor entity that assumes our obligations. Formal notices: ivan@weblanceagency.com.

17. Acceptance

You receive these terms before any payment link. Replying "I agree," checking the terms box at checkout, or paying the deposit after receiving them confirms you accept these terms.
