1. Services

Provider will design, build, host and maintain a Business Tier website for Client. The Business Tier build includes:

• Everything listed in the Starter Tier
• Up to twelve (12) pages of custom design and layout
• An online store of up to twenty five (25) products, with card payments, automatic email receipts, and discount codes
• Online ordering connected to one (1) system Client already uses, being Toast, Square, DoorDash or Clover
• Contact, quote request and booking request forms, delivered to Client by email and text message
• Google Business Profile setup or cleanup
• Google Analytics and Search Console setup
• A private area with staff or customer logins that Client controls
• Photo gallery or project portfolio section, and a customer review section
• Blog, news or announcements section
• An animated opening sequence
• Expanded on page search setup with local and service area targeting
• Business email forwarding, up to five (5) addresses on the domain
• SSL security certificate, and setup and connection of the domain name

Anything not listed above is outside the Business Tier and is quoted separately under Section 4.

2. Build Fee and Payment Schedule

The one time build fee is $1,000.

A deposit of $500 (50%) is due at signing, before any custom work begins. The remaining $500 is due before the website is published live.

The deposit is non refundable once work has started, because the work is custom to the Client business.

PAYMENT SUMMARY. The build fee and the monthly service fee are two separate charges. The first monthly service fee is due at launch, not thirty (30) days later. The full cost to get the website live is:

• Due at signing: $500
• Due before the website is published live: $700, being the $500 build balance plus the $200 first monthly service fee
• TOTAL TO LAUNCH: $1,200
• Every month after launch: $200

If Client selects the twelve (12) month prepaid option under Section 9, the amount due before the website is published live is instead $2,500, being the $500 build balance plus the $2,000 prepaid annual service fee, for a total to launch of $3,000. No monthly billing occurs during a prepaid term.

3. Monthly Service Fee

Beginning on the date the website goes live, Client pays $200 per month. The monthly fee covers:

• Website hosting and uptime monitoring
• Domain registration and annual renewal
• SSL certificate renewal
• Software updates, security patches and regular backups
• Up to five (5) free change requests per month, as defined in Section 4
• Business email forwarding, up to five (5) forwarding addresses on the domain
• Email and phone support during normal business hours, Monday through Friday

The first monthly service fee is due at launch as part of the payment summary in Section 2. After that the monthly fee is billed on the same day each month and is due on receipt. The monthly fee is separate from and in addition to the build fee.

4. Change Requests

Client receives five (5) free change requests per calendar month, included in the monthly fee. Unused free changes do not roll over to the following month.

A free change means a minor update. Provider will review every request and tell Client in writing, before starting, whether it is free or billable. Client is never charged for anything without approving a written quote first.

Free changes are minor updates such as text and wording edits, swapping or adding photos, updating hours, phone numbers, addresses or pricing, adding or removing a service or menu item, and posting a promotion or seasonal notice.

Standard turnaround is two (2) business days from the time Provider receives the final content for the change.

Major changes are not free and are quoted separately. A request is treated as a major change if it goes beyond a minor update, including but not limited to:

• Adding pages beyond the twelve (12) pages included in Section 1
• Redesign or restructuring of an existing page, or of the site as a whole
• Integration with third party software or platforms beyond what Section 1 includes
• Logo design, photography, videography, or written copy not already included in Section 1
• An online store beyond the twenty five (25) products included in Section 1
• Online booking and scheduling systems, meaning a calendar that manages availability, as distinct from the booking request forms included in Section 1

Provider will provide a written price quote before any work on a major change begins. No work starts until Client approves the quote in writing. Approved major changes are billed separately from the monthly fee and do not count against the free changes for that month.

5. Client Responsibilities

• Client provides all text, photos, logos and business information needed for the build.
• Client confirms it owns or has permission to use everything it provides, and Client is responsible for any claim arising from material it supplies.
• Client will review drafts and respond with feedback or approval within five (5) business days.
• If Client does not supply content or respond for thirty (30) days, Provider may pause the project. Restarting a paused project may require a new timeline.

6. Domain Name

Provider registers, holds and manages the domain name, and the cost of the domain is included in the monthly fee.

The domain belongs to Client. If this Agreement ends and the Client account is paid in full, Provider will transfer the domain to Client, or to any registrar Client chooses, within ten (10) business days of a written request. Provider will not hold a domain on a paid up account.

If Client prefers the domain registered in the Client business name from the start, Client may say so in writing and Provider will do that instead. Provider retains administrative access to manage hosting, DNS and technical settings for as long as this Agreement is active, and Section 8 applies in full.

7. Late Payment and Suspension

• Any monthly payment not received by its due date incurs a late fee of $25.00 for that month.
• If payment is more than fifteen (15) days past due, Provider may suspend the website. A suspended site displays a temporary placeholder or goes offline.
• The website is restored within one (1) business day of Provider receiving the full past due balance plus the late fee. No separate reactivation charge applies.
• Suspension does not cancel this Agreement and does not stop monthly fees from accruing.
• If an account is more than sixty (60) days past due, Provider may terminate this Agreement and take the website permanently offline.

8. Non-Circumvention

While this Agreement is active, Client will not move the website, the domain, or Provider work to another provider, developer or platform, and will not give Provider design files, code or credentials to a third party, without first giving written notice and paying all amounts owed under this Agreement. This section does not prevent Client from terminating under Section 9.

9. Term and Termination

This Agreement begins on the date it is accepted and runs for the initial term Client selected at checkout, being three (3), six (6) or twelve (12) months, measured from the date the website goes live.

After the initial term this Agreement continues month to month. Either party may then cancel with thirty (30) days written notice, and email counts as written notice. Client is responsible for all fees through the end of the notice period.

If Client cancels during the initial term, the monthly service fees for the remaining months of that term become immediately due. This is not a penalty. It is the amount Client agreed to pay for the term selected, and Provider has already priced the build below cost on the strength of it.

Twelve (12) month prepaid option. Client may instead pay the annual service fee up front and receive two (2) months free, so the prepaid year costs $2,000 rather than $2,400. Prepaid months are non refundable if Client cancels early. Provider may issue a credit toward future service at Provider discretion but owes no cash refund. The prepay discount applies to the monthly service fee only and never reduces the build fee.

Provider may terminate with thirty (30) days written notice for non payment, for abusive conduct, or if the website is used for anything unlawful. Where Provider terminates for any other reason, Provider refunds any prepaid months not yet used.

On termination with the account paid in full, Provider transfers the domain under Section 6 and provides Client with a copy of the text and images Client supplied. Hosting ends on the final day of service and the website is taken offline at that time.

Terms longer than twelve (12) months are available by separate written agreement.

10. Ownership

Client owns its own content, being the business name, logo, text, photos and customer data.

The website design, layout, code, and any templates or components built by Provider remain the property of Provider and are licensed to Client for use for as long as this Agreement is active. Client may purchase full ownership of the site files at any time for a buyout fee equal to twelve (12) months of the monthly service fee, being $2,400.

11. Portfolio Rights

Provider may display the completed website, screenshots of it, and the Client business name and logo in the Provider portfolio, website, social media and marketing materials. Client may opt out at any time by saying so in writing, and Provider will remove the material within ten (10) business days.

12. Third Party Costs

Costs for items such as premium plugins, paid stock photos, paid fonts, payment processing fees charged by a payment provider, or specialty services are not included in the fees above. Provider will notify Client of any such cost and obtain written approval before purchasing.

13. No Guarantees

Provider does not guarantee any specific search engine ranking, traffic level, lead volume or sales result. Search engines are controlled by third parties. Ranking for the Client business name is normally achieved within weeks of launch. Ranking for competitive general search terms is a longer effort that is not included in any tier.

Provider does not guarantee uninterrupted service. Outages caused by the hosting provider, domain registrar, internet service providers, or events outside Provider control are not the responsibility of Provider, though Provider will work in good faith to restore service.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of Provider under this Agreement is limited to the amount Client paid Provider in the twelve (12) months before the claim. Provider is not liable for lost profits, lost business, or indirect or consequential damages.

Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for fraud, or for anything that cannot lawfully be limited.

15. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Kansas. Any dispute will be handled in the courts of Saline County, Kansas.

16. Entire Agreement

This document is the entire agreement between the parties and replaces any prior discussions or promises, written or verbal. Any change to this Agreement must be in writing and agreed by both parties. If any section is found unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement stays in effect.

17. How This Agreement Is Signed

Client accepts this Agreement at checkout by ticking the acceptance box and typing their full legal name as an electronic signature. Beyond Website Development records the acceptance, the typed name, the tier and term selected, and the date and time, against the payment.

An electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten one under the federal ESIGN Act and the Kansas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Client may request a copy of the completed record at any time.

This is version 2026-09-04 of this Agreement. The version accepted at the time of payment is the version that governs, even if this page is updated later.
