Clear terms for both ways to launch.

The signed order form defines the page count, services, service area, launch target, and special inclusions. The standard build includes up to two consolidated revision rounds within the agreed direction. New pages, a new design direction, piecemeal revisions, and custom functionality are additional work.

A submission may be treated as approved when the client approves it in writing, instructs Faircrest Studios to launch it, uses it publicly, or does not provide specific written objections within five business days after an approval request.

The seven-day Launch Review Window begins when the website is published. Accepted basic corrections submitted during that window are completed in addition to the standard updates included with service. Requests outside the approved scope remain additional work.

Clients must provide timely, accurate business information, service details, contact information, claims, licenses, legal notices, text, images, reviews, and account access. Clients are responsible for final proofreading and for having permission to use all supplied material.

Client delays extend deadlines. A project may be rescheduled after a delay of more than 10 business days and paused after more than 30 days. Monthly Start payments continue during a client-caused delay.

Prices are in U.S. dollars unless agreed otherwise. The signed order form states the applicable fees, payment timing, and any client-specific variation.

Build fees become non-refundable once work begins. Monthly Start fees are charged in advance from the Subscription Start Date. Under the Standard Build Plan, the first post-launch month of service is included; the $49 service fee is then charged monthly in advance beginning one calendar month after launch. Monthly fees, third-party purchases, and approved additional work are non-refundable once charged, ordered, or performed, except where required by law.

Overdue amounts may accrue a late charge at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate. After notice and any legally required cure period, Faircrest Studios may pause work, suspend hosting, disable forms or updates, withhold a transfer, or take the website offline until the account is current.

Clients retain their pre-existing business name, logo, trademarks, supplied text, and supplied images. Faircrest Studios retains its reusable templates, frameworks, code libraries, systems, methods, and development tools.

Under the Standard Build Plan, the client owns the final client-specific deliverables after all build fees are paid, subject to Faircrest and third-party materials. A domain controlled by Faircrest Studios may be transferred when the account is paid in full. Migration, platform conversion, external-server setup, and post-transfer support are not included.

Under the Monthly Start Plan, Faircrest Studios retains ownership and domain control unless the client completes the published buyout. If service ends without a buyout, the website may be taken offline and no website or domain transfer is due.

Faircrest Studios may use third-party hosting, domain, SSL, analytics, form, mapping, plugin, content-management, payment, scheduling, font, stock-media, and security services. Their terms and technical limits apply. Faircrest Studios does not control their outages, policy changes, discontinued features, security incidents, data loss, or price changes.

Clients are responsible for their business licenses, advertising claims, industry disclosures, privacy notices, cookie consent, terms of use, accessibility duties, and other laws applying to their business. Faircrest Studios does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory advice.

Common responsive and accessibility practices are used, but compliance with a particular standard or law is not guaranteed unless testing and remediation are expressly included in a signed scope.

Faircrest Studios does not guarantee leads, calls, bookings, sales, revenue, reviews, search rankings, traffic, conversion rates, advertising results, or any other business outcome. The website is designed to present the business professionally and make it easier for customers to get in touch.

When service ends, Faircrest Studios may stop hosting, maintenance, support, form delivery, backups, and related services. Any permitted transfer must be arranged before service ends. Hosted data may be deleted 30 days after termination, subject to legal retention duties and third-party rules.

When a business you refer launches with Faircrest Studios and begins paying for monthly service, your own monthly service fee is reduced by $10. The credit applies every month for as long as the referred business remains an active, paying customer, and ends if they cancel or their account lapses. Credits from multiple referrals stack, but your monthly fee can never go below $0.

Referral credits have no cash value and apply to the monthly service fee only, not to build fees or additional work. The referral must be named before the referred business signs; credits cannot be added retroactively.

Faircrest Studios may display a completed website, screenshots, business name, and a factual project description in its portfolio and marketing. A client may opt out of future promotional use in writing.

Faircrest Studios will provide the services with reasonable professional skill and care. Except for that promise and rights that cannot lawfully be limited, the services are supplied as available without a guarantee of uninterrupted operation, compatibility, or results.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Faircrest Studios is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits, revenue, leads, opportunities, search visibility, goodwill, or data. The signed agreement contains the complete liability cap, indemnity, governing-law, and dispute provisions.
