Terms and Conditions

By becoming a subscriber of this site you are agreeing to abide by our contract which is as follows:

Introduction
We’ll always do our best to fulfill your needs and meet your expectations, but it’s important to have things written down so that we both know what’s what, who should do what, and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong. In this contract, you won’t find any complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. We’ve no desire to trick you into signing something that you might later regret. What we do want is what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.

In a Nutshell
You are hiring 180 sites to build your business a new website for the agreed-upon price for a duration of 24 months. After 24 months your contractual obligation is completed, at which time you will roll into our month-to-month management plan or you may take your website and leave 180 sites. If you choose not to cancel after 24 months, you will continue to use our services month to month for the cost of $150 per month which can be canceled at any time. 

What do Both Parties Agree to

The Client
You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company, or your organization. You’ll give us the assets and information we tell you we need to complete the project. You’ll do this when we ask and provide it in the formats we ask for. You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound to keep the project moving speedily. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out by the terms of the subscription billing.

180 Sites
We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll endeavor to meet every deadline that’s set and on top of that, we’ll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.

Project Timeline
Our typical development time is approximately four to six weeks. This timeframe may fluctuate, for a specific deadline please consult your project manager. Add-on services may add up to 1 business day onto our project timeline per add-on item. Custom websites will take longer typically adding an additional 2 weeks to your timeline. Typical correspondence from you the client should be no more than one business day. Any wait time beyond this may add additional time to the project being launched. Our development time is accounting for our deliverability but does not account for any additional time added to the project by the client requesting revisions or lacking in communication. These extenuating factors will delay your project timeframe.

What Will be Included in the Website Build
The predetermined amount of pages your package contains (additional pages and content writing are an additional fee) on-page SEO, mobile/tablet optimization, custom contact forms. Our custom-made websites will allow customers to ask for limited revisions or make design changes. However, design changes may not be requested from our template packages, these designs are already established.

Revisions
If you are purchasing a custom site upgrade you may request up to three rounds of revisions of our initial design concept. Once the initial design concept (the home page) is approved, the rest of the website will be built with the same design and functionality. Any revisions requested after the initial design concept has been accepted will invoke a fee which will be determined by the scope and complexity that is requested. We will determine the scope and provide you a quote necessary for the requested revision, to which you may approve or request changes to the scope in order to alter the quote. All website packages by default are based on our templated designs unless a custom design upgrade is purchased. Template sites may not have design revisions, the design is already set in stone. You may, however, request changes to media, colors, fonts, or content but you may not request changes to the design layout.

This ongoing service is month to month and can be canceled at any time once your 24-month commitment is completed.

Early Termination
Any contracts that are terminated before the final 24-month agreement is completed will be given a cancellation fee of 50% of your remaining balance and your website will be terminated. If you wish to cancel your contract and take your website to another provider the remaining balance of your contract must be paid in full, then will we package up your website files and transfer them over to you. If you cancel your billing before your 24-month commitment is completed, or dispute any monthly payment to 180 Sites, this will voluntarily cancel your contract with 180 Sites and the early termination clause will be invoked immediately.

Late Payments

Moving Forward After the Initial Contract is Completed
Once your contract is up your monthly billing will automatically drop to the base minimum of $150 per month. This is our month-to-month ongoing website hosting and maintenance cost. If you wish to cancel your billing after the 24 month period you are free to do so. If you choose not to cancel you will automatically continue in our month-to-month ongoing website maintenance plan. Here are the two possible actions you may choose after your 24-month plan is completed.

Option 1.

If 180 Sites ends your contract you are not liable for any cancellation fees and you are free from all clauses within this contract. If we do decide to end our agreement we will cancel your billing and shut off your website.
