Terms and conditions

These terms govern your use of attorneywebstudio.com and any website plan you buy from AttorneyWebStudio ("we", "us"). Paying the first monthly invoice is acceptance of these terms.

The agreement

The agreement is made of these terms, the plan you select on the pricing page at the time of purchase, and any written scope we agree by email. If they conflict, the written scope wins, then the plan, then these terms.

The service

We design, build, host, update and maintain a website for your firm on the plan you choose. After purchase you complete the onboarding form; anything missing can follow later by email or as a ticket in your client portal, and it does not hold up the build. What each plan includes is set out on the pricing page and forms part of this agreement. We are not a law firm, attorney or legal service provider. The website is a marketing and intake tool; the practice of law and everything your clients rely on you for is entirely yours, and nothing on the site creates an attorney-client relationship.

Fees and billing

Plans are billed monthly in advance at the price shown when you buy: currently $137, $297 plus AI usage, or $747 a month. Usage on the AI Engine is billed monthly in arrears at cost. Prices are in US dollars and exclude any taxes you are required to pay. We may change prices with 30 days written notice; the new price applies from your next billing date after the notice period.

The one-time build fee

Every plan carries a one-time build fee of $797. It is not charged when you sign up. It is invoiced after your site is live and you have confirmed you are satisfied with it, and it is due within 7 days of that invoice. If you cancel before the build starts, no build fee is charged. If you cancel after the build starts but before launch, we may invoice a proportion of the build fee reflecting the work completed.

Revisions and turnaround

5 revisions a month are included in every plan, requested from your client portal. A revision is a single change request of any size, with no limit on how much is included in one request. Additional revisions in the same month are $20 each, with no cap on how many and no hourly billing. We complete revisions within 2 to 5 working days of receiving everything we need from you. Unused revisions do not roll over.

Your content and our content

You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of the information you give us to publish: services, prices, qualifications, licenses, team details and any claims about your firm. Articles we write are general information for readers; they are not legal advice for any individual and every article states so. You are responsible for reviewing content against the professional conduct and attorney advertising rules of every jurisdiction in which you practice. You may ask us to correct or remove any article at any time.

Ownership and domains

While your plan is active you have a license to use the site. Content you supply stays yours. Design, code and templates we create stay ours, and we may reuse patterns across clients. One domain is included free for as long as your plan is active: if you already have one, we point it at your site; if you do not, we register one in your firm's name through Cloudflare Registrar or Spaceship. Either way the domain is registered to you, not to us, and we transfer access whenever you ask. Hosting on Cloudflare's network, including SSL, CDN, DDoS protection and bandwidth, is included in your monthly fee for as long as the plan is active. On cancellation we provide an export of your content and articles within 14 days.

The AI Engine

On plans that include it, the AI receptionist, chat and messaging agents answer questions about your firm, take inquiry details and book appointments. They state that they are not attorneys, are configured not to give legal advice and hand anything that would amount to advice to a person at your firm. You review the scripts before launch. Text messaging requires carrier registration (A2P 10DLC), which we file for you; carrier fees are passed through at cost. You are responsible for consent, opt-out, confidentiality and record-keeping obligations that apply to your own communications with clients and prospective clients.

Your responsibilities

• Give us accurate information and respond to our requests during the build.
• Own or have the right to use any logo, photograph or text you give us.
• Comply with the attorney advertising, licensing and professional conduct rules that apply to your firm in every jurisdiction in which it practises.
• Pay invoices when due.

Cancellation

You may cancel at any time by emailing us at least 2 business days before your next invoice date, during business hours of 9:00 to 17:00 Central, Monday to Friday, excluding US public holidays. A cancellation email sent outside those hours is treated as received at the start of the next business day, so an email sent over a weekend does not give 2 business days' notice ahead of a Monday or Tuesday invoice. If notice is given in time, no further invoice is charged and the site stays live through the end of the month already paid for. If notice is late, the next invoice is charged and cancellation takes effect at the end of that billing month; the current month is not refunded. We may suspend the site if an invoice is more than 14 days overdue and cancel the agreement if it is more than 30 days overdue. See the refund policy for what is and is not refundable.

Guarantees and their limits

We guarantee a Google PageSpeed score of 90+ on mobile and desktop for pages we build and host. If a page falls below that because of our work, we fix it at no charge. We guarantee that your site starts ranking for local searches in your area within 3 to 5 months of launch; if it has not, we continue the search work at no additional charge until it does. Neither guarantee covers changes you or third parties make, content you ask us to publish against our advice, or ranking for terms outside your area or services.

Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability under this agreement in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in that period. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss arising from third-party services such as hosting, domain registrars, payment processors, CRMs or messaging carriers. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

General

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, and disputes are resolved in its courts. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable the rest stays in force. Notices are sent by email to the addresses each party uses in normal correspondence. Questions: hello@attorneywebstudio.com.
