Terms of Service

The Short Version

These terms cover using setrik.com and working with me. When you hire me, we sign a Service Agreement that spells out the details for your project, and that agreement is what applies to our work together. You're never locked in: there's no minimum term on any plan, and if you leave, you take your website with you.

Who I Am

Setrik Web Design is a small business based in Olney, Texas, that builds WordPress websites, hosts them, and helps small business owners get found on Google. "I," "me," and "my" in these terms mean Setrik Web Design. "You" means you, whether you're visiting this site or you're a client.

Using This Website

The articles and pages on this site are general information to help you make good decisions about your website. They aren't advice for your specific business, and things change: Google updates, tools change, prices go up. If you need help with your own situation, I'm happy to talk it through.

Please don't use this site to send spam, try to break into it, or copy it to pass off as your own.

Prices and Quotes

Prices on this site show what my work usually costs. Every website is quoted in a written proposal after we talk, because every business needs something a little different. The price in your proposal is the one that applies. If the price of a plan you're on ever changes, I'll email you at least 30 days before the change, and you can cancel instead.

Working With Me

When you hire me, we sign one Service Agreement that covers every service you choose, plus a proposal for each project with its exact pages, features, and price. Here are the main points.

Paying for a website. Website builds are paid in three parts: half to start, 40% when the site is finished and ready for your final review (whether or not you're ready to launch), and the last 10% after it goes live.

Changes during the build. Changes are part of the process. Within the scope of your proposal, we keep going until the site is right and you're happy with it. Anything outside the scope is quoted first, and I start only after you approve it.

If a project is waiting on you. It simply pauses. It doesn't expire, and I won't bill more than the deposit while it's paused, until the site is finished.

Monthly plans. Plans are billed each month in advance, and there are no late fees. If an invoice is 15 days past due, I pause work until it's paid, and your site stays online.

Other work. Work outside your plan is quoted before I start.

Cancelling and Leaving

There's no minimum term on any plan, and you don't need to give notice. You can cancel any time by email or phone. Your plan runs through the month you've already paid for, with no further charges.

If you leave my hosting, you can hire me to move your site to your new host, or I'll email you a link to a full backup of your site: all files, the database, plugins, images, and everything else, ready to install with any host. You'll need your own licenses for the premium plugins on your site, and for the stock photos (or you can replace them with your own). You keep your domain name, your admin login, and your own photos and content.

Who Owns What

Once your website is paid in full, you own it: the design made for you and the content written for you. Your own photos, logos, and text always stay yours. Your domain name is registered in your name, and you have your own admin login. Stock photos are licensed for use on your site, not owned.

No Guarantees on Search Results

Google and other search engines decide where websites show up, and they change their systems all the time. I do the work that helps your site get found, but nobody can honestly promise specific rankings, traffic, calls, or sales, and I won't.

Other Websites

Some pages link to other websites and services, like Google. I don't control them, and their own terms and privacy policies apply when you visit them.

The Content on This Site

The articles, pages, and design of setrik.com belong to Setrik Web Design. You're welcome to share links to them and quote a sentence or two with a link back. Please don't copy whole articles or pages.

Limits

I work hard to keep this site accurate and online, but I can't promise it will always be available or error-free. I'm not responsible for losses that come from using the general information on this site. For clients, the limits of my responsibility are set out in our Service Agreement.

Privacy

How I handle the information you share through this site is explained in how setrik.com handles your information.

Texas Law

These terms are governed by Texas law. If we ever disagree about something, I'd like us to talk it through first. If we can't settle it, any case will be heard in Young County, Texas.

Changes to These Terms

If I update these terms, I'll change the date at the top of this page. If you're a client and a change affects our agreement, I'll email you at least 30 days before it applies.
