This Lease to Own Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between GTMDot, a sole proprietorship operated by Jesse Altman, Fulton County, Georgia ("GTMDot"), and the subscriber identified at checkout ("Client").
Client accepts this Agreement electronically by checking the acknowledgment box at checkout and completing the first monthly payment. A copy of this Agreement is transmitted to Client via email upon checkout completion. Client's checkout timestamp and IP address, as recorded by Stripe, constitute conclusive evidence of acceptance. This electronic acceptance is legally binding under the E-SIGN Act and applicable Georgia law.
This Agreement is supplemented by the GTMDot Terms & Conditions. In the event of any conflict, this Agreement controls.
"Deliverables" means the website-specific HTML, CSS, and JavaScript source files; all visual design elements, layouts, and styling created exclusively for Client's project; and all written content authored by GTMDot for Client's project. Deliverables do not include Third-Party Components.
"Third-Party Components" means any open-source libraries, frameworks, fonts, stock or licensed images, icons, or other assets incorporated into the Deliverables that are owned by parties other than GTMDot. Third-Party Components remain subject to their respective licenses, and Client assumes sole responsibility for compliance following Ownership Transfer.
"Preview Site" means the functional website built by GTMDot and hosted on Cloudflare Pages prior to Client's first payment, accessible via a unique subdomain and reachable through the Redemption Code delivered by direct mail.
"Redemption Code" means the unique 8-character alphanumeric code delivered via direct mail postcard that identifies and loads Client's Preview Site at checkout.
"Lease Period" means the period beginning on the date of Client's first payment and ending upon cancellation, Early Buyout, or Ownership Transfer, whichever occurs first.
"Ownership Transfer" means the assignment of all right, title, and interest in the Deliverables from GTMDot to Client, occurring either automatically upon completion of twelve (12) consecutive monthly payments or upon an Early Buyout as defined in Section 6.
GTMDot represents and warrants that it complies with the terms of service of all third-party platforms used in its operations, including but not limited to Cloudflare, Stripe, Poplar, Resend, and Google. GTMDot makes no representations in this Agreement regarding the specific methods by which it identifies prospective clients, which may change from time to time in GTMDot's sole discretion.
GTMDot develops a Preview Site for each identified prospect prior to any payment commitment. Preview Sites are hosted on Cloudflare Pages, subject to Cloudflare's terms of service. GTMDot delivers notice of each Preview Site via direct mail containing a personalized QR code and Redemption Code.
Because Preview Sites are developed using publicly available information, they may contain inaccuracies. GTMDot makes no representation that Preview Site content is complete or current. Inaccuracies are addressed through the onboarding process in Section 5.
If a prospect does not complete a first payment within ninety (90) calendar days of the postcard mail date, GTMDot will deactivate the Preview Site and retain all right, title, and interest in the Preview Site and all associated work product.
Ownership of the Deliverables remains with GTMDot throughout the Lease Period. During the Lease Period, GTMDot grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable sublicense to access and use the Deliverables solely for Client's own internal business purposes.
The Sublicense does not permit Client to: (a) sublicense, sell, assign, or transfer any rights in the Deliverables to any third party; (b) use the Deliverables for any purpose other than operating Client's own business website; or (c) represent that Client owns the Deliverables prior to Ownership Transfer.
The Sublicense is conditioned on Client's payment obligations remaining current. If Client's account is more than fifteen (15) calendar days past due, GTMDot may suspend the Sublicense upon written notice to Client's email address on file.
Upon Ownership Transfer, the Sublicense terminates automatically and is replaced by the full ownership rights described in Section 6.
Following receipt of the first payment, GTMDot will transmit an onboarding form to Client at the email address provided at checkout. Client is entitled to one (1) correction pass. To exercise this right, Client must submit the completed onboarding form within thirty (30) calendar days of checkout. GTMDot will implement corrections and deliver the updated live site within forty-eight (48) business hours of receiving the completed form.
The correction pass is limited to factual corrections and updates to existing content. It does not constitute a redesign right or a right to request new pages, structural changes, or additional functionality.
If Client does not submit the onboarding form within thirty (30) calendar days, the correction pass right is waived and GTMDot will deliver the site as-built.
Upon GTMDot's receipt of twelve (12) consecutive monthly payments totaling $3,588 (USD), Ownership Transfer occurs automatically. GTMDot will deliver all Deliverable source files within five (5) business days of the final payment.
Client may elect to accelerate Ownership Transfer at any time by paying the Early Buyout Amount. The Early Buyout Amount is calculated as $1,999 minus the sum of all monthly payments made to date, with a minimum of $0.00. If the sum of monthly payments made to date equals or exceeds $1,999, Ownership Transfer occurs automatically without any additional payment.
Illustrative calculations: After 3 payments ($897 paid): Early Buyout Amount = $1,102. After 6 payments ($1,794 paid): Early Buyout Amount = $205. After 7 payments ($2,093 paid): Early Buyout Amount = $0 — Ownership Transfer occurs automatically.
Upon Ownership Transfer, GTMDot assigns to Client all right, title, and interest in and to the Deliverables — including all copyrights, design rights, and intellectual property rights — worldwide and in perpetuity. This assignment is irrevocable.
Client may use, modify, transfer, sublicense, or build upon the Deliverables without restriction. GTMDot retains no continuing claim over the Deliverables following Ownership Transfer.
GTMDot expressly retains all proprietary internal tools, build systems, and Third-Party Components. GTMDot will provide Client with a written asset list identifying all Third-Party Components at the time of Ownership Transfer. Client is solely responsible for reviewing and complying with applicable Third-Party Component licenses.
Client may cancel at any time by written notice to hello@gtmdot.com. No cancellation penalty; no minimum subscription term. The Sublicense remains active through the end of the current billing period, after which the hosted site is deactivated.
Upon cancellation without a completed Early Buyout, GTMDot retains all right, title, and interest in the Deliverables. Client does not receive source files, design assets, or GTMDot-authored content.
Regardless of cancellation, Client retains: (a) Client's domain name; (b) all content, photographs, logos, and materials originally supplied by Client; and (c) Client's Google Business Profile listing, which GTMDot will not alter, claim, or access.
Client may exercise the Early Buyout option at the time of cancellation. GTMDot will deliver all Deliverable source files within five (5) business days of receiving the Early Buyout Amount.
Upon Ownership Transfer, the $299/month fee is no longer applicable. Hosting continues automatically at $99/month unless Client provides written notice of cancellation or intent to migrate. Post-Ownership Hosting includes the same services as described in the GTMDot Website Purchase Agreement, Section 7, and continues month-to-month.
Upon cancellation of Post-Ownership Hosting, GTMDot will deliver all Deliverable source files within five (5) business days.
The $299/month fee includes two (2) content updates per month. Content updates are changes to existing page content (text, photographs, hours, services, pricing). Requests submitted to hello@gtmdot.com will be completed within three (3) business days.
Out of scope (quoted separately): Additional updates beyond two (2) per month at $20 each; new pages, structural redesign at $50/hour; third-party integrations at $50/hour.
$149/month, month-to-month, cancel anytime. Includes four (4) SEO-optimized blog posts per month and weekly on-page optimization. GTMDot makes no representation regarding search engine rankings, traffic, or revenue outcomes.
GTMDot's Services rely on Cloudflare Pages, Stripe, Poplar, and Resend. GTMDot is not liable for service interruptions, data loss, policy changes, or discontinuation of services by any third-party platform. Stripe processes all payments; GTMDot does not store payment card data.
Client views the fully functional Preview Site prior to completing any payment. The first payment constitutes Client's acceptance of the Deliverables as previewed. Monthly payments are non-refundable after the applicable billing period begins.
Client represents and warrants that: (a) Client has full authority to enter into this Agreement; (b) all materials supplied by Client are owned by Client or properly licensed; and (c) their use does not infringe any third-party right.
Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GTMDot from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of or relating to: (a) content supplied by Client; (b) Client's use of the Deliverables; or (c) any breach by Client of this Agreement.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GTMDOT'S TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CLIENT TO GTMDOT AT THE TIME THE CLAIM ARISES. GTMDOT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
This limitation does not apply to damages caused by GTMDot's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. Disputes shall be resolved first by 30-day good-faith negotiation, then by binding arbitration administered by the AAA under Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Fulton County, Georgia.
This Agreement and the GTMDot Terms & Conditions constitute the entire agreement. In the event of conflict, this Agreement controls.
May not be modified except by written instrument signed by both parties.
Invalid provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable.
No failure to exercise any right shall constitute a waiver.
GTMDot may display Deliverables in its portfolio. Client may withdraw this right by written request within 90 days of delivery.
