Monthly License Agreement

Pay Monthly Plan — $99 first month, then $299/month

Last Updated: March 2026

This Monthly License Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between GTMDot, operated by Jesse Altman, DeKalb County, Georgia ("GTMDot," "we," "us," or "our"), and the individual or business entity that accepts this Agreement at checkout ("Client," "you," or "your"). By checking the acknowledgment box at checkout and completing payment, Client agrees to be bound by this Agreement. Electronic acceptance is legally binding under the E-SIGN Act and applicable Georgia law.

This Agreement governs the Pay Monthly plan exclusively. If you are purchasing the Own It Now plan, the GTMDot Website Purchase Agreement applies instead.

Section 1. Definitions

As used in this Agreement:

Section 2. Site Development

GTMDot develops a custom Preview Site for Client using publicly available business information, including but not limited to Google Business Profile data, publicly accessible directories, and existing web presence. GTMDot will deliver a link to the Preview Site prior to any payment obligation. Client has no obligation to proceed with payment until Client has reviewed the Preview Site.

If Client does not complete a purchase within ninety (90) calendar days of the postcard or email delivery date, GTMDot may deactivate the Preview Site. GTMDot retains all right, title, and interest in unclaimed Preview Sites and all associated work product.

Section 3. License Grant

Subject to Client's timely payment of the monthly subscription fee ($99 for the first month, then $299/month thereafter), GTMDot grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Deliverables solely for Client's own business website during the active subscription period.

GTMDot retains all right, title, and interest in the Deliverables, including all intellectual property rights, at all times during the subscription period. This Agreement does not transfer ownership of the Deliverables to Client. Client receives a license to use the site, not ownership of it.

This license terminates automatically upon cancellation or non-payment. Upon termination, Client's right to use the Deliverables ceases and GTMDot will deactivate the hosted site at the end of the current billing period.

If Client later wishes to purchase a permanent exclusive license to the Deliverables, Client may do so at any time for a one-time fee of $1,999. Prior monthly payments do not apply as credit toward this purchase.

Section 4. Onboarding and Correction Pass

Following checkout, GTMDot will transmit an onboarding form to Client at the email address provided at checkout. Client is responsible for completing the onboarding form promptly and providing accurate business information.

Client is entitled to one (1) correction pass following the initial site launch. The correction pass must be requested within thirty (30) calendar days of the site's live date. GTMDot will complete the requested corrections within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of the completed correction request. The correction pass is limited in scope to changes to existing content (text, images, hours, services, contact information). Structural changes, new pages, or new functionality are not included in the correction pass.

Section 5. Included Services

While Client's subscription is active, GTMDot will provide the following services at no additional charge:

The following services are available at additional cost:

Section 6. Content Updates

"Content updates" are defined as changes to existing page content, including text, photographs, business hours, listed services, or pricing information. Requests must be submitted in writing to hello@gtmdot.com and will be completed within three (3) business days of submission.

The following are not content updates and are subject to additional charges at the rates set forth in Section 5: new pages, new sections, new functionality, third-party integrations, and structural or layout changes.

Section 7. Fees and Billing

The initial monthly fee for the first billing period is $99 (USD). From the second billing period onward, the recurring monthly fee is $299 (USD), charged automatically via Stripe on the same calendar date each month. Both the introductory rate and the ongoing rate are disclosed at checkout before payment is collected. GTMDot reserves the right to modify the ongoing monthly fee upon thirty (30) calendar days' written notice to Client. Continued use of the Services following notice of a fee change constitutes acceptance of the new fee.

If a scheduled payment fails, GTMDot will make reasonable attempts to notify Client. If payment is not resolved within five (5) business days, GTMDot may suspend the hosted site until payment is received. If payment remains unresolved after thirty (30) days, this Agreement terminates and the site is deactivated.

Section 8. Cancellation

8.1 Client Cancellation. Client may cancel this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to hello@gtmdot.com or by canceling through Client's billing portal. There is no cancellation fee and no minimum subscription period. Client's site remains live through the end of the billing period already paid for. At the end of that period, the site is deactivated and no further charges are made.

8.2 GTMDot Termination. GTMDot may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) calendar days' written notice to Client. Upon termination by GTMDot without cause, GTMDot will deliver the site source files to Client within five (5) business days of the termination effective date.

8.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination for any reason, Client's license to use the Deliverables terminates. GTMDot retains all right, title, and interest in the Deliverables. Source files are delivered to Client only in the case of GTMDot-initiated termination as described in Section 8.2. Client does not receive source files upon Client-initiated cancellation.

8.4 What Client Retains. Regardless of the reason for termination, Client retains full ownership and control of: (a) Client's domain name, (b) all content, photographs, and materials supplied by Client to GTMDot, and (c) Client's Google Business Profile listing and any other third-party accounts set up in Client's name.

Section 9. Optional Buyout

At any time during this Agreement, Client may elect to purchase full ownership of the Deliverables by paying the one-time purchase price of $1,999 (USD). No credit will be applied for monthly payments previously made. Monthly payments represent payment for access and services rendered, not toward any ownership interest. Upon receipt of the $1,999 buyout payment, this Agreement terminates and is replaced by the GTMDot Website Purchase Agreement.

Section 10. Domain Ownership

Client's domain name is registered in Client's name at all times, regardless of subscription status. GTMDot holds no interest in Client's domain and will not interfere with Client's control or transfer of the domain under any circumstance. Domain registration fees, where applicable, are charged at GTMDot's actual cost without markup.

Section 11. No Refund Policy

GTMDot does not offer refunds after Client has approved and paid for the Preview Site. By completing checkout, Client acknowledges having had the opportunity to review the Preview Site and confirm it meets Client's requirements before payment.

Section 12. Intellectual Property

GTMDot retains all right, title, and interest in the Deliverables during and after the subscription period, unless Client purchases a permanent license under Section 3. GTMDot's work product does not include Third-Party Components, which remain subject to their respective licenses. Client assumes responsibility for compliance with applicable Third-Party Component licenses.

Client represents and warrants that all materials, photographs, logos, copy, and other content supplied by Client to GTMDot are owned by Client or properly licensed, and that their use does not infringe any third-party right.

Section 13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GTMDot's total liability to Client for any claims arising under or related to this Agreement shall not exceed the total monthly fees paid by Client in the three (3) months immediately preceding the claim. GTMDot shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, regardless of the cause of action or the theory of liability.

Section 14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with proceedings conducted in DeKalb County, Georgia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 15. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the GTMDot Terms and Conditions located at gtmdot.com/terms, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Pay Monthly plan and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, or agreements. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Terms and Conditions, this Agreement controls.

GTMDot reserves the right to update this Agreement with reasonable notice to Client. Continued use of the service after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
