These Terms & Conditions ("Agreement") govern your use of GTMDot's website design and related services ("Services"). By checking the acknowledgment box at checkout and completing payment, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.
GTMDot is operated by Jesse Altman, based in DeKalb County, Georgia ("GTMDot," "we," "us," or "our"). References to "you" or "Client" mean the individual or business entity engaging our Services.
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a plan-specific use agreement (the GTMDot Website Purchase Use Agreement or the GTMDot Lease to Own Use Agreement), the plan-specific agreement controls.
GTMDot builds custom websites speculatively for local service businesses, using publicly available information (including Google Business profiles, online directories, and publicly posted reviews) to design and develop a fully functional website before any purchase is made.
GTMDot delivers notice of each preview site to the intended recipient via direct mail. The mailer includes a QR code linking directly to the completed website. There is no waiting period — when a recipient scans the QR code, their site is already built, live, and ready to claim.
GTMDot does not require you to submit a request or fill out a form to get a site built. Your site exists before you ever hear from us. You're simply deciding whether to claim it.
Because sites are built from publicly available information, they may contain minor inaccuracies. These are corrected through the onboarding process described in Section 3.
If a recipient does not claim their preview site within ninety (90) calendar days of the date on the direct mail piece, GTMDot will take the preview site offline and retain full ownership of all associated design, code, and content.
A one-time payment of $1,999 (USD) transfers full ownership of the website design, source code, and all content created by GTMDot for your project (collectively, the "Deliverables") to you. Ownership transfers upon receipt of payment in full. Full terms are governed by the GTMDot Website Purchase Use Agreement.
A recurring monthly payment of $299 (USD) grants you a license to use the website on GTMDot's managed hosting. Hosting and maintenance are included in the monthly fee. Full terms are governed by the GTMDot Lease to Own Use Agreement.
Key terms of the Pay Monthly plan:
Optional for Pay Once clients. Includes managed hosting on Cloudflare's global network, uptime monitoring, security patches, and two (2) content updates per month. Additional content updates are billed at $20 each. New functionality is quoted at $50/hour.
This plan activates at checkout or at any time after purchase and continues month-to-month until cancelled. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Client retains their Deliverables regardless of hosting status.
Available to all active GTMDot clients. Includes:
This add-on runs month-to-month with no minimum commitment and may be cancelled at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. GTMDot makes no guarantee of specific search rankings or traffic outcomes. SEO results depend on factors outside GTMDot's control, including search engine algorithm changes and competitive market conditions.
The Content & SEO add-on requires an active GTMDot hosting plan (either the $299/month Pay Monthly plan or the $99/month Hosting & Maintenance plan). If hosting is cancelled, this add-on is automatically cancelled as well.
After checkout, GTMDot sends Client an onboarding form to confirm business details and identify any inaccuracies in the preview site (e.g., phone number, team members, photos, services). GTMDot will implement all requested corrections and deliver the updated live site within forty-eight (48) business hours of receiving the completed onboarding form.
Each engagement includes one (1) correction pass based on the completed onboarding form. This pass covers factual inaccuracies and missing information only — it is not a redesign or change in scope.
If Client does not return the onboarding form within thirty (30) calendar days of checkout, GTMDot will deliver the site in its current form and the correction pass will be considered waived.
Requests that constitute a change in scope (new pages, new features, structural redesign) are outside this Agreement and may be quoted separately at $50/hour.
Your domain name is registered in your name and on your account at all times, regardless of plan or payment status. GTMDot will not withhold transfer of, assert any claim over, or use your domain name without your explicit written permission. Domain registration fees are passed through at cost.
This Agreement and all plan-specific use agreements are accepted electronically. By checking the acknowledgment box at checkout and completing payment, Client confirms they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the applicable agreement(s). No handwritten or electronic signature is required.
A copy of the applicable agreement(s) will be emailed to Client at the email address provided at checkout. Client's checkout timestamp and IP address are recorded as evidence of acceptance. GTMDot's records of the transaction shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the date, time, and fact of acceptance.
This electronic acceptance constitutes a legally binding agreement under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and applicable Georgia law.
Upon receipt of full payment (Pay Once) or upon automatic ownership transfer after twelve (12) consecutive monthly payments or an early buyout (Pay Monthly), GTMDot assigns to Client all right, title, and interest in and to the Deliverables, including all copyrights, design rights, and source code. This assignment is worldwide, perpetual, and irrevocable.
GTMDot retains ownership of any proprietary internal tools, scripts, or build systems not specific to Client's project, and any general design patterns or methodologies not created exclusively for Client. Third-party libraries (e.g., Google Fonts, open-source JavaScript frameworks) remain subject to their respective open-source licenses.
At the time of delivery, GTMDot will provide Client with a written asset list identifying any third-party licensed elements included in the Deliverables, along with the applicable license terms for each.
Client represents and warrants that any materials, copy, photos, logos, or content provided to GTMDot are owned by Client or properly licensed, and that their use does not infringe any third-party rights.
Clients on an active hosting plan receive two (2) content updates per month. Content updates are defined as changes to existing text, photos, hours, services listed, pricing, or similar factual updates to existing pages. Requests should be submitted in writing to hello@gtmdot.com and will be completed within three (3) business days.
The following are billed separately:
If Client has an existing website, GTMDot will migrate content to the new site as part of the standard engagement at no additional charge. Existing blog post migration is available at $7.50 per post for up to 25 posts, or a flat quote for larger volumes.
Existing copy may be rewritten, adapted, or replaced for SEO and quality purposes. GTMDot will not reproduce verbatim content that is keyword-stuffed, outdated, or legally problematic.
Payments are processed via Stripe. By providing payment information, Client authorizes GTMDot to charge the applicable plan fees in accordance with this Agreement. Monthly payments are due on the same calendar date each month.
Accounts more than fifteen (15) calendar days past due may result in suspension of hosted services, with written notice to Client's email address on file. Ownership does not transfer until all required payments are received.
Because Client views the fully built site before making any payment, GTMDot does not offer refunds after payment is received. If Client does not wish to proceed after viewing the preview site, Client may decline to purchase — there is no obligation and no charge.
After payment, GTMDot will complete the correction pass described in Section 3 and work in good faith to resolve any legitimate concerns.
GTMDot may integrate or recommend third-party services (including but not limited to Google Analytics, HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Stripe, and Cloudflare). Client is responsible for maintaining their own accounts with such services and complying with their respective terms. GTMDot is not liable for any downtime, data loss, or policy changes by third-party providers.
GTMDot will keep Client's business information confidential and will not share it with third parties except as required to provide the Services (e.g., domain registrars, hosting providers).
GTMDot retains the right to display completed Deliverables in its portfolio as examples of its work. Client may opt out of this at any time by submitting a written request to hello@gtmdot.com, provided the request is received before GTMDot's public display of the work, or within ninety (90) days of delivery, whichever is later.
Client represents and warrants that any materials, copy, photos, logos, or other content provided to GTMDot are owned by Client or properly licensed, and that their use does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GTMDot and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) content provided by Client; (b) Client's use or misuse of the Deliverables; or (c) Client's breach of any representation or obligation under this Agreement.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GTMDOT'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT 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, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability cap in this Section does not apply to damages arising from GTMDot's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Before initiating any legal action, both parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith written negotiation for at least thirty (30) calendar days following written notice of the dispute.
If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), with proceedings conducted in DeKalb County, Georgia. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
GTMDot reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Existing clients will be notified of material changes via email at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect. Continued use of Services after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Changes do not apply retroactively to plan-specific use agreements already accepted by Client at checkout.
This Agreement, together with any applicable plan-specific use agreement (GTMDot Website Purchase Use Agreement or GTMDot Lease to Own Use Agreement), constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior communications, representations, or agreements, whether written or oral. In the event of any conflict, the plan-specific agreement controls.
