These Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") govern your use of GTMDot's website design and related services ("Services"). By submitting a request for a preview site, making a payment, or otherwise engaging GTMDot, 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.
GTMDot designs and develops custom websites for local service businesses. Our process includes:
A one-time payment of $1,999 (USD) grants you full ownership of the website design, source code, and all content created by GTMDot for your project ("Deliverables"). Ownership transfers to you upon receipt of payment in full.
A recurring monthly payment of $299 (USD) grants you a license to use the website on GTMDot's managed hosting ("Lease"). Hosting and maintenance are included in the monthly fee. There is no minimum term and no cancellation penalty.
Optional for Own It Now 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.
Four (4) SEO-optimized blog posts per month written around your services and local search terms. Posts are published to your site. You own all content produced under this add-on.
Includes monthly Google Business Profile updates, citation building, and ranking monitoring for agreed-upon target keywords.
Your domain name is registered in your name and on your account at all times, regardless of plan or payment status. GTMDot will never hold your domain hostage or transfer it out of your control. Domain registration fees are passed through at cost.
The preview site is a demonstration built for your review. No intellectual property rights are transferred until payment is received. GTMDot retains full ownership of all preview work until a launch payment is made. We reserve the right to use preview sites as portfolio examples unless you request otherwise in writing.
Each engagement includes one (1) free round of revisions within seven (7) calendar days of the preview site delivery. A revision round means consolidated feedback provided in a single communication resulting in one round of changes. Additional revision rounds are billed at $50/hour.
If you have an existing website, GTMDot will migrate your site to the new platform 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.
Upon receipt of full payment (Pay Once) or completion of 12 monthly payments (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 effective worldwide and perpetual.
GTMDot retains ownership of any proprietary tools, templates, or frameworks used in the build that are not specific to your project. Third-party libraries (Tailwind CSS, Google Fonts, etc.) remain subject to their respective open-source licenses.
You represent that any materials, copy, photos, logos, or content you provide to GTMDot are owned by you or properly licensed, and that their use does not infringe any third-party rights.
Payments are processed via Stripe. By providing payment information you authorize GTMDot to charge you in accordance with your selected plan. Monthly payments are due on the same calendar date each month. Accounts more than 14 days past due may result in suspension of hosted services. Ownership does not transfer until all required payments are received.
Because you review and approve the site before paying, GTMDot does not offer refunds after payment. If you are dissatisfied with the preview, you may walk away at no charge before any payment is made. After payment, GTMDot will work in good faith to resolve any legitimate concerns through the revision process.
GTMDot may integrate or recommend third-party services (Google Analytics, HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, CookieYes, Stripe, Cloudflare, etc.). You are responsible for maintaining your own accounts and complying with those services' terms. GTMDot is not liable for any downtime, data loss, or policy changes by third-party providers.
GTMDot will keep your business information confidential and will not share it with third parties except as required to provide the Services (e.g., domain registrars, hosting providers). Preview sites may be shared for portfolio purposes unless you request otherwise in writing within 7 days of delivery.
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 IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
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.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GTMDot, its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Deliverables; (b) your violation of this Agreement; or (c) any content or materials you provide to GTMDot.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in DeKalb County, Georgia, and each party consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Before filing any legal claim, both parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation for at least 30 days.
GTMDot reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Existing clients will be notified of material changes via email. Continued use of Services after notice constitutes acceptance of updated Terms.
