Terms of Service
The terms governing your use of this website and Local Web Co.'s website design services.
Last updated: September 9, 2026
Agreement to Terms
By using this website or engaging Local Web Co. for website design or Google Business Profile services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use this site or our services.
Our Services
Local Web Co. builds custom static websites for local businesses on a flat-rate, one-time-pricing basis, and offers Google Business Profile management services. The specific scope, page count, timeline, and price for a given project are agreed upon directly with the client in writing before work begins, separate from the general pricing shown on this site.
Payment Terms
A deposit is required before work begins on any project, with the remaining balance due before the final website is launched or delivered. Deposits are non-refundable once work has started, since they secure time and resources set aside for your project. If a balance goes unpaid, Local Web Co. may pause work, withhold delivery of final files, or suspend hosting and support until payment is received. Late or missed payments do not relieve you of the obligation to pay for work completed.
Ownership
Once a project is paid in full, the client owns the final delivered website files. Until full payment is received, all work product remains the property of Local Web Co. Local Web Co. retains the right to display completed work, including screenshots and links, in its own portfolio and marketing materials unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Revisions & Scope Changes
Each project includes a reasonable round of revisions as part of the agreed scope. Requests that go beyond the original scope — additional pages, new features, or significant redesign after work has begun — are billed separately and require agreement before that additional work starts.
No Guarantee of Results
Local Web Co. builds websites using local SEO and AI-search best practices, but makes no guarantee of specific search rankings, website traffic, leads, sales, or income. Results depend on factors outside our control, including competition, market conditions, and ongoing changes to how search engines and AI platforms rank and surface content. No refund or compensation is owed based on results achieved or not achieved after launch.
Website Provided "As Is"
Your website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Local Web Co. does not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every browser, device, or third-party platform, including those we don't control such as hosting providers, payment processors, or analytics tools.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Local Web Co.'s total liability for any claim arising from our services or this website is limited to the amount actually paid by the client for the specific service giving rise to the claim. Local Web Co. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including lost profits, lost business, or lost data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Client Responsibilities & Indemnification
You are responsible for reviewing and approving all content, images, and copy before your site launches, and for having the rights to use anything you provide us (photos, logos, trademarks, testimonials, and written content). You agree to indemnify and hold Local Web Co. harmless from any claim, loss, or damage — including reasonable attorney's fees — arising from content you provide, your use of the website, or your violation of these terms or any third party's rights.
Third-Party Services
Our sites and services rely on third-party providers, including hosting (Netlify), form handling (Formspree), analytics (Google Analytics), domain registrars, and payment processors (which may include Klarna, Stripe, Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App). Local Web Co. is not responsible for outages, pricing changes, policy changes, or data handling by any third-party service.
Termination
Either party may end a project before completion. If you cancel after work has begun, the deposit is retained and any additional work completed up to that point becomes due and payable. Local Web Co. may decline or end a project at its discretion, in which case any amount paid beyond work actually completed will be returned.
Force Majeure
Local Web Co. is not liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including outages of third-party services, natural disasters, illness, or other events preventing normal business operations.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will first be addressed through good-faith direct communication between the parties before any formal action is taken.
Entire Agreement
These terms, together with any written project agreement signed by both parties, make up the entire agreement between you and Local Web Co. regarding our services. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in full effect.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms at any time by posting the revised version on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of our services after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
