Read it. Sign it. Underway.

1. SERVICES NWC will design, build, host, and maintain Client's website, and/or provide AI agent services, per the plan(s) selected above. AI agent services are scoped in a separate one-page addendum signed by both parties.

2. FEES & BILLING The build fee is due at signing, paid by card via Stripe. Monthly fees are billed automatically to Client's card on file via Stripe, beginning at launch and renewing monthly. The Anchor includes up to two (2) hours of content edits per month; additional work is billed at $125/hour with Client's prior approval. No refunds for partial months.

3. TERM & CANCELLATION This Agreement runs month to month. Either party may cancel with written notice (email suffices). Hosting and services continue for thirty (30) days after the final paid period, after which the site is taken offline.

4. OWNERSHIP Client owns its domain name (registered in Client's name at all times), its trademarks, and all content and materials it provides. NWC owns the website code, design system, templates, and tooling. Upon cancellation, Client may purchase a complete copy of the site source for a flat $1,500. Client grants NWC a license to use Client's content solely to perform the services.

5. MARKETING RIGHTS Client grants NWC the ongoing right to identify Client by name and logo; to display, link to, and reproduce the work NWC creates (including screenshots and live links); and to describe the work and non-confidential results in NWC's portfolio, website, case studies, proposals, and marketing materials, in any medium. This applies to all deliverables and services NWC provides under this Agreement, including AI agent services. NWC will never disclose Client's confidential information, customer data, or non-public financials. Client may withdraw this permission for materials created in the future with thirty (30) days' written notice; materials already published may remain.

6. SEARCH & PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER NWC builds to current search-engine best practices but does not control Google or any search platform, and makes no guarantee of specific rankings, traffic, or revenue.

7. AI SERVICES If selected, AI agents operate in supervised mode — Client approves outbound actions — until Client authorizes autonomous operation in writing, task by task. NWC maintains logs of agent actions, available to Client on request. Client remains responsible for its business decisions, pricing, and customer commitments.

8. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES Client will provide timely content, approvals, and accurate business information; keep its domain registration active and paid; and warrant that materials it provides do not infringe third-party rights.

9. LIABILITY NWC's total liability under this Agreement is capped at the fees Client paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits. Except as expressly stated here, services are provided "as is."
