Terms of Service
1. Acceptance
By submitting a request through this site or engaging StateCollegeWebsite.com for any service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
2. Services
StateCollegeWebsite.com offers website design and development, SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) audits, and website hosting and maintenance. Specific deliverables, timelines, and pricing are agreed upon individually before work begins.
3. Payment
Pricing for standard packages is listed on this site. Custom work is quoted individually. Full payment (or an agreed deposit) is required before development begins. Recurring hosting fees are billed monthly and must be current for service to remain active.
4. Refunds
Audit services ($99 / $249): If you do not receive at least one actionable finding from your audit, you are entitled to a full refund — no questions asked.
Website builds: Refunds are not available once development has begun. If work has not yet started, a full refund will be issued upon written request.
Hosting: Month-to-month — cancel anytime. No refunds for partial months already billed.
5. Client Responsibilities
You are responsible for providing accurate content, images, and feedback in a timely manner. Delays caused by late client responses may extend project timelines. You represent that you own or have rights to any content you provide to us.
6. Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of full payment, you own all final deliverables produced for your project. We retain the right to display the work in our portfolio and demo pages unless you request otherwise in writing.
Third-party assets (stock photos, fonts, plugins) remain subject to their respective licenses. We will identify any such assets included in your project.
7. Limitation of Liability
Our total liability for any claim arising from services rendered is limited to the amount you paid for the specific service in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind, including lost revenue or business opportunities.
8. Termination
Either party may terminate an ongoing engagement with 30 days written notice. Hosting services terminate immediately upon non-payment after a 14-day grace period. We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service at our discretion.
