Read it. Sign it. Underway.

1. SERVICES NWC will design, build, host, and maintain Client's website, may manage Client's Google Business Profile and local listings as a manager while Client remains the owner, 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 plus the first month are due at signing, paid by card via Stripe; the monthly plan then renews automatically each month. The Anchor includes up to two (2) hours of content edits per month; The Current includes up to five (5) hours at priority turnaround. Additional work is billed in two-hour blocks at $100 each, with Client's prior approval. Each plan includes domain management (The Anchor up to three domains, The Current up to ten); additional domains are $40 per year each. No refunds for partial months. If a payment fails, NWC may pause the services after reasonable notice and resume once the account is current; Client's domain and content remain Client's throughout.

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 trademarks and all content and materials it provides. NWC may register and hold Client's domains on Client's behalf for ease of management, and Client may take ownership of and transfer them away at any time, at no cost. NWC owns the website code, design system, templates, and tooling. Client grants NWC a license to use Client's content solely to perform the services. On cancellation, Client keeps its domain and content, and the NWC-built site is taken offline per the Term and Cancellation section.

5. CREDENTIALS & ACCESS Client may grant NWC access to its accounts and platforms (domains, hosting, Google Business Profile, analytics, social, and similar) so NWC can perform the services. NWC will handle Client's credentials and access with reasonable care and use them only to perform the services. Client is responsible for the security of its own accounts and for keeping them and any payment methods active and valid. The services also rely on third-party platforms for hosting, payments, search, email, and AI, whose availability and terms are outside NWC's control. NWC is not responsible for losses, breaches, outages, or interruptions arising from third-party platforms, from Client's own accounts or security practices, or from credentials compromised outside NWC's reasonable control.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. INDEMNIFICATION Client will indemnify NWC against claims arising from Client's business, products, services, content, or instructions, including actions an AI agent takes on Client's behalf with Client's authorization. NWC will indemnify Client against claims that NWC's original website code infringes a third party's intellectual property.

10. 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.

11. 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."
