Legal & Policies

The rules of the road for working with Web Studio Place — your privacy, our terms, and how refunds work.

Please note: These policies are provided as a general starting point in plain language. They are not legal advice. Before relying on them, have a licensed attorney review and adapt them to your business and state. Replace every bracketed item (like [Business Legal Name]) with your real details.

Privacy Policy

Effective [Date] · Web Studio Place

This Privacy Policy explains how [Business Legal Name] ("Web Studio Place," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website or use our services. By using our site or services, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

How we use your information

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate — for example, Stripe (payments), our website hosting provider, and our form/email tools — and only as needed to provide our services. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Photos and content you provide

Photos, logos, and text you send us are used solely to build and maintain your website. You keep ownership of your content; you grant us permission to use it for the purpose of creating and hosting your site.

Data retention

We keep your information for as long as needed to provide our services and meet legal or accounting requirements. You may ask us to delete information we hold about you, subject to those requirements.

Your choices

You may request to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or opt out of non-essential communications, by contacting us at [your email]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR.

Children

Our services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes & contact

We may update this policy from time to time; the effective date above will change accordingly. Questions? Contact us at [your email].

Terms of Service

Effective [Date] · Web Studio Place

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the services provided by [Business Legal Name] ("Web Studio Place," "we," "us"). By requesting a preview, placing an order, or using our services, you agree to these Terms.

What we provide

We design, build, host, and maintain websites for businesses. We may first provide a free, no-obligation website "preview." A preview is a demonstration only; it is hosted at a temporary address and does not transfer ownership until you purchase a plan.

Plans & payment

Your responsibilities

Ownership

Once your build fee is paid and your site is delivered, you own your website content and your domain name. If you cancel, we will make reasonable efforts to hand over your site files and transfer your domain to you. We retain ownership of any underlying templates, code frameworks, and tools we reuse across clients.

Hosting & discontinuing service

Your monthly fee keeps your site online — hosting, security, backups, and standard updates — and bills automatically each month until you tell us to stop.

How to discontinue: email us at [your email] with “Cancellation” and your company name in the subject line, and tell us in the body of the email exactly what you would like to cancel. We will confirm your request by reply.

Hosting continues through the end of your current paid billing period, and your site is then taken offline. Fees already paid, including the final month, are non-refundable.

Requesting your site files

Your website content and web address belong to you. If you would like a copy of your site files, email us using the same format above. Your account must be paid in full before files are released — if your site was suspended or taken down for non-payment, any outstanding balance must be settled first. We do not currently charge a transfer or release fee, and reserve the right to introduce one for future requests.

Updates & support

We provide reasonable text and photo updates as described in your plan. Requests that go beyond the scope of your plan (such as major redesigns or added functionality) may be quoted separately.

Turnaround

We aim to deliver within the timeframe shown at purchase, but timelines depend on receiving your materials (logo, photos, details) and are estimates, not guarantees.

Limitation of liability

We provide our services "as is" and do our best, but we cannot guarantee specific business results (such as traffic, rankings, or sales). To the fullest extent allowed by law, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the [three] months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.

Changes & governing law

We may update these Terms; continued use means you accept the updated version. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State]. Questions? Contact [your email].

Refund Policy

Effective [Date] · Web Studio Place

All sales are final

Because you see your completed website before you buy it, every purchase is made knowing exactly what you are getting. For that reason, all sales are final. Build fees and monthly hosting fees are non-refundable. The free preview is your risk-free trial.

Why we work this way

We build your website first and send it to you at no cost. You can look at it, ask for changes, and decide at your own pace. Nothing is charged until you have already seen the finished product and chosen to move forward.

Changes and revisions

If something isn't right, tell us and we will fix it. Reasonable text and photo revisions are included with your plan. Requests that go beyond the scope of your plan may be quoted separately.

Non-payment & late payment

Discontinuing your plan

To discontinue monthly hosting, email us at [your email] with “Cancellation” and your company name in the subject line, and describe what you would like to cancel in the body. Hosting runs through the end of your current paid billing period, after which your site is taken offline. Fees already paid are non-refundable.

Requesting your site files

Your account must be paid in full before site files are released. If your site was suspended or removed for non-payment, the outstanding balance must be settled first. We do not currently charge a transfer or release fee, and reserve the right to introduce one for future requests.
