Purchase Agreement

This document was last updated on December 30, 2024.

This purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) is an agreement between WebsiteMas, LLC (“us”, “our”, “we”, or “WebsiteMas”) and you (“User”, “you” or “your”) the client (person who represents himself a company or business).

With that in mind:

At WEBSITEMAS LLC, we always do our best to fulfill your needs and meet your expectations, but it’s important to have things written down so that we both know what’s what, who should do what, when, and what will happen if something goes wrong.

This purchase agreement does not contain complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. We do not want to trick you into agreeing to something that you might later regret. What we do want is what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.

So, in short,

When you hire us, whether by a phone call, text, email, or work order form, to do any of the services we offer on this website (www.websitemas.com) for the price we both agreed to, you are acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of this purchase agreement.

What do both parties agree to?

You: You have the authority to enter into this purchase agreement on behalf of yourself, your company, or your organization. You’ll give us the assets and information we tell you we need to complete the project. You’ll do this when we ask and provide it in the formats we ask for. You’ll review our work and provide feedback and approval in a timely manner, too. Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out in this purchase agreement.

WebsiteMas LLC: We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you, and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll endeavor to meet every deadline that’s set, and on top of that, we’ll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.

Getting down to the nitty gritty

Website Design

We create websites using WordPress and WordPress themes or templates. Once you choose a template, we will change its colors and fonts to your preferences, but we will not change the template’s base.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. You’ll be able to access your new site and view the work that has been done, or we’ll share a development site where you can do so as well. We’ll have regular, possibly daily contact by phone, text, or email.

Text and other content

You must provide us with all the necessary content for the pages of your new website (text, photos, videos, logo, etc.).
We provide the basic text content and photos for your new website. But you are the one who decides what content we will use.
Once you and we have agreed to work together on your new website project, or when you have made your first payment, from that moment on, you must deliver 100% of the information necessary to begin the work within a maximum period of 30 calendar days.

If the information is not received, we will cancel your order without any obligation to you.

Domain name

Your new website needs a domain name, which is its unique identifier on the Internet. It must be registered in your name or the name of your business and costs around $20 annually.

We do not provide the domain name service. But we can obtain it on your behalf, or you can go directly to one of our affiliate providers, such as HostGator and GoDaddy, to acquire it.
You will be responsible for the annual renewal of your domain name. We will keep track of it and send you a reminder one month before the renewal date. If you do not renew, your website will stop working on the expiration date. You can also instruct us to renew on your behalf, and we will be happy to do so.

Web hosting

Every website needs a hosting location on the internet. We do not provide a web hosting service. We use the services of our affiliates HostGator and Inmotion to provide this service to you. The cost is already included in the Management Plan. You can choose to get it yourself and use the hosting service of your choice.

Note: Purchasing hosting separately does not reduce the price of the Management Plan. You will be responsible for the annual renewal of your web hosting service plan. If you do not renew, your website will stop working on the expiration date.

Management plan

With this service, you can focus on what you do best: serving your customers and growing your business. This plan aims to help you not waste time maintaining your new website.

The Management Plan includes:

  • Web hosting – Although we do not provide hosting, we can obtain it on your behalf. We use the services of our affiliates, HostGator and Inmotion, to provide this service to you. The cost is already included in this Management Plan. You can choose to obtain it yourself and use the hosting service of your choice.
    • Note: Purchasing the web hosting separately does not reduce the price of the Management Plan. You will be responsible for the annual renewal of your service plan. If you do not renew, your website will stop working on the expiration date.
  • Maintenance – All websites need regular maintenance. We will make the necessary software updates and adjustments to keep your website working at 100% without interruptions.
  • Security – Every website needs anti-hacker security. We install hacker-blocking software, perform daily scanning, and, for added security, make daily and weekly backups of all software and content on your website.
  • Unlimited changes – Every website sometimes needs to make changes, such as changing the price, product name, photos, etc. With this plan, you receive all the changes you need to make to your current pages at no additional cost.
    • Note: There are exceptions, for example, when the number of changes shows that the client is revamping their website. In that case, unlimited changes are not included. However, we can work with you to give you a quote for your new project.
