Terms of Service

Updated: January 12th, 2026

By submitting payment and using our services, you (“Client”) automatically agree to the following Terms of Service (“Agreement”).

1. What You Get

  • Professional Website: We’ll build your services business website using either our SEO-optimized template, customized for your business; or a custom website design built around your business needs; depending on the initial proposal and agreement.
  • Copy Updates & Technical Support: Unlimited requests for copy changes within the existing template design are included. Technical support is also provided.
  • Easy-to-Use Editor Access: If you prefer to do copy edits yourself, login to our secure editor to make the following changes:
    • Edit text, photos, links, and data
    • Add unlimited new pages using the existing page templates
    • Publish changes are your leisure
  • We Manage The Admin: We back the security and technical back-end directly including all hosting, technical updates, backups, and design-level changes.

2. Payment Options

All fees are charged in USD unless otherwise stated and will be billed to the payment method provided by the Client.

We offer two payment structures:

Monthly Plan

The Client pays the agreed monthly fee over a fixed contract term. The length of the term, monthly amount, and any setup fees will be specified in the Client’s invoice, order form, or payment agreement.

Buyout

The Client may choose to pay the full project amount upfront instead of using the monthly payment plan. The buyout amount and any associated setup fees will be specified in the Client’s invoice or order form.

If the Client begins on a monthly payment plan, an early buyout may be available by paying the remaining contract balance in full. The remaining balance will be determined based on the original payment agreement.

All pricing, fees, and payment terms are defined in the invoice or payment agreement associated with the Client’s project.

3. After the Term, Buyouts, or Cancellation

After the Term or Buyout Completion:

Once your payment term has been completed, whether through monthly payments or a buyout, you have the following options:

  • Continued Support & Hosting Agreement: We’ll continue to host and support your website by extending your agreement on a month-to-month basis. At this time ownership can be transferred to you.
  • Hybrid Support Agreement: We will transfer the website to you, and establish an ongoing support agreement to maintain and support your project.
  • Complete Transfer: We transfer the site to your own account with no further support.
If no option is selected within 30 days of the term ending, the default is Continued Support & Hosting Agreement ongoing on a month-to-month basis.

Cancellations:

  • During the 24-month term, cancellation requires payment of the remaining months at the ongoing monthly price. Cancellation takes effect only once written notice and payment have been received. After cancellation, we will transfer the site to your account. If you have not completed your part of the transfer within 30 days, the site will be archived.
  • Non payment of cancellations will result in breach of contract and we reserve the right to pursue all legal remedies available.
  • If the Client cancels during the term, the remaining contract balance becomes immediately due. Once the balance is paid, the website and/or website ownership may be transferred to the Client.

4. Support & Communication

  • How to Send Requests: Submit support tickets via our website or email. Multiple tickets may be submitted, but we process one at a time for quality.
  • What’s Not Covered: New template designs, third-party software, unrelated websites, or functionality not included in your original build. These will be quoted separately.
  • Provider Discretion: One Week Websites reserves the right to determine what fits the scope and parameters of the support tickets system. Any requests found to exceed the scope of support will be discussed with the client and presented with alternatives or options.

Requests that involve repairing or troubleshooting modifications made by the Client, AI tools, or third parties are not included in the support plan and may be billed separately.

5. Client Responsibilities

  • You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, and honesty of the content you provide and publish.
  • You must provide text, images, and other content unless otherwise agreed.
  • You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

6. Ownership, License & Attribution

Until the website has been paid for in full or the full 24-month term has been completed, the website, its design, templates, and underlying structure remain the intellectual property of One Week Websites.

During the active term of this Agreement, the Client is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the website for their business.

Ownership of the website transfers to the Client only after one of the following occurs:

  • The full 24-month term has been completed and the website is transferred to the Client’s hosting environment
  • The Client completes a full buyout of the remaining balance and requests transfer of the website

Until ownership transfers, the website may not be sold, copied, duplicated, redistributed, or reused for other businesses without written permission.

7. Attribution

During the payment term, the website may contain a small footer credit referencing One Week Websites.

The Client agrees not to remove, obscure, hide, or modify this attribution while the Agreement remains active unless written permission has been granted.

Removal of attribution during the term may be permitted only through:

  • Written approval from One Week Websites
  • A completed buyout of the remaining contract balance

8. Platform Control & Workspace Access

In most cases the website will remain within the One Week Websites workspace and hosting environment during the Agreement term.

If workspace access or project transfer is granted to the Client, it does not constitute transfer of ownership.

The Client agrees not to:

  • modify core structural code
  • disable attribution
  • remove licensing references
  • interfere with scripts or systems required for operation or service delivery

Any modifications that interfere with the functioning, attribution, or structure of the website may be reversed by One Week Websites.

Workspace access provided to the Client is for convenience only and does not grant ownership or control of the underlying website system until the Agreement term has been completed or the website has been fully bought out.

9. Client Modifications

Clients may modify website content such as text, images, links, and other editable content fields where editing access is provided.

However, modifications that alter the website’s structure, templates, scripts, integrations, tracking systems, SEO configuration, or technical settings are made at the Client’s own risk.

One Week Websites is not responsible for any negative effects resulting from modifications made by the Client or any third party acting on the Client’s behalf, including but not limited to:

  • Loss of search engine rankings
  • Indexing issues
  • Broken pages or site functionality
  • Performance degradation
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Tracking or analytics disruptions

This includes, but is not limited to changes made through:

  • AI agents or automated tools
  • Third-party contractors or developers
  • Plugins, scripts, or external integrations added by the Client

If such changes interfere with the operation, performance, security, or search visibility of the website, One Week Websites is not responsible for diagnosing or repairing those issues as part of the included support.

10. Disclaimers

Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

  • Changes made by outside developers or contractors
  • Structural or template modifications made outside the original design system

Any work required to diagnose, repair, or rebuild issues resulting from such changes may be quoted separately or billed at our standard hourly rate.

One Week Websites reserves the right to determine whether a request falls within the scope of included support.

12. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, including our directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from or related to:

In all circumstances, the total aggregate liability of One Week Websites for any and all claims arising from or related to this Agreement or the Services shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client to One Week Websites during the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which the claim is brought, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.

One Week Websites shall not be liable for damages or losses resulting from:

You agree that you will be solely responsible for all costs, expenses, and legal fees incurred by us in enforcing our rights and recovering any amounts owed or damages suffered as a result of your breach.
  • Upon termination, all outstanding fees become immediately due and payable, and access to the hosted site may be suspended or permanently disabled until obligations are satisfied.

15. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, labor disputes, internet or hosting outages, cyberattacks, power failures, or pandemics. If such an event occurs, obligations will be suspended for the duration of the disruption, and we will make reasonable efforts to resume Services as soon as possible.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of British Columbia.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any order, invoice, or payment form, constitute the entire agreement between us and you, and supersede all prior agreements or understandings. No amendment is binding unless in writing and agreed by both parties.
