Terms of Service

1. Site Content & Intellectual Property

1.1 Marketing Guides

The marketing guides, pillar articles, satellite articles, and other educational content published on the Site are provided for informational purposes only. You may read, reference, and apply the strategies to your own business. You may not reproduce, republish, redistribute, or create derivative works from our content — in whole or in part — without prior written permission.

1.2 Trademarks & Branding

The SiteMancer name, logo, and visual identity are our property. You may not use our trademarks in any way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship without written consent.

2. Web Development Services

2.1 Scope of Services

SiteMancer offers landing page and website development for local businesses. Service details, pricing, deliverables, timelines, and payment terms are defined in individual project proposals or service agreements between SiteMancer and the client. Content on the Site (including pricing pages) is for general reference and does not constitute a binding offer or service agreement.

2.2 Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing accurate business information, content, brand assets, and timely feedback required to complete the project. Delays caused by late or incomplete client input may extend delivery timelines.

2.3 Ownership of Deliverables

Upon full payment, the client receives ownership of the custom code and design assets created specifically for their project. SiteMancer retains the right to use general techniques, frameworks, and non-proprietary components across other projects. We may feature completed projects in our portfolio unless otherwise agreed in writing.

2.4 Payment & Refunds

Payment terms are specified in each project agreement. Unless otherwise stated, a 50% deposit is required before work begins, with the remaining balance due upon delivery. Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis — work already completed is non-refundable. Disputes should be raised within 7 days of delivery.

3. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Marketing strategies and recommendations published on the Site are general guidance. Results vary based on industry, location, competition, budget, execution quality, and market conditions. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, traffic increases, leads, or revenue from implementing any strategy described on the Site.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SiteMancer and its owner shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of revenue, profits, data, or business opportunities — arising from:

• Your use of or inability to use the Site
• Any marketing strategy or recommendation you implement from our content
• Errors, interruptions, or inaccuracies in the Site's content
• Third-party services or links referenced on the Site

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from the use of the Site shall not exceed $100 USD. For paid services, liability is limited to the amount actually paid by the client for the specific service in question.

5. External Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of external sites.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically download content from the Site for redistribution or commercial use
• Attempt to interfere with the Site's infrastructure, security, or availability
• Submit false, misleading, or spam content through our contact forms
• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose

We reserve the right to restrict access to the Site for any user who violates these terms.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SiteMancer and its owner from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Site, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

8. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with applicable arbitration rules.

9. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users (e.g., by posting a notice on the homepage).
