Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: August 29, 2026

Welcome to LocalWebStudio. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website and the website design and development services provided by LocalWebStudio.

By requesting our services or engaging LocalWebStudio for a project, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

1. Our Services

LocalWebStudio provides website design and development services, primarily for real estate agents, Realtors, real estate professionals, and related businesses.

Our services may include:

  • Website design
  • Website development
  • WordPress development
  • Website customization
  • Mobile-responsive design
  • Content implementation
  • Contact and lead-generation forms
  • Website setup
  • Website maintenance
  • Other website-related services agreed upon with the client

The exact services included in a project will be determined by the selected package, proposal, project agreement, or other written confirmation.

2. Demo Website Process

Before starting a paid website development project, LocalWebStudio may create a personalized demo or concept website for a prospective client.

The demo may be based on:

  • Publicly available business information
  • Information provided by the prospective client
  • The prospective client’s existing website
  • Public business listings
  • Public real estate profiles
  • Other publicly accessible business information

The purpose of the demo is to allow the prospective client to see a possible website design and understand what LocalWebStudio could create for their business.

Creating or receiving a demo does not create an obligation to purchase services.

3. Demo Approval

If a prospective client likes the demo and wishes to proceed, LocalWebStudio and the client will confirm:

  • The selected package or project scope
  • Price
  • Included services
  • Required content and materials
  • Payment terms
  • Expected timeline
  • Any additional requirements

The actual website development will begin after the project has been approved and the required initial payment has been received.

The final website may differ from the demo based on client requests, updated content, technical requirements, functionality, or other project requirements.

4. Initial Payment and Payment Terms

An initial payment or deposit may be required before actual website development begins.

The amount of the initial payment will be communicated and agreed upon with the client before development starts.

Depending on the project, the initial payment may be a percentage of the total project price or another agreed amount. For example, LocalWebStudio may agree to an initial payment of 10%, 20%, 50%, or another amount depending on the project.

The remaining balance and payment schedule will be agreed upon with the client before or at the beginning of the project.

The payment terms agreed for an individual project will take priority over general examples stated in these Terms.

5. Project Development

After the project has been approved, the required initial payment has been received, and the necessary project information has been provided, LocalWebStudio will begin development according to the agreed scope.

The client may be required to provide:

  • Logo and branding
  • Business information
  • Contact details
  • Photos and images
  • Property information
  • Testimonials
  • Written content
  • Social media links
  • Domain and hosting information
  • Other materials necessary for the project

Delays in providing required materials, feedback, or approvals may affect the project timeline.

6. Revisions and Changes

The number of revisions included in a project will depend on the selected package or agreed project scope.

Requests that substantially change the original design, structure, functionality, or scope may be considered additional work and may require an additional fee.

Additional work and charges will be discussed with the client before the additional work begins whenever reasonably possible.

7. Client Responsibilities

The client is responsible for providing accurate information and ensuring that they have the necessary rights or permissions to use any content supplied to LocalWebStudio.

This may include:

  • Text
  • Photographs
  • Logos
  • Videos
  • Testimonials
  • Property information
  • Branding materials
  • Other copyrighted or proprietary materials

The client is responsible for reviewing the website and notifying LocalWebStudio of errors, inaccuracies, or required changes.

8. Publicly Available Information Used in Demos

LocalWebStudio may use publicly available business information to prepare personalized demos for prospective clients.

Such information may come from public business websites, business listings, real estate profiles, social media business pages, directories, and other publicly accessible sources.

A demo is provided for evaluation and presentation purposes.

If a prospective client does not wish to have a demo created using publicly available information about their business, they may contact LocalWebStudio and request that the demo be removed or discontinued.

9. Demo Website Ownership and Use

Demo websites created before a project is formally approved are considered concepts or demonstrations.

LocalWebStudio retains the right to use general design concepts, layouts, templates, components, development methods, and other non-client-specific elements in other projects.

Client-specific information, branding, or confidential materials will not intentionally be reused for another client.

10. Domain and Hosting

Clients may use an existing domain and hosting account or purchase new services.

Unless specifically included in the agreed project scope, domain registration, hosting, premium plugins, third-party subscriptions, email services, IDX services, and similar third-party costs are the responsibility of the client.

11. Third-Party Services

Some website features may depend on third-party services, including hosting providers, domain registrars, plugins, IDX providers, payment processors, email services, analytics platforms, APIs, or other external services.

Third-party fees are not included unless specifically stated in the project agreement.

LocalWebStudio is not responsible for price changes, service interruptions, restrictions, outages, policy changes, or failures caused by third-party providers.

12. Content and Intellectual Property

The client retains ownership of content, branding, images, logos, and other materials supplied by the client, subject to the client’s rights to those materials.

LocalWebStudio retains ownership of its pre-existing tools, systems, templates, code, processes, design resources, and other proprietary materials unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Third-party assets remain subject to their respective licenses and usage restrictions.

13. Project Cancellation

Either party may request cancellation of a project.

Payments already made may be non-refundable to the extent that work has already been performed, expenses have been incurred, or third-party services have been purchased.

Any refund, outstanding balance, or other cancellation matter will be handled according to the applicable project agreement.

14. Final Approval and Launch

Before launch, the client will have an opportunity to review the completed website.

Once the client provides final approval and the applicable payment obligations have been fulfilled, LocalWebStudio may proceed with the final launch, transfer, or delivery of the website as agreed.

15. Portfolio Use

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, LocalWebStudio may display completed websites in its portfolio and marketing materials.

If a client requires their website or project to remain private or confidential, this should be discussed and agreed upon with LocalWebStudio.

16. Website Performance and Results

LocalWebStudio aims to build websites using reasonable professional practices.

However, website speed, search engine rankings, traffic, leads, sales, conversions, hosting reliability, third-party services, browser behavior, and other external factors cannot be guaranteed.

LocalWebStudio does not guarantee a specific level of:

  • Search engine rankings
  • Website traffic
  • Leads
  • Sales
  • Revenue
  • Business growth

unless a specific guarantee has been expressly agreed to in writing.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, LocalWebStudio will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from the use of a website or services.

LocalWebStudio’s responsibility is limited to the services and obligations specifically agreed upon for the applicable project.

18. Changes to These Terms

LocalWebStudio may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes to our services, business practices, or applicable requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
