1. Who we are

NextGen Websites is a website design and development business owned and operated by Markus Peach as a sole proprietorship in Kansas, United States.

• Website: https://nextgenwebsite.org
• Email: nextgenwebsitedesign@gmail.com

By using this site or buying from us, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site or place an order.

Website clients also sign our Client User Agreement. If you've signed one, it controls wherever it differs from this page.

2. What we do

• New website design and development
• Redesigns and rebuilds of existing sites
• SEO and page-speed work
• Our $50/month website plan: hosting, your domain, SSL, backups, security updates and changes to your site
• NFC products: metal (aluminium) business cards, matte plastic review cards, and acrylic NFC tag stickers and menu cards

Work is delivered to the scope we agree in writing, with the care and skill you'd expect from a professional in this field.

3. Eligibility

By hiring us or ordering from us, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, that you can enter into this agreement (on your own behalf or for your business), and that you will use our work for lawful purposes.

4. Plans and scope

Website builds come in three plans: Starter ($300–$500, up to 5 pages), Standard ($500–$800, up to 10 pages) and Premium ($800+, unlimited pages). Your plan, price and what we're building are written into your Client User Agreement before work starts.

While your monthly plan is active, changes and updates to your site are included at no extra charge.

Launch dates are estimates. They assume you get us content, feedback and access when we ask for them, and they move back if those arrive late.

5. Your responsibilities

You agree to:

• Give us accurate information, and the content, images and access the project needs
• Reply to questions and review work within a reasonable time
• Make sure anything you send us is yours to use — text, photos, logos and fonts included — and doesn't break the law or someone else's rights
• Keep a working card on autopay, and keep your contact details current
• Take responsibility for what your site says about your business, like prices, hours, licenses and service claims, and for your own legal requirements, like your privacy policy

We're not responsible for delays caused by missing content, slow feedback, or details that turn out to be wrong. If a project goes 60 days without your content or feedback, the project closes and the deposit isn't refunded, since it covers work already done.

6. Payment

• Website builds are paid in two parts: a deposit at signing of 30% of the total build price, and the remaining 70% at launch, charged to the card you saved when you paid the deposit.
• Client payments go through Stripe, our payment processor, and are made by card. Stripe stores your card details; we never see or keep your full card number. To change your card, tell us and we'll send you a secure Stripe page. We never take card numbers by phone, text or email.
• If a payment is 15 days late, we send a reminder. If it's still unpaid 30 days after the due date, your site goes offline until your account is caught up.
• Payments already made aren't refunded. If you cancel before launch, the project closes and the deposit isn't returned, since it covers work already done.
• Premium plugins, stock images and other third-party extras aren't included unless your agreement says so.

7. NFC product orders

• Prices are in US dollars and don't include shipping or tax unless stated at checkout.
• Payment is taken by Stripe, our payment processor. We never see or store your card details.
• An order is accepted when we confirm it. If something is out of stock or a price is clearly wrong, we may cancel and refund in full rather than fulfil it.
• Cards, stickers and menu cards are printed or encoded to your order, so please check your details, spelling and links before you buy. Changes may not be possible once production starts.
• Delivery estimates are estimates. We're not responsible for carrier delays.
• NFC products work with most modern smartphones. Some older phones, and some phone settings, won't read NFC tags. That isn't a fault with the product.

8. Returns and replacements

Because each item is custom-printed or encoded for you, we can't accept returns or exchanges for change of mind.

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or isn't what you ordered, email nextgenwebsitedesign@gmail.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number and a photo. We'll replace the item or refund it, whichever you prefer. If a parcel never arrives, tell us and we'll trace it with the carrier and make it right.

9. The monthly plan

Every site we build is on our $50/month plan. It's required: it keeps your website and domain live, and because we host every site we build, sites can't be moved to another host.

• It covers hosting, your domain name, an SSL security certificate, backups, security updates, and changes and updates to your site at no extra charge.
• It starts on your launch date and is charged automatically to your card through Stripe, in advance, on the same day each month. You get an emailed receipt every time.
• We give you 30 days' notice before any change to the monthly fee.
• You can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice, and email is fine. Autopay stops after your last paid month, and your site comes down when the plan ends. Fees already paid aren't refunded.

10. Ownership

• We own the websites we build, including the design, code, layout, animations, and the text, images and video we create for them. While your plan is active and paid, you have the right to use your site for your business.
• You can't copy the site or its code, or move it to another host or developer. When your plan ends, your right to use the site ends too.
• Content you give us — your text, photos, logo and data — stays yours, and we'll send you copies whenever you ask. If your site collects visitor information, such as form submissions, it belongs to you, and we handle it only to run your site.
• If you already own your domain, it stays yours. If we register one for you, we manage and renew it as part of your plan, and when your plan ends and your account is paid up, we'll transfer it to you on request.
• We only feature your site in our portfolio, with a small "Website by NextGen Websites" link in your footer, if you say yes in your agreement. You can change your mind anytime.

11. Third-party services

Websites depend on services we don't control: hosting, domain registrars, payment processors, email providers, plugins and analytics. We're not responsible for their downtime, price changes, policy changes, or data loss on their side, though we'll help you deal with any of it.

12. No guaranteed results

We build fast, well-structured sites and do honest SEO work, but nobody can guarantee search rankings, traffic, leads or sales. Those depend on your market, your competitors, your pricing and how search engines choose to rank things. Anyone who promises you otherwise is guessing.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses — including lost profits, lost data, downtime or lost business — arising from our services or this website. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

14. Indemnity

You agree to cover us against claims, damages and costs, including reasonable attorney fees, that come from content or materials you gave us, your use of what we built, or your breach of these terms or of the law.

15. Ending the agreement

You can end a project or your monthly plan by telling us in writing (email is fine), subject to the payment and notice terms above. We may pause or end work if these terms are broken, if an account stays unpaid, or if we're asked to do something unlawful or abusive. We'll always tell you why.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, United States, and any dispute will be handled by the courts serving Johnson County, Kansas. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always on this page with a "last updated" date. Changes don't affect a project already quoted and agreed.
