Terms of Service.

These Terms govern services from Tillwork Studio LLC, operated by Daniel Fortas, Berryville, Arkansas. Submitting an inquiry, making a payment, or using any service means you agree.

When a project starts, you also sign a separate written Client Service Agreement that sets your exact plan, price, billing frequency, and commitment. If anything in these Terms conflicts with your signed agreement, the signed agreement controls. These Terms are the plain-language explanation of that agreement.

Tillwork Studio designs, builds, hosts, and maintains a custom website under the plan and billing frequency you select. Three plans, each available Monthly at standard rate or Annual paid up front, published at /plans.

Billing frequency

Annual saves two months versus monthly. New clients choosing Annual at initial signup have the setup fee waived in full. Billing frequency also changes buyout timing (see Section 04).

Setup fee

Due in full before the build begins, non refundable once build work starts. The free mockup carries no charge and no obligation. The Annual waiver applies once at initial signup only, and a Monthly client who later switches is not eligible on switching.

Custom or program pricing

Including Founders pricing, locked while the account stays continuously active, forfeited if the account lapses or is cancelled, and exempt from standard rate increases while continuously active.

All timing is measured from the site go live date, the date the finished site is first published at its live address.

Monthly billing track

A 12 month initial term from go live, which makes the low monthly rate possible. After that, month to month with no further commitment. After the term, cancel by written notice to tillworkstudio@gmail.com any time, and the site and billing continue through the current billing cycle plus one additional full cycle, with no prorated partial cycle and never more than one additional full cycle. Verbal notice is not accepted.

Annual billing track

The annual fee is due in full before the build, setup waived for new Annual signups. Not refundable for unused months. No early termination fee because the full term is prepaid. End any time by written notice to tillworkstudio@gmail.com with no further fee. The site stays live through the paid period unless earlier takedown is requested in writing.

Renewal and switching

At the end of the annual term it continues month to month at the then current standard monthly rate, no automatic new annual term. To keep Annual, notify in writing before renewal. A Monthly client may switch to Annual any time by written notice with the new term starting from the switch date. The setup waiver does not apply to a later switch.

Non payment

Stopping payment without notice is treated as cancellation. Within the initial Monthly term the early termination fee and any balance apply. The site may be suspended after 10 days past due and the agreement ended after 30 days past due.

Your content is yours

From signing you own all photos, logos, copy, brand materials, and your domain, held in your own account at all times.

Code and assets

You own the finished code and design assets and may request an export any time while active and in good standing. What stays with Tillwork Studio is the editable project on the website platform until a buyout.

Site buyout

The one time fee is six months of your monthly rate. Monthly clients may buy out after the 12 month term. Annual clients may buy out after 90 days from go live, because payment risk is already resolved.

On payment, the complete editable project transfers to an account you control on an easy to manage platform, with all source code and files, no restrictions, no separate negotiation.

After a buyout

You cover the platform subscription directly, typically $25 to $50 per month billed by the platform not by Tillwork Studio. Hosting and maintenance end at transfer unless you choose Managed Care (Section 05). Delivering the transferred project and files is where the obligation ends.

Available only after a completed buyout.

• Price $59 per month
• Includes domain renewal, SSL and security monitoring, basic SEO upkeep, and one content update per month
• Terms billed monthly, no minimum term, cancel any time with 15 days written notice

Not offered during an active Monthly or Annual plan since hosting and maintenance are already included.

Monthly track: setup fee up front before the build, then monthly billing begins on go live or 30 days after the setup fee is paid, whichever comes first.

Annual track: setup fee and full annual fee both up front before the build.

Payment is due the same calendar date each period. Methods are bank transfer, credit card, or others agreed in writing. Existing clients get 30 days written notice before any pricing or terms change.

Managed on your behalf as part of the plan. You do not set up or manage hosting. On buyout, hosting transfers to you with the project unless you choose Managed Care.
