Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: April 1, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client") and AttorneyWebsiteDesign.us ("Agency," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing our website, requesting a proposal, or engaging our services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Services Provided

AttorneyWebsiteDesign.us provides digital marketing, web design, search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising management, legal branding, website copywriting, and conversion rate optimization (CRO) services exclusively for law firms and legal professionals. The specific scope of services for each client is defined in a separate Statement of Work (SOW) or Service Agreement provided at project commencement.

2. Client Obligations

To enable us to deliver exceptional results, clients agree to:

• Provide timely, accurate, and complete information required for project completion.
• Designate a point of contact authorized to make decisions on behalf of the law firm.
• Respond to requests for feedback, approvals, and content within agreed timeframes.
• Ensure all provided content (text, images, logos) does not infringe upon third-party intellectual property rights.
• Obtain and maintain all necessary bar association approvals for advertising content where applicable.
• Make payments according to the agreed schedule.

3. Payment Terms

3.1 Fees and Invoicing

All service fees are outlined in your individual Service Agreement or SOW. Standard payment terms are:

• Web Design Projects: 50% deposit at project commencement; 50% upon project completion before launch.
• Monthly Retainer Services (SEO, PPC, etc.): Invoiced monthly in advance; due within 7 days of invoice date.
• Rush Projects: A 25% rush surcharge applies to projects requiring completion in less than 50% of our standard timeline.

3.2 Late Payments

Invoices not paid within 14 days of their due date may incur a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. The Agency reserves the right to suspend services on accounts with outstanding balances of 30 days or more until full payment is received.

4. Intellectual Property

4.1 Agency Pre-existing IP

All methodologies, frameworks, templates, tools, and proprietary technology developed by Attorney Website Design remain the exclusive property of the Agency. These include our internal SEO frameworks, design systems, and workflow processes.

4.2 Client Ownership Upon Full Payment

Upon full payment of all outstanding fees, the Client receives full ownership of the final, custom deliverables created specifically for their project (website designs, copy, graphics). Custom code and design files are transferred to the Client at project completion.

4.3 Portfolio Rights

The Agency retains the right to display completed work in its portfolio, case studies, website, and marketing materials unless the Client submits a written request for exclusion within 30 days of project launch.

5. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary, sensitive, or trade-secret information exchanged during the engagement, including but not limited to client strategy data, marketing budgets, intake metrics, and case details. This obligation survives the termination of the service agreement.

6. Results Disclaimer

The Agency will apply all reasonable skill, expertise, and best practices to achieve the best possible results. However, we cannot guarantee specific rankings, traffic levels, lead volumes, or revenue outcomes, as these depend on factors outside our control including search engine algorithm changes, market competition, and the quality of the client's legal services. All past results and case studies are examples only and not guarantees of future performance.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Agency's total liability to the Client for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client during the 3-month period immediately preceding the claim. In no event shall the Agency be liable for indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, business interruption, or reputational harm.

8. Termination

8.1 Termination by Client

Clients may terminate monthly retainer services with 30 days' written notice. Project-based contracts may be terminated for cause (material breach uncured within 14 days of notice) or for convenience with payment of all work completed to the termination date.

8.2 Termination by Agency

The Agency may terminate this agreement immediately, with notice, if the Client: engages in fraudulent or illegal activity; fails to make payment after 45 days; requests content that violates bar advertising rules; or materially breaches these Terms.

9. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Agency's services shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The arbitration shall take place in the United States. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any legal action not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in federal or state courts of competent jurisdiction within the United States.

11. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our services after modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify active clients of material changes via email.
