Service terms.

Last updated October 2026. These terms apply to every website project and service from Johnny Hotdog Web Co. ("I," "me"), a service of Peirson Construction & Remodeling LLC, based in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Your written quote and these terms together make up our agreement. If your quote says something different from these terms, the quote wins.

1. Quotes and scope

Every project starts with a written quote listing the pages, features and price. Package prices on this site are starting points. Anything not listed in your quote, like new features, extra pages or major changes in direction, is quoted separately and only done after you approve it.

2. Payment

• Projects require a 50% deposit to get on the schedule. The remaining 50% is due before your site goes live on your domain.
• The deposit covers time already reserved and work started, so it isn't refundable once work begins.
• Care plans are billed monthly in advance. Pay-per-update work is billed when it's finished and due within 15 days.
• If a payment is more than 30 days late, I may pause work until the account is current.

3. Revisions

Your quote includes two rounds of revisions on the design and content. A round is one list of changes sent together. Additional rounds, or changes that go beyond the agreed scope, are billed as pay-per-update work or quoted separately.

4. Your content and responsibilities

You provide your business information, photos, logo, prices and service details, and you confirm you have the right to use them. You're responsible for the accuracy of what your site says about your business, including prices, licenses and claims. I'm happy to help with wording, but you approve the final content before launch.

5. Ownership

Once your project is paid in full, you own your website: the design, the content, your domain and your data. I simply manage it for you. The only exceptions are third-party tools, fonts or code libraries, which are licensed from their owners, and general-purpose code techniques I reuse across projects. You get full rights to use everything that makes up your site.

I may show your site in my portfolio. If you'd rather I didn't, just say so.

6. Domains, hosting and third-party costs

• Domain. I register and manage your domain under my account for convenience. It's yours, and the yearly renewal is billed to you at cost, usually $10 to $25.
• Hosting. Most sites run on a free hosting tier under my account, so there's no hosting bill. If your site outgrows it, you'll be told before any charge.
• Paid services. Some features rely on outside services, like Stripe for card payments, a database provider for logins, or an email service. Their fees are passed through at cost or paid by you directly, and they're listed in your quote.
• I'm not responsible for outages, price changes or policy changes by third-party providers, but I'll help you work around them.

7. After launch: updates and care plans

• Pay per update, $99. No monthly bill. One update is a single change of up to about 30 minutes of work, like new photos, prices, hours or wording on a page.
• Care, $39/month. Hosting and security certificate kept running, domain renewals managed, uptime monitoring, and up to 30 minutes of updates per month. Unused time doesn't roll over.
• Pro Care, $79/month. Required for Pro sites and sites with The Works. Everything in Care, plus your database and logins maintained, a weekly backup of your database and uploaded files kept for 30 days, and up to one hour of updates per month.
• Response times. If your site goes down, I'll start working on it within one business day. Update requests are usually done within two business days.
• Not included in any plan: new pages or features, redesigns, writing new content, or problems caused by third-party services. Those are quoted first.
• Cancel a plan anytime. It ends at the close of the month you've paid for.

8. Handover: taking your site elsewhere

You can take your website elsewhere at any time. Here's how it works:

1. Ask in writing through the contact form or by text.
2. I email you every file that makes up your site in one package, ready to upload to any host.
3. I transfer your domain to the registrar account you choose. Any transfer or renewal fee charged by the registrar is yours.
4. Your site stays live for 30 to 45 days on my hosting while you set up your new host and upload your files.
5. After that, I take it down and delete my copies of your files and data.

Once handed over, your new hosting, accounts, settings and any paid services are your responsibility to set up and maintain. Any unpaid balance needs to be settled before the domain transfer.

9. Sites with logins and customer data

Pro sites can store information about your customers, like names, contact details, records and uploaded documents. For those sites:

• It's your data. You're the owner of the information your site collects, and you're responsible for telling your customers how you use it, such as in your own privacy policy, and for following any laws that apply to your business.
• Reputable providers. I build on established services for hosting, databases and payments, use secure connections, and limit access to people who need it. Card numbers are handled by the payment processor and never stored on your site.
• No system is perfectly secure. I take reasonable care, but I can't guarantee your site or its providers will never be breached or lose data. Keep your own copies of anything critical.
• Handover of data. When you leave, I'll either transfer your database account to you or export your data and uploaded files in standard formats, then delete my copies after your 30 to 45 day transition.

The Works (your own books)

• The Works is a record-keeping tool. It is not accounting, bookkeeping or tax advice, and it doesn't replace an accountant or tax preparer.
• You're responsible for the accuracy of what you enter and for reviewing your reports before using them for taxes or financing.
• It doesn't connect to bank accounts, run payroll, file sales tax or prepare tax forms unless your written quote says otherwise.
• Sites with The Works stay on Pro Care so your books are backed up weekly. If you leave, your books export to a spreadsheet and travel with the rest of your data.

10. Warranty and liability

If something I built doesn't work as described in your quote, tell me within 30 days of launch and I'll fix it at no charge. Beyond that, the website is provided as is. I don't guarantee specific search rankings, traffic, leads or sales.

To the extent the law allows, my total liability for any claim related to my work is limited to the amount you paid me in the 12 months before the claim, and I'm not liable for indirect losses like lost profits or lost data.

11. Cancelling a project

Either of us can end a project with written notice. You pay for the work completed up to that point, and you receive what's been built so far once it's paid for. If a project sits with no response from you for 60 days, I may close it; we can restart it later under a new quote.

12. The rest

These terms are governed by Kentucky law, and any dispute will be handled in Warren County, Kentucky. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. I may update these terms; the version in effect when you approve your quote applies to your project.
