Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use pagelysites.com or hire PagelySites to build, host or maintain a web page. They’re written to be readable. Your written quote or invoice (the “Quote”) sets out the specifics of your project. If the Quote and these terms disagree, the Quote wins.

PagelySites is operated by Yehoshua Cohen, [PLACEHOLDER: company or dealer number], [PLACEHOLDER: business address], Israel. Contact: pagelysites@gmail.com.

“You” or “Client” means the business or person hiring us. If you accept these terms for a business, you confirm you’re allowed to bind that business.

1. Who our services are for

Our services are for businesses and professionals, not personal or household use. By hiring us you confirm you’re acting for business purposes.

2. What we do

We design and build simple websites, typically a single page (“one-pager”). The Quote states:

• the page type and sections;
• the price, and whether you pay a deposit or pay in full;
• the number of revision rounds included;
• any extras (domain set-up, hosting, care plan, copywriting, photo editing).

Not included unless the Quote says so: e-commerce/carts, custom booking systems, logins for your customers, multi-page sites, SEO campaigns, paid ads, ongoing content writing, legal pages for your business, and fees charged by third parties (domains, email hosting, paid plugins or stock photos).

3. How a project works

1. Brief. You fill in /start or send us your details.
2. Quote. We send a fixed price. Prices are in US dollars unless stated otherwise.
3. Deposit or full payment. Work starts when we receive payment: 50% deposit (balance due on publish) or 100% upfront, as the Quote says.
4. Draft and revisions. We share a preview link. The Quote includes 2 rounds of revisions. A “round” is one consolidated list of changes sent at once. New sections, a new direction or extra rounds after that are quoted separately.
5. Approval and publish. When you approve, or 14 days after we deliver the final draft without a response, the page is treated as approved. We collect the balance and publish.

Your part. Please send content (text, photos, logo, hours, prices) promptly and answer questions. If we’re waiting on you for 30 days, we may pause the project. If it stays paused for 60 days, we may close it. In that case the deposit covers the work done so far, and we can restart later for a new fee if needed.

4. Payments

• We invoice through PayPal. You can pay by card without a PayPal account. Card and bank details are handled by the payment provider, not by us.
• The balance is due before the page goes live, or within 7 days of approval, whichever comes first. We may hold the page on a preview address until it’s paid.
• Prices don’t include taxes your own country may apply to you. We issue the receipts and tax documents required under Israeli law.
• Late payment: if an invoice is more than 14 days overdue, we may pause hosting or work until it’s paid.
• Chargebacks: please contact us before disputing a charge. We’d rather fix it. Opening a chargeback for work you received and approved breaches these terms.
• Refunds and cancellations are covered in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

5. Hosting and care plan (optional)

If you choose a monthly hosting/care plan:

• It’s billed monthly in advance through a PayPal subscription and renews automatically until you cancel.
• It includes hosting on our account, SSL, uptime monitoring, up to 30 minutes of small text or photo edits per month, and renewing your domain at cost.
• You can cancel anytime by email or from your PayPal account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid month. We don’t refund partial months.
• If you cancel, we’ll give you a copy of your page files (or move them to your own hosting for a one-off fee). We’ll also help transfer the domain to you if it’s in your name.
• We may change plan pricing with 30 days’ notice by email. You can cancel before the change takes effect.
• Hosting depends on third parties (e.g. Vercel). We aim for high availability but don’t guarantee uninterrupted uptime.

6. Your content

• “Your Content” is everything you give us: text, photos, logos, prices, reviews, brand names.
• You keep ownership of Your Content. You give us a licence to use it only to build, host and maintain your page.
• You confirm you have the right to use Your Content (including photos of people). You also confirm it’s accurate and lawful, and it doesn’t infringe anyone’s rights. You’re responsible for the claims your page makes (prices, licences, medical, legal or financial statements), and for any privacy notice your own visitors need.
• We may refuse content that’s illegal, misleading or harmful.

7. Who owns the page

• After you’ve paid in full, you own the final page as delivered to you: the combination of design, layout and content made for your business. You can use, change and move it.
• We keep ownership of our “Tools”: our templates, reusable components, code libraries, design systems, know-how and the Desk platform. You get a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use the Tools as part of your page. You may not resell them as templates.
• Third-party materials (fonts, icons, stock photos, open-source code) stay under their own licences.
• Until you’ve paid in full, all rights stay with us, and we may take down the preview.
• Portfolio: we may show your finished page (screenshots and link) in our portfolio and on social media. You can opt out at any time by email, and we’ll remove it within a reasonable time.

8. Domains and accounts

Where possible, domains are registered in your name. If we register one for you, we’ll transfer it to you on request once all invoices are paid. You’re responsible for keeping domain renewals and your own accounts up to date, unless your care plan covers it.

9. Things we can’t promise

We build pages to work in current major browsers and on mobile. Beyond that, the service is provided “as is”. We don’t guarantee any particular search ranking, traffic, leads or sales. We also can’t promise that third-party services (hosting, domains, maps, booking tools, payment providers) will always work. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties such as merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Our total liability under or in connection with a project is limited to the amount you paid us for that project in the 12 months before the claim. For a care plan, it’s limited to the last 3 months of fees.
• Neither of us is liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business opportunities or reputational harm.
• Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t legally be limited, such as liability for fraud or wilful misconduct.

11. Indemnity

You’ll cover our reasonable costs if a third party brings a claim against us because of Your Content, or because of how you use the page (for example a copyright claim over a photo you supplied, or a complaint about claims made on your page).

12. Ending the agreement

Either of us may end a project by written notice. What happens to fees is set out in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. We may also end the agreement straight away if you seriously breach these terms (for example non-payment or illegal content). Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 14 continue to apply after the agreement ends.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version that was in effect when you accepted your Quote applies to that project. Changes to care-plan terms apply after we give 30 days’ notice.

14. Governing law and disputes

• Please email us first. We’ll try in good faith to resolve any issue within 30 days.
• These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel. The competent courts in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel have exclusive jurisdiction. PagelySites may also bring a claim to collect unpaid fees in the courts where the Client is located.
• The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods doesn’t apply.

15. General

• These terms, the Quote and our policies are the whole agreement between us about the project.
• If a clause is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• Neither of us is responsible for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control.
• You may not transfer this agreement without our consent. We may transfer it to a successor of our business.
• Notices go by email: to the address you gave us, and to pagelysites@gmail.com for us.
• We may use trusted subcontractors (e.g. a photo editor) but remain responsible for their work.
• We’re independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership or employment relationship.
