This is a draft template prepared for Starbeam Hosting’s business use. It has not been reviewed by a licensed attorney. Please have an attorney licensed in California review and customize this Agreement before relying on it as a binding legal contract.
1. Services
Starbeam Hosting will design, build, host, and maintain a website for the Client under the membership plan selected at signup, as described on our Pricing page.
2. Fees and Payment Plans
Client will pay the one-time Build Fee and recurring monthly fee associated with their selected plan. Two payment tracks are available:
(a) Pay-in-Full track — Client pays the Build Fee upfront and owns the completed website outright; the monthly fee thereafter covers hosting, updates, and maintenance only.
(b) Rent-to-Own track — Client’s Build Fee, plus a financing charge, is amortized into fixed monthly payments over a 36-month term, combined with the hosting/maintenance fee. Ownership of the website transfers to Client upon completion of the full 36-month term, after which the standard ongoing hosting/maintenance rate applies.
3. Term, Renewal, and Cancellation
This Agreement begins on the signup date and continues month-to-month until cancelled by either party. Client may cancel ongoing hosting/maintenance services at any time, effective at the end of the current billing cycle. Rent-to-Own clients who cancel before completing the 36-month term are responsible for the Early Termination Balance (the unpaid, remaining build-cost portion of their plan), which Company will provide in writing before finalizing cancellation. Refunds, if any, are governed by our Refund and Returns Policy.
4. Ownership and License
Until full payment of the applicable Build Fee (including, for Rent-to-Own clients, completion of the 36-month term), Company retains ownership of the website. Upon satisfaction of the applicable payment terms, ownership of the website design and content transfers to Client, excluding any third-party licensed assets, stock media, or Company’s proprietary tools/frameworks, which remain licensed for Client’s continued use only while an active hosting/maintenance subscription is in place.
5. Client Responsibilities
Client agrees to provide timely content, feedback, and approvals needed to complete the build, and to keep payment information current.
6. Confidentiality
Each party will keep the other’s non-public business information confidential and use it only to perform this Agreement.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company’s total liability under this Agreement is limited to the fees paid by Client in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, and Company is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
8. Indemnification
Client agrees to indemnify Company against claims arising from content or materials Client provides for use on the website.
9. Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate this Agreement for the other’s material breach that remains uncured 15 days after written notice.
10. Dispute Resolution — Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted by a single arbitrator, with the arbitration seated in Los Angeles County, California. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party waives any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and Company may seek injunctive relief in court to protect its intellectual property.
11. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
12. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with our Pricing page, Refund and Returns Policy, and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the services described.
