Terms of Service

Last updated November 8, 2026

These terms apply to website design, hosting and update services provided by AL Web Design, the business name of Austin Larson ("I", "me"), a sole proprietor based in Lake Stevens, Washington, to you, the client.

Services

I design and build websites for small businesses. Depending on your plan, I also register your domain, host your site and make updates you ask for. The exact scope (pages, features, online store) is agreed by email before work begins.

Free preview

Before you pay anything, I build a preview of your website. You're under no obligation to buy. Until you pay, the preview design remains my work and may not be copied or published elsewhere.

Plans and payment

Monthly plans ($39/month, or $49/month with an online store): $0 upfront. If you ask for a free preview first, your first monthly payment is charged when your site goes live. If you buy online, your card is saved at checkout and your first payment is charged 14 days later. After that, you're billed automatically each month on the same date. Monthly plans have a 6-month minimum term, counted from your first charge.
One-time build ($500): 50% deposit ($250) to start and 50% when you approve the finished site, before launch.

Buying online

When you buy a plan on this website, checkout is handled by Stripe. I'll contact you within one business day to collect your content and start your preview. If you cancel a monthly plan within 14 days of checkout, you won't be charged and the 6-month minimum doesn't apply.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. I never see or store your full card number.

Updates

Monthly plans include small updates such as text, prices, hours, photos, and adding or changing products. Updates are usually completed within 1–2 business days. New pages or major new features may be quoted separately, and you'll always approve the price first.

Cancellation

After the 6-month minimum, you can cancel a monthly plan any time by emailing me. You won't be charged again, and your site stays live through the end of your last paid month. Your domain is registered in your name and remains yours.

Refunds

Because you review and approve your site before paying, payments for completed work and past months are not refundable. If something isn't working right, tell me and I'll fix it. A one-time build deposit is fully refunded if you cancel before I start the build.

Your content

You're responsible for having the rights to the text, photos and logos you send me. You keep ownership of your content.

Online stores

If your site sells products, sales are processed through your own Stripe account. You're responsible for your products, shipping, returns, and for collecting and paying any applicable sales tax.
