Terms of Service

Effective: November 2026 · Business: RizForge, Orlando, Florida · Contact: info@rizforge.com · (407) 462-6330

These terms apply when you work with RizForge (“RizForge”, “I”, “me”), whether you start through this website, a proposal, a preview or a conversation. Your proposal or client agreement sets out the scope and price of your project. Where it differs from these terms, the agreement wins.

1. Services

RizForge offers:

• The Follow-Up Website: a website built, hosted and looked after by RizForge, with inquiry capture, a follow-up pipeline and review requests, for $350/month.
• Websites: custom websites designed and built for you, quoted per project.
• Branding: logos and style guides, quoted per project.
• Hosting: optional hosting and upkeep for a site RizForge built, for $99 a month.

What each plan includes is described on its page on this website and in your agreement. Anything not written there is outside the scope and is quoted separately before work on it begins.

2. Who I work with

I don't take on work involving alcohol, non-halal food and drink, adult content, gambling, interest-based lending, cannabis or CBD, nightlife, dating apps or astrology, and I keep religious and political content off the sites I design. I may decline any project or request that conflicts with my values.

I may decline any project before it starts, for any reason. I may also decline a specific request during a project if it conflicts with these values or with the content standards below. Declining such a request is not a breach of these terms and does not entitle you to a refund, because it was never part of the agreed scope. The rest of the agreed work continues.

If a business turns out to fall in one of the categories above and this was not disclosed, I may end the engagement and keep payment for the work already done.

3. Content standards

The sites, brands and materials I design or look after do not include religious or political content. Imagery stays modest: no revealing outfits and no framing that focuses on the body. I choose imagery, and may decline client-supplied images or copy that do not meet these standards.

4. Previews

A preview I make for your business is free, and you are under no obligation to buy anything. Previews, and the designs and copy in them, belong to RizForge until there is a signed agreement. They may be taken down at any time.

5. The Follow-Up Website

Billing. The Follow-Up Website is billed monthly in advance. There is no setup fee and no contract term. The full build begins after the first payment.

Your part. You follow up with your own leads: calling them back and moving them through the pipeline in the app. I build and maintain the website and the system that captures, tracks and reminds.

Licence. The website design, templates and code are licensed to you for as long as your subscription is active. They are not sold or transferred. You can ask about buying out your site design.

Missed payments. If a payment fails and is not resolved, service may be suspended until it is.

Cancellation. You can cancel at any time by email, phone or in writing. Billing stops, and service runs to the end of the month you have already paid for. Monthly fees already paid are not refunded. When service ends, the site and the systems I run on your behalf are switched off. Before that, I export your leads for you. Your data is then deleted from the systems I manage after a reasonable period.

What stays yours. Your domain, your business content and photos, and your leads.

6. Website and branding projects

Payment. Projects are paid 50% before work begins and 50% on delivery, unless your agreement splits a larger project into more payments. Work begins once the first payment is received.

Ownership. Once you have paid in full, you own the final deliverables made for your project: your website files, logo and brand assets. Until then, they remain RizForge's.

Cancelling a project. You can cancel a project before delivery. Payments already made, and any stage of work already finished, are not refunded.

7. Hosting

Hosting is $99 a month, billed monthly in advance, for sites RizForge built. What it covers is described in your agreement. You can cancel at any time; service runs to the end of the paid month, and I hand over your site files so you can host them elsewhere.

8. Scope and revisions

Each plan or project includes the revision rounds stated on its page or in your agreement. A revision changes something that already exists, such as a headline or a photo. A new request adds something that does not, such as a booking page or another service page, and is quoted separately.

9. Timing and delays

I don't promise delivery dates. I keep you updated at every stage. If I am waiting on content, answers or feedback from you for 30 days, the project pauses. If it stays paused for 60 days, it closes, and restarting it is quoted. Payments for work already done are not affected.

10. Your responsibilities

• You own, or have the right to use, everything you send me: photos, logos, text and other material.
• You are responsible for the claims on your own site, including licences, insurance, prices, offers and warranties.
• You keep your own accounts in your name, such as your domain registration and Google accounts, and pay their fees, unless your agreement says otherwise.
• You give accurate information and timely feedback.

11. RizForge's rights

I may show work I made for you in my portfolio, on this website and in my marketing. If you'd like your project kept private, tell me in writing before it is finished.

Reusable frameworks, code, components, templates and trade designs that I use across projects stay RizForge's, even when they appear in your site.

I use modern tools, AI included, in my work. Every decision, word and page is checked by me before you see it.

12. Third-party platforms

My work relies on third-party services, including GoHighLevel, Webflow, Cloudflare, Stripe, Google, domain registrars, and font and image licences. I am not responsible for their outages, price changes or policy changes. Your agreement states who pays for each.

13. No guaranteed results

I make sure every inquiry that reaches your site is captured, tracked and followed up as agreed. I do not guarantee the number of leads, search rankings, reviews or revenue, which depend on things outside my control.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RizForge is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including lost revenue or lost leads.

15. Ending an engagement

I may end an engagement for non-payment, for abusive behaviour, or under section 2, with notice. Payment for work already done stays due, and for monthly plans, service runs to the end of the paid month.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of Orange County, Florida.

17. Changes to these terms

I may update these terms. Changes are posted on this page with a new effective date. Your signed agreement keeps the terms it was signed under unless we both agree to change it.
