The Client retains ownership of content and intellectual property supplied by the Client, including trademarks, logos, photographs, manuscripts, written content, product information, and other materials.

By providing materials to Pubvertise, the Client grants Pubvertise a limited license to use, copy, modify, display, and process those materials as necessary to perform the requested services.

7. Open-Source and Third-Party Software

Websites created by Pubvertise may use WordPress, WooCommerce, third-party plugins, themes, APIs, libraries, frameworks, fonts, payment processors, hosting services, analytics services, or other third-party technologies.

Remain compatible with a website;
Continue offering particular features;
Remain free of charge;

Pubvertise may develop custom plugins, themes, software, applications, or integrations.

Unless a written agreement specifically provides otherwise, Pubvertise may retain ownership of reusable software components, frameworks, libraries, development techniques, and generic functionality developed in connection with a project.

Software may rely on third-party services, APIs, WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, databases, hosting environments, or other technologies outside Pubvertise’s control.

Pubvertise does not guarantee perpetual compatibility with future software versions or third-party systems.

Future compatibility updates may require a maintenance plan or additional fees.

The Client is responsible for:

Ensuring domain registration information is accurate;
Maintaining valid contact information;
Paying domain renewal charges;
Protecting domain account credentials; and
Renewing domains before expiration unless Pubvertise has specifically agreed to manage renewal.

10. Hosting Services

Pubvertise may offer website hosting directly or through third-party hosting providers.

Hosting services may be subject to storage, bandwidth, security, acceptable-use, resource, or technical limitations.

Pubvertise may take reasonable measures to protect hosted systems but cannot guarantee that websites will be continuously available, completely secure, or free from attacks, malware, hardware failure, software failure, network interruptions, or other technical problems.

Scheduled or emergency maintenance may temporarily affect website availability.

Pubvertise may suspend hosting when necessary to address security threats, unlawful activity, excessive resource consumption, nonpayment, or violations of these Terms.

Maintenance plans may include services such as:

WordPress updates
Plugin updates
Theme updates
Security monitoring
Backups
Content changes
Technical support
Performance monitoring

The specific services included will depend on the Client’s maintenance plan.

Work outside the scope of a maintenance plan may be billed separately.

12. Ecommerce and Payment Processing

Pubvertise may build or configure ecommerce systems and integrate payment processors such as PayPal, Stripe, Square, or other providers.

Pubvertise is not a bank, payment processor, merchant account provider, or financial institution.

Pubvertise does not guarantee:

Specific search rankings;
First-page placement;
Website traffic levels;
Advertising performance;
Lead volume;
Sales;
Revenue;
Conversion rates; or
Any particular business result.

Marketing results depend on numerous factors outside Pubvertise’s control.

Timelines may change because of:

Client delays;
Requested revisions;
Scope changes;
Third-party services;
Software issues;
Technical problems;
Hosting problems;
Vendor delays;
Force majeure events; or
Circumstances outside Pubvertise’s reasonable control.

Pubvertise will make commercially reasonable efforts to complete projects according to agreed schedules.

15. Revisions and Scope Changes

A project may include a specified number of revisions.

Requests that materially alter the original project scope may be considered additional work.

Examples include:

Adding additional pages;
Adding new features;
Changing an approved design;
Adding integrations;
Rebuilding completed functionality;
Significant content entry;
Changing ecommerce requirements; or
Adding functionality not included in the original proposal.

Pubvertise may provide an additional estimate before performing out-of-scope work.

Clients agree to pay the fees stated in the applicable proposal, invoice, service plan, order, or SOW.

Pubvertise may require:

A deposit before beginning work;
Progress or milestone payments;
Payment before launch;
Monthly recurring payments;
Annual payments; or
Payment before delivery of final files or credentials.

Unless otherwise stated, invoices are due according to the payment terms shown on the invoice.

Pubvertise may suspend work, hosting, maintenance, software access, or other services when an account becomes past due.

Unless prohibited by law, the Client is responsible for reasonable costs incurred in collecting overdue amounts.

17. Deposits and Refunds

Unless otherwise stated in writing or required by law, project deposits are non-refundable once work has begun.

Payments for completed work, completed milestones, custom programming, design work, consulting, purchased licenses, domains, third-party services, and other services already performed are generally non-refundable.

If a project is canceled before completion, the Client remains responsible for payment for work performed and expenses incurred through the cancellation date.

Any refund otherwise approved by Pubvertise will be determined based on the circumstances and applicable written agreement.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights available under applicable law.

18. Recurring Services and Automatic Renewal

Certain services, including hosting, website maintenance, software subscriptions, support plans, and other ongoing services, may automatically renew.

The applicable ordering page, proposal, invoice, or service agreement will identify recurring services and applicable charges.

Where required by law, Pubvertise will provide applicable renewal disclosures and methods for canceling recurring services.

Unless a different cancellation process is stated in the applicable service agreement, a Client may request cancellation of a recurring Pubvertise service by emailing:

info@pubvertise.com

Cancellation prevents future renewals but does not ordinarily result in a refund for services already provided or an active billing period that has already begun, except where required by law or otherwise stated in writing.

19. Suspension and Termination

Pubvertise may suspend or terminate services if a Client:

Fails to make required payments;
Violates these Terms;
Uses services for unlawful purposes;
Engages in fraud;
Creates a security risk;
Uses services to distribute malware or harmful code;
Infringes third-party rights;
Abuses Pubvertise personnel or systems; or
Materially breaches a project agreement.

Where commercially reasonable, Pubvertise will attempt to provide notice before suspension or termination.

Termination does not eliminate amounts already owed.

Violate applicable laws;
Commit fraud;
Distribute malware;
Conduct unauthorized hacking;
Send unlawful spam;
Infringe intellectual property rights;

Pubvertise reserves the right to refuse or discontinue services involving unlawful activities.

21. Security

Pubvertise may implement commercially reasonable security practices appropriate to the services being provided.

No website, server, network, software system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Clients are responsible for protecting their account credentials and promptly notifying Pubvertise if they become aware of unauthorized access or suspected security problems.

Clients should use strong passwords and appropriate security practices for accounts under their control.

22. Backups and Data

Where backups are included in a hosting or maintenance plan, Pubvertise may maintain backups as described by that service.

Clients should maintain independent copies of important business information, website content, databases, media, and other critical data.

Pubvertise does not guarantee that every backup will be complete, current, or recoverable.

23. Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential or proprietary information belonging to the other.

Pubvertise will use reasonable care to protect confidential Client information and will use such information for purposes related to providing services, administering accounts, fulfilling legal obligations, and operating its business.

Pubvertise is not responsible for the acts, omissions, outages, policy changes, pricing changes, security incidents, discontinued products, or performance of third-party providers.

Clients may be required to accept separate third-party terms.

25. Portfolio Rights

Unless the Client requests otherwise in writing or a confidentiality agreement prohibits it, Pubvertise may identify the Client as a customer and display publicly available completed work in Pubvertise’s portfolio, website, proposals, presentations, marketing materials, and social media.

Pubvertise will not intentionally disclose confidential Client information for portfolio purposes.

26. Website Accuracy

Pubvertise attempts to keep information on pubvertise.com reasonably accurate, but Website information may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or typographical mistakes.
