Terms of Service

By accessing holtcreativecompany.com or using our client portal, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or portal.

The site and portal are operated by Holt Creative Co. (Andrew Holt, sole proprietor), Valdosta, Georgia. Contact: andrewholt2005@gmail.com.

Web design, hosting, and maintenance services. The specific deliverables, pricing, and timelines for any paid project are defined in a separate written agreement signed by you and us. Nothing on this site is a binding offer until a signed agreement and payment are in place. These Terms govern your use of the website and client portal only; paid client projects remain governed by your signed Web Design Agreement, which controls if there is any conflict.

If you receive portal access, you agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials confidential, take responsibility for activity under your account, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate access for violations, non-payment, or misuse.

Paid plans are billed through Stripe according to your signed agreement. Build fees and one-time charges are due as stated in your order form. Recurring hosting and maintenance subscriptions are billed monthly and renew automatically until cancelled. You may cancel a subscription at any time by contacting us at andrewholt2005@gmail.com; cancellation stops future charges but does not refund fees already paid. Build deposits are refundable before work has begun; once work has begun, build fees are non-refundable. Recurring subscription fees are non-refundable.

You agree not to use the site or portal to break the law, infringe others' rights, upload malware, attempt unauthorized access, or interfere with operation or security.

Through the client portal you may upload content such as photos, logos, text, and other materials for use in your project ("Your Content"). You retain ownership of Your Content. By uploading it, you grant Holt Creative Co. a non-exclusive license to use, store, reproduce, and modify it solely to provide and deliver your project and our services. You represent that you own Your Content or have the rights to share it and that it does not infringe any third party's rights. We may remove any content that we reasonably believe is unlawful, infringing, or violates these Terms.

The site's design, text, logos, and content are owned by Holt Creative Co. unless otherwise noted. For client projects, ownership of deliverables is governed by your signed agreement and chosen plan. Until a project is paid in full, all work product remains our property.

The site and portal rely on third parties such as Stripe and our hosting provider. We are not responsible for their acts, outages, or terms, and links to third-party sites are not endorsements.

The site and portal are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fully secure. We do not guarantee specific business results such as search rankings, traffic, or revenue.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Holt Creative Co. and its owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site or portal will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the prior three months or $100.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Holt Creative Co. and its owner from claims arising from your misuse of the site or portal or your violation of these Terms.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the site or portal at any time. Provisions on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification survive termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Lowndes County, Georgia.

We may update these Terms; continued use after changes means you accept them.
