For actual project engagements, the binding agreement is the fully executed Master Service Agreement (MSA) and Statement of Work (SOW). These Terms supplement — but do not replace — the MSA and SOW.
This document is not legal advice. Consult independent legal counsel for matters specific to your situation.

3. Site Audit Tool
The Site offers a complimentary audit tool that uses Google PageSpeed Insights to evaluate publicly accessible websites. By submitting a URL, you confirm that you are authorized to request an analysis of that website. Results are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of performance, security, or compliance. Company makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of audit results.
4. Client Portal
Access to the Client Command Center portal requires authorized credentials and is governed by your executed service agreement with The AI Shop. Portal use is subject to these Terms and any separate portal terms presented at login. Company may suspend portal access for non-payment or breach of any executed agreement.
5. Website Use
5.1 Permitted Use
You may use the Site to learn about our services, review portfolio work, and initiate contact. You agree not to: (a) use the Site for any unlawful purpose; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems; (c) scrape, copy, or republish Site content without our written consent; or (d) submit false or misleading information through any contact form.
5.2 No Reliance on Site Content
Content on the Site, including pricing estimates, service descriptions, timelines, and examples, is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute a binding offer, representation, or warranty. All binding terms are set exclusively in executed contracts as described in Section 6.
5.3 Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any third-party content, products, or services.
6. Proposals and Contract Formation
6.1 Proposals Are Not Contracts
Any Proposal, estimate, quote, or summary we send you is for discussion purposes only. A Proposal does not constitute a binding contract, offer, or commitment to deliver services at any stated price or timeline. No contract of any kind is formed by a Proposal alone, or in combination with any email, verbal communication, or deposit payment.
6.2 Binding Agreement Requires MSA + SOW
The only binding agreement is the fully executed The AI Shop Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) and applicable Statement of Work (“SOW”), each signed by authorized representatives of both parties. No services will begin, no deposit will be invoiced, and no build schedule slot will be reserved until both documents are fully executed.
6.3 No Pre-Contract Payments
Company will not accept, process, or retain any payment tendered before the MSA and SOW are fully executed. Any payment received before execution will be returned.
6.4 Price Confirmation
Prices, scope, and timelines in any Proposal are estimates subject to change. The binding payment amounts are those set exclusively in the executed SOW, which must have all dollar fields populated before signature. A signed SOW with blank payment fields is not an executed SOW.
7. Services
7.1 Scope
Services are described in each executed SOW and may include: custom website design and development (Next.js / React / Vercel), AI site audit and audience analysis, AI-assisted copywriting, SEO foundations, Google Analytics 4 setup, contact / lead capture forms, and Monthly Care maintenance plans.
7.2 Standard of Performance
We deliver all websites with: (a) responsive design tested at mobile (375px+), tablet (768px+), and desktop (1280px+); (b) Google PageSpeed Insights score of 70+ on mobile; (c) compatibility with current and immediately prior major releases of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge; (d) WCAG 2.1 Level A accessibility compliance; (e) security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy); and (f) SEO metadata on all public pages.
7.3 Change Orders
Changes to agreed project scope require a written change order signed by both parties. We will quote any requested change within three (3) business days of the request. Additional revisions beyond the single consolidated round included in the SOW are billed at $250/hour.
7.4 Timeline
The project start date (and 30-day build clock) begins only after Company confirms in writing receipt of all required materials listed in the SOW and the deposit has been received. Timelines extend day-for-day for Client delays in providing required materials.
7.5 Not Included (Change Order Required)
Unless expressly listed in the SOW, the following are excluded: content migration, e-commerce / payment processing, LMS, photography, video, custom illustration, logo design, ongoing SEO campaigns, paid advertising, email marketing, and third-party integrations not listed.
8. AI Content
8.1 AI-Assisted Deliverables
Where a SOW includes AI-assisted copywriting or AI site audit services: (a) AI-generated content without sufficient human authorship may not be independently copyrightable under current U.S. law; (b) Company incorporates human editorial review of AI outputs; (c) Client is strongly encouraged to review, edit, and substantially adapt all AI-generated content before publication to ensure adequate human authorship and factual accuracy; and (d) Client's approval of AI-generated content constitutes Client's acceptance of that content.
8.2 No Warranty on AI Outputs
Company does not warrant that AI-generated content is free from third-party IP claims arising from AI training data. Client bears responsibility for any third-party claims arising from content Client approves and publishes without material human editing.
8.3 AI System Actions
Actions taken by Company's AI systems (automated recommendations, content generation, scheduling) are treated as automated processing outputs, not intentional acts of Company, unless Company had actual knowledge of a specific defect and failed to correct it within a commercially reasonable time after written notice.
9. Payment
9.1 Fee Structure
Project fees are split 25% deposit (due upon SOW execution) and 75% final payment (due before go-live). Monthly Care fees are billed on the same calendar date each month.
9.2 Late Payment
Invoices unpaid thirty (30) calendar days past the due date accrue interest at 1.5% per month (18% annually), or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.
9.3 Suspension for Non-Payment
Company may suspend services for non-payment after thirty (30) calendar days past the due date, upon five (5) business days' prior written notice.
9.4 Taxes
Fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes. Client is responsible for all applicable sales, use, and similar taxes.
10. Monthly Care Plan — Automatic Renewal
Automatic Renewal Disclosure — California Bus. & Prof. Code §§17600–17606
Monthly Care Plans are subscription services that automatically renew every month until you cancel. California law requires the following disclosures:
Subscription Prices (recurring charges):
- Basic Care Plan: $250.00 per month
- Premium Care Plan: $500.00 per month
Rate changes require 60 days' written notice and your affirmative written acceptance before taking effect.
Renewal Period: Your subscription renews automatically every month on the same date each month. You will be charged the monthly rate to the payment method on file on each renewal date without further notice.
How to Cancel:
- If subscribed via executed SOW: cancel via email to the address in your SOW, with 30 days' written notice
- If subscribed via Client Command Center portal: cancel through the portal, with 30 days' written notice
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.
Continuation Until Canceled: Your subscription will continue and you will be charged each month until you affirmatively cancel.
Your affirmative consent is required before any Care Plan charge is processed. Consent is provided in the executed SOW or through the portal's acknowledgment flow — not by reviewing this website alone.
11. Intellectual Property
11.1 Your Materials
You retain all rights in content, brand assets, and materials you provide to us. You grant us a limited license to use your materials solely to perform the agreed services.
11.2 Deliverables — Assignment on Full Payment
Upon receipt of full and final payment, Company assigns to Client all ownership rights in the Deliverables specified in the applicable SOW, including the website codebase, design files, and configuration documentation. Until full payment is received, Company retains a purchase money security interest in all Deliverables.
11.3 Provider IP
Company retains all right, title, and interest in its pre-existing tools, frameworks, AI methodologies, NanoClaw agent infrastructure, proprietary AI prompts, and system designs (“Provider IP”), whether or not incorporated into Deliverables. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Provider IP to Client.
11.4 License to Provider IP
Upon full payment, Company grants Client a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use Provider IP incorporated into or necessary for the operation of Client's Deliverables, solely for Client's internal business purposes. Client may not resell, distribute, or create standalone derivative works of Provider IP.
11.5 Portfolio Use
Company may reference the Client relationship and general nature of the engagement in our portfolio and marketing materials unless you provide written notice to opt out.
12. No Guarantee of Results
Company does not warrant or guarantee specific business outcomes, including revenue, lead volume, search engine rankings, conversion rates, or any other metric. Business results depend on many factors beyond Company's control. Search engine rankings and organic traffic may fluctuate following a site launch or migration — this is a normal, expected effect and is not a breach of any agreement.
13. Third-Party Services
Company is not responsible for outages, data loss, security incidents, or service disruptions caused by third-party platforms, including but not limited to Google, Stripe, Slack, Vercel, Supabase, and n8n. Fees charged by third-party services are not included in project or care plan fees.
14. Site Transition
When a new site replaces an existing site: Client is solely responsible for backing up their existing website, database, and all associated data before launch. Company will not proceed with the DNS cutover until Client has confirmed in writing that a complete backup has been made. Company is not responsible for preserving, archiving, migrating, or restoring the prior site or its content after the DNS cutover following Client's written backup confirmation.
15. Limitation of Liability

16. Confidentiality
Each party shall hold the other party's non-public, confidential information in strict confidence and use it only for purposes of the engagement. Confidentiality obligations survive expiration or termination of any agreement for two (2) years; trade secret obligations continue indefinitely.
17. Data and Privacy
Company's collection and use of personal data submitted through the Site is governed by our Privacy Policy, incorporated into these Terms by reference. For client engagements, the data protection terms in the executed MSA (and any applicable Data Processing Agreement) govern.

Mediator fees are shared equally. If mediation does not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days of the mediator's appointment, either party may proceed to litigation.
19.3 Governing Law
These Terms and any engagement with Company are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
19.4 Jurisdiction and Venue
Any legal action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California. Each party irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
19.5 Attorneys' Fees
The prevailing party in any legal action to enforce these Terms or any agreement is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
20. Term and Termination
20.1 Project Engagements
Fixed-scope engagements (site builds) are governed by the applicable SOW and terminate upon delivery of Deliverables and receipt of full payment.
20.2 Monthly Care Termination
Either party may terminate Monthly Care with thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice. Client remains responsible for the current billing cycle fee upon termination.

For actual project engagements, the executed MSA and SOW constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior discussions, proposals, and communications. These Terms govern website use and supplement the MSA/SOW.
21.2 Amendments

21.3 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
21.4 No Waiver
Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it in the future.

Company is an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship.
21.6 No Assignment
You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without Company's prior written consent. Company may assign in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
