Terms of Service & Cancellation Policy
Last updated October 27, 2026
These terms apply to every website subscription sold on southcarolinawebdesigns.com. “We”, “us” and “South Carolina Web Designs” mean Varna SEO Agency Ltd., which operates the South Carolina Web Designs brand. “You” means the business that subscribes. By subscribing, you agree to these terms.
1. The service
Your subscription includes a custom website for your business, hosting, maintenance, security updates and the features of the plan you choose (The Core Package or The Growth System) as described on our pricing page. Local SEO is a separate add-on with its own agreement and price.
2. Month-to-month billing
- There is no long-term contract. Your subscription renews monthly on the same date you first subscribed, until you cancel.
- There is no separate build fee. Your first monthly payment covers the design and build of your website.
- The first month’s payment is non-refundable, because design and build work begins immediately.
- To stop future charges, cancel before your next billing date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the month you have already paid for.
- No prorated refunds are given for cancellations in the middle of a billing month.
- If a payment fails and is not resolved within 14 days, we may pause the website until the account is brought up to date.
3. Launch timeline
We launch your website within 14 days of receiving your completed onboarding details (services, service area, contact details, logo and any photos or content you want to use) and, if you already own a domain, the access needed to connect it. Time spent waiting on information, approvals or domain access from you is not counted toward the 14 days.
4. Who owns what
You own your domain and your data
You keep 100% ownership of your domain name and of your customer data and leads, at all times, whether or not you remain a subscriber. If you don’t have a domain, we register one for you at no additional charge, in your business’s name, and keep it renewed while your subscription is active. On request, and after cancellation, we transfer the domain to you or your new provider and export your leads.
We own the website code and design
The website code, design, templates and site structure we create remain our property and are licensed to you for as long as your subscription is active. Content you supply (your logo, photos, testimonials and business information) remains yours. If you cancel, the website goes offline at the end of your paid month, unless you pay the buyout fee below to take the website code and design with you.
5. Buyout schedule
The buyout fee depends on how many consecutive months you have been subscribed when you request it:
| Months subscribed | Buyout fee |
|---|---|
| Months 1–6 | $2,500 |
| Months 7–12 | $2,000 |
| Months 13–24 | $1,500 |
| Months 25–36 | $750 |
| After 36 months | $0 (free transfer) |
After the buyout is paid, we deliver a copy of the website files and help move the site to the host you choose. Third-party tools that run on our systems (lead routing, AI Missed Call Text Back and the Review Engine) are services, not code, and end with the subscription.
6. Unlimited basic edits (fair use)
“Unlimited basic edits” means changes to existing content: text changes, image swaps and promotional banners. It does not include building entirely new pages, new sections or custom features (for example booking systems, e-commerce or third-party integrations). That work is billed hourly, and we always quote it before starting. Growth System subscribers get priority same-day edits for requests received on business days (Mon–Fri, 8 am–6 pm Eastern).
7. Your responsibilities
- The information you give us (licenses, prices, service areas, photos, reviews) must be accurate and yours to use. We publish credentials and claims only as you provide them.
- When you use the Review Engine or text customers through our tools, you confirm that each customer has given you their number and agreed to be contacted, and you follow applicable texting rules.
- You keep your Google Business Profile and other accounts in your own name.
8. Third-party services
Payments are processed by Stripe. Hosting, texting and email are provided through third-party infrastructure. We are not responsible for outages of third-party services but will work to restore your site promptly.
9. Results
We build every site to bring in calls and leads, but we cannot guarantee specific rankings, traffic or revenue. Search engines and customers decide those.
10. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will email active subscribers at least 30 days before a change that affects price or ownership takes effect. Changes never apply retroactively to buyout fees you have already earned down.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina.
