About these terms

These terms govern your use of siteshiftco.com (the "site") and any website migration or related service we provide (the "services"). "We", "us", and "our" refer to SiteShiftCo, operated by a Wyoming-registered company in the United States. "You" refers to the person or business using the site or engaging our services.

For each engagement we also agree a written scope (by email or in a short proposal). Where that written scope and these terms disagree, the written scope wins for that project.

Using the site

You may read the site, share links to it, and use the information on it for your own research. You may not scrape the site at scale, resell its content, or attempt to disrupt its operation. The written content on this site is ours unless credited otherwise.

Engaging us for a migration

You can start by sending an enquiry through the contact form or by email. We'll review what you have and reply with questions, an indicative fit (Starter, Core, or Custom), and a rough timeline. Nothing is binding until we've agreed scope and price in writing and you've paid the deposit.

What's included

Each tier on the pricing page describes what's included by default. A written scope confirms:

The pages and content being migrated
The source platform and destination stack
The design approach (light refresh, visual match, or full rebuild)
Integrations being carried over or added (for example, contact forms, bookings, newsletter)
Technical SEO work (redirects, metadata, structured data, sitemap)
Any assumptions we're relying on

What's not included unless we agree it

Ongoing content updates after launch
New feature development that wasn't in the original scope
Marketing, SEO campaigns, paid ads, or content writing
Graphic design work beyond the agreed design approach
Third-party subscriptions (hosting, domain, email, booking tools, etc.), which you pay for directly in your own accounts

Changes to scope

If you want to add or change something mid-project, let us know. Small adjustments are usually fine. Larger changes that affect effort or timeline will be quoted as a separate line item before we start on them.

Your responsibilities

To keep a project moving, you agree to:

Give us timely access to the source platform, domain registrar, and any tools we need to do the work (read-only where possible)
Provide the content, brand assets, and copy changes we need within the timelines we agree
Review draft builds and give feedback within a reasonable window
Confirm that you have the right to use any content, images, or code you give us
Keep your login credentials secure and let us know promptly if they change

If a project stalls because we're waiting on content or feedback for more than 30 days, we may pause it and resume when you're ready. A long pause (over 90 days) may require a small re-onboarding fee to rebuild context.

Timelines

Timelines we quote (for example, "1 to 2 weeks" for a Starter migration) are indicative. They assume content and access are available promptly. We'll keep you posted if anything affects the schedule. We don't guarantee specific delivery dates unless we've confirmed one in writing for your project.

Fees and payment

Unless the written scope says otherwise:

A 50% deposit is payable before we start work.
The remaining balance is payable on delivery, before we transfer the code and launch the site to your domain.
Invoices are due within 7 days of issue.
Prices are quoted in the currency stated on the invoice and, unless stated otherwise, exclude any taxes (such as GST or VAT) that may apply.

Late payments may incur interest of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, if lower) on the outstanding balance. We reserve the right to pause work or hold delivery until invoices are settled.

Who owns what

Your content and brand

You own everything you give us: your copy, images, logos, and any content we migrate from your existing site. You grant us a limited licence to use those materials for the purpose of carrying out the project.

The finished site

On full payment, you own the code and content we deliver for your site. We hand over the project as a git repository, under your control. You can host it anywhere, edit it directly, or hire someone else to work on it. There is no ongoing licence to us.

Third-party code

Your site will include open-source libraries and frameworks (for example, Astro, Tailwind, and similar tools). Those remain under their original open-source licences. We only use libraries with licences that allow commercial use.

Our work product

We keep the right to reuse general skills, techniques, and non-client-specific code patterns on other projects. We may list your project in a non-confidential portfolio reference (brand name, site link, short description) unless you ask us not to.

Revisions

Each tier includes one round of feedback and revisions on the draft build before launch. Further rounds, or changes after launch, are quoted separately.

Hosting, domains, and third-party services

We typically deploy migrated sites to Cloudflare Pages (or a similar static host) using your own account. You remain the account holder and bill-payer for hosting, your domain, any email service, and any third-party tools. We can help you set these up, but the contracts are between you and those providers.

Warranties

We'll carry out the services with reasonable care and skill. For 30 days after launch, we'll fix at no extra charge any defects in our work that mean the site isn't functioning as described in the scope. This doesn't cover:

Changes you (or a third party) make to the code or content after delivery
Issues caused by third-party services, browsers, or platforms outside our control
New feature requests
Content changes

Beyond this, the services are provided on an "as is" basis and we don't offer any other express or implied warranties, to the extent the law allows. Nothing in these terms limits consumer rights you have under applicable law that can't be waived.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with the services is limited to the fees you have paid us for the project that gave rise to the claim in the 12 months before the claim arose.

We won't be liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data (beyond reasonable recovery steps), or reputational harm. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or anything that can't be excluded by law.

Confidentiality

If you share information with us that is marked as, or obviously, confidential (for example, analytics, customer lists, commercial strategy), we'll only use it for the project and won't share it with anyone outside our project team. This doesn't apply to information that's already public, that you tell us is public, or that we're required to disclose by law.

Cancellation

You can cancel a project at any time by emailing us. If you cancel before we've started work, we'll refund the deposit less any out-of-pocket costs already incurred. If you cancel part-way through, we'll invoice for work completed up to that point against the deposit, and refund anything unused. We can cancel a project if invoices go unpaid for more than 30 days or if the working relationship becomes untenable, and will invoice for work done to that point.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against reasonable claims from third parties that arise because you gave us content we didn't have the right to use, or because you used the site or the services in breach of these terms or applicable law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as our service changes. The "last updated" date at the bottom of this page reflects the current version. For active projects, the terms in force on the date we confirmed your written scope continue to apply to that project.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or the services will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts, unless local consumer protection law gives you rights to your own courts.
