Website terms of use

Acceptance and authority

These website terms are an agreement between you and BUSINESS MATE HOLDINGS LLC, doing business as PlinthWeb. By accessing or using plinthweb.com, you agree to these terms and the privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

You must be able to form a binding contract where you live. If you use the site for a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to act for it and “you” includes that organization.

Site purpose; no professional advice

The site describes capabilities, starting prices, processes, examples, and general educational material. It is not a binding offer, final quote, service-level commitment, or promise that PlinthWeb will accept a project. Content may become outdated and should be confirmed in a written proposal.

Site and assistant content is general information, not legal, tax, accounting, financial, cybersecurity, accessibility-certification, employment, or other regulated professional advice. You remain responsible for qualified advice and decisions affecting your organization.

Permitted use

You may use the site for lawful internal business evaluation, communication, and reference. You may not interfere with the site, evade access or rate limits, probe for vulnerabilities without written permission, introduce malicious code, scrape at a disruptive scale, impersonate another person, submit unlawful material, use the site to violate another party’s rights, or attempt to extract system prompts, credentials, source data, or protected infrastructure.

We may restrict or block access reasonably believed to threaten the site, providers, PlinthWeb, customers, or other users. Security research requires prior written authorization and an agreed scope.

Website intellectual property

The site’s code, design system, text, graphics, brand elements, demonstrations, and organization are owned by PlinthWeb or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These terms give you only a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to access the site for its intended purpose.

PlinthWeb and related marks may not be used to imply endorsement. You may link to public pages in a lawful and non-misleading way, but may not frame the site or copy substantial portions without written permission or a legal exception.

Messages and submitted materials

You keep ownership of information and materials you provide. You grant PlinthWeb a non-exclusive permission to receive, copy, review, and use them only as reasonably necessary to respond, assess a potential project, protect the service, and comply with law. You represent that you have the right to provide them for those purposes.

Do not send confidential information until PlinthWeb has agreed in writing to receive it confidentially. Sending a message does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, employment, partnership, or paid-service relationship.

AI assistant

The assistant can make mistakes, omit context, or produce outdated or unsuitable information. Verify important information independently and do not use its output as professional advice, a final scope, an approval, or authorization to spend money or change a live system.

You may not use the assistant to submit sensitive or regulated information, violate law or another party’s rights, generate harmful content, test unauthorized access, or exceed reasonable use limits. We may change, limit, or discontinue the assistant without notice.

Paid services require a signed agreement

A paid engagement begins only when authorized representatives sign an agreement, statement of work, order form, or other written instrument that identifies the parties, scope, fees, schedule, responsibilities, acceptance, intellectual property, support, and change process. That signed instrument controls over this page for the paid engagement.

Proposals and estimates expire as stated, may depend on discovery, and exclude taxes, media spend, third-party charges, and out-of-scope work unless expressly included. Email discussions, drafts, and site content do not amend a signed agreement unless the agreement’s change process is followed.

Website subscription summary

Published $0-upfront website plans contemplate a 24-month initial service commitment beginning with the first successful monthly payment. The signed agreement sets the selected plan, payment authorization, launch dependencies, suspension rights, early-termination charge, renewal or post-term service, and handoff process.

Client-provided or client-funded copy, media, business data, domains, analytics properties, advertising accounts, business profiles, and other business accounts remain the client’s property. Transferable custom design and project code transfer only after all 24 initial monthly payments and other amounts due are paid. PlinthWeb’s pre-existing tools, reusable components, know-how, open-source software, and third-party materials remain subject to their separate ownership and license terms.

Scope, dependencies, and approvals

Page counts, revisions, edit minutes, deliverables, publishing cadence, response windows, and optimization work are limited to the signed scope and do not roll over unless that agreement says so. Domains, email, paid software, ecommerce, integrations, photography, translation, media spend, taxes, and third-party fees are separate unless expressly included.

Customers remain responsible for timely access, accurate instructions, lawful content, licenses, privacy notices, regulated claims, approvals, and a decision-maker. Delays, conflicting feedback, unavailable providers, or changed requirements can move the schedule and require a change order.

Portfolio disclosures

Entries labeled as client work describe the identified engagement. Entries labeled as concepts, fictional brands, demonstrations, or showcases are original examples created to demonstrate design and development range. They are not customer projects, testimonials, launches, awards, or claims of measured business results.

Third-party services and links

The site may link to or depend on hosting, AI, email, platform, open-source, and other third-party services. PlinthWeb does not control their terms, content, security, pricing, availability, or changes. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider’s terms.

No guaranteed outcomes

Design, software, automation, marketing, search, hosting, and advisory work can support business objectives, but no site statement guarantees rankings, traffic, leads, revenue, conversion rates, uninterrupted availability, platform approval, legal compliance, or any other outcome controlled by customers, audiences, markets, regulators, or third parties.

Website disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE, ASSISTANT, AND PUBLIC CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so they apply only to the extent permitted.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLINTHWEB AND ITS OWNERS, PERSONNEL, CONTRACTORS, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION ARISING FROM THE PUBLIC SITE. THEIR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID PLINTHWEB SPECIFICALLY FOR SITE ACCESS DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT. A SIGNED CLIENT AGREEMENT GOVERNS LIABILITY FOR PAID SERVICES.

Responsibility for misuse

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PlinthWeb, its owner, personnel, and providers from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the site, your submitted materials, or your violation of another party’s rights. This does not require indemnification for PlinthWeb’s own fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that law does not permit it to shift.

Governing law and disputes

These website terms are governed by Florida law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, each party will give written notice and allow 30 days for a good-faith business resolution, unless immediate relief is reasonably necessary to prevent misuse, infringement, or irreparable harm.

Subject to any non-waivable law, exclusive jurisdiction and venue lie in the state courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida, or the federal court serving that county. Each party consents to those courts. Nothing here limits rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

Changes and general terms

We may update these terms prospectively by posting a revised version and effective date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. Material changes will receive additional notice when required.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement for use of the public site, and do not create third-party beneficiary rights.
