These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website aralostudio.com and any web design, development, SEO, or related services provided by Aralo Studio ("we," "us," or "our"), a sole proprietorship based in Meridian, Idaho, operated by Jeremy Howard.
By using this website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully before proceeding.
1. Services
Aralo Studio provides custom website design and development, visual identity design, search engine optimization (SEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), Google Business Profile setup and management, and website hosting and maintenance services. The specific scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for each project are agreed upon in writing (via email or a separate project agreement) before work begins.
We reserve the right to decline any project at our discretion.
2. Payment Terms
One-time project fees are due as specified in the project agreement. Monthly hosting and maintenance fees are billed on a recurring basis through Stripe. All prices are listed in U.S. dollars.
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the agreed amount. We do not store your payment card details.
Monthly plans may be cancelled with 30 days written notice sent to jeremy@aralostudio.com. No refunds are issued for partial months already billed.
3. Project Revisions
Each service plan includes a specified number of revision rounds as described on our pricing page (1 round for Minimum, 2 rounds for Plus, 3 rounds for Premium). A revision round is defined as a single consolidated set of changes submitted after reviewing a design or development deliverable. Requests beyond the included revision rounds will be quoted and billed separately.
4. Client Responsibilities
To complete your project on time, you agree to provide all required content (text, images, logos, and other materials) in a timely manner. Project timelines are contingent on prompt client feedback and content delivery. Delays caused by late content or feedback may extend the stated delivery timeline.
You represent that you own or have the legal right to use all content you provide to us, and that such content does not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights.
5. Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of full payment for a completed project, you own the final website design and all custom content created specifically for your project. We retain the right to display the completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials unless you request otherwise in writing.
Third-party assets used in your project (such as stock photos, fonts, or plugins) remain subject to their respective licenses. We will inform you of any third-party licensing requirements that apply to your project.
6. Hosting and Maintenance
Monthly hosting and maintenance plans include website hosting, security updates, and minor content updates as described in the plan details. We make reasonable efforts to maintain uptime and site security, but we do not guarantee 100% uptime and are not liable for losses resulting from hosting interruptions outside our control.
If a monthly plan is cancelled or payment lapses, hosting services may be suspended after a reasonable notice period. You are responsible for maintaining a backup of your website files.
7. SEO and AEO Services
We provide on-page SEO and AEO optimization based on current best practices. We do not guarantee specific search engine rankings, placement in AI-generated answers, or particular traffic levels. Search engine and AI platform algorithms change frequently and are outside our control. Results vary based on industry, competition, content quality, and other factors.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Aralo Studio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of our services or this website, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.
Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or our services shall be resolved in the courts of Ada County, Idaho.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
