Flexible Month-to-Month Service

This agreement covers the £35/month care plan service. The care plan runs on a month-to-month basis with no 12-month minimum. Cancel anytime with 30 days written notice. Website hosting and domain renewals are included in the care plan. If you cancel, your site will be taken offline unless you arrange alternative hosting, and the domain will be transferred to your own registrar account.

1. SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Monthly Care Plan: £35/month

The Service Provider agrees to provide the following monthly services:

Core Services (All Clients):

  • Website hosting
  • Domain renewal and DNS management (while on Care Plan)
  • SEO monitoring and monthly tweaks
  • Google Search Console checks

Clients WITH an Admin Panel add-on (£75 one-off): Content changes (images, text, prices, etc.) are managed by the client directly via their Admin Panel. This Care Plan covers SEO monitoring, technical support, and performance — not content updates.

  • Monthly shop analytics report (sales, top products, abandoned carts)
  • Priority support for shop issues (checkout problems fixed same/next business day)

3. CANCELLATION POLICY

Month-to-Month Service - Cancel Anytime

The care plan runs on a flexible month-to-month basis with no 12-month minimum. You can cancel anytime with 30 days written notice. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. If you cancel, you must arrange alternative hosting or your site will go offline.

Consumer cooling-off (where you are a consumer)

If you are a consumer (an individual buying the Care Plan for personal use, not for your business), you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

  • To cancel during cooling-off, email jason@jdwebdesigns.com with a clear statement that you wish to cancel
  • If you ask for the Care Plan to start within the 14 days, you must give express written consent and accept that you may lose the right to cancel once the service has been fully performed
  • If you cancel during cooling-off after service has started with your consent, a proportionate charge may apply for the service already provided

Business clients are not entitled to that statutory cooling-off right. After any cooling-off period ends (or where it does not apply), the 30-day notice rules below apply.

How to Cancel:

  • Send 30 days written notice to jason@jdwebdesigns.com
  • Service continues through the 30-day notice period
  • No cancellation fees at any time
  • No refunds for partial months or unused updates after any applicable cooling-off period
  • Final payment covers your last month of service

What Happens When You Cancel:

  • You retain full ownership of your website files and content
  • Your website hosting will end - your site will go offline unless you arrange alternative hosting
  • Domain will be transferred to your own registrar account at no extra cost
  • Monthly reports, SEO monitoring, and support end after notice period
  • You're responsible for your own hosting, domain renewals, and maintenance going forward
  • All completed work remains yours
