Flexible Month-to-Month Service
This agreement covers JDWebDesigns Monthly Care Plan services. The care plan runs month-to-month with no 12-month minimum. Cancel anytime with 30 days written notice. Website hosting and domain renewals are included while you remain on 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.
Your monthly fee is the amount agreed in writing (email, message, or quote) and shown on your GoCardless subscription. Published rates are below. Where a different rate was agreed (including early-client or custom shop rates), that agreed rate applies until varied in writing.
CARE PLAN RATES
- Standard Care Plan: £35/month — brochure / service websites (non-shop)
- Shop / Enquiry Basket Care Plan: from £40/month — stock catalogues and enquiry-basket sites (no card checkout). Exact rate as agreed in writing
- E-Commerce Care Plan: £50/month — shops with online card payment (e.g. Stripe / Snipcart)
If your written quote or GoCardless subscription states a different monthly amount, that amount is your Care Plan fee under this agreement.
