Service Agreement.

The terms we work under. Plain English. No surprises. This is the agreement you'll sign before we start your project - it's published here so you can read it before we ever talk.

Draft pending legal review. This version is published for transparency while it is with counsel. The ownership and payment terms in Sections 6 and 7 were revised on 4 August 2026 and have not yet been approved by a lawyer. Nothing here is offered as legal advice, and the signed Statement of Work will always state the terms that actually govern your engagement. If a clause matters to your decision, ask before you sign and we will confirm it in writing.

Effective Upon deposit payment

This Agreement is entered into between Barak Laniado, doing business as World Class Sites ("World Class Sites," "we," "us") and [Client name and business name] ("Client," "you").

By engaging World Class Sites and paying the deposit invoice, both parties agree to the terms below.

01Scope of work

World Class Sites will design and build a custom website for the Client, deployed to the Client's specified primary domain. The engagement is for the build selected on the Statement of Work / deposit invoice - one of:

Every build includes:

This Agreement covers the single selected build for one (1) business at one (1) primary domain. Additional pages beyond the selected build's page count, separate businesses, or additional domains require a separate engagement.

02Timeline

World Class Sites commits to delivering the completed site within the delivery window for the selected build, measured in calendar days from receipt of all required materials (see Section 4):

The delivery clock begins when all materials are received and acknowledged in writing by World Class Sites. Delays in providing materials extend the delivery date proportionally and are not the responsibility of World Class Sites.

On-time guarantee: if World Class Sites misses the agreed delivery window for reasons attributable to World Class Sites (and not to Client delays or change requests), the Client receives a $500 USD credit against the final balance.

03Pricing & payment

The total fee depends on the selected build. The prices below are founder prices, offered on the first three (3) client projects World Class Sites accepts in total. Once those three are committed, World Class Sites will publish a revised price on worldclasssites.com; no other price is promised, implied, or represented as a saving. The applicable price is the one stated on the Statement of Work / deposit invoice and is fixed for the duration of the engagement.

Any add-ons or recurring plans selected by the Client are priced as published on worldclasssites.com and itemized on the invoice. Payment for the build is structured as follows:

The exact deposit and balance amounts (50% of the agreed total each) are stated on the Statement of Work / deposit invoice. Payments are invoiced via PayPal, in U.S. dollars. Where PayPal offers guest checkout in Client's country, Client may pay by credit or debit card without holding a PayPal account; where it does not, a PayPal account is required. Any alternative payment method must be agreed in writing before the deposit invoice is issued. Invoices include all paperwork required for Client's bookkeeping.

04Client responsibilities

Client shall provide the following materials before the 7-day delivery clock begins:

Client is responsible for the accuracy, legality, and ownership rights of all content provided. World Class Sites assumes no liability for copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property claims arising from Client-provided materials.

05Revisions

Two (2) rounds of revisions are included. A "round" consists of consolidated feedback delivered in a single message; piecemeal feedback may be batched into a single round at World Class Sites' discretion.

Revisions beyond the included two rounds, or scope changes that materially alter the original brief, are billed at $150/hour, agreed in advance and itemized.

06Approval, delivery & transfer

Where the site lives before handover. During production the site is built and hosted on a private preview URL controlled by World Class Sites. Client may view it at any time and share it with colleagues, but it is not deployed to Client's domain and is not transferred until Sections 6.2 and 6.3 are satisfied. Client's domain remains registered in Client's own name and under Client's control throughout.

6.1 - What "site approval" means. The site is approved only when Client confirms in writing (email is sufficient) that the work is accepted. Silence is not approval. World Class Sites will not treat a lack of response as acceptance, will not invoice the balance against silence, and will not deploy or transfer anything on that basis.

6.2 - If Client stops responding. Because silence is not approval, an unanswered project cannot simply sit open indefinitely. The following applies from the date World Class Sites requests sign-off, or requests materials or feedback needed to continue, in writing:

Client may restart at any point before Day 90 by responding in writing. After termination, restarting is a new engagement: scope and price are re-quoted at the rates published at that time, and the retained deposit is credited against it at World Class Sites' discretion. Nothing in this Section limits Client's right to respond, approve, and complete the project normally within the periods above.

6.3 - Final payment. The balance invoice is issued on written approval under 6.1 and is due within fourteen (14) days. Ownership assignment and account transfer are triggered by receipt of final payment, not by approval alone.

6.4 - Transfer. Within five (5) business days of receipt of final payment, World Class Sites will:

6.5 - Access after warranty. Within five (5) business days of the warranty period ending, World Class Sites will remove its remaining collaborator access from Client's GitHub and Vercel accounts. From that point no World Class Sites account, credential, subscription, or approval is involved in the operation of the site.

07Ownership of the deliverables

7.1 - Assignment. Upon receipt of final payment in full, World Class Sites assigns to Client all right, title, and interest, including copyright, in the bespoke deliverables created specifically for Client under this Agreement - the page designs, the custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript written for this build, and the arrangement of Client's content within it. The assignment is worldwide, perpetual, and irrevocable. Client may use, modify, extend, relocate, or engage any third party to work on the deliverables without reference to World Class Sites.

7.2 - What is not assigned. The assignment in 7.1 does not transfer, because these are not Client-specific creations:

7.3 - Licence to the retained materials. To the extent any pre-existing material of World Class Sites is embedded in the deliverables, World Class Sites grants Client a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, modify, and sublicense that material as part of the deliverables - including if Client later sells the business or the site. This licence survives termination and requires no further payment.

7.4 - Client materials. Client's content, logo, photography, trade marks, and copy remain Client's property at all times and are unaffected by this Agreement.

7.5 - Portfolio use. World Class Sites may display the delivered site, and screenshots of it, in its portfolio and marketing, and may describe the work performed. Client may withdraw this permission in writing at any time. No confidential business information is published without Client's separate written consent.

7.6 - Before final payment. Until final payment is received in full, all rights in the deliverables remain with World Class Sites and Client's access is limited to viewing the private preview. Nothing in this Section grants Client the right to deploy, copy, or reuse the work before payment.

In plain English: once the project is paid for, what we built for you is yours - outright, to change, move, or hand to another developer, with nothing owed to us afterwards. We keep only our own general tooling and know-how, and open-source pieces keep their own licences; you get a permanent free licence to whatever bits of those are baked into your site. Your logo, photos, and words were always yours. Before final payment, the site sits on our private preview URL - that is the only thing that changes hands at payment.

08Warranty & post-launch support

30-day bug warranty. For thirty (30) days from final delivery, World Class Sites will fix - free of charge - any defect in the work it built (broken functionality, layout faults, or errors introduced during the build).

7 days of free tweaks. For seven (7) days from final delivery, World Class Sites additionally includes free minor adjustments such as text edits, link updates, image swaps, and small CSS changes.

Neither the warranty nor the free-tweak window covers: new features, design changes, scope expansions, third-party integrations beyond what was originally agreed, or modifications to content provided by Client. Such work is billed separately at the standard hourly rate.

After these windows, World Class Sites is not responsible for ongoing site maintenance. Client owns the deliverables under Section 7 and is the sole operator of the deployed site. An optional Care Plan (published pricing on worldclasssites.com) is available for clients who want ongoing edits, updates, and monitoring; it is never required, and the site remains fully functional whether or not the Client subscribes.

09Refunds

Refund requests must be submitted in writing within fourteen (14) days of final delivery. Refunds are at the sole discretion of World Class Sites and are subject to the following:

In rare cases of mutual agreement to terminate the engagement, partial refunds may be issued at World Class Sites' discretion based on the proportion of work completed and delivered.

10Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information shared during the engagement, including but not limited to: business strategy, customer lists, pricing data, technical implementations, and proprietary methods. This obligation survives termination of this Agreement for two (2) years.

Personal data submitted through worldclasssites.com or exchanged during the engagement is handled as described in the privacy notice.

11Limitation of liability

World Class Sites' total liability under this Agreement, regardless of the cause of action, shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by Client under this Agreement.

World Class Sites is not liable for: lost business or profits, indirect or consequential damages, third-party disputes, downtime caused by Client's hosting provider or third-party services, or any damages arising from the use, misuse, or non-use of the delivered work.

12Force majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or non-performance caused by events outside reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, internet or hosting-provider outages, war, civil unrest, or pandemic-related restrictions.

13Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Israel. Any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought before the appropriate courts in Be'er Sheva, Israel, to the exclusion of any other jurisdiction.

14Entire agreement

This Agreement, together with any attached Statement of Work specifying agreed scope and Client business details, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, whether written or oral.

Modifications must be in writing and signed by both parties. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
