Terms and Conditions

1. Please Read Carefully!

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client", "you", or "your") and WindyLoop LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("WindyLoop", "we", "us", or "our"), regarding your access to and use of our services provided via the website located at https://needthewebsite.com (the "Website").

By accessing our Website and subscribing to our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use or subscribe to our services.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Website and our services following any changes indicates your acceptance of the new Terms.

1. Description of Services

WindyLoop provides website development, hosting, domain management, ongoing maintenance, and technical support for business clients through a monthly subscription-based model. Clients pay a recurring monthly fee to access our services. During the subscription period, WindyLoop assumes responsibility for infrastructure costs including domain registration, website hosting, SSL certificates, platform maintenance, and applicable third-party integrations.

Websites are built and maintained by WindyLoop in accordance with client input and specifications, which may include design preferences, business details, copy, branding materials, and multimedia content. WindyLoop will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, maintain, and support the client’s website during the active subscription.

2. Subscription Terms

Subscription services are billed on a recurring monthly basis. By initiating a subscription, you authorize us to charge your provided payment method automatically each month using a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe or Square). Subscription fees are due in advance of service.

The subscription continues indefinitely until canceled in accordance with these Terms. You must maintain an active payment method to ensure uninterrupted service. If a payment is declined or not received within seven (7) calendar days of the due date, we reserve the right to suspend your website and associated services. Services will not resume until all past-due payments have been received.

In the event of a chargeback or disputed payment, your website and associated services will be immediately suspended without notice. You will be responsible for the full repayment of any disputed amounts, as well as any chargeback fees incurred by WindyLoop.

3. Cancellation and Early Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time by emailing us at hello@needthewebsite.com. However, your financial obligations vary depending on the duration of your subscription.

If you cancel your subscription within the first thirty (30) days from the original subscription date, your service will be terminated at the end of that first month. No refunds will be issued for the initial payment.

If you cancel after the thirty (30) day period, you remain financially responsible for the remaining unpaid balance of a twenty-four (24) month service agreement. Upon cancellation, we may charge your payment method for the full remaining amount due under the original 24-month commitment.

If your subscription was not previously canceled, it will automatically continue month-to-month after the 24-month term. You may cancel at any time after the initial term with no further obligation, provided that all outstanding payments are up to date.

4. Ownership and Website Transfer

All websites developed by WindyLoop remain the exclusive property of WindyLoop LLC during the initial twenty-four (24) months of the subscription. You are granted a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the website while your subscription is active and in good standing.

After twenty-four (24) consecutive monthly payments, you may request full ownership of your website. Ownership transfer includes:

  • Website files and design assets
  • Access credentials and administrative control
  • Transfer of domain name, if originally registered by WindyLoop

Requests for site transfer must be made via email. Upon successful transfer, WindyLoop will relinquish all rights to the website, and you assume all responsibility for hosting, domain renewal, and website maintenance going forward.

If you wish to acquire ownership of the website prior to the end of the 24-month term, WindyLoop may, at its sole discretion, offer a buyout option subject to a one-time payment. Please contact us for current buyout pricing and terms.
