Please read these Agreement Terms and Conditions carefully before signing. By signing this Agreement, you (“Client”) agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.

Client access to and use of the services and subcontractors provided by Blue Noda LLC is conditioned on Client acceptance of and compliance with these terms and conditions, which will apply to all Client employees, users, and others who access or use the services described in the Agreement (the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, Client agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.

Hosting: Blue Noda LLC’s hosting plans are intended to provide monthly maintenance, backups, and security checks and will charge an hourly fee for any issues that the website may run into, including, but not limited to, site hacks, increased SPAM entering website forms, themes breaking from plugin updates, and minor bugs across plugins. Plugins are created by separate developers and added to the WordPress site. Therefore, Blue Noda LLC cannot control all the change variables; hosting does not include design or content updates to the site.

Subscriptions: Subscriptions include, but are not limited to, website licenses, plugins, and hosting.

Payment: Some parts of the Services are billed on a subscription basis, and Client will be billed in advance on a recurring annual agreement. Some features of the Services are billed every month, and Client will be billed in advance on a regular monthly contract, which includes but is not limited to blogging, social media management, demand generation, and campaign management, and are invoiced at the beginning of the month and have a payment turnaround of Net 30 days. A late fee will be applied. Further, Blue Node LLC reserves the right to shut down the Client’s website for nonpayment.   

Cancellation Policy: The client may cancel the Agreement by giving Blue Node LLC at least 30 days cancellation notice. Such cancellation notice includes but is not limited to, fixed projects, payments on recurring monthly agreements, and digital packages. Charges for hosting plans will not be refunded if canceled before the annual billing cycle.

If you are on an annual payment plan with a discount and you want to cancel early you will have to pay the difference of the discount for the months engaged. Example monthly retainer = $100/month- when you sign up for an annual contract at a discount of $75/month and cancel after 6 months you owe $25×6 = $150 for early cancellation.
