Clear terms for clear work.

Effective and last updated: October 10, 2026

Steward Local is a service of Rightly Enterprises, a registered trade name of Black Eagle Archery LLC (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Steward Local is not a separate legal entity.

1. Acceptance and controlling documents

These Terms of Service govern your use of stewardlocal.com and services purchased directly from Steward Local. By using the website, placing an order, signing a proposal or agreement, or expressly accepting these terms during checkout, you agree to them.

A signed proposal, statement of work, order, or service agreement (each, a “Service Agreement”) controls the scope, schedule, price, deliverables, support level, and other service-specific terms. If a Service Agreement conflicts with these terms on a service-specific point, the Service Agreement controls that point.

If you act for a business or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it.

2. Services and scope

Steward Local offers website assessment, repair, design, development, search and answer-engine optimization, managed hosting, maintenance, monitoring, and related digital-stewardship services. Only work described in the applicable page, checkout, written scope, or Service Agreement is included. New features, extra revisions, expanded content, emergency work, third-party fees, and work outside the agreed scope may require a new approval and price.

Public service descriptions are invitations to discuss or order work, not a guarantee that every request will be accepted. We may decline work that is unsafe, unlawful, beyond our capability or capacity, or inconsistent with an agreed scope.

3. Prices, payment, and taxes

Prices displayed on the website are in U.S. dollars and may change prospectively. The price stated in an accepted Service Agreement or completed checkout controls that purchase. You are responsible for applicable taxes unless the transaction is legally exempt and you provide adequate documentation.

Website projects

Unless a Service Agreement says otherwise, projects priced at $3,000 or less require 50% to begin and 50% before launch. Projects above $3,000 use four 25% milestones, with the final milestone due before launch. The current build packages include two structured revision rounds; extra rounds or expanded scope are priced separately.

One Fix

For the public One Fix service, scope is confirmed first and payment is due only after the agreed fix is completed and verified. Nothing is added without your approval.

Website Reality Check

The Website Reality Check is paid through Stripe-hosted checkout. You may request a full refund before work begins. If Steward Local declines the engagement or cannot complete the report for a reason within its control, the payment is refunded. Once the report is delivered, the fee covers the completed work except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Recurring services

Before enrollment in any recurring service, we will identify the price, billing frequency, material conditions, and cancellation method and obtain your express agreement. You may cancel a recurring service using the method stated in its Service Agreement or billing-management path. Cancellation stops future renewal after any period or notice requirement clearly stated before enrollment; it does not automatically reverse charges for services already performed or a period already supplied.

Stripe processes full payment-card details. Steward Local receives ordinary transaction and billing records but does not receive or store a full card number through this website.

4. Client responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate information, timely decisions, materials you have the right to use, and access reasonably needed for the approved work. You are responsible for reviewing and approving content, factual claims, legal notices, regulated statements, and final launch decisions.

Do not send passwords, private keys, full card or bank details, protected health information, or unrelated confidential records through a public form or ordinary email. Credentials needed for approved work must be shared through the secure method we specify. You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups unless backup service is expressly included.

You may not use the website or services to violate law, infringe rights, distribute malicious code, mislead others, interfere with systems, or obtain unauthorized access.

5. Ownership, accounts, and portability

You retain ownership of the content and credentials you supply. Ownership or license terms for custom deliverables are stated in the Service Agreement and, unless it says otherwise, take effect after full payment. Each party retains its pre-existing materials, methods, templates, software, know-how, and trademarks. Third-party products remain subject to their own licenses.

Our ordinary practice is for the client to keep or receive control of its domain, hosting, analytics, payment, and other core business accounts when the applicable provider permits it. Temporary access granted to Steward Local does not transfer ownership. Any exception must be stated in writing.

6. Approvals, launch, and changes

You are responsible for reviewing deliverables and reporting material errors within the review period in the Service Agreement. Approval may be given electronically. Launch dates depend on timely payment, access, content, decisions, and third-party availability. A requested change may alter price or timing when it changes the approved scope.

7. Hosting, uptime, and third parties

A 99% uptime commitment applies only to eligible sites covered by a Steward Local managed-hosting Service Agreement. That agreement defines the measurement period, monitoring source, exclusions, maintenance windows, client-caused events, third-party outages, and any service-credit remedy.

Hosting companies, registrars, payment processors, email providers, plugins, platforms, search engines, and other third parties control their own systems and terms. Steward Local is not responsible for their independent acts, outages, policy changes, suspensions, or discontinued services, although we will perform the assistance expressly included in the approved scope.

8. No promised business outcome

Steward Local promises the work stated in the applicable scope, not a particular business result. Search ranking, AI citation, traffic, leads, sales, revenue, platform approval, regulatory approval, and uninterrupted third-party service are not guaranteed. Estimates and recommendations are professional judgments based on information reasonably available at the time.

9. Confidentiality and privacy

Each party will use reasonable care with nonpublic business information received for the work and will use it only as needed to perform, receive, protect, or enforce the services, except when disclosure is authorized or legally required. A Service Agreement may add more specific confidentiality or security duties. Website data practices are described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Warranties and service correction

We will perform paid services in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with the accepted scope. If you promptly identify a material failure to meet that standard, our first responsibility is to investigate and, when reasonably possible, correct the affected work. Except for an express written promise in a Service Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and services are otherwise provided without implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement.

11. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or lost business, arising from these terms or the services, even if advised that such damages are possible. Any service-specific allocation or limit of direct liability must be stated in the applicable Service Agreement. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that applicable law does not allow the parties to exclude.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend affected work or access for nonpayment, material breach, unlawful use, abuse, or a credible security or operational risk. When reasonably practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure. Either party may end an ongoing service as allowed by its Service Agreement. Termination does not erase payment duties for completed work, approved noncancelable costs, or provisions that by their nature should survive.

13. Electronic records and notices

You agree that a clear electronic signature, checked acceptance box, completed checkout, or other electronic act attributable to you may evidence agreement. You may retain these terms by printing or saving this page. Routine notices may be sent to the email address associated with the engagement; notices required by a Service Agreement must follow that agreement.

14. Governing law and disputes

West Virginia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Unless a Service Agreement states another lawful venue, disputes may be brought in a state or federal court with competent jurisdiction in West Virginia. These terms do not require mandatory arbitration.

15. Changes and severability

We may update these terms prospectively by posting a dated revision. Material changes do not rewrite an already accepted Service Agreement unless the parties agree. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision once is not a waiver.

Plain-language hierarchy: these are the website-wide baseline terms. Your signed scope and service agreement supply the specific promise you are buying and control if the two conflict on that specific point.
