Effective July 9, 2026 · Agreement version 2026-07-09 · Credence · hello@credencesites.com
This Agreement governs the paid Credence website design, hosting, and management service provided to golf courses and their operators ("Client," "you"). By submitting the Credence course intake form and checking the box indicating acceptance, you agree to this Agreement.
1. The service
Credence provides a productized website service for golf courses, including design, build, hosting, and ongoing management of a professionally designed website (the "Website"). The Website is produced from a Credence course design system and tailored using the information and materials you submit during intake.
2. Fees & payment
The service is a one-time setup fee of $1,000 and a recurring Website Care & Management fee of $250 per month. You provide a payment method during onboarding.
The setup fee is due at the start of the engagement, before build work begins, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The monthly fee begins when the Website goes live and is billed monthly until cancelled. Applicable taxes may be added where required by law.
If a payment fails or an amount remains unpaid, Credence will provide reasonable notice and may pause work and, for continued non-payment, suspend the hosted Website until the balance is resolved. Suspension does not by itself cancel the service or waive amounts owed.
3. Build, review & approval
We build the Website from the information you submit and provide a private review link so you can review it and request revisions within the agreed scope. The Website is published only after your written approval and any ownership, management-company, municipal, legal, or other internal approval you require.
4. What Website Care & Management includes
Managed hosting, SSL, technical maintenance, backups and security monitoring, form and booking-link checks, reasonable text edits to existing sections, up to three image replacements per calendar month, and routine updates to rates, policies, announcements, staff, and operational information within scope, plus direct Credence support. Unused monthly updates do not roll over.
5. Scope & revisions
The Credence course system you select determines the standard page structure of the Website. The setup fee includes tailoring the Website within that defined course system. Additional pages, major restructuring, new functionality, advanced integrations, and redesigns are not included and are available by separate quote.
Client-requested changes outside the agreed scope are not included. Credence will confirm any additional charges with you before performing out-of-scope work. Photography, film, copywriting, and marketing services are separate.
6. Client materials & timing
You are responsible for providing accurate content and any necessary internal approvals. Project timing depends on timely delivery of your materials and feedback, and Client delays may delay launch. Credence is not responsible for delays caused by missing content, third-party systems, internal Client approvals, or access that is unavailable to us.
7. Booking & third-party integrations
Where the Website links to or embeds a third-party tee-time, booking, e-commerce, or scheduling provider, compatibility and the depth of integration depend on that provider and the access it permits. Credence does not control third-party providers and does not guarantee their availability, features, or continued compatibility.
8. Cancellation
You may cancel at any time by sending written cancellation to hello@credencesites.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period. No further recurring charges are made after the effective cancellation. Fees already paid are not refunded except where required by law. When the paid service period ends, the hosted Credence Website is taken offline. Your Client-owned domain and the original content you supplied remain your property.
9. After cancellation
Credence is not required to transfer its proprietary source code, templates, or reusable components. Any custom export, migration support, or transition service requires a separate written agreement. Credence may delete project files and backups after a reasonable business-retention period.
10. Ownership & intellectual property
You retain ownership of the content you provide, including text, photographs, logos, and brand assets. Credence retains all ownership of the Website design, templates, code, reusable components, and the systems used to produce it. While your subscription is active, you receive a limited, non-exclusive license to use and display the live Website. Credence hosts the Website; source code is not transferred, and you may not copy or host it elsewhere unless separately agreed in writing.
11. Your responsibilities
You are solely responsible for the accuracy of all content displayed, including rates, rate categories, policies, booking links, menus, event and outing claims, staff and leadership information, operating hours, directions, and any other course or operational information. You represent that you own or have the rights to all materials you provide, including photography, trademarks, logos, testimonials, video, and written content. Credence does not provide legal advice and is not responsible for the legal or regulatory adequacy of your content.
12. Information handling
Credence will use reasonable care with non-public project information you share. To deliver the service, information may be shared with service providers involved in hosting, form processing, email, and technical delivery. These obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes public, is independently developed, is lawfully received from another source without a duty of confidentiality, or is required to be disclosed by law. Credence does not promise that any information is completely secure or confidential. How personal information is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.
13. Accessibility
Credence designs with accessibility best practices in mind but does not warrant that any website meets the WCAG, the ADA, or any specific accessibility standard unless expressly agreed in writing following a professional audit. You are responsible for the accessibility of content you add or direct us to add.
14. Acceptable use
You will not use the Website for any unlawful, deceptive, infringing, or prohibited purpose. We may suspend or terminate the service for any violation of this Agreement or applicable law.
15. Third-party services
The Website relies on third-party providers for hosting, form processing, domain registration, fonts, and, where applicable, booking and payment processing. We are not responsible for their outages or changes and do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.
16. Disclaimers
The service and Website are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant any particular business result, including bookings, revenue, traffic, search ranking, or conversion.
17. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Credence's total liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement will not exceed the amounts you paid in the three months preceding the claim. Credence will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.
18. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless Credence and its owners and agents from claims arising out of your content, your use of the Website, or your violation of law or this Agreement.
19. General
You agree that electronic acceptance, including checking the acceptance box on the intake form, has the same effect as a handwritten signature. Notices may be sent by email to the addresses the parties use for the engagement. Credence acts as an independent contractor, not as your employee, partner, or agent. You may not assign this Agreement without Credence's consent; Credence may assign it in connection with a business transfer. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. This Agreement, together with any written scope or order the parties agree to, is the entire agreement between the parties on this subject. Provisions relating to ownership, payment obligations, limitation of liability, indemnification, and information handling survive cancellation or termination.
20. Governing law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. The parties consent to venue in the courts located in Santa Barbara County, California.
21. Changes to this Agreement
We may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be communicated, and the agreement version and effective date above reflect the current version.
