Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: September 17, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of Frugare.com and the purchase or use of services provided by Frugare LLC (“Frugare,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing Frugare.com, purchasing services, accepting a proposal or agreement, submitting payment, or otherwise engaging Frugare to provide services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, together with any applicable proposal, service agreement, statement of work, or other written agreement between you and Frugare.

1. Services

Frugare provides professional digital services that may include web design, web development, managed websites, website maintenance and management, search engine optimization (SEO), Google Ads management, analytics, creative services, animation, technical support, consulting, and related services.

The specific scope, pricing, deliverables, schedule, and requirements for a project or service may be established through a proposal, order, invoice, checkout, service description, statement of work, or other written agreement.

Where the terms of a specific written agreement conflict with these general Terms, the specific written agreement will control with respect to that service or project.

2. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing information, materials, approvals, access credentials, feedback, and other resources reasonably necessary for Frugare to perform the requested services.

Clients are responsible for the accuracy and legality of information and materials they provide to Frugare.

Delays in providing requested materials, approvals, access, or information may affect project schedules and delivery dates.

3. Client-Provided Content

Clients represent that they own or have appropriate authorization to use all text, photographs, videos, logos, trademarks, graphics, documents, data, and other materials supplied to Frugare.

Clients grant Frugare permission to use, reproduce, modify, format, optimize, and otherwise process those materials as reasonably necessary to provide the requested services.

Frugare may decline to publish or use content that we reasonably believe violates applicable law, infringes intellectual property rights, contains malicious software, or creates a material security or technical risk.

4. Ownership of Client Property

Clients retain ownership of their domain names, company names, trademarks, original logos, original business information, customer information, and original content and materials supplied by the client.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, engaging Frugare does not transfer ownership of these materials to Frugare.

Clients are responsible for maintaining ownership, registration, and renewal of their domain names unless Frugare has expressly agreed to provide domain administration services.

5. Frugare Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise expressly provided in a written agreement, Frugare retains ownership of its pre-existing and reusable intellectual property, including website designs and design systems, templates, layouts, development frameworks, source code, scripts, reusable components, animations, motion systems, GSAP implementations, development techniques, processes, documentation, and other proprietary technology or creative materials developed or supplied by Frugare.

Frugare also retains ownership of Frugare trademarks, branding, website content, demonstration websites, design-library materials, and other intellectual property belonging to Frugare.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Frugare’s underlying technology, reusable systems, methods, templates, or intellectual property to a client unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

6. Managed Websites

Managed websites are provided as an ongoing service.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the client owns the client’s domain name, business information, trademarks, client-provided content, and other client-owned materials incorporated into the website.

Frugare retains ownership of the underlying website design, template, layout, development system, Frugare-created components, animations, reusable code, and other Frugare intellectual property incorporated into a managed website.

During an active, paid managed website service, Frugare grants the client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use applicable Frugare-owned materials as part of the client’s website.

The managed website service does not constitute a sale or transfer of the underlying Frugare website design, template, source code, animation system, or other Frugare intellectual property.

Additional terms concerning cancellation, website availability, migration, or continued use following termination may be established in the applicable service agreement.

7. Custom Website Projects

Custom website projects may involve both client-specific deliverables and Frugare’s pre-existing or reusable intellectual property.

Ownership and licensing of custom project deliverables may be further defined in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or service agreement.

Unless expressly transferred in writing, Frugare retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, reusable code, development frameworks, components, templates, processes, animations, GSAP systems, tools, methods, and other intellectual property capable of being reused in other projects.

Payment for a custom project does not, by itself, constitute an assignment or transfer of Frugare’s underlying intellectual property.

8. Third-Party Technology and Intellectual Property

Websites and digital services may incorporate third-party software, plugins, libraries, fonts, APIs, hosting services, stock media, analytics services, advertising technologies, payment systems, or other third-party products.

Such materials remain subject to the licenses, terms, privacy policies, availability, and restrictions established by their respective owners.

Frugare cannot transfer ownership of third-party intellectual property to a client.

9. Fees and Payment

Clients agree to pay all fees associated with services they purchase or authorize.

Payment schedules may vary depending on the service and may include deposits, milestone payments, recurring charges, subscriptions, or other arrangements described in the applicable proposal, invoice, checkout, or service agreement.

Failure to make required payments may result in suspension or termination of services.

Clients remain responsible for amounts properly due for work already performed or service periods already commenced.

10. Refunds

Refund eligibility is governed by Frugare’s Refunds & Returns Policy and any applicable written service agreement.

Generally, once Frugare has commenced work on a service or project, payments associated with that work are non-refundable except where otherwise required by law or expressly agreed to in writing.

11. Recurring Services and Cancellation

Certain Frugare services may be billed on a recurring basis.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable service agreement, cancellation stops future renewals but does not create a refund for a billing period or service period that has already begun.

Upon cancellation or termination, access to services, licensed materials, hosting, management systems, support, or other resources provided as part of an ongoing Frugare service may end.

Specific termination and transition provisions may apply to managed websites and other ongoing services.

12. Search Engine Optimization

SEO involves numerous factors outside Frugare’s control, including search engine algorithms, competitors, website history, market conditions, third-party websites, user behavior, and changes made by search engine providers.

Frugare does not guarantee particular rankings, indexing, traffic levels, leads, conversions, revenue, or other specific SEO results.

Search engines determine how and whether websites and pages are crawled, indexed, ranked, and displayed.

13. Google Ads and Advertising Services

Frugare may provide Google Ads management and related advertising services.

Advertising performance depends upon numerous factors outside Frugare’s control, including competition, bidding conditions, budgets, market demand, platform policies, user behavior, and changes made by advertising providers.

Frugare does not guarantee specific impressions, clicks, leads, conversions, sales, revenue, return on advertising spend, or other advertising outcomes.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, advertising spend paid to an advertising platform is separate from fees charged by Frugare for management services.

14. Analytics and Reporting

Frugare may provide analytics, reports, dashboards, estimates, measurements, or other performance information using data supplied by third-party systems.

Analytics data may contain delays, discrepancies, sampling, attribution differences, tracking limitations, blocked cookies, technical errors, or other inaccuracies.

Analytics and reporting should therefore be understood as informational measurements rather than guarantees of exact activity or future performance.

15. Project Schedules

Any project schedule or estimated completion date provided by Frugare is based upon the information and circumstances available at the time.

Schedules may be affected by client delays, requested revisions, changes in project scope, third-party services, technical issues, availability of required materials, or other circumstances.

Unless expressly guaranteed in writing, estimated completion dates are not guaranteed delivery dates.

16. Revisions and Scope Changes

Services and projects are limited to the scope agreed upon between Frugare and the client.

Requests that materially expand or alter the agreed scope may require additional fees, additional time, or a separate agreement.

Frugare will communicate material scope changes where reasonably practicable before undertaking additional billable work.

17. Portfolio and Promotional Use

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the client grants Frugare permission to identify the client as a customer and to display completed or publicly released work in Frugare’s portfolio, website, presentations, demonstrations, social media, promotional materials, and other examples of Frugare’s work.

Frugare will not intentionally publish confidential client information solely for portfolio purposes.

18. Confidential Information

Each party may receive confidential or non-public information in connection with a project or service.

Frugare will use reasonable care in handling confidential client information and will use such information as reasonably necessary to provide services, administer the client relationship, comply with legal obligations, or protect legitimate business interests.

Clients should avoid transmitting passwords or other highly sensitive credentials through insecure communication methods where secure alternatives are available.

19. Website Availability and Technical Services

Frugare makes reasonable efforts to provide reliable digital services but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

Hosting providers, internet services, domain systems, software, APIs, plugins, security systems, payment providers, and other technologies may experience downtime, outages, vulnerabilities, incompatibilities, updates, or failures outside Frugare’s reasonable control.

20. Security

Frugare may implement reasonable security practices as part of its services, but no website, server, network, software system, or electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Clients are responsible for maintaining appropriate security for accounts, credentials, devices, and systems under their control.

21. Third-Party Services

Frugare may recommend, configure, integrate, or work with third-party products and services.

Frugare is not responsible for changes in third-party pricing, policies, features, availability, licensing, account decisions, suspensions, outages, or other actions taken by third-party providers.

Clients may be required to maintain their own accounts or agreements with certain providers.

22. No Guarantee of Business Results

Frugare provides professional services intended to help clients establish, improve, manage, or market their digital presence.

However, Frugare does not guarantee that any website, SEO service, advertising campaign, design, strategy, or other service will produce a particular level of traffic, leads, customers, revenue, profitability, or business growth.

23. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Frugare LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to the use of Frugare.com or Frugare services.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Frugare’s aggregate liability arising from a particular service or project will not exceed the amount paid to Frugare for the service or project giving rise to the claim during the applicable period, except where a different limitation is required by law or expressly agreed in writing.

24. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, clients agree to indemnify and hold harmless Frugare LLC from third-party claims arising from materials supplied by the client, the client’s infringement or alleged infringement of third-party rights, unlawful use of services, or the client’s violation of these Terms.

25. Termination of Services

Frugare may suspend or terminate services for material non-payment, unlawful activity, misuse of services, security risks, material violation of these Terms, or other substantial breach of an applicable agreement.

Where reasonably practicable, Frugare may provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue before termination.

Termination does not eliminate payment obligations for services already performed or amounts otherwise properly due.

26. Privacy

Use of personal information associated with Frugare.com and Frugare services is addressed in Frugare’s Privacy Policy.

27. Changes to These Terms

Frugare may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in its services, technologies, business practices, or legal requirements.

The effective date displayed at the beginning of these Terms identifies the current version.

Changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

28. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

29. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

30. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable proposal, statement of work, service agreement, invoice, order, and policies expressly incorporated into the agreement, constitute the agreement between Frugare and the client regarding the applicable services.
