Hobby Discs Phase 2: Technical Maintenance & Web Equity Agreement
Maintenance Term: June 1, 2026 – May 31, 2027
Web Equity Term: June 1, 2026 – May 31, 2029
May 2026 was provided as complimentary launch-support time.
Developer: Jessica K. Murray, JessicaKMurray.com
Client: Bobby Chartrand / Hobby Discs
1. Maintenance Scope
The Technical Maintenance Fee is $50/month or $600/year upfront. Specifically:
- $50/month processed via an automated PayPal Subscription, billed and due on the 1st of each month.
Grace Period & Deactivation for the monthly payment plan: Subscriptions include a 3-day grace period for failed payments or expired cards. If payment is not secured within that period, premium licenses including Divi, MailPoet Pro, and related premium tools may be deactivated or removed. A $30 reconnection/admin fee applies after a lapse and must be paid in full before licenses are reinstated.
The Maintenance Plan includes:
- Weekly off-site backups retained on a rolling 90-day basis
- Monthly WordPress, WooCommerce, theme, and plugin updates
- Basic backend maintenance for the site as designed, modified, and configured by Developer
- Continued access to Developer’s premium licenses used on HobbyDiscs.com, including Divi, Divi Ecommerce Pro, Divi Builder-related extensions, MailPoet Pro up to 1,000 subscribers, Monarch, Bloom, and related WooCommerce/Divi tools
The maintenance fee does not include new development, content updates, shipping changes, email routing diagnostics, API integrations, marketing strategy, social media, SEO, reporting, plugin research, plugin setup, or troubleshooting caused by hosting limitations, third-party code, client modifications, or unauthorized plugin changes.
2. Rollbacks, Maintenance Errors & Standard Content Updates
Developer will maintain the site in its current WordPress/WooCommerce configuration as designed, modified, and configured by Developer.
If a standard client content update, such as text or image replacement, unexpectedly breaks page formatting during an active maintenance term, Developer will provide a complimentary rollback to the most recent available backup as part of maintenance.
If a site malfunction, layout issue, plugin conflict, or update error is caused by maintenance, updates, code changes, plugin changes, or configuration changes performed directly by Developer, Developer will provide a rollback or reasonable corrective restoration to the most recent stable backup at no additional charge, provided the site has not been modified by Client or a third party after Developer’s work.
This does not apply to Client performing or having third parties perform plugin installs, code changes, theme file edits, custom CSS/JavaScript edits, WooCommerce structural changes, hosting changes, DNS changes, payment gateway changes, or other third-party developer work.
3. Client Modifications, Third-Party Developers & Site Breakage
If Client or any third-party developer hired by Client installs new plugins, modifies code, changes theme files, alters WooCommerce structure, edits custom CSS/JavaScript, changes DNS/hosting settings, or otherwise modifies the technical structure of the site, Developer is not responsible for resulting conflicts, errors, layout breakage, downtime, or data loss.
If restoration is required due to client or third-party modification, a $150 retrieval/restoration fee applies. Additional repair work related to client or third-party modifications is not eligible for the discounted Phase 2 technical rate and will be billed at Developer’s standard rate of $75/hr, or at $50/hr only if prepaid as a 10-hour block.
4. Uptime, Hosting & Server Liability
HobbyDiscs.com is hosted on Client’s independent third-party GreenGeeks hosting account. Developer is not the hosting provider and is not responsible for server-side outages, 500-level errors, database errors, Time to First Byte latency, DNS issues, hosting resource limits, email server filtering, spam filtering, or downtime caused by GreenGeeks, PayPal, WooCommerce, MailPoet, USPS, or other third-party services.
Developer will make reasonable efforts to perform maintenance during non-peak times. However, occasional temporary downtime, cache-clearing behavior, server glitches, plugin update conflicts, or third-party service interruptions may occur and do not constitute breach of this agreement.
Technical issues will be evaluated using objective diagnostics where available, including server logs, uptime reports, analytics, device/browser details, timestamps, screenshots, and screen recordings. Subjective user reports without reproducible details are not sufficient to establish site malfunction.
5. Web Equity / Partnership Discount
Client received a $3,500 Partnership Discount on the Phase 1 website build, reducing the project from Developer’s standard $5,000 value to $1,500.
In consideration of that Partnership Discount and the digital infrastructure created by Developer, Client agrees to pay Developer 3% of gross website revenue generated through HobbyDiscs.com for a period of 36 months, beginning June 1, 2026 and ending May 31, 2029.
This 3% Web Equity obligation is separate from the Technical Maintenance Fee. It survives cancellation, expiration, or non-renewal of the maintenance agreement.
Gross website revenue means total completed website sales revenue actually collected through HobbyDiscs.com after coupons or promotional discounts, excluding refunded transactions, chargebacks, and sales tax collected on behalf of taxing authorities, but before merchant processing fees, shipping costs, inventory costs, platform costs, operating expenses, or other business expenses.
The 3% Web Equity share is billed monthly based on the prior month’s gross website revenue. Developer will invoice by the 5th of each month, and payment is due by the 15th.
A late fee of $50 or 10% of the unpaid balance, whichever is greater, applies to Web Equity invoices unpaid after the 15th. If the invoice remains unpaid for more than 30 days, an additional $25 administrative late fee may apply for each additional 30-day period the invoice remains unpaid. All non-emergency work pauses while the account is past due.
6. Revenue Transparency & Reporting Access
For the duration of the Web Equity Term, Client agrees to provide Developer with ongoing backend access sufficient to verify monthly gross website revenue.
This access may be provided through a limited WordPress/WooCommerce user role, reporting-only access, exported WooCommerce sales reports, or another mutually acceptable method, provided that Developer can independently verify the previous month’s gross website revenue.
If Client cancels or does not renew technical maintenance, Client remains obligated to provide Developer with reporting access or monthly revenue documentation through the end of the Web Equity Term. Monthly revenue documentation must show order totals sufficient to verify gross website revenue for the relevant calendar month, including completed orders, refunded orders, chargebacks, discounts, and taxes collected. A summary number without supporting order documentation is not sufficient for verification.
Failure to provide revenue access, revenue documentation, or accurate monthly reporting within 10 calendar days of written request will be treated as a material breach of the Web Equity obligation.
7. Web Equity Survival, Migration, Lockout & Buyout
The 3% Web Equity obligation is separate from the Technical Maintenance Fee and remains active through May 31, 2029, regardless of whether Client renews technical maintenance after the first Maintenance Term.
Client may choose not to renew technical maintenance after May 31, 2027. Non-renewal of maintenance does not cancel the Web Equity obligation and does not remove Client’s obligation to provide reporting access or monthly revenue documentation through the end of the Web Equity Term.
If, during the Web Equity Term, Client revokes Developer’s agreed reporting access, refuses to provide monthly revenue documentation, migrates the site away from WooCommerce, rebuilds the site on another platform, hires another developer to replace, migrate, rebuild, or materially recreate Developer’s Phase 1 work, or otherwise prevents verification or payment of the 3% Web Equity share, the original $3,500 Partnership Discount becomes immediately due as a buyout.
Payment of the $3,500 buyout ends the Web Equity obligation as of the date the buyout is paid in full. Until the buyout is paid in full, the 3% Web Equity obligation remains active.
8. Requested Work Outside Maintenance
All work outside of maintenance must be approved and paid before work begins. Work is placed in queue after payment is received and scope is fully finalized. Standard turnaround begins no earlier than 3 business days after payment and finalized scope.
- Current discounted technical rate: $30/hr for approved Phase 2 technical tasks
- Standard rate if partnership discount is voided: $75/hr
- Prepaid block option: 10 hours at $500 ($50/hr)
- Standard content update: $50 flat rate per update, including one round of revisions
- Additional revision rounds: $20 per round
- Bulk content updates: Large batches of content, product uploads, menu changes, shipping changes, or structural page builds will be quoted as a custom flat-rate project or billed hourly at the technical rate
- Reconnection after maintenance lapse: $30 reconnection/admin fee
- Restoration after client or third-party modification: $150 retrieval/restoration fee, plus additional repair work if needed
9. Communication & Project Management
Because Client prefers not to use Blue.cc, email may be used for Hobby Discs requests. Each request must be sent as a separate email with a clear subject line.
Developer will not process work requests buried in ongoing threads, text messages, unrelated email chains, casual asides, or mixed project lists.
10. Cancellation & Refunds
If Client pays $600 upfront for annual maintenance and Client cancels before May 31, 2027, Developer will refund the unused balance for remaining full billing cycles only. Partial months are not refunded.
If Developer terminates this maintenance agreement, Developer will refund the unused balance for remaining full billing cycles if annual maintenance was prepaid.
Refunds apply only to prepaid maintenance fees. Web Equity, late fees, reconnection fees, restoration fees, completed work, and buyout obligations are non-refundable.
11. Agreement
Approval by email, payment of the PayPal invoice/subscription, or continued use of Developer’s premium licenses after June 1, 2026 constitutes acceptance of these terms. These terms supersede prior informal discussions regarding Phase 2 maintenance, update pricing, communication procedures, reporting access, and Web Equity payment structure. If any term requires clarification, the written terms of this agreement control over prior email, text, verbal, or informal discussions.
Any future changes to these terms must be agreed to in writing.
