Terms & Conditions
Updated September, 2025
MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Master Services Agreement is effective as of the date of signature on your respective signed agreement and is between WhatArmy, Inc, a Massachusetts Corporation ("Agency") and the Client ("Client") as defined within the signature section of your respective signed agreement. Capitalized terms in this agreement that are not otherwise defined have the meanings given in Section 14. The parties agree as follows:
1. Statements of Work
Agency shall provide Client the services and Deliverables described in any document that references this agreement, details the fees for such work, and is signed by the parties (each an "SOW"). Upon signing, each SOW becomes part of this agreement. If an SOW conflicts with this agreement, the terms of the SOW control as to the work described in the SOW. An SOW is a defined scope of work; any support agreement, retainer agreement, SEO agreement, analytics agreement, or any other agreement that does not have a definitive deliverable is governed by the Standard Service Agreement, Standard Support Plan Agreement, and Standard Billing Agreement.
2. Services; Fees; Billing Disputes
Client shall pay all invoiced fees and approved expenses as provided in the SOW. If Client disputes any amount invoiced, Client must give Agency written notice describing the dispute in reasonable detail within 5 business days of Agency sending the invoice. Client may not dispute invoices after the 5 business day dispute window closes. Undisputed portions of invoices remain due per standard payment terms. Services provided outside the scope of an SOW will be billed at the hourly rate indicated under the "Approved Additional Work" section of the SOW.
3. Client Obligations
In addition to any assumptions or obligations in the SOW, Client shall:
- (a) timely provide Client Materials necessary for Agency's performance of its services;
- (b) ensure Client stakeholders are available and responsive over the course of the engagement and/or project;
- (c) ensure that all Client feedback and approvals are provided through a single point of contact;
- (d) provide any access necessary for Agency to perform its services;
- (e) ensure timely payment of all third-party services required for Agency to perform its services (hosting accounts, domain registrations, software licenses, etc.); and
- (f) monitor email communications from Agency and respond within timeframes specified in this agreement. Email sent to Client's designated contact is considered received, even if unread. Client is responsible for ensuring Agency emails are not blocked by spam filters.
If Client repeatedly or unreasonably fails to perform the Client Obligations, Agency may provide written notice specifying the failure and request that Client correct the failure. If Client does not correct the failure within five [5] business days of its receipt of the notice, Agency may, by written notice to Client, stop work under the SOW and invoice for services provided through the date of work stoppage. To resume services, Agency may require an amendment to the SOW.
4. Acceptance
(a) Client shall accept or reject each Deliverable in writing within five [5] business days of receipt (the "Approval Period"). Deliverables may only be rejected for materially failing to conform to Specifications. Notice of rejection must be in writing and specify the reasons for rejection. If Client does not accept or reject a Deliverable within the Approval Period, it is deemed accepted. Upon receipt of a timely rejection notice, Agency will promptly correct any non-conformities at Agency's expense.
5. Termination of SOWs
(a) Termination by Client. Client may terminate an SOW on written notice to Agency (i) if Agency fails to cure a material breach of this agreement within fifteen [15] days of receiving written notice of the breach from Client; or (ii) for any other reason by paying all fees and approved expenses incurred prior to termination and the Early Termination Fee.
(b) Termination by Agency. Agency may terminate an SOW on written notice to Client if Client fails to cure a material breach of this agreement within fifteen [15] days of receiving written notice of the breach from Agency. Upon such termination, Client shall pay any and all approved expenses incurred through the date of termination.
(c) Project Hold / Inactivity Fees. If Client fails to respond to Agency communications (including approval requests, feedback requests, or asset delivery requests) within 30 calendar days, Agency may place the SOW on Hold status with written notice to Client. Projects on Hold for more than 30 days are subject to a resumption fee of 15% of remaining SOW value (minimum $2,500) to account for resource reallocation and project restart costs.
(d) Projects on Hold Terminated By Agency. Agency may terminate a project with Client in the event that a project is on the Hold or Inactivity list for one hundred and eighty days (180) after Client's receipt of notification that the project or SOW is on the Hold or Inactivity list from Agency. Upon such termination, Client shall pay all fees and approved expenses incurred prior to Hold status plus the Early Termination Fee. Prepayments for projects terminated under this section will be applied first to completed work, then to Early Termination Fee and resumption fees. Any remaining prepayment balance will be refunded within 30 days of termination.
(e) Extended Timeline Fees. If an SOW includes an estimated completion timeline and the project extends beyond that timeline by more than 30 days due to Client delays (including but not limited to late feedback, delayed approvals, failure to provide Client Materials, unavailability of Client stakeholders, or requested scope changes), Agency may assess an Extended Timeline Fee of $1,500 per month or 5% of the SOW value per month (whichever is greater) for each additional month beyond the original timeline. Client delays include any delay caused by factors within Client's control or by third parties engaged by Client (including design agencies, content providers, or other vendors). This fee compensates Agency for resource reallocation costs and opportunity costs. Agency will provide written notice before assessing this fee.
6. Confidential Information
Each party (the "Discloser") may disclose Confidential Information to the other party (the "Recipient") in connection with this agreement. The Recipient agrees to (a) maintain the Confidential Information in confidence; (b) protect the Confidential Information with a reasonable degree of care, including employing industry standard security procedures to prevent unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information; (c) not use the Confidential Information except in the performance of its obligations under this agreement; and (d) disclose the Confidential Information only to those of its employees and agents who have a need to know the Confidential Information and who are bound by agreement or law to maintain the confidentiality of the information.
7. Intellectual Property

Agency retains ownership of all Agency Tools, including any improvements or modifications made during performance of services. Agency shall provide Client with a copy of any licenses applicable to any Third-Party Materials included in the Deliverables (the "Third-Party Licenses"). Client shall comply with the terms of such licenses.
Client grants Agency a license to use the Client Materials as contemplated by this agreement. Client represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for all Client Materials provided to Agency, including but not limited to images, text, videos, logos, and trademarks.

10. Accessibility Compliance Limitation

However, Agency makes no warranty that Deliverables will be free from accessibility issues or fully compliant with all accessibility laws and regulations.

(e) If Client requires ongoing accessibility compliance services, such services must be contracted separately and are not included in any SOW unless explicitly stated.
11. Indemnity & Limit on Liability
(a) Indemnity. Subject to Section 11(c), Agency shall indemnify and defend Client and its employees, officers, directors, shareholders, members, and managers (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from any damages, expenses, fees, fines, penalties, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) and costs incurred by the Indemnitees in connection with any third-party claim arising out of Agency's breach of this agreement, negligence, or intentional wrongdoing (a "Claim").

STANDARD SERVICE AGREEMENT
Business Hours
Our regular business hours are M – F, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm EST. We are closed on weekends and most national holidays. Except for emergencies or upon your request for off-hours work, all work is performed during our regular business hours, and our response times, including notifications to you under this agreement, are done during and measured from regular business hours.
Service Requests
For each service request (other than Emergency or Off Hours Work when the Client cannot be contacted), the Client will receive a time estimate provided via email or SOW (Statement of Work). WhatArmy will not begin work until the Client approves the estimate / SOW via email or signature. Anything under one hour is considered pre-approved and approval will not be requested. A minimum of one (1) hour will be charged in any period with billable work.
Approved Additional Work
All work not covered under your Managed Service, Support Plan, or other recurring service will be referred to as "Approved Additional Work" or out of scope work as referenced in section two [2] of the Master Services Agreement.
(a) Approved Additional Work is provided on a first come first serve basis. Work will be scheduled upon approval, and completed in the order in which it was received. If you need to move up the queue Emergency rates will apply at the prevailing rate.
Emergency / Off Hours Work
Emergency or Off Hours Work is Approved Additional Work which requires immediate attention. Emergency or Off Hours Work is defined as problems discovered with your website that critically impair the functionality and/or operation of your website, including security breaches, site outages, or critical functionality failures. Emergency Work will be billed at the Emergency or Off Hours rate stated on your signed Agreement. All emergency or off-hours work will be billed in 1 hour increments.
If WhatArmy determines Emergency Work is necessary to prevent or mitigate security breaches, site outages, or critical functionality failures and cannot contact Client within 2 hours of discovery, Client authorizes WhatArmy to perform up to 2 hours of Emergency Work at the prevailing emergency rate. Agency will document the emergency, work performed, and attempts to contact Client. In the event of an emergency, the Client can request Emergency work, whether inside or outside of normal business hours, which will be billed at the prevailing rate.
(a) Work that is specifically requested by the Client to be performed outside of regular business hours will be billed at the Emergency or Off Hours rate stated on your signed Support Contract.
Service Request Changes
If WhatArmy has already begun work on a service request (Approved Additional Work or Emergency / Off Hours Work), and the Client has Additional Work or changes, WhatArmy will create a new estimate or SOW for the Additional Work. The Client's approval will be required via email or signature prior to work proceeding on the added or changed work. In the event you need to submit a change order all work performed to date will be billable to the Client under standard terms at the prevailing rate.
Website Hosting
WhatArmy's website hosting service is provided through Amazon Web Services (AWS). WhatArmy will not be liable for any website or other service interruptions that are sourced from AWS or any hosting provider that WhatArmy does not directly control. WhatArmy will only host a site with an agreement signed by both WhatArmy and the Client. WhatArmy is not liable in the event that a website goes down as a result of an AWS server issue, outage, hack, malicious activity, or any other reason beyond Agency's reasonable control.
Domain and SSL Certificate Management
Client retains ownership of all domain registrations and SSL certificates. If Agency registers domains or obtains SSL certificates on Client's behalf, such registrations are made in Client's name. Client is responsible for maintaining login credentials and ensuring timely renewals. Agency will monitor domain and SSL certificate expiration dates where specified in a Support Plan or SOW, but Agency is not liable if a domain or SSL certificate expires, the website goes offline, or the domain is lost. SSL certificate renewal requires Client authorization for any associated costs (certificate purchase, validation fees, hosting upgrades). If Client fails to authorize renewal in a timely manner, Agency is not liable for site security warnings or functionality issues resulting from expired certificates or domains.
Third-Party Licenses
Client is responsible for purchasing and maintaining licenses for any premium WordPress plugins, themes, or other third-party software required for Client's website. If Client's licenses lapse, Agency cannot update or maintain those components. Agency will notify Client of licensing issues but is not responsible for purchasing or renewing Client's third-party licenses.
Website Changes by Client
The Client should not make any changes to its website that impair the operation or functionality of its website without first notifying WhatArmy, as this may be interpreted as an attempt to hack or attack the website. In the event that the client makes changes without notifying WhatArmy, the client is liable for any and all costs associated with WhatArmy's attempts to block the perceived hack or attack, including, but not limited to all work at the stated emergency rate.
Search Engine
WhatArmy has no control over search engine ranking and does not guarantee the presence of any developed or hosted website on any search engine. By paying WhatArmy, the client is not paying for any service that will improve search engine ranking. The Client can provide documentation from a 3rd Party Search Engine Optimization Firm, at that point WhatArmy can implement the recommendations of the 3rd Party Firm, but will not guarantee any outcomes as a result of the implementation of the recommendations of the 3rd Party Firm.
Corrections
WhatArmy will correct technical issues related to code and functionality of electronic media components that result from WhatArmy oversight within 5 business days of work completion unless otherwise stated.
Changes to Standard Service Agreement
We reserve the right to modify hourly rates, emergency rates, and service terms with 60 days written notice to Client. Rate changes apply to new SOWs and Approved Additional Work only; active SOWs are governed by rates in effect at SOW signing. Other modifications to this agreement require 30 days written notice and take effect at the start of Client's next billing period or renewal term.
STANDARD SUPPORT PLAN AGREEMENT
Support Plan Services
WhatArmy's monitoring services are outlined in the Service Details portion of your contract. WhatArmy will, to the best of their ability, uphold these services. WhatArmy cannot be held liable for any errors or false readings that various tools may produce. WhatArmy will notify the Client of any breaches, downtime, or alerts that have been received, explored, analyzed and confirmed as legitimate, in a timely manner.
Website Security
We employ overlapping measures to improve & maintain the security of your website. However, risks beyond our control will always exist. If your site is compromised, your Enterprise Plan will cover the first 2 hours of service to clean up the site. Our service team will provide an estimate for any remaining service required to restore the website. This does not apply to the WordPress Small Business Plan.
Support Plan Pricing
The price of Support Plans, Managed Services, or other recurring services may increase annually. Agency will provide 60 days written notice before any price increase. Price increases take effect at Client's next renewal date. If Client does not wish to accept a price increase, Client may cancel the service by providing written notice within 30 days of receiving the price increase notice.
Blacklist Monitoring
WhatArmy monitors your website for major website/SEO-known blacklists. WhatArmy service does not include blacklist email monitoring.
Additional Sites
Additional sites – as defined as one (1) instance of a CMS – will be subject to subsequent review and will be priced at the current prevailing rate at the time the site is added. The contractual agreement is for the contracted primary website(s) only. Primary website(s) do(es) not include subdomains. Any subdomains that the Client wishes to be managed are considered add-on sites and will be priced at the current prevailing rate at the time the site is added. Any website to be managed must be written in the contract and charged for accordingly.
Website Updates
Core, theme and/or plugin updates may include security updates to prevent a hack or attack on Client's website. WhatArmy strongly encourages its Clients to install these updates as soon as possible. From time-to-time, a security update may be incompatible with another aspect of the Client's website, resulting in an impairment in the operation or functionality of the website or some aspect. Should this happen, WhatArmy will notify the Client with an estimate/SOW of the cost to repair the website. If the Client elects to remove the update and/or not install it, WhatArmy will not be liable for a subsequent hack or attack on the Client's website.
Backups and Archives
While Agency maintains regular backups as specified in the Support Plan, Agency is not liable for data loss resulting from circumstances beyond Agency's control, including but not limited to catastrophic hosting provider failures, client-initiated deletions, or malicious attacks. Client is encouraged to maintain independent backups of critical data. Agency's backup retention period is specified in the Support Plan; backups older than the retention period may not be available.
Changes to Standard Support Agreement
We reserve the right to modify support plan terms and service levels with 30 days written notice to Client. Changes take effect at the start of the next billing period following the notice period. Pricing changes are governed by the Support Plan Pricing section above.
