Terms of use.

Plain-language rules for using this site and our sample sites. No fine print, no gotchas.

Terms of use

The whole thing, in order.

Agreement to terms

By using this website (https://hollisterwebsites.com) or any of our sample demonstration sites, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. These terms apply to visitors, prospective clients, and anyone browsing our work.

We may update these terms as our business or the law changes. The effective date at the top of this page shows when this version was published.

What we do

Hollister Websites designs, builds, and optimizes websites for small businesses. We publish starting prices, live sample sites, and a free website readiness scan. Nothing on this site is a final quote, contract, or guarantee of results until we confirm it in a signed statement of work.

Intellectual property

The code, designs, copy, images, sample sites, and brand materials on this site are owned by Hollister Websites or licensed to us. You may view them, share links to them, and use them to evaluate our work. You may not copy, scrape, re-sell, or claim them as your own without written permission.

When you hire us, you own the final delivered assets we build specifically for you, subject to any third-party licenses (fonts, stock images, hosting platforms, plugins, or AI tools) disclosed in your statement of work. We retain the right to show anonymized or credited excerpts in our portfolio unless you opt out in writing.

Sample and demo sites

Our sample sites are fictional demonstrations built to show design range and technical quality. They are not real businesses, and any names, addresses, phone numbers, prices, or reviews shown on them are staged for demonstration only.

No guaranteed rankings or outcomes

We build sites that are structured to compete well in search and AI answers, and we follow current best practices for local SEO, AEO, and GEO. Search engines and AI platforms control their own algorithms and results. We do not guarantee specific rankings, traffic levels, leads, revenue, or placement in any search engine or AI answer.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hollister Websites is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site, our sample sites, or any information on them. Our total liability for any claim related to this site is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if you have not paid us.

Links and third parties

This site may link to third-party tools, platforms, or articles. We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in San Benito County or the nearby California state or federal court that has jurisdiction.

Terms questions

Ownership, samples, and guarantees.

Can I copy one of your sample sites?

No. The sample sites are our intellectual property and are built as demonstrations. If you want a similar site built for your business, run the guided intake or email us and we'll create original work for you.

Do you guarantee first-page Google rankings?

No. We build sites that follow current SEO, AEO, and GEO best practices, but Google and AI platforms control their own results. We never promise a specific ranking or amount of traffic.

Who owns the website after it launches?

You own the final delivered assets we build for you, per your statement of work. We retain the right to show credited work in our portfolio unless you opt out in writing. Third-party licenses for fonts, images, or platforms are governed by their own terms.

Are the reviews and businesses on sample sites real?

No. Sample sites are fictional demonstrations. Any names, reviews, prices, addresses, or phone numbers on them are staged examples, not real businesses or testimonials.

What happens if these terms change?

We update the effective date at the top of this page when terms change. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Can I get a human to explain these terms?

Yes. Email hello@hollisterwebsites.com and we'll explain anything in plain language or set up a call.

What if I find something on this site that seems wrong?

Tell us at hello@hollisterwebsites.com. AI helps us build and maintain this site, and AI can make mistakes. We correct errors once we're aware of them.
