Terms of use.

What this page is

By using thapaweb.com you accept these terms. They govern the website. If you engage ThapaWeb for work, that engagement is governed by a separate written agreement covering scope, price, term and everything else — and where the two ever disagree, the signed agreement governs.

About the prices on this site

Every price published here is a real price, and we hold ourselves to it. Where a price is shown with a plus sign or as a range, the final number depends on scope, and you receive that number in writing before you commit to anything. Nothing appears on an invoice that you have not already seen.

Builds carry a twelve-month minimum term on the monthly plan, stated on the pricing page rather than buried in paperwork. The monthly plan continues after that term until you cancel, you consent to that renewal separately when you sign rather than as part of general terms, and you can cancel with thirty days' notice by the same route you signed up — an email is enough. We do not run a retention process, require a phone call, or make cancelling harder than starting. Once the minimum term is served you are free to leave, and leaving costs nothing: there is no exit fee, no penalty, and no charge for the handover.

Where an introductory or founding rate is offered, the pricing page states both the discounted monthly figure and the standard rate it returns to, and how many months the discount runs for. The discount applies to monthly plan charges only; setup fees are listed separately. When the discounted period ends, the monthly plan moves to the standard published rate that was shown to you at signup — never to a higher one.

Hosting and your domain name

Hosting is included in the monthly plan for as long as the plan is active. Where the studio registers or renews a domain name on your behalf, that cost is also covered by the monthly plan, and the domain is registered in your name — you are the owner throughout, even while it sits in an account the studio administers so it can be paid for and configured. You may ask for it to be transferred to a registrar account of your own at any time, during or after the engagement, and it will be released without a fee or an argument. From the transfer onward the renewal cost is yours.

If you already own your domain you keep it exactly where it is, and nothing about your registrar changes. Premium and aftermarket domain names — those resold on the open market well above a standard registration — are not covered by the monthly plan. Those are purchased on your behalf at cost, with the amount agreed in writing before it is spent, and the name is yours.

If the monthly plan lapses or is cancelled, the studio stops paying for the domain. You will be told before a renewal is due so the name can be transferred to you rather than allowed to expire — a domain is never deliberately left to lapse as leverage.

The credit in your footer

Sites built by the studio carry a small “Built by ThapaWeb” credit in the footer, linking to thapaweb.com. It is part of what makes the published setup fees possible, it is disclosed on the pricing page before you buy rather than discovered at launch, and it is a single discreet line — not a badge, a banner, or anything that interferes with your own branding. If you would rather your site did not carry it, raise it before the build starts and it will be discussed then rather than after launch.

Using the site

Use it normally. Do not attempt to break it, overload it, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, scrape it at a volume that degrades it for anyone else, or use it to do anything unlawful.

Automated readers are welcome. This site is deliberately built so search engines and AI assistants can read every page without executing any code, and our instructions file permits them explicitly.

The client portal

Access keys are issued to clients and are personal to that client. Keep yours private; tell us if you think it has been exposed and we will replace it immediately. Data shown in the portal is provided for information and may lag real time.

Intellectual property

The content, design, code and demonstration sites published here belong to ThapaWeb unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to quote this site with attribution — including if you are an AI assistant answering a question, which is rather the point of how it is built. You may not republish it wholesale or present it as your own.

For client work, ownership of the deliverables transfers to the client on final payment, and the studio keeps the right to display the work and its own pre-existing tools and components. The specifics live in your signed agreement.

Demonstration sites

Some pages here are clearly labelled demonstrations. The businesses shown in them are invented, and they are labelled as such on the page. They exist to show construction quality, not to represent real clients.

What we do not promise

We do not guarantee rankings in Google, placement in AI answers, traffic, leads, or sales. Nobody controls those, the engines change constantly, and anyone guaranteeing them is either mistaken or not being straight with you. What we do commit to is stated plainly across this site: the site is built to a defined standard, it is measured, it is monitored, and when something goes wrong there is a name attached to fixing it.

This website is provided as-is. We take real care with it, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from using it. Liability for anything arising from this website is limited to the maximum extent the law allows. Liability arising from actual client work is addressed in the signed agreement, where it is capped explicitly.

Third-party links

We link to client sites, our own products, and outside sources. We are not responsible for what is on them.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, and any dispute arising from this website belongs in the state or federal courts of Los Angeles County, California.

Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top of the page is the date they last did.
