The Client does not automatically purchase or receive ownership of the complete website build, source code, design system, or other FORME-owned intellectual property through monthly subscription payments.
\n
FORME Studio grants the Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the website for the Client's business while the subscription is active and in good standing.

\n
These materials remain subject to their respective owners' licensing terms. FORME Studio cannot transfer ownership or grant rights beyond those permitted by the applicable license.
\n
Ownership exceptions
\n
If the Client wishes to purchase full ownership or obtain a transfer of eligible website materials, this must be agreed upon separately in writing.
\n
Additional transfer, licensing, development, or migration fees may apply.
\n
4. Domain Names, Hosting, and Third-Party Costs
\n
A website may require a domain name, hosting plan, website platform subscription, plugins, booking software, email services, or other third-party services.
\n
Unless expressly included in a written proposal, these costs are separate from the FORME Studio monthly subscription.
\n
Domain names
\n

FORME Studio is not responsible for a website becoming unavailable because the Client's domain expires, is not renewed, or has incorrect DNS settings outside our control.
\n
Hosting and platform costs
\n
The Client may be required to pay separately for Wix, Wix Studio, or another website hosting or platform subscription.
\n
The exact cost depends on the platform, selected plan, billing period, and any applicable taxes or additional services.
\n
Third-party providers may change their prices, features, or policies. Such changes are outside FORME Studio's control.
\n
FORME Studio will communicate any additional costs that the Client is expected to approve or pay before committing the Client to those expenses.

The Client agrees to pay the monthly subscription fee associated with their selected plan.
\n
Payments are billed automatically each month using the payment method provided by the Client.
\n
The subscription begins on the agreed service start date and renews monthly unless canceled in accordance with this Agreement.

\n
FORME Studio may use third-party payment processors, such as Stripe, to process subscription payments. Payment processing is subject to the applicable provider's terms.
\n
8. Failed Payments and Website Suspension
\n
If a monthly payment fails, is declined, or remains unpaid, FORME Studio may notify the Client and request that payment information be updated or the outstanding balance be paid.
\n
The Client will generally receive a 7-calendar-day grace period following written notice to resolve the payment issue.

\n - Pause additional development work.
\n - Restrict access to FORME-managed website services where permitted.

Once the outstanding balance has been paid, FORME Studio will make reasonable efforts to restore the website within 2 business days, subject to platform availability and any additional technical issues.
\n
FORME Studio will not intentionally delete or transfer ownership of a Client's domain as a payment enforcement measure.
\n
9. Cancellation and Termination
\n
The Client may cancel their monthly subscription by providing written notice to FORME Studio through the designated business email address.

\n
The Client remains responsible for separately billed services, including domain renewals, hosting, applications, or other third-party subscriptions they have purchased.
\n
If the Client wants to continue using the website after cancellation, they must arrange a separate written ownership, licensing, or transfer agreement with FORME Studio.
\n
FORME Studio may terminate the relationship if the Client violates this Agreement, uses the website unlawfully, fails to pay, or engages in abusive or fraudulent conduct.
