Updated Terms of Service for Cuis Interactive

These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement between Cuis Interactive, Inc. (“Cuis Interactive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and each business or individual client (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) regarding your use of our web design, development, hosting, maintenance, and related digital services (collectively, the “Services”) provided through www.cuisinteractive.com and associated platforms.

By creating an account, signing a proposal, or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you are entering this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity.

Key terms retain their original meanings with minor updates for clarity (e.g., references to modern platforms and data types). Significant additions for 2026 compliance include references to personal information under CCPA/CPRA, GDPR (where applicable), and emerging AI/automated decision-making tools.

We provide website design, development, hosting, SEO recommendations, social media and location-based listing management, and other digital services based on the selected package. We use commercially reasonable efforts to keep your website operational 24/7, except for scheduled maintenance, Excused Outages, or Force Majeure events.

• Subcontractors & Third Parties: We may engage trusted subcontractors for hosting, security, payments, etc., and require them to maintain appropriate data protection standards.
• Reservation of Rights: We may suspend or remove content that violates law, infringes rights, or is offensive, in our sole discretion.
• Licenses: We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our materials solely for your website during the term. You grant us a license to use your content as needed to provide the Services.
• Domain Names: We register and manage domains in your name; control reverts to you upon termination.
• Data & Privacy:
  • User Personal Information is handled per our Privacy Policy (linked on our site) and applicable laws, including CCPA/CPRA (effective updates as of 2026), GDPR (if applicable), and other privacy regulations.
  • We do not sell personal data. You remain responsible for compliance when collecting data on your site.
  • Aggregate/anonymous data belongs to us for analytics and business purposes.
  • 2026 Updates: We conduct reasonable risk assessments and security measures for data processing involving automated decision-making tools (where applicable). Clients receive notices for material changes in data practices.

Client Responsibilities: Maintain accurate information, secure your credentials, comply with all laws (including accessibility standards like WCAG 2.2+ where required), and ensure your content does not violate third-party rights. You are responsible for legal notices (Terms of Use, Privacy Policy) on your site.

Prohibited Uses: No illegal, infringing, spammy, or harmful activities. Additional restrictions on cannabis/CBD advertising remain, updated for current federal/state laws.

Fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in a specific proposal. We may adjust pricing with 30 days’ notice. Late payments may incur fees and suspension of Services.

• Term: Month-to-month or as specified in your package, auto-renewing unless canceled.
• Termination: Either party may terminate with notice. We may terminate immediately for breach, non-payment, or legal requirements.
• Upon termination, hosting ends, and we assist with domain transfer (reasonable fees may apply). You remain responsible for final payments.

• Our templates, code, designs, and tools remain our property (or licensed to us).
• You own your content and the final custom website (subject to our retained rights in underlying tools).
• We may display “Powered by Cuis Interactive” branding and use your name/logo in our marketing (with opt-out for sensitive cases).

Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.” We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for purpose, and uninterrupted/error-free operation.

We do not guarantee search engine rankings, specific traffic levels, or absolute security (though we maintain industry-standard protections).

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for indirect, consequential, punitive, or incidental damages (including lost profits or data).
• Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from your content, use of the Services, or breach of this Agreement.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

2026 Update: Any disputes shall first attempt informal resolution. Unresolved disputes will be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in North Carolina, or to state/federal courts in North Carolina if arbitration is unenforceable. Class actions and jury trials are waived to the extent permitted by law.

• Changes to Terms: We may update these Terms with notice (via email or website posting). Continued use constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be highlighted.
• Severability, No Waiver, Entire Agreement: Standard clauses updated for clarity.
• Data Transfers & International Users: If you are subject to GDPR or other laws, our Data Processing Addendum (available upon request) applies where we act as a processor.
• Accessibility & Compliance: We strive for modern accessibility standards but final responsibility for your site’s compliance rests with you.
