What $99 covers

The price is $99, plus tax where it applies. That covers the build and the first year of hosting, so the finished site is live and paid for from the day it's done.

When you pay

Payment comes before the build starts. The AI works from the brief you've submitted, and the $99 is taken at that point. If your payment doesn't go through, we'll let you know and your brief will be waiting if you want to try again.

Prices are shown in US dollars. When the site opens for sale, it will take customers in the UK, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It won't take customers in the European Union.

Starting the build

At checkout, you ask for the build to start straight away. That request also confirms you understand that once the site is built, the usual cancellation period no longer applies. The build happens in one pass as soon as payment clears, which is why that confirmation is asked for before the work begins.

Once payment is confirmed, you'll receive a payment confirmation with your reference number.

Hosting renews at $49 a year once the first year ends. The charge happens automatically, on the renewal date, using the payment method on file.

You get an email reminder at least 30 days before that charge goes through, with the date and the amount on it. That gives you time to decide whether you want to keep the site live before any money moves.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any point before a renewal is charged. It happens from your account page. No email to write, no call to make.

If you cancel before the renewal date, you aren't charged for the next year. The site comes down at the end of the period you've already paid for.

If the price changes

If the renewal price ever changes, it changes for every customer at once. You get at least 30 days' notice before the new price applies, so you can cancel first if you'd rather not continue at the new rate.

The AI builds your site from the brief you give it, in a single pass. It reads the brief once and builds the whole site from what's there.

What one pass means

There is no draft stage. The AI does not show you a partial version to approve before finishing the rest. It builds from the brief straight through to the finished site, so the brief is the one chance to tell it what you want. The guide to writing a brief covers what's worth deciding before you start.

No revision round

Once the build is finished, there is no round of changes built into the price. If the brief described it, the AI builds it; if the brief left something out or left it ambiguous, the AI decides how to fill the gap. That is the trade a one-pass build makes, and it is why the brief matters more here than it would with a service that builds you a draft first.

Refunds once the build has started

Once your build has started, there are no refunds, except where the law gives you a right that can't be taken away. The build starts as soon as the AI begins working from your brief, so there is no later point at which the process can be paused, redone or reversed.

Once the build is finished, the files are yours. You can keep the site at the address you chose, or take the files and host them wherever you like.

The address

Your site gets an address at scrappylink.com, and you choose the part in front of it as part of the brief. If you later move the files elsewhere, that choice of address is what you're moving away from, so it's worth picking something you're happy to keep or happy to replace.

Taking the files elsewhere

Nothing about the build ties the files to this hosting. They're standard site files, and moving them to another host is your decision to make whenever you make it.
