Terms & Conditions: Cyrus Studio

Last updated: September 25, 2026

These terms ("Terms") are an agreement between you ("Customer") and Cyrus Studio, operated by Nadar Shirazi (commonly known as Dominic Shirazi), based in Portland, Oregon ("we", "us"). By paying the first-month charge or replying "yes" to a service offer via SMS, you agree to these Terms.

1. What you're paying for

Setup: $350, one time. One charge that covers all of:

Initial website design + copywriting + photo selection / retouching
First deployment to a custom domain
Domain registration in your name, covered up to $25/year. Most ordinary .com names cost around $11 and are simply included. Some are not ours to give: a name already owned by someone else has to be bought from them, and auctioned or premium names can run to hundreds or thousands. If the name you want is one of those, we will tell you the real price before anything is bought, and you decide. We will always offer you alternatives that are included.
A designed logo, with print-ready files you keep
Print-ready business card artwork, and printed cards: up to 500 cards a month included for as long as you are a customer. That is far more than most one-person trades hand out, and it is there so you never have to think about reordering. If you genuinely need more than that, tell us and we will work something out rather than nickel-and-dime you.
Google search setup and AI-assistant (AEO) setup
Display of your CCB licence, bond and insurance, as OAR 812-003-0120 requires on website advertising
First 30 days of hosting + content service

Month 2 onward: $100/month recurring. Auto-bills 30 days after the setup charge. Covers:

Hosting on Cloudflare (no separate bill)
Custom domain renewal (annualized into the monthly fee)
Up to 500 printed business cards a month, on request
Unlimited on-demand text and photo updates to your site
Up to 2 social media posts per week across your connected Facebook / Instagram / Google Business Profile pages
Reasonable comment and review responses on those same platforms
One quarterly design refresh if you want one

Referral discount. Every active business you refer who becomes a paying customer earns you a permanent $25/month off your subscription, stackable up to 3 referrals ($75 off, $25/month subscription). If a referred business cancels and you've been with us for 12+ months, your discount stays as a loyalty rate.

Anything outside the scope above (e.g. e-commerce checkout, multi-page menu management, large photo shoots, paid ads) is quoted separately before any work is done.

By replying to any SMS we send, you consent to receive ongoing text messages from us about your website, social posts, and account status. Reply STOP at any time to opt out, we honor STOP immediately, no questions asked, and add the number to our internal do-not-contact list per the federal TCPA.

We do not share your phone number with third parties. Standard message and data rates from your carrier may apply.

3. Cancellation, refunds, and what happens to your site

What happens before you pay anything. We design and build the whole site, write the copy, make the logo, and put it online at a preview address so you can look at it on your phone. That is the draft you were shown. It costs you nothing and you are under no obligation at that point.

What happens after you pay the $350. We register your domain in your name straight away, move the site onto it, order your business cards, and switch on the Google and AI search setup. Those are the parts with a real bill attached, so they happen once you are a customer, not before. We buy the domain immediately rather than waiting, because a name you have chosen can be taken by someone else while we sit on it.

Because the design work is already finished by the time you pay, the $350 is non-refundable as a baseline rule. Two exceptions:

Defect at deploy. If within 7 days of payment the live site has a problem we cannot fix (broken layout, missing photos, wrong business information we will not correct, a domain we cannot register) you get the full $350 back, and the domain released to you if it was bought.
You change your mind in the first 24 hours. Tell us within 24 hours of paying and you get the full $350 back, all of it, no deductions. By then we will usually have already bought your domain. That is our problem, not yours: you get the whole $350 returned, and the domain is yours to keep. Ask and we will send you the transfer code.

On the monthly $100 service (month 2 onward):

You may cancel at any time by replying CANCEL via SMS, emailing Dominic.Shirazi@gmail.com, or asking in any way that's clearly a cancellation. We do not require a written form.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current monthly billing cycle, you keep service through the period you've already paid for, then no further charges are made.
We do not pro-rate refunds for unused days within a paid month, but we will pro-rate if the service was actually broken (down, blank, or inaccessible) for any portion of the month, just tell us.

After any cancellation:

We hand you the transfer authorization code for your domain so you can move it to any other registrar at no charge.
We provide a one-time export of your site's HTML, photos, and content as a zip file at no extra charge.
We will keep your site live for 30 days after cancellation so you have time to migrate. After that, the Cloudflare project is archived but recoverable for another 90 days on request.

4. Content ownership

Your content is yours. Photos you provide, menu items, business descriptions, and any text you write all remain your property.
Your domain is yours. It is registered in your business's name (or yours personally, if you don't have an LLC). We are listed as the technical contact only.
The website design is licensed to you for as long as you remain a paying customer. If you cancel, you keep the right to use the design and content for your own purposes (we don't pull the site out from under you), but you may not resell or relicense the design to anyone else.

5. Things we cannot do for you

We do not handle PCI-compliant credit card processing on your site. If you want online ordering, we will integrate Square, Toast, Stripe, DoorDash, Grubhub, etc. as third-party widgets, those are governed by their own terms.
We do not run paid advertising campaigns (Facebook Ads, Google Ads) unless we have agreed to a separate ads-management plan in writing.
We do not guarantee specific search-ranking outcomes. We do basic on- page SEO (titles, meta descriptions, Schema.org tags, mobile speed), but Google rankings depend on factors outside our control.
We do not provide legal, tax, accounting, or food-safety advice. Anything we say about those topics is conversational, not professional advice.

6. Reasonable use

We may pause service if a customer asks for content that is illegal, violates a platform's Terms of Service, infringes someone else's copyright or trademark, or is harmful, threatening, or harassing.
We may pause service if a customer asks for more than 20 substantive revisions in a single month (most customers ask for fewer than 5, we just don't want to be locked into a content-mill loop).
We may pause service if a payment fails for more than 14 days and we have been unable to reach you to update the payment method.

7. Disclaimers and liability cap

The site and services are provided "as is." We make no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by Oregon law, our total liability for any claim related to the services is capped at the total amount you have paid us in the 6 months preceding the claim.

This cap does not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, or where applicable law forbids the limitation.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will notify you via SMS at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the service after that notice means you accept the new Terms.

9. Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Washington County, Oregon, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction.

We will always try to fix problems by talking to you first. SMS or email Dominic.Shirazi@gmail.com and we'll respond within 2 business days.
