WebSharke

Effective Date: July 12, 2026 · Last Updated: July 12, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of websharke.com and any design, development, or hosting services provided by WebSharke (“WebSharke,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By engaging WebSharke’s services or using our website, you (“Client,” “you”) agree to these Terms.

1. Who You Are Contracting With

WebSharke is currently operated as a sole proprietorship by Wyatt Eldridge, an individual doing business as “WebSharke” (“d/b/a WebSharke”), based in Reno, Nevada. Because no separate legal entity currently exists, any contract formed under these Terms is a contract with Wyatt Eldridge personally, operating under the WebSharke name.

2. Services

WebSharke provides website design, development, and related hosting services to small businesses. The specific services, deliverables, timeline, and price for a given project will be described in a written proposal, invoice, or order confirmation (the “Order”), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of a conflict between an Order and these Terms, the Order controls for that specific engagement.

Current service categories (subject to change; the Order governs pricing for any specific project):

3. Payment Terms

3.1 One-Time Fees

Design and build fees are one-time charges due according to the schedule in the Order (commonly: a deposit before work begins, with the balance due before final launch/handoff, unless the Order states otherwise).

3.2 Recurring Hosting Fees

Hosting is billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, per the Order) starting on the date hosting begins. Recurring charges continue until canceled by either party in accordance with Section 10 (Term and Termination).

3.3 Late or Failed Payment

If a payment fails or is not received by its due date, WebSharke may suspend the affected website, hosting, or services until payment is made current. WebSharke is not responsible for any downtime, data loss, or business impact resulting from suspension due to non-payment.

10. Term and Termination
