What happens to my website if I cancel?

You can cancel any month, with no fee and no notice period. The site stays up until the end of the month you've paid for, then comes down. Your web address stays yours, and pointing it somewhere new is a change you make at your registrar. Your photos, your logo and your leads are yours, and we send you the leads if you ask before your last day.

Why the site comes down

Bindingstone owns the website: the design, the code, the words we wrote and the servers it runs on. That's what lets us fix it, add towns to it and update it without asking you first, and it's the reason the monthly price covers everything instead of being a build fee plus a bill for changes.

The other side of that is plain and you should hear it before you sign up rather than after. Stop paying and the site stops being served. It isn't handed over, and there's no version where you keep the pages and drop the payment.

What stays yours

Your web address, in your name at your registrar the whole time. Where it points after your last day is yours to decide and yours to change, at the registrar, and we don't touch it. Your logo, your photos and anything else you sent us. Your Google Business Profile, which was always yours and which we only lined up with the site.

Your leads too. Ask before your last day and we send you a copy. The reviews you collected stay on your listing, because they live there rather than on the website.

How canceling works

Do it from your account, or send an email saying so. There's no fee for leaving, no notice period, and nothing to argue about, because there was no contract to start with.

Nothing has to be justified either. You don't owe a reason, there's no call to sit through, and nobody is going to spend a week trying to talk you out of it. Say so and it's done.

The month you're in is the month you've paid for and it isn't pro-rated or refunded. So cancel when you mean to and use the rest of the month, which is usually enough time to get your address pointed somewhere new.

What to do before your last day

Ask for your leads. Download your photos if you don't have originals. Decide where the web address should point, whether that's a new site, a holding page or your Google listing, and make that change at your registrar so nobody typing your address lands on nothing.

Then update the website link on your Business Profile, so the listing that keeps working points somewhere that keeps working.

What this means for you

If this is the question deciding whether to sign up at all, read it as the trade it is: no setup fee and no contract on one side, a site you rent rather than own on the other. Both halves are in the terms, in the same words, and neither one changes later.

Bindingstone writes the whole arrangement down before you pay for anything, $497 a month, no setup fee, no contract, cancel any month, and the terms page says it in the same words this page does.
