GENERAL

How leasing a website is different from purchasing a website?

Leasing a website can have several advantages over owning a website, including:

Lower upfront costs, No long-term commitment, Access to professional design and development, Ongoing maintenance, and support, Easy scalability, No need for technical expertise, Option to upgrade, Authority GEO Branding, and often Tax Deductible

Lower upfront costs

Leasing a website requires a smaller upfront investment compared to building or buying a website. This can be particularly beneficial for small businesses or startups that have limited resources.

No long-term commitment

A website lease typically involves a shorter-term commitment than owning a website outright. This can provide greater flexibility for businesses that may not be ready to commit to a long-term website investment.

Access to professional design and development

Consumer Funnels provides access to professional designers and developers who can create a custom website tailored to your business’s specific needs.

Ongoing maintenance and support

Consumer Funnels provides ongoing maintenance and support for our websites, including but not limited to security updates, hosting, and technical support.

Easy scalability

Leasing a website can allow businesses to easily scale up or down depending on their needs. This can be particularly beneficial for independent contractors, small or seasonal businesses to businesses with fluctuating demand.

No need for technical expertise

Leasing a website eliminates the need for business owners or managers to have technical expertise or resources to manage the website themselves. This can be particularly beneficial for small businesses or those without an IT department.

Option to upgrade

Consumer Funnels offer the option to upgrade to a higher-level Authority website funnel as the business grows and expands.

Authority GEO Branding

The goal of Authority GEO Branding is to position our client’s business or brand as a leader in their industry or niche within a specific geographic area.

Tax Deductible

In many cases, renting a website can be tax deductible for businesses. This is because website rental fees can be considered a business expense, which can be deducted from a company’s taxable income.

Authority GEO Website Funnel Cost?

Do you sell your Authority GEO Funnels & Domains?

This allows the renters to use the Authority GEO Funnel for their authority online presence, while the ownership of the Authority GEO Funnel remains with Consumer Funnels.

While it’s possible for Consumer Funnels to sell the Authority GEO Funnels and or Domains we own, this is not typically the primary focus of our business. Instead, our focus is on renting out our Authority GEO Funnels including the Domain names to businesses and individuals who are looking for a cost-effective way to establish their authority online presence without having to purchase a domain outright.

However, if a renter is interested in purchasing the Authority GEO Funnel and or domain name they are renting, they may be able to negotiate a sale with Consumer Funnels. In this case, the terms of the sale would be negotiated between Consumer Funnels and we would transfer ownership of the domain to the renter in exchange for a mutually agreed-upon price.  For additional information on purchasing one of our Authority GEO Funnels and or Domains contact [email protected] or [email protected] and speak with one of our Authority GEO Marketing Specialist.

Renewals - How Renewal Plans Work

The terms and conditions for renewal of a website rental agreement can vary depending on the Authority GEO Brand Website Funnel Plan. However, many of our common renewal options and terms include:

Automatic Renewal:

Some Authority GEO Brand Website Funnel Plans offer automatic renewals of the rental agreement at the end of the rental period. This means that the client’s credit card or payment information is kept on file and the agreement will automatically renew for another term (e.g. 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year) unless the client cancels the renewal.

Manual Renewal:

Consumer Funnels require Subscription renewals unless clients elect to manually renew their rental agreement at the end of the term. This may involve submitting a renewal request or payment before the end of the rental period. (This arrangement is void of receiving discounts)

Renewal Fees:

The renewal fees for Consumer Funnels rental agreement can vary depending on the Authority GEO Brand Website Funnel Plans and terms of the agreement. Consumer Funnels will offer discounts for clients who renew for longer periods (e.g. 6 months or 1 year), while clients that pay in shorter intervals are charged a standard rate for shorter renewal periods (e.g. 3 months).

Changes to Terms:

It’s important for clients to carefully review and understand the renewal terms and conditions, as these may differ from the original agreement. For example, Consumer Funnels may adjust its pricing, support offerings, or other terms after a plan has begun, therefore prices could be lower or higher than the original agreement was signed when it’s time to renew.

Termination:

In some cases, the Authority GEO Brand Website Funnel Plan rental agreement may include provisions for termination or cancellation of the renewal agreement. This may involve a voided agreement, notice period or additional fees, depending on the terms of the agreement.

Overall, clients should review the terms and conditions of their website rental agreement carefully to understand the renewal options, fees, and any changes to the original agreement that may apply.

Do you offer a Contract?

Consumer Funnels contract is structured to reflect the payment terms and schedule for the rental period. The contract specifies the payment amount and frequency, I.E., payments being made every 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year. The consequences of missing a payment or defaulting on the contract may reflect in a voided agreement for an exact Authority GEO Website Funnel and its area specific Domain.

Refunds will be prorated based on the Nature of the GEO Specific Authority Branding associated with each Website Funnel, to ensure each client’s brand is protected. Consumer Funnels cannot offer a full refund for payments made by clients as the time frame of each payment blocks the use of the Authority Brand based on the individualized SEO performed for each rental clients business. 

Do you offer a refund?

For consumers to obtain a refund, the following items are considered.

  • Dissatisfaction with the website design or functionality – If the client is unhappy with the website that was created for them, they may request a refund.
  • Technical issues with the website – If the website experiences technical issues that cannot be resolved, the client may be eligible for a refund.
  • Failure to meet delivery or performance expectations – If Consumer Funnels fails to meet the delivery or performance expectations outlined in the contract, the client may be eligible for a refund.
  • Cancellation of the rental agreement – If the client cancels the rental agreement within a specified period of time, they may be eligible for a partial or full refund, depending on the terms of the contract.
  • All Refunds are prorated as a result on the inability to expeditiously re-brand the GEO Authority Brand Name.  Most often, resales of rented GEO Authority Brands are delayed, and as a result, once an GEO Authority Brand is rented, all refunds are prorated based on the ability to re-brand and re-rent factors mentioned.

(See terms of service for a more detailed explanation for the structure of refunds as they pertain to times and amounts.)   

What happens if the website goes down or experiences technical issues?

If an Authority GEO Website Funnel goes down or experiences technical issues, Consumer Funnels is responsible for resolving the issue.
