Legal

The agreement, in plain English.

Last updated: May 30, 2026

Drafted by the founder with AI assistance, not by a licensed attorney. Legal-counsel review is pending; for any material decision (litigation, large enterprise contract, regulated jurisdiction), consult a lawyer in your jurisdiction — don't rely on this document alone. If you spot something off, email hello@carbonandchrome.org.

You give us your shop URL, we build and host your website, you pay $29 a month or $249 a year, and you can cancel anytime. Everything below is just that, spelled out.

01The service

C&C Themes is a website platform operated by Carbon & Chrome Holdings LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Carbon & Chrome,” “we,” “us”). These terms govern your use of themes.carbonandchrome.io and the C&C Themes subscription service.

You give us your shop URL. Our engine extracts your publicly available business data and builds a complete website. We host it, maintain it, and keep it running for as long as your subscription is active.

02Account & eligibility

By creating an account you confirm you're a real business owner (or someone authorized to act for one), at least 18 years old, and not banned from our service or barred under applicable US sanctions law.

You're responsible for keeping your password secret and for everything that happens under your account. If you spot unauthorized access, email hello@carbonandchrome.org and we'll lock the account immediately.

One account per business. Don't share logins across teams — invite collaborators when we ship that feature.

03Pricing & billing

Two plans, both with full feature access:

• Monthly — $29 per month, auto-renews monthly until you cancel.
• Annual — $249 per year, billed once, renews annually until you cancel.

Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy (our merchant of record). All prices are in US dollars. Sales tax / VAT is added at checkout where required by your jurisdiction.

Price changes.If we raise the price of a plan you're on, we'll email you at least 30 days before the new price takes effect. The new price applies on your next renewal — never mid-cycle.

04Cancellation & refunds

• Cancel anytime from your dashboard or by emailing us. No contracts, no penalties, no guilt trips.
• Monthly — you keep access until the end of the current billing month. No partial-month refunds.
• Annual — refundable in full within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked. After 30 days, annual is non-refundable, but you keep access through the year you paid for.
• After cancellation — your site stays online for 30 days so you can migrate. Account data archives for 90 days, then deletes.
• Chargebacks — please email us first. We'd rather refund you than fight a chargeback.

05Acceptable use

Don't use C&C Themes to:

• Host illegal content or run an illegal business.
• Impersonate another shop, scrape competitor sites without permission, or claim credentials you don't have.
• Misrepresent your business identity, services, or pricing.
• Host adult content, sexually explicit material, hate speech, harassment, or threats.
• Run spam, phishing, malware, or any deceptive scheme.
• Reverse-engineer, copy, or resell the platform, modules, or design system.
• Damage, disable, or overload our infrastructure (DDoS, scraping at abusive rates, etc.).

We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules. We'll tell you why, and if we terminate you for an acceptable-use violation, we'll refund any unused prepaid balance.

06Your content & our platform

Your stuff stays yours. Your business name, photos, copy, logos, customer data, and anything else you upload or paste into the builder — that belongs to you. Always.

Our stuff stays ours.The engine, modules, palettes, design system, and all the underlying software are owned by Carbon & Chrome Holdings LLC and protected by copyright and trade-secret law. While your subscription is active, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the generated site for your shop's business.

License to host you. You grant us a limited, royalty-free license to store, display, cache, and serve your content for the sole purpose of running the service. This license ends when you delete your content or your subscription terminates (subject to the 90-day archive window in section 04).

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we can use them to improve the platform without owing you anything.

07Uptime & service levels

We target 99.5% monthly uptime. Planned maintenance is announced at least 48 hours in advance by email. The current tier doesn't include automated SLA credits; if uptime becomes a persistent problem, email us and we'll work it out individually.

08Warranty disclaimer

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties — express, implied, or statutory — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We don't warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the results you get will meet every specific requirement. Some jurisdictions don't allow disclaimer of implied warranties; in those places, this section applies to the maximum extent allowed.

09Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: Carbon & Chrome Holdings LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — including lost revenue, lost profits, lost leads, lost data, or business interruption — even if we've been advised those losses are possible.

Liability cap.Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or anything else that can't be excluded by law.

10Indemnification

You'll defend and indemnify Carbon & Chrome Holdings LLC against any third-party claim arising from (a) content you uploaded or pasted into the builder, (b) your violation of these terms, or (c) your violation of someone else's rights.

We'll defend and indemnify you against any third-party claim that the C&C Themes platform itself (excluding your content) infringes a US copyright, trademark, or trade secret. If we receive such a claim, we may at our option modify the platform, secure rights to keep using it, or terminate your subscription with a prorated refund.

11Termination

You can terminate anytime by canceling your subscription (section 04).

We can terminate or suspend your account for material breach of these terms, non-payment after reasonable notice, or violation of section 05 (Acceptable Use). If we shut down the service entirely, we'll give active customers at least 60 days' notice and a prorated refund of any prepaid annual balance.

Sections that should survive termination — IP ownership, liability caps, indemnification, governing law — survive.

12Governing law & disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Try to resolve it informally first.Email us. We'd rather have a real conversation than a lawsuit. Most things get sorted in a single thread.

If we can't. Any dispute arising out of these terms or the service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration takes place in Virginia or remotely. Carve-outs:either of us can still bring a small-claims action (up to the applicable court's limit) and either of us can seek injunctive relief in court for IP violations.

Class-action waiver. Disputes are resolved individually. No class actions, no consolidated arbitrations.

13Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If we change anything material — pricing, what you get, how cancellation works, the dispute clause — we'll email active customers and give 30 days' notice before the change takes effect. Minor wording cleanups update the date at the top.

If you don't agree to a material change, cancel before it takes effect and we'll prorate any annual balance. Continuing to use the service after the notice window counts as acceptance.

14Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These terms, plus our Privacy Policy and any plan-specific terms at checkout, are the entire agreement between us. They replace anything you read on a marketing page.

Severability. If a court strikes down one part of these terms, the rest still applies.

No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision once, that doesn't mean we won't enforce it later.

Assignment.You can't assign these terms without our written consent. We can assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure.We're not liable for delays caused by things beyond our reasonable control — internet outages at scale, natural disasters, government action, that kind of thing.
