Websites outside India · the terms

The terms, before you sign anything.

These are the terms of the written agreement every client outside India signs before the build. The agreement adds your pages, your dates and your name. If the two ever differ, the signed agreement wins.

Updated 4 October 2026

A business in India? Its websites are priced in rupees, and their terms are on the terms page, under “Websites (in India)”. Everything below is for businesses outside India, in US dollars, with no GST. Until October 2026 these terms were published at quietlybuild.in; the business, the person and the terms are the same.

What you get: the whole website, from one person

Site plan: The list of pages, the structure of every page and the first words of your home page, in writing, within 10 working days. Yours to keep, whatever you decide next.
The writing: All of it. You do not send us copy. The words come from Aditya, drafted from our call and your answers, and you correct them.
Design: For desktop and for a phone, for every page in the Site plan.
The build: Custom-coded, no page builder, on your own domain.
Speed and search: The things Google checks, done as part of the build and not sold separately.
A shot list: For your photographer, so the pictures you take are the ones the pages need.
Changes: Two rounds on the design and two on the built site, each from one list from you. Fixing something we got wrong does not use up a round.
After launch: Fixes and small changes for 30 days after the site goes live.

Up to 12 pages are in the price. They are listed in your Site plan and written into the agreement, and an extra page is US$400, writing included. For scale: the New Zealand practice’s site is twelve pages; the hotel’s is fourteen. See an example Site plan · See a specimen scope

What is not included: what you pay for separately, or not at all

Photography, illustration, stock images and paid fonts. If the design needs them, you license them directly and approve the cost first.
Domain and hosting bills. Both are billed to you directly by the provider, in your name (section 5).
Legal text for your privacy and terms pages. Your lawyer writes it; we build the pages.
Ongoing marketing, ads, SEO campaigns or content after launch.
E-commerce, logins, or anything that needs a database. Linking the booking system or client portal you already use is included, as a link or button that opens it; a technical integration with it, or building one, is not.
More pages than the agreement lists (US$400 a page, writing included).
A second language. It gets a written price first.
Maintenance after the 30 days end, unless you take Care (section 7).

Anything new gets a written price before we start it. Nothing gets built on a conversation.

Price and payment: US$7,500, fixed, for the whole site

You see each stage before you pay for the next. The call is free. The first payment is the Site plan, and it counts in full towards the price.

What you pay at each stage, on the standard schedule and on a founding place
Stage	Standard	Founding place
0A video call Half an hour on video, before you pay anything: you see who you would be paying, and Aditya hears how the business works. At the end he tells you whether he would build it.	Free	Free
1The Site plan Within 10 working days: the list of pages, the structure of every page and the first words of your home page, in writing. Yours to keep, whatever you decide next. Credited in full to the build if you book it within six months. See an example	US$750	US$750
2Book the build You have read the plan and want the site. Aditya writes the rest of the words and designs it, for desktop and phone. 40% of the price, or 20% for a founding place, less the US$750 already paid.	US$2,250	US$750
3Design approved Your real words in place. You correct them line by line, and pay when you approve the design.	US$3,000	US$3,000
4Launch Built, checked and live on your domain. The hosting goes into your name at launch. Thirty days of fixes and small changes after that.	US$1,500	US$3,000
US$7,500 either way. The US$750 counts towards it: the payments add up to US$7,500, not US$8,250.	US$7,500	US$7,500

The US$750 counts towards the price. The payments add up to US$7,500, not US$8,250. The Site plan is credited in full to the build if you book it within six months.

If the Site plan is late, or no use to you

Within 10 working days of your payment reaching us, you have in writing the list of pages, the structure of every page and the first words of the home page. They are yours to keep, whether or not you go on. If they are not with you within 10 working days, your US$750 comes back in full. If the Site plan is no use to you, tell us within 7 days of receiving it and the US$750 comes back in full. Once per business. If you go on to the build, the US$750 counts in full towards it.

Founding places: 3 of 3 left

For the first three clients outside India from October 2026, who agree to be a named case study and to take one reference call. You pay less before you see the design, and more when the site is live: US$750 for the Site plan, US$750 to book the build, US$3,000 when you approve the design and US$3,000 at launch. The price and the work are the same.

We change this number by hand the day a place is taken. Last changed 26 September 2026.

How you pay

An ordinary bank transfer in your own currency (US dollars, pounds, euros, Canadian dollars and more) to a local account in your country; no international wire. Or by Wise. In New Zealand and the Gulf, you pay in US dollars by bank transfer or Wise.

Your price in your currency is fixed on the day you sign. After that, what you owe does not move with the exchange rate. Outside India there is no GST: the invoice is in your own currency, with no Indian tax added.

US$7,500 in your currency, as a guide
Currency	The whole site	The Site plan
Pounds	about £5,700	about £570
Euros	about €6,600	about €660
Canadian dollars	about C$10,600	about C$1,060
New Zealand dollars	about NZ$13,200	about NZ$1,320
UAE dirhams	about AED 27,500	about AED 2,750

At the European Central Bank’s reference rates of 25 September 2026, and the dirham’s fixed rate to the dollar, rounded. Your own figure is worked out on the day you sign and written into the agreement. In New Zealand and the Gulf you pay in US dollars, so those two rows are only a guide.

The local accounts are run for GrowMint Media by Razorpay and its partner banks (the privacy note says what they receive), and the payee your bank shows is GrowMint Media. A local transfer is a domestic payment for your bank, so it costs what your bank charges for one. The Site plan and the booking payment are due on receipt; the build starts once the booking payment has cleared. The design and launch payments are due 14 days from their invoice date. After that we may pause work until the invoice is settled.

Before you pay

Payment details only ever come from aditya@growmintmedia.in, and they never change by email. If a message says they have, WhatsApp me before you pay. — Aditya

Why that address? Invoices come from GrowMint Media, the registered business that sells the websites, so they are sent from its mailbox, aditya@growmintmedia.in. The name on the invoice, the name on the account you pay and the name your bank may check the payment against are then one and the same. Bank details are never published on this site: they come with your invoice, and only with it. See a specimen invoice

Dates you can hold us to

Site plan: With you within 10 working days.
Build starts: Once the booking payment has cleared. The agreement gives a date for each stage.
Design approved: The design payment is invoiced.
Live: The launch payment is invoiced the same day.
If you go quiet: If we are waiting on you and hear nothing for 10 working days, we write to tell you. After 15 working days without a reply, your slot is released and the build pauses. When you are back, it restarts in the next free slot, with new dates.
Silence: Nothing is ever approved by silence. A stage counts as approved only when you approve it in writing.

The dates assume your feedback reaches us within three working days at each stage. Later than that, every date after it moves by the same number of days. If we cause a delay, we tell you the same day, with a new date. Aditya builds one site at a time, so the date we agree is a date we can keep. If he cannot work for more than five working days in a row, we tell you the same day, and the dates move day for day. Most sites take six to nine weeks from the Site plan to launch, including your review time.

What you own: the site is yours

Your domain and every file are yours from the first day. The hosting goes into your name at launch. Nothing is held back if we part ways. The Site plan is yours to keep from the day it reaches you, whether or not you go on.

When your final payment reaches us, we assign to you all rights in the finished website, including copyright, worldwide, for the full term of copyright, irrevocably. If you stop part-way, you pay for the work done to date, and everything you have paid for is assigned to you on the same terms when that payment reaches us.

We will not assert moral rights against changes you later make. Typefaces, stock images and any third-party code stay under their makers’ licences and are licensed to you directly. We show your site in our portfolio only with your written permission, and we do not publish your staff’s names or photographs without their consent.

One person, and a call before you pay

One person: Aditya does the Site plan, the words, the design and the code. No juniors, no account manager, no handover. Nothing is subcontracted, except a translation into another language, which a professional translator does.
No commission: We take no commission or payment from any software, hosting or service we recommend, and we pay no one a commission for introducing a client.
Every line: Aditya decides the structure and every word, and checks every line of copy and code himself. Nothing goes live that you haven’t read.
Calls: On video, before you pay anything, booked online or arranged on WhatsApp or by email: starting from 15:30 to 18:30 India time, Monday to Friday, plus Tuesday and Thursday 06:00 and Thursday 19:30 India time. During a build, calls keep to the same times: from New Zealand the Tuesday and Thursday morning calls fall in your day, and from North America the Thursday evening one. WhatsApp calls are welcome in website hours.
Hours: Website hours are fixed, about 19 hours a week, and Aditya takes one site at a time. The hours are 15:15 to 19:00 India time, Monday to Friday. Calls and replies happen inside them, so a message never waits more than one working day. Outside them we work by email and WhatsApp.
Every Friday: While we build your site, you get a short written note of what was done and what’s next.
In writing: The Site plan, the price and the dates, in one agreement you can read twice before you sign.
Stopping: Tell us in writing. You pay for the work done to date and keep everything done so far once that payment reaches us.

After launch: thirty days of fixes, then Care if you want it

Every site comes with 30 days of fixes and small changes after launch. After that, Care keeps it working and current. It is optional, monthly, and stops whenever you say.

First 30 days: Included. Fixes and small changes.
Care: US$150 a month. Optional, no lock-in: the site watched, fixes, up to an hour of changes and a note each month.
Small changes: From US$100. Priced in writing before we start.
Hosting: Billed by the host. To you directly, never through us.

What Care covers

Watching: Your site is checked every five minutes. If it stops answering, or stops showing your own words, we are told. We are also warned before your security certificate or your domain runs out.
Fixing: Anything that stops working as it did when you approved it: a link, a button, a picture, a page a new browser shows wrongly. Fixes never count against your hour.
Changes: Up to one hour a month of changes to your words and photographs: new prices, new opening hours, a photograph swapped, a new team member, a notice for a holiday. Unused time does not carry over.
Renewals: We keep an eye on everything your site depends on: the domain, the certificate, the hosting plan, and the records that let your domain send email. We remind you at least 30 days before your domain renews. You renew it in your own account; we never pay a bill for you.
A note each month: On the first working day of each month: whether your site was up, and for how long it was not; what we changed; what renews in the next 90 days; and anything we noticed.
Your files: Every change is kept. Once a quarter, and whenever you ask, you get a dated copy of every file.

How quickly

Any message gets a written reply within one working day.
When your host itself has a problem, we cannot fix it. We tell you what is happening, and when it is back.

What Care does not cover

New pages or sections, new features, a second language or a new design. Each gets a written price first.
Your domain, hosting and email bills. They go to you directly, in your name.
Your mailbox itself, and its provider.
Ads, social media, SEO campaigns or your Google Business Profile.
Results. Care keeps your site working. It does not promise enquiries, bookings or rankings.

Starting and stopping

Start: Any time after launch. Tell us in writing, and we send the first month’s invoice. Care runs from the day it is paid, a month at a time, invoiced in advance. The price is fixed in your own currency (in US dollars in New Zealand and the Gulf) on the day you say yes.
Access: Care needs our access to your hosting, through our own login, never your password. You keep it switched on while Care runs. You can remove it at any time; Care then ends at the end of the month you have paid for. If your host charges for our seat, it bills you directly.
Stop: Tell us in writing, at any time. Care ends at the end of the month you have paid for, and nothing more is due. Within five working days we send you a dated copy of every file and a short note of what renews next, and we leave your hosting account.

Small changes, without Care

A small change is one we can make in about an hour: words, photographs, prices, opening hours, a team member, a link. It costs US$100. Anything bigger gets a fixed price in writing before we start, in steps of US$100. Small changes are invoiced when they are done.

For example: new opening hours on the contact page and in the footer, US$100. Five new photographs you send, made ready for the site and swapped in, US$100. A new question in your FAQ, written from your voice note, US$100. One service page rewritten after a change in the rules, from a short call, US$200.

If we let you down: what you get back

The Site plan is late: If it is not with you within 10 working days, your US$750 comes back in full.
The Site plan is no use to you: Tell us within 7 days of receiving it and the US$750 comes back in full. Once per business.
A date slips because of us: If we miss a date by more than 10 working days for reasons within our control, you may end the agreement, pay nothing more and keep everything done so far.Clause 14.5
We have to stop: We hand over everything done so far and refund whatever you have paid beyond the work done.Clause 14.6
Aditya cannot work: If he cannot work for more than 20 working days in a row, you may end the agreement and pay only for the work done.Clause 15.2
The limit: Each of us is liable to the other for no more than the fees paid under the agreement. That limit never applies to fraud.Clause 13
The law: For a business outside India, the agreement is governed by the law of the place where your business is. If we can’t settle a disagreement between ourselves within 15 working days, either of us may take it to the courts there or in Punjab.Clause 17
In practice: For a client abroad, what protects you day to day is the order of the payments, not a court. Before you see a design you have paid US$3,000 (US$1,500 on a founding place), and every stage you have paid for is yours.

Summarised from the agreement; its words govern. The whole agreement is 18 pages. Ask for a copy before your call, and we email it to you: aditya@growmintmedia.in.
