Deadline or Dime Guarantee Terms
Effective November 9, 2026. The offer, the clock, the remedy, and the limits — in the same size type as the promise.
Effective date: November 9, 2026.
The Deadline or Dime Guarantee
Deadline or Dime
One Week. One Website. Zero Risk.
“Zero Risk” means only that development-fee remedy. It does not mean every cost or business risk is eliminated. Domain fees, advertising, third-party tools, and Website Care stay outside that sentence unless the signed agreement expressly includes them.
“One week” means seven calendar days, not seven business days.
For eligible projects, Keari guarantees delivery of the agreed, completed, launch-ready website within seven calendar days.
Launch-ready delivery means Keari hands over the agreed, completed website, ready to launch. It is not the moment the remaining balance is paid, not the moment the website becomes public on a domain, and not an open-ended review. Design review happens before that handoff. Public launch, final payment, and later support are separate steps.
The countdown begins only when both of these are true:
- The customer’s required deposit has been received.
- Keari has received all agreed information, files, branding, content, images, and access needed to build the website.
We stand behind our deadlines. If we miss your guaranteed website delivery date because of delays on our end, the website development is on us.
If Keari misses the agreed deadline due to delays within its control:
- The website development is completely free.
- Development payments are refunded, including the initial deposit and any other website-development payments already made for that agreed website.
- The originally agreed website is completed without additional development charges.
Separate third-party fees and post-launch subscriptions are not covered unless expressly included in the signed agreement.
The guarantee covers eligible professional website projects that the signed agreement says are covered. Custom software is not part of this seven-day promise. The $4,000 starting price does not, by itself, decide eligibility.
What “on us” covers
If the remedy applies, development payments already made for that agreed website are refunded, including the deposit, and Keari still finishes the originally agreed website without additional development charges. Money paid to a registrar, an ad platform, a stock library, or a post-launch subscription — including Website Care — is not part of that remedy unless the signed agreement says it is.
Only 5 Website Build Spots Per Intake.
Keari accepts a limited number of active website projects at a time to maintain delivery quality. The limit is 5 website build spots per intake. That number is an intake capacity limit. It is not a live count of open spots, it is not a countdown timer, and it is not a claim that Keari will only ever accept 5 customers. A live availability number is not published, because one has not been configured.
What happens if the customer is the one waiting
If Keari is blocked because agreed materials were incomplete or a necessary question is unanswered, the seven-day count pauses until that blockage ends. A change in scope does not keep the original deadline. This pause rule is also written into the signed project agreement.
How fast a guarantee refund is paid
Development payments covered by the remedy are returned within 14 days after Keari confirms the miss in writing, back to the original payment method when the payment processor allows it.
What launch-ready means
Launch-ready delivery is the handoff of the agreed, completed website, ready to launch. It is not the balance payment, not the public DNS launch, and not an open-ended review. Design review happens before that handoff. The guarantee clock is tied to this handoff, not to going live on the customer’s domain.
