If the winner wishes to upgrade to a larger website or branding package, this can be arranged for an additional fee prior to the start of the project.
The prize is not transferable, exchangeable, or redeemable for cash.

The prize does not include domain registration or renewal fees, website hosting costs, premium plugins or paid third-party integrations, ongoing maintenance or content updates beyond the included care plan period, printing or production costs for any branded collateral, copywriting for pages beyond those included in the Standard Website Package, or any photography, videography, or image licensing fees.
Any additional costs incurred will be discussed and agreed upon with the winner before work begins.

The winner will be notified via email within five business days of the closing date. If the winner does not respond within seven days of notification, Stage One reserves the right to select an alternative winner.
Project Conditions
Once confirmed, the project must commence within three months of the winner announcement, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Standard project timelines, processes, and terms will apply once the project begins.
Stage One will work closely with the winner throughout the design and development process to ensure the best possible outcome within the agreed scope.
