How Payment Works

Clear Terms. No Surprises.

Split the build fee at kickoff and launch, then month-to-month care. That is it.

  1. 1 Kickoff Payment Pay 50% of the build fee at kickoff. We start immediately.
  2. 2 Launch Payment Pay the remaining 50% at launch, or 90 days from kickoff, whichever comes first. This keeps the project on track even if content is slow.
  3. 3 Monthly Care Starts Your chosen care tier begins after launch, from $40 per month.
  4. 4 Month-to-Month No long contracts. Cancel with 30 days notice, any time.

Growth Engine offers a 3-payment build option: $4,000 at kickoff, $4,000 at day 45, $4,000 at launch (or 90 days, whichever comes first). Also available as 2 payments of $6,000, or the full $12,000.

What Is Included in Monthly Care?

  • Premium hosting: fast, reliable servers optimized for WordPress
  • Daily backups: automated backups stored securely off-site
  • Enterprise security: firewall, malware monitoring, DDoS protection
  • Updates and maintenance: core, theme, and plugin updates
  • Shared tools included: no license fee on tools we reuse across clients (client-specific paid plugins billed separately)
  • Technical support: priority support for issues and questions

Deposits and Payments

Our payment structure is designed to be simple and predictable. Here is how it works:

1
First Payment (50%)Due at project kickoff. This initiates your project and secures your spot in our queue.
2
Final Payment (50%)Due at launch, or 90 days from kickoff, whichever comes first. This covers the completion phase of your project.
3
Monthly CareBegins when your build launches. Covers ongoing hosting, maintenance, and support.
Auto-PayAll payments set up as recurring
No ContractsMonth-to-month billing

Cancel Anytime: There is no long-term contract. Services are billed month-to-month and may be canceled at any time. When canceled, services remain active until the end of the current billing cycle. Growth Engine builds can be split into three payments: at kickoff, at day 45, and at launch or 90 days from kickoff.

Refund Policy

We want you to feel confident about your investment. Here is our refund policy:

48-Hour Refund WindowRefund requests must be made within 48 hours of payment to be eligible.
After 48 HoursNo refunds will be issued for deposits, monthly investments, or other fees.
Third-Party Services and Ad SpendNo refunds available after 48 hours or once the service has been initiated.

Processing Fee: All refunds are subject to a $25 processing fee to cover transaction costs.

Third-Party Services

Your project may include third-party services that have their own costs and policies:

Hosting
Domains
Ad Platforms
Plugins
Enrichment Tools
Automation

Initiation Timeline: Third-party services are initiated on the third business day after payment. This gives time to confirm your project details before committing to external services.

  • Third-party services are nonrefundable once purchased, regardless of use or cancellation.
  • Clients are responsible for all third-party costs in addition to Black Tiger Digital’s service fees.
  • A 20% management fee applies to third-party services we purchase, configure, or maintain on your behalf (hosting, plugins, CRM, enrichment tools, and automation). Ad-spend management follows the Growth Engine pricing (from $500, scaling with spend), not the 20% fee.

Account Payments and Suspension

We understand that sometimes payments get missed. Here is exactly what happens and when:

Monthly investments are billed in advance. You are billed at the start of each service cycle, not at the end.

If a Payment is Missed

Grace PeriodDays 1-7You have 7 days to resolve the balance. Services remain fully active during this time, and we will send reminders to help you catch the issue.
Services SuspendedDay 8Your website is backed up and services are suspended until payment is made. Your site goes offline, but your data is safe.
Final Backup DeliveredDay 14A full backup of your website is delivered via a service like WeTransfer. You have 3 days to download the files.

What is Included in the Backup

Website files and database
Media uploads and images
Automations and workflows
Third-party service configs

Management Fees: A 20% management fee applies to third-party services Black Tiger Digital manages on your behalf: plugin licenses, CRM subscriptions, automation platform credits, enrichment tools, and hosting we purchase, configure, or maintain. Ad-spend management is billed under the Growth Engine pricing ($750 base plus 20% of ad spend), separate from this third-party service fee.
