Terms

Terms and the Founding Beta agreement.

Last updated September 14, 2026

Plain language, on purpose. If a line here does not match what you were told, the line here is wrong and we will fix it.

1. Who you are contracting with

Illustrious Consulting & Development LLC, operating as Illustrious, based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Texas. Cristopher Esparza Tortolero is the accountable operator on every engagement.

These terms cover the free business read and the Founding Beta seat. Larger build engagements are governed by a separate written scope you approve before work starts.

2. The free business read

Creating an account requires an email address and a password. No credit card, billing address, or payment details are collected, and nothing is charged.

The read is a structured review of your digital presence, brand, and growth gaps. It is yours to keep and act on whether or not you ever pay us anything.

The first 100 accounts also receive a complimentary live consult. That allotment is counted in order of sign-up and is not reserved by inquiry.

The read is advisory. It is not a guarantee of ranking, traffic, revenue, or any specific business outcome.

3. Founding Beta seat

The Founding Beta is a one-time $150 fee, limited to the first 20 businesses that claim a seat. Seats are counted on payment, not on interest.

A seat includes beta access to the Illustrious harness, plus a full suite built for your business: brand direction, a live website, core automations, and an AI receptionist configured for your operation.

It does not include paid media spend, third-party subscriptions, hardware, printing, licensed stock or fonts, or work outside the agreed suite. Those are quoted separately and only start after you approve them in writing.

Beta means beta. Features change, some are unfinished, and you will be asked for feedback. In exchange, your founding rate is locked for the life of your account.

There is no subscription to Illustrious attached to the seat and no auto-renewal. The fee is charged once.

4. Platform requirement

Your workspace is built on the Lovable platform. You hold your own Lovable account on the Business plan at its lowest tier, billed by Lovable directly to you, so the workspace, its history, and its billing sit in your name from day one.

Cristopher builds and maintains that workspace as a Lovable certified expert partner and is added to it with the access needed to do the work. You can remove that access at any time and the workspace remains yours and fully functional.

Lovable's own pricing, terms, and availability are set by Lovable, not by Illustrious, and can change independently of these terms.

5. What you own

Code, domain, hosting account, analytics, SEO configuration, and customer data are yours. On launch they sit in accounts registered in your name.

If you stop working with us, nothing shuts off and nothing is held back. We remove our access on request and hand over any credential still in our possession.

Illustrious retains the right to reference the engagement as portfolio work unless you ask us not to. Say the word and the record is flagged private, permanently.

6. Payment, refunds, and cancellation

The $150 founding fee is due at claim and is refundable in full for 14 days if we have not yet started build work on your suite.

Once build work has started, the fee is non-refundable, because the work it covers has been performed.

You can stop at any time. There is no notice period, no termination fee, and no clawback of anything already delivered to you.

Fees for separately quoted work follow the payment schedule in that written quote.

7. Your responsibilities

You provide accurate business information, timely feedback, and the access needed to publish and configure your systems.

You confirm you hold the rights to any logo, photography, copy, or trademark you give us to use.

You are responsible for how you use automations and AI output in your business, including compliance with the laws that govern your industry, your marketing, and your customer records.

8. Communications and consent

We email you about your read, your build, and your account. Every marketing email carries an unsubscribe link and our mailing address.

We do not text you unless you have given consent for text messages, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can request deletion of your account data at any time and we will delete it, keeping only records the law requires us to retain.

9. Liability

Illustrious is liable to you at most for the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, or indirect or consequential loss.

Third-party platforms and services we configure for you carry their own terms and their own uptime. Their outages are not ours.

10. Changes and notices

We may update these terms. Material changes are dated at the top of this page, and your founding rate is not changed retroactively.

Notices to us go to cris@illustriousconsulting.ai. Texas law governs these terms.
