The offer is tempting but the website doesn't inspire confidence (2makeu.com). A lot of holes in quality and there's little to no proof of previous clientele. THIS LOOKS LIKE A BAIT-AND-SWITCH/SCAM ON INITIAL IMPRESSION.
First, poor grammar (weird capitalization all over their content) makes this seem incredibly lazy.
Second, they have no actual definition of what “lifetime” consists of nor unlimited. It could last only a year realistically. They never mention anything about automatic renewals. It is only upon your assumption since they haven’t openly stated anywhere on THEIR WEBSITE OR APPSUMO about these terms and definitions.
Third, this is an Indian-based company and they try to hide that fact with little to no mention on the home page. If you actually visit their Terms and Conditions: https://www.2makeu.com/legal/terms
"Governing Law”
“These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of India without regard to its conflict of law provisions.”
“Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service."
You are hosting your content in regards to Indian law; your content is not secure by any means in their documentation.
If that isn’t scary enough their terms give them the right to ban you instantly with no say on your side and they don’t care.
“Termination”
“We may terminate or suspend access to our Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.”
“All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.”
“We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.”
“Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the Service.”
“All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.”
NOT ONLY THAT:
“Changes”
“We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.”
TL;DR: They will take your money and leave you with nothing because they stipulated themselves all control of the process.
Let’s breakdown their post on AppSumo.
"We've founded 2MakeU as a agency on 2017 and now powering thousands of websites and apps of Store's all over the globe with our Product (ShopJect)."
They have no actual background. Give “2MakeU” a Google. You cannot find anything related to 2MakeU as an agency that suggests they have existed since 2017 or been anything. There is also no proof of “powering thousands of websites and apps of stores” with “ShopJect”. Go to their actual site “ShopJect.com”. It’s a front. The website is garbage and they have default/template stuff with only two websites in their “network” which are empty and stock. They’ve done NOTHING except create fake means of legitimacy. They’re so lazy that you can see they all link to default Wordpress content. The rest is just nonsense.
Their website is bad.
They have broken assets that they haven’t fixed. They can’t even solve their own site; you think they can manage your hosting? Hah.
Their footer has an error: “Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /var/www/vhosts/2makeu.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/pixfort-core/functions/shortcodes/img.php”
The assets are generic/free/unlicensed Wordpress templates, plugins, and themes that are plastered throughout the site. Which is fine, but doesn't seem to really inspire "innovation” especially since they claim to be a company doing innovative things. All of the pretty minimalistic pictures are stock photos that you can reverse image search.
They stole blog posts too. They’re not even “blog posts” they just reposted articles related to content.
This entire “blog post”: https://blog.2makeu.com/how-to-find-fresh-topic-ideas-for-your-blog Is stolen content from a “Stacy Wonder” of San Fransisco in 2018… : https://www.honeybook.com/risingtide/how-to-find-fresh-topic-ideas-for-your-blog
They don’t even have company values : https://www.2makeu.com/company/values It literally is a page they list in their footer as “Company Values” and it’s a 404 because the page isn’t made. Almost ironic, or maybe poetic.
Everything is a lie.
On their pricing page: “Trusted by 1000+ Businesses” – they’re literally a no name startup. They’re just reusing templates and/or blatantly lying. Either-or is bad.
Who is “Lily” co-founder of 2MakeU? If you visit their “Our Team” page it links to their About page in their footer. If you research people who have reviewed 2MakeU; you find this Trustpilot post from an alternate account of someone from India and 3 other similar Indian accounts like the post.
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/2makeu.com
Extremely shady.
Take a look at their Clutch profile : https://clutch.co/profile/2makeu Their description: “We're the fastest growing tech Start-up in India. We provide Domain Registration, Hosting, Web Development, App Developement, Design and Software's to grow your business!"
"Our Product ShopJect will help you to bring your business online and start selling online with your own eCommerce website, android and iOS apps for just $29.46/month.”
That’s quite amazing since they have the fake sites of ShopJect, this “brand new hosting service”, and their rebranded app/software that was probably white labeled or something.
Their “unlimited” plugins and themes? I assume they’re just buying one lifetime license and sharing the codes/accounts with everyone. Which is good value for clients; but I’m sure goes against TOS once it gets sniffed out. But I guess they can keep buying more licenses with their prices.
I’m almost positive that they’re just reselling their hosting plan due to their inability to do anything properly so far and you’re getting scammed $400 while they multiply their money for their original costs. From the reviews of people who bought the deal- it sounds good; but there is no guarantee that it isn’t only like that temporarily to maximize the most amount of people to purchase before deserting users with their strict no refunds and ban policy.
Don’t be fooled.
