This has a very straightforward and straight-to-the-point proposition: Forms for your website for $15/year. No pricing page, just a single, simple offer. I much prefer this [with priced addons when you have them] than the usual multi-offer pages where much time [I assume] is spent trying to make a decision on which one is the right offer.

Also, it might be helpful to have a video showing how to set it up as the source code screenshot seems overly targeted to developers.

Finally, your page still says 2017... It may make sense to use a script like this instead:

<p>Copyright &copy; 2017 — <script type="text/javascript">var dt = new Date(); var d = dt.getFullYear(); document.write(d);</script> Nivel Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved.</p>

This way, you don't have to keep manually updating your web pages once a year.

Don’t do this. The copyright year is not there to show people the current year. What would the point of that be? Everybody knows what year it is.

The copyright year is to show you when the work was created. If you automatically set it to the current year, you are essentially lying to add more years onto the copyright term than you are supposed to get by law. Using the wrong year renders the copyright notice invalid in the USA. It’s still copyrighted, but the notice is worthless.

Also “All rights reserved” is legally meaningless everywhere. Every country that signed the treaty that gave it meaning has since signed a later treaty that superseded it.

I would also say there's barely any point adding the date at all anymore in most computing cases. In the very unlikely event that you need to prove the date in court you're probably going to be relying on archive.org and git logs anyway, and nobody is going to claim that it's over 75 years old or whatever.
