3. About the Company and the Service
The Service is owned and operated by MadMik Media LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, with its registered business address at 75 E 3rd St, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States.
SEO Rater is an online tool that provides estimated ratings of the potential search engine optimization (“SEO”) value of backlinks, with a particular focus on homepage backlinks. Ratings are generated using the Company’s proprietary methodology, which aggregates and weighs metrics and signals that may be obtained from Third-Party Data Providers. The Service also includes educational content such as tutorials, guides, articles, and news-style posts relating to SEO and link building.
The Service is intended primarily for webmasters, marketers, SEO professionals, agencies, and businesses. It is designed for professional and business use, although individuals may also access the free features of the Service.
4. Eligibility
You may use the Service only if all of the following are true:
- You are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if that age is higher.
- You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
- You are not barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.
- You are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a country or territory that is subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and you are not identified on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
The Service is not directed to persons under eighteen (18) years of age. If we learn that a person under eighteen (18) has used the Service or provided personal information to us, we may restrict their access and delete any related information, as described in our Privacy Policy.
5. Access to the Service
5.1 No User Accounts
The Service does not require or offer user registration or user accounts. You may use the free features of the Tool without creating an account. Because there are no accounts, you are responsible for keeping your own records of any Ratings, reports, invoices, receipts, or communications that you wish to retain.
5.2 Access and Availability
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to access and use the Service for your own lawful internal business or personal purposes, subject to these Terms. We may restrict, limit, or suspend access to the Service or any part of it, for any user or for all users, at any time, with or without notice, including where necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance, or the prevention of abuse.
5.3 Usage Limits
We may apply limits on the number of queries, Ratings, or requests that may be made through the Service within a given period, whether per user, per IP address, per device, or otherwise. We may also use technical measures such as rate limiting, bot detection, or verification challenges to protect the Service. You must not attempt to circumvent any such limits or measures.
6. Nature of Ratings and Results
6.1 Ratings Are Estimates
All Ratings are estimates and opinions generated by an automated methodology. They are provided for informational purposes only. A Rating is not a measurement of actual search engine behavior, is not a statement of fact about any website, and is not a prediction, promise, or guarantee of any ranking, traffic, revenue, domain authority, or other outcome.
6.2 No Affiliation With Search Engines or Data Providers
Search engines, including Google, do not publish the full criteria they use to rank websites or to value links, and those criteria change frequently. The Company is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any search engine or by any Third-Party Data Provider. Any product names, company names, or trademarks of third parties that appear on the Website are used for identification and descriptive purposes only and remain the property of their respective owners.
6.3 Dependence on Third-Party Data
Ratings may depend on data obtained from Third-Party Data Providers. That data may be incomplete, outdated, estimated, inaccurate, or temporarily unavailable, and it may change without notice. The Company does not control and does not verify the accuracy of data obtained from Third-Party Data Providers. As a result, Ratings for the same URL may differ over time, and the Company may change its methodology, data sources, weighting, or scoring scale at any time without notice.
6.4 Your Responsibility for Decisions
You are solely responsible for any decision you make based on a Rating, including any decision to purchase, sell, price, negotiate, place, remove, or disavow a backlink, or to enter into any agreement with a third party. Ratings are not financial, investment, legal, or professional advice. You should use your own judgment and, where appropriate, consult qualified professionals before making business decisions.
6.5 Search Engine Guidelines
Some link-building practices, including buying or selling links that pass ranking signals, may violate the guidelines of search engines and may lead to penalties or loss of visibility. The Service does not approve, endorse, or facilitate any practice that violates search engine guidelines. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your link-building activities comply with the guidelines of any search engine and with Applicable Law, including rules on the disclosure of sponsored or paid content.
6.6 Ratings About Third-Party Websites
Ratings may relate to websites owned by third parties. A Rating is an automated estimate and does not reflect the Company’s opinion of the owner of any website, the quality of its products or services, or its business practices. If you are the owner of a website and believe that a Rating is based on clearly incorrect data, you may contact us at finance@seorater.net. We will review reasonable requests but are not obliged to change any Rating.
7. Free Features
The Tool is currently made available free of charge. The Company may, at its sole discretion, add, change, limit, or discontinue any free feature at any time. The availability of a feature free of charge does not create any obligation to continue providing it, or to provide it free of charge in the future. Free features are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, as described in Section 19.
8. Paid Services
8.1 Description of Paid Services
In addition to the free features, the Company may offer Paid Services. The scope, deliverables, price, timeline, and any specific conditions of each Paid Service will be described on the Website, in a written quote, in an invoice, on a Stripe checkout page or payment link, or in other written communication from the Company before you pay. Where the description of a specific Paid Service conflicts with these Terms, the specific description will apply to that Paid Service to the extent of the conflict, unless it would reduce any right that you have under mandatory Applicable Law.
8.2 Orders and Acceptance
An Order is formed when the Company confirms acceptance of your request, or when you complete payment through a payment method made available by the Company, whichever occurs first. The Company may decline any request or Order, at its sole discretion, including where it cannot perform the Paid Service, where the requested work would violate Applicable Law, search engine guidelines, or these Terms, or where it suspects fraud or misuse. If the Company declines an Order after you have paid, it will refund the amount received for that Order in full, less any amount already paid for work that you requested and that the Company actually performed, and subject to Section 9.6.
8.3 Your Obligations for Paid Services
When you purchase a Paid Service, you agree to provide accurate, complete, and timely information, instructions, and materials that the Company reasonably needs to perform the Paid Service. The Company is not responsible for delays, errors, or failures that result from inaccurate, incomplete, or late information provided by you, or from acts or omissions of third parties that are outside the Company’s control.
8.4 Prices and Currency
Unless stated otherwise in writing, all prices are stated and payable in United States dollars (USD). Prices are those shown at the time of your Order. The Company may change its prices at any time, but price changes will not affect any Order that has already been accepted. If a price is displayed in error, the Company may cancel the affected Order and refund any amount paid, or offer you the option to proceed at the correct price.
8.5 Taxes
Prices do not include taxes unless expressly stated. You are responsible for any sales, use, value added, goods and services, withholding, or similar taxes, duties, or charges that apply to your purchase under the laws of your jurisdiction, except for taxes on the Company’s net income. If you are required by law to withhold any tax from a payment, you must pay the Company an additional amount so that the Company receives the full amount it would have received without the withholding, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
8.6 Invoices and Receipts
The Company will provide an invoice, a receipt, or a payment confirmation for each payment it receives, either directly or through its payment processor. Please keep these documents for your records. Because the Service has no user accounts, you may request a copy of any invoice or receipt by writing to finance@seorater.net.
9. Payment Methods and Billing
9.1 Accepted Payment Methods
The Company accepts payment for Paid Services only through the following methods:
- Card and other payment methods processed through Stripe.
- ACH bank transfer.
- Wire transfer.
The Company does not accept payment through any other method unless it expressly agrees in writing. The Company will never ask you to send payment to a personal account or to change payment details through an unverified message. If you receive a request that appears to come from the Company and asks you to pay through a different method or to different bank details, do not pay, and contact us at finance@seorater.net to verify the request.
9.2 Payment Processing
Payments made through Stripe are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor, under Stripe’s own terms and privacy policy. The Company does not receive or store your full card number or card security code. The Company may receive limited payment information, such as your name, email address, billing address, the last four digits of your card, the card brand, and the transaction status, for the purposes of billing, record keeping, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. ACH and wire transfers are processed through the banking system and through the financial institutions involved in the transfer. More information is available on our Secure Payments page and in our Privacy Policy.
9.3 Timing of Payment
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment for a Paid Service is due in full before the Company begins work. For payments made by ACH or wire transfer, the Company may wait until the funds have been received and cleared in its account before beginning work. Any delivery timeline begins only after the payment has been received and cleared and all required information has been provided by you.
9.4 Payment References
When paying by ACH or wire transfer, you must include the invoice number or other payment reference provided by the Company. The Company is not responsible for delays in processing payments that are sent without the correct reference, to incorrect bank details, or in an incorrect amount.
9.5 Authorization
By submitting a payment, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the selected payment method and bank account, and you authorize the Company and its payment processor to charge or debit the full amount of the Order. You agree that the information you provide for payment is accurate and complete.
9.6 Transfer Fees and Currency Conversion
You are responsible for any fees charged by your own bank, card issuer, or intermediary banks, including wire transfer fees, intermediary bank fees, and currency conversion fees. If the amount received by the Company is less than the invoiced amount because of such fees, the Company may request payment of the difference before beginning or continuing work. Where the Company issues a refund, the refund will be made in USD, and the Company is not responsible for any differences in value caused by exchange rate changes or by fees charged by banks or card issuers.
9.7 Failed, Reversed, or Incomplete Payments
If a payment fails, is declined, is reversed, or is not received in full, the Company may suspend or cancel the related Order, withhold any deliverables, and request an alternative payment. The Company is not obliged to deliver any Paid Service for which it has not received full payment.
9.8 Fraud Prevention and Verification
To protect you and the Company, we may ask you to verify your identity, your authority to use a payment method, or other information related to a payment before we accept an Order or deliver a Paid Service. We may decline or cancel any transaction that we reasonably believe is fraudulent, unauthorized, or linked to prohibited activity, and we may report suspected fraud to payment processors, financial institutions, or law enforcement where permitted or required by Applicable Law.
10. Refunds and Cancellations
Refunds and cancellations for Paid Services are governed by our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms. The Refund Policy explains when a refund is available, how to request one, the time limits that apply, and how refunds are processed for each accepted payment method.
10.1 Right of Withdrawal for Consumers in the European Union and United Kingdom
If you are a Consumer located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from a contract for a Paid Service within fourteen (14) days from the date the contract is concluded, without giving any reason. Where you expressly request that the Company begins performing a Paid Service before the end of the withdrawal period, and you withdraw after performance has begun, you may be required to pay an amount proportionate to the part of the service already performed. Where the Paid Service has been fully performed within the withdrawal period with your prior express consent and your acknowledgement that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed, the right of withdrawal will no longer apply. Nothing in these Terms or in the Refund Policy limits any right of withdrawal that you have under mandatory Applicable Law.
10.2 Business Customers
If you purchase a Paid Service for purposes related to your trade, business, or profession, statutory consumer withdrawal rights generally do not apply, and your rights are those set out in these Terms and in the Refund Policy.
11. Payment Disputes and Chargebacks
11.1 Contact Us First
If you have a concern about a charge, a Paid Service, or a refund, please contact us first at finance@seorater.net and include your name, the email address used for the Order, the invoice or transaction reference, the payment date and amount, and a clear description of the issue. We aim to acknowledge billing inquiries within three (3) business days and to provide a resolution or a substantive response within ten (10) business days. Most billing issues can be resolved faster and more simply by contacting us directly than through a chargeback or payment dispute.
11.2 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
You retain any right you have under Applicable Law and under the rules of your card issuer or bank to dispute a charge. However, filing a chargeback or payment dispute for a charge that you authorized and for a Paid Service that was delivered in accordance with these Terms, without first contacting us, may be treated as a breach of these Terms.
If a chargeback or payment dispute is initiated, the Company may:
- Provide the payment processor, card issuer, or bank with relevant evidence, including Order details, invoices, communications, delivery records, and these Terms, to respond to the dispute.
- Suspend work on any related or pending Order until the dispute is resolved.
- Decline future Orders from you where a dispute is found to be unjustified or abusive.
- Seek recovery of amounts owed, including any dispute fees charged to the Company, where a dispute is resolved in the Company’s favor, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
11.3 Duplicate Refunds
If you receive a refund from the Company and also receive a reversal of the same payment through a chargeback or dispute, you agree to repay the duplicate amount to the Company promptly.
12. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not, and must not attempt to, or allow any third party to:
- Use the Service in any way that violates Applicable Law, including laws on data protection, consumer protection, unfair competition, advertising, intellectual property, or export controls.
- Use automated means, including bots, scripts, crawlers, spiders, or scrapers, to access the Service, submit queries, or extract Ratings or content, except as expressly permitted by the Company in writing.
- Exceed, bypass, or circumvent any rate limit, usage limit, verification challenge, or other technical measure used by the Company.
- Resell, sublicense, redistribute, publish in bulk, or commercially exploit Ratings or other output of the Service, or build a database, product, or service from them, except as expressly permitted by the Company in writing.
- Copy, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover the methodology, formulas, weighting, source code, or data sources underlying the Tool, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by Applicable Law.
- Use the Service or any Rating to build or train a competing product or service, or to train or improve any machine learning or artificial intelligence model, without the Company’s prior written consent.
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security, or performance of the Service, including by introducing malware or by overloading, flooding, or attacking the Service or its infrastructure.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, its servers, or any system or network connected to it.
- Submit User Input that is unlawful, infringing, malicious, misleading, or that you do not have the right to submit.
- Present a Rating as an official metric of any search engine or Third-Party Data Provider, or present a Rating as endorsed or verified by the Company.
- Use the Service or any Rating to mislead, deceive, or defraud others, including by misrepresenting the value of a backlink, website, or domain in any sale, negotiation, or advertisement.
- Alter, remove, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice on the Service.
- Impersonate the Company, its team members, or any other person, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
The Company may investigate any suspected violation of this Section and may take any action it considers appropriate, including restricting or blocking access, cancelling Orders, and cooperating with law enforcement authorities.
13. Permitted Use of Ratings
Subject to these Terms, you may use Ratings for your own internal purposes, and you may share individual Ratings on a limited, non-systematic basis with your clients, partners, or colleagues, provided that you do not alter them, you do not present them as official metrics of any third party, and you identify SEO Rater as the source where a Rating is published or shared. Any other use requires the Company’s prior written consent.
14. User Input
You are responsible for all User Input that you submit to the Service. You represent and warrant that you have the right to submit your User Input and that it does not violate Applicable Law or the rights of any third party. You should not submit personal information, confidential information, or sensitive information as User Input. URLs and domain names you submit are generally treated as public web addresses.
You grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, process, store, reproduce, and analyze User Input for the purposes of operating, maintaining, securing, and improving the Service, including generating Ratings, maintaining caches and aggregated statistics, and preventing abuse. To the extent that User Input includes personal information, the Company will process it in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
15. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, methodology, formulas, scoring scale, design, text, articles, tutorials, graphics, logos, trade names, and the selection and arrangement of its content, is owned by or licensed to the Company and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you in these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the Service is transferred to you, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Company.
“SEO Rater” and “MadMik Media”, together with any related names, logos, and marks, are trade names or marks of the Company. You may not use them without the Company’s prior written consent, except for accurate, non-misleading references to the Service.
Where a Paid Service includes a deliverable prepared specifically for you, any transfer or license of rights in that deliverable will be as stated in the description of that Paid Service. If no such statement is made, you receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the deliverable for your own internal business purposes once full payment has been received, and the Company retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, tools, templates, methodology, and know-how.
16. Feedback
If you send the Company suggestions, ideas, comments, or other feedback about the Service, you agree that the Company may use that feedback for any purpose without restriction and without any obligation to compensate you. The Company is not required to use any feedback.
17. Website Content, Articles, and Editorial Material
The Website contains articles, tutorials, guides, reviews, news-style posts, and other editorial content relating to SEO and to the Service. Unless expressly stated otherwise, such content is published by the Company and may have been written by the Company, its team members, contractors, or third-party contributors. Content that discusses or reviews SEO Rater is published on the Company’s own Website and should not be understood as an independent third-party review.
Editorial content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It may not reflect the latest developments in search engine behavior or SEO practice, it may contain errors, and it is not tailored to your specific circumstances. You should not rely on it as professional advice.
18. Third-Party Services and Links
The Service may contain links to websites, tools, or services operated by third parties, and may rely on Third-Party Data Providers, hosting providers, payment processors, and other service providers. The Company does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party website or service. Your use of any third-party website or service is at your own risk and is governed by that third party’s terms and policies. The inclusion of a link does not imply that the Company endorses the linked website or its operator.
19. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Service, including all Ratings, content, and Paid Services, is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. The Company expressly disclaims all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
Without limiting the above, the Company does not warrant that:
- Any Rating or content is accurate, complete, current, or reliable.
- The Service will meet your requirements or achieve any particular result, including any improvement in search rankings, traffic, or revenue.
- The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free of errors, viruses, or other harmful components.
- Data provided by Third-Party Data Providers will be available, accurate, or complete.
- Any error or defect in the Service will be corrected.
Where a Paid Service is purchased, the Company will perform it with reasonable skill and care, in accordance with its description. Additional disclaimers relating to the Service are set out in our Disclaimer, which forms part of these Terms.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and any warranty that cannot be excluded is limited to the minimum period and scope required by Applicable Law.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law:
- The Company, its members, managers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, search rankings, traffic, or opportunity, or for any search engine penalty, arising out of or relating to the Service, any Rating, or these Terms, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- The Company is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from any decision you make or action you take based on a Rating or on any content provided through the Service, including any purchase, sale, or placement of a backlink.
- The Company is not liable for any loss or damage caused by Third-Party Data Providers, payment processors, banks, hosting providers, or other third parties, or by events outside the Company’s reasonable control.
- The Company’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service and these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid to the Company for Paid Services during the twelve (12) months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
These limitations apply to all claims, whatever their legal basis, and apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. They form an essential part of the agreement between you and the Company, and the Company would not provide the Service, including its free features, without them.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Applicable Law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct where such exclusion is not permitted, or any liability to Consumers that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory consumer protection law.
21. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to:
- Your use or misuse of the Service or any Rating.
- Your User Input.
- Your breach of these Terms or of Applicable Law.
- Your violation of any right of a third party, including intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Any link-building, advertising, or business activity you carry out in reliance on the Service.
The Company may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with the Company. This Section does not require a Consumer to indemnify the Company where such an obligation is not permitted by mandatory consumer protection law.
22. Changes to and Availability of the Service
The Company may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, at any time, including by changing the Tool’s methodology, data sources, features, scoring scale, or usage limits. The Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation. If the Company permanently discontinues a Paid Service that you have paid for but that has not yet been delivered, the Company will refund the amount paid for the undelivered part of that Paid Service.
The Service may be temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, updates, technical failures, the unavailability of Third-Party Data Providers, or other reasons. The Company does not guarantee any minimum level of availability for the free features of the Service.
23. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. The Company may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, block your IP address or device, and cancel any pending Order, at any time and without liability, if the Company reasonably believes that you have breached these Terms, that your use of the Service creates legal, security, or reputational risk, that your use is fraudulent or abusive, or where required by Applicable Law or by a request from a competent authority.
If the Company terminates an Order for reasons other than your breach of these Terms, fraud, or abuse, it will refund any amount paid for the part of the Paid Service that has not been performed. If the Company terminates an Order because of your breach of these Terms, fraud, or abuse, refunds will be handled in accordance with the Refund Policy and Applicable Law.
The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including the provisions relating to payment obligations, refunds, chargebacks, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution.
24. Governing Law
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or to the Service, are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
If you are a Consumer located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose laws give you mandatory consumer protection rights, the choice of Wyoming law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence. You retain all rights that cannot be waived or limited by agreement under that law.
25. Dispute Resolution
25.1 Informal Resolution
Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact the Company at finance@seorater.net with a written description of the dispute, the relief you are seeking, and your contact details. The Company will do the same if it has a dispute with you. Both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days from the date the written notice is received. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
25.2 Jurisdiction and Venue
If a dispute is not resolved informally, it will be resolved exclusively by the state courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming, or the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming, and you and the Company consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction instead, where the claim qualifies.
If you are a Consumer located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of habitual residence, and the Company may bring proceedings against you only in the courts of your country of habitual residence, where required by mandatory Applicable Law.
25.3 Individual Claims
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. This Section does not apply where it is prohibited by mandatory Applicable Law.
25.4 Waiver of Jury Trial
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you and the Company waive any right to a trial by jury in any proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
25.5 Time Limit for Claims
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, otherwise the claim is permanently barred. This time limit does not apply to Consumers where a longer period is required by mandatory Applicable Law.
26. Export Controls and Sanctions
You must comply with all applicable export control and economic sanctions laws, including those administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the U.S. Department of Commerce. You must not use the Service, or purchase a Paid Service, if you are, or are acting on behalf of, a person or entity that is subject to sanctions, or if you are located in a country or territory that is subject to comprehensive sanctions. The Company may refuse, suspend, or cancel any Order and may withhold or reject any payment where required by sanctions or export control laws.
27. Privacy
The Company’s collection and use of personal information in connection with the Service is described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read those policies. Where the Company relies on consent to process personal information or to use certain cookies, it will request that consent separately as required by Applicable Law.
28. Electronic Communications
By using the Service or contacting the Company, you agree to receive communications from the Company electronically, including by email and through notices posted on the Website. You agree that all agreements, notices, invoices, receipts, and other communications that the Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Notices to the Company must be sent to finance@seorater.net and will be treated as received on the next business day after they are sent.
29. Force Majeure
The Company will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, sanctions, labor disputes, power or internet failures, cyberattacks, failures or changes of Third-Party Data Providers, payment processors, banks, or hosting providers, or changes in search engine systems. If such an event prevents the Company from delivering a Paid Service for more than thirty (30) days, either party may cancel the affected Order, and the Company will refund any amount paid for the part of the Paid Service that has not been performed.
30. Changes to These Terms
The Company may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the Service, to Applicable Law, or to its business practices. When it does, the Company will post the updated Terms on the Website and update the Effective Date above. If a change is material, the Company will take reasonable steps to notify affected customers, for example by a notice on the Website or by email where it holds a relevant email address.
Updated Terms take effect on the Effective Date shown, and your continued use of the Service after that date means that you accept the updated Terms. Updated Terms will not apply retroactively to any Order accepted before their Effective Date, unless you agree otherwise or the change is required by Applicable Law. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.
31. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the documents incorporated into them by reference and the description of any Paid Service you purchase, form the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements, understandings, or communications on the same subject.

In case of any conflict, the following order of precedence applies, unless mandatory Applicable Law requires otherwise: (a) a written agreement signed by both you and the Company; (b) the description of the specific Paid Service; (c) the Refund Policy, in relation to refunds; (d) these Terms; and (e) other policies published on the Website.
31.3 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
31.4 No Waiver
The Company’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing to be effective.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, provided that such assignment does not reduce any right you have under mandatory Applicable Law.
31.6 Relationship of the Parties
Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and the Company.
31.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
These Terms are for the benefit of you and the Company only. No other person has any right to enforce any of these Terms, except that the Company’s members, managers, employees, contractors, and agents may rely on the Sections on disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification.
