Terms of Service

1. Agreement & B2B Nature

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and AI Search Websites. Our services are intended primarily for businesses and professional clients. By accessing the website, running a Free Brand Summary, using the Digital Growth Advisor, purchasing a digital product, clicking checkout (including Stripe or WhatsApp), or engaging studio services, you confirm you have authority to bind your organisation and accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy electronically. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law.

2. Services Covered

AI Search Websites provides digital visibility consultancy including, without limitation:

• Free Brand Summary (automated URL scan — complimentary Digital Authority Assessment on your homepage)
• Digital Growth Advisor (on-site consultative chat — guidance only; see Privacy for message and profile handling)
• AI Search Blueprint™ (paid diagnostic roadmap)
• Build My Brand — AI Brand Entity Foundation Plans
• Brand Entity Plan (studio planning and operational playbook)
• Visibility Rebuild, Authority Rebuild, Enterprise Presence, and Brand Entity Setup
• Authority, Visibility, and Growth Domination retainers
• Backlink campaigns, press and authority packages, paid ads management, and social media management
• On-site AI assistant configuration (where included in rebuild tiers)

Service descriptions and pricing on individual pages are indicative until confirmed in writing (email, WhatsApp confirmation, invoice, or signed Client Services Agreement for studio engagements).

3. No Guarantees

We do not guarantee specific search rankings, organic traffic levels, revenue, lead volume, AI citations, featured snippets, ad return on ad spend (ROAS), press publication by named outlets, permanent backlink placement, or any particular business outcome. Search engines, advertising platforms, and AI systems change continuously. Results vary by industry, competition, starting position, and client implementation. See Disclaimers for product-specific limitations.

4. Client Responsibilities

You agree to: provide accurate business information; supply assets and platform access promptly; ensure you have rights to all content you provide; comply with applicable laws and third-party platform terms (Google, Meta, etc.); implement recommendations in good faith where self-implementing; and not request black-hat, deceptive, or unlawful tactics.

5. Prohibited Use & Termination

We may refuse service or terminate immediately without refund if you: engage in abusive, threatening, or harassing conduct; request illegal or unethical SEO/link practices; provide infringing content; file a payment dispute or chargeback without first contacting us at oliver@aisearchwebsites.com to resolve in good faith; misrepresent your identity or authority; or operate in industries we reasonably deem high-risk or incompatible with our standards.

You may not: scrape, crawl, or bulk-download our website, scan tools, APIs, or deliverables except through the Free Brand Summary for your own business URL; reverse-engineer, decompile, or clone our methodologies, scoring rubrics, report templates, or user interface to operate a competing audit or “free SEO score” product; remove or alter proprietary notices; imply endorsement, partnership, or “powered by” affiliation with AI Search Websites without written consent; resell, sublicense, or publicly republish paid deliverables as your own product; impersonate Oliver Mayerhoffer or the studio; or attempt to disrupt our systems (including automated abuse, credential stuffing, or adversarial prompts against our tools).

6. Payment, Stripe & Scope

Prices are shown in GBP (£) by default on this website; USD ($) is available via the site currency toggle. Prices are exclusive of VAT where applicable unless stated otherwise.

Card payments. When you pay by card, checkout is processed by Stripe, Inc. (or its affiliates). AI Search Websites does not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Stripe collects and processes card data under its own terms and privacy policy. By completing checkout, you authorise the charge shown for the product selected (for example AI Search Blueprint™). Failed or declined payments do not unlock paid deliverables. Digital products are delivered electronically — typically by unlocking your Success Plan on the scan results page and/or email — once payment is confirmed.

We may also accept bank transfer or WhatsApp-confirmed invoice for studio engagements. Studio work may require deposits and milestone payments. Work outside agreed scope requires a written change order and additional fees. Late payment may pause delivery. Ad spend, third-party software, and stock assets are excluded unless explicitly included.

Chargebacks. If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact oliver@aisearchwebsites.com before initiating a bank or card dispute. Chargebacks filed after delivery of the agreed digital or studio scope may be treated as prohibited use under these Terms.

6a. UK Consumer Rights

Where you are a UK consumer purchasing digital services at a distance, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 may apply. You may have a 14-day cancellation right for digital content unless you request immediate delivery and acknowledge that you may lose the right to cancel once delivery begins. Nothing in these Terms affects mandatory rights that cannot be excluded by contract. See our Refunds & Cancellations Policy.

7. Refunds & Cancellations

Refund and cancellation rules vary by product. See our Refunds & Cancellations Policy. Digital products may become non-refundable once delivered. Studio deposits are typically non-refundable once kickoff or phase work has begun.

8. Intellectual Property, Trademarks & Licence

The website, tools, methodologies, frameworks, report layouts, scan user experience, copy, graphics, logos, and deliverable templates are owned by AI Search Websites and Oliver Mayerhoffer or our licensors. Protected names and marks include, without limitation: AI Search Websites, Digital Presence Architects, Free Brand Summary, AI Search Blueprint™, Digital Authority Framework™, Digital Authority Assessment, and related product names. Use of ™ indicates our claim to those marks; we do not represent that every mark is registered in every jurisdiction unless we state otherwise in writing.

Upon full payment for agreed deliverables, you receive the rights needed to use those deliverables for your business, unless otherwise stated in your agreement. We retain ownership of our pre-existing methodologies, frameworks, rubrics, and tools. You may not copy, clone, or create derivative competing products from our complimentary assessment, scan output, or paid Success Plan except for your own internal business use of deliverables you have paid for. You warrant that materials you supply do not infringe third-party rights. Unless you object in writing before publication, we may showcase non-confidential completed work in portfolios and case studies.

9. Confidentiality

Each party will treat non-public business information received from the other as confidential, except where disclosure is required by law or the information is already public through no fault of the receiving party.

10. AI & Automated Tools

Free Brand Summary scores, complimentary Digital Authority Assessment output, AI Search Blueprint™ deliverables, Build My Brand plans, Digital Growth Advisor responses, and similar automated outputs are directional guidance — not legal, financial, or professional advice. Assessments are generated using our Digital Authority Framework™: recognised practices in website architecture, accessibility, search visibility, and AI-readiness, translated into business guidance. You are responsible for decisions made from such outputs. We do not warrant that AI-generated content is error-free or complete. How we process scan and chat data is described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Third-Party Platforms

We are not liable for actions of Google, Meta, hosting providers, payment processors, publishers, directories, or other third parties — including account suspensions, algorithm updates, indexing changes, ad disapprovals, or service outages. You remain responsible for your accounts and compliance with their terms.

12. Backlinks & Press

Backlink campaigns follow white-hat placement standards. Replacement of removed links is offered only as stated on the relevant service page and subject to publisher availability — not as a guarantee of permanence or ranking impact. Press distribution does not guarantee editorial pickup, syndication, or retention by third-party outlets.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AI Search Websites shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, special, or lost-profit damages. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to a specific service is limited to the fees you paid for that service in the twelve months before the claim arose.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AI Search Websites and Oliver Mayerhoffer against claims arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, unlawful use of our services, or your violation of third-party rights or platform policies.

15. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond reasonable control (including platform outages, natural events, or regulatory changes), provided reasonable notice is given where practicable.

16. Disputes & Governing Law

Parties will attempt good-faith resolution before formal proceedings. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence where applicable.

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website or services after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes to active studio engagements are communicated directly where practicable.
