By accessing our Website, submitting an inquiry, or entering into a service engagement with Local SEO USA, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must discontinue use of the Website and Services immediately.

3. Website Use and Acceptable Conduct

You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

• Use the Website in any manner that violates applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Website, our servers, or any connected systems;

We reserve the right to terminate access to the Website for any user who violates these Terms or engages in conduct we determine, in our sole discretion, to be harmful to the Website, our clients, or our business.

4. Services and Scope of Work

All Services provided by Local SEO USA are governed by a separate service agreement, proposal, or statement of work ("SOW") entered into between Local SEO USA and the Client. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a specific SOW or service agreement, the terms of the SOW or service agreement shall control with respect to the Services described therein.

Services will be performed in a professional and competent manner, in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees applicable to each engagement are set forth in the relevant SOW or proposal.

Any requests for services beyond the agreed scope of work will be treated as a change order and may result in additional fees. Change orders must be agreed upon in writing by both parties prior to execution.

5. No Guarantee of Results

Local SEO USA will apply professional expertise and industry best practices to all Services. However, we make no guarantee of specific rankings, traffic levels, conversion rates, revenue outcomes, or other performance metrics.

Search engine rankings are determined by third-party platforms, including Google, Bing, and others, whose algorithms are subject to frequent and unpredictable changes. Factors outside our control - including algorithm updates, competitor activity, website changes made by the Client, and market conditions - may affect SEO performance at any time.

Any projections, estimates, or expected outcomes communicated by Local SEO USA are provided in good faith based on available data and industry experience and do not constitute warranties or guarantees of future results.

6. Client Responsibilities

The Client agrees to provide accurate, complete, and timely information, materials, and access reasonably necessary for Local SEO USA to perform the Services, including but not limited to:

• Access to the Client's website, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Business Profile, as applicable;
• Timely review and approval of Deliverables as requested;
• Prompt notification of any changes to the Client's website, business information, service areas, or marketing strategy that may affect the Services;
• Compliance with all applicable laws governing the Client's business, website content, and online marketing activities.

Local SEO USA shall not be liable for any delays in performance or degradation in results arising from the Client's failure to fulfill these responsibilities.

7. Fees, Payment, and Billing

Fees for Services are set forth in the applicable SOW or proposal. Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• Monthly retainer fees are due and payable in advance at the beginning of each billing period;
• Invoices not paid within 10 days of the due date may be subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance;

• Local SEO USA reserves the right to suspend Services for accounts more than 15 days past due, without liability to the Client for any resulting performance impact.

Clients are responsible for all applicable taxes arising from the Services, except for taxes based on Local SEO USA's net income.

8. Intellectual Property

Website Content

All content on the Website, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Local SEO USA or its licensors and is protected by applicable U.S. and international intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any license or right to use our intellectual property without prior written permission.

Deliverables

Upon full payment of all applicable fees, and unless otherwise specified in the relevant SOW, Local SEO USA assigns to the Client ownership of the final Deliverables specifically created for the Client under a paid engagement. Local SEO USA retains ownership of all underlying methodologies, tools, templates, proprietary processes, and pre-existing intellectual property used in producing the Deliverables.

Client Materials

The Client grants Local SEO USA a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use Client-provided materials, logos, and content solely to the extent necessary to perform the Services.

9. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other party's Confidential Information strictly confidential and not to disclose it to any third party without prior written consent, except as required to perform the Services or as compelled by law.

This obligation does not apply to information that (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was already known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; or (c) is independently developed without use of Confidential Information.

Confidentiality obligations survive the termination of any service engagement for a period of two years.

10. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect for as long as you use the Website or engage with our Services. With respect to specific service engagements, the term, renewal conditions, and notice requirements for termination are set forth in the applicable SOW or service agreement.

Either party may terminate a service engagement:

• Upon written notice as specified in the applicable SOW;
• Immediately if the other party materially breaches any provision of these Terms or the applicable service agreement and fails to cure such breach within 14 calendar days of written notice;
• Immediately upon the other party's insolvency, bankruptcy, or cessation of business operations.

Upon termination, the Client shall remain liable for all fees earned through the effective date of termination. Local SEO USA will provide reasonable assistance in transitioning access and materials to the Client upon request.

14. Dispute Resolution

Good Faith Negotiation

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through good faith negotiation between senior representatives for a period of not less than 30 days following written notice of the dispute.

Arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation, it shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in New York, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to prevent irreparable harm.

Class Action Waiver

You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis only and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action.

Local SEO USA has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

17. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
