Terms & Conditions

Last updated 25 Oct 2026

About these terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of https://www.searchaheadseo.com (the "Site") and to any services provided by SearchAheadSEO, a [Legal entity type] with its address at [Registered business address], India ("we", "us", "our"). "You" or "the client" means the person or business using the Site or hiring us.

By using the Site or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or our services.

Scope of services

We provide:

  • Search engine optimisation, including technical, on-page and local SEO
  • SEO content and copywriting
  • Google Ads and Meta Ads management
  • White-hat backlink outreach
  • Video and reel ad scriptwriting

We only provide the services described in your proposal or statement of work. Anything outside that scope will be quoted separately.

Proposals and statements of work

Each engagement is set out in a written proposal or statement of work ("SOW"). It describes the deliverables, timelines, fees and any project-specific terms.

Sending an enquiry does not create a contract. A contract begins when you accept a proposal or SOW in writing (including by email) or pay our first invoice. If an SOW conflicts with these Terms, the SOW applies to that project.

Client responsibilities

To help us deliver good work, you agree to:

  • Give us timely access to your website, CMS, analytics, Search Console, ad accounts and other tools we reasonably need
  • Review and approve drafts, keywords, ad copy and campaigns within a reasonable time
  • Provide accurate, lawful and complete information about your business, products and offers
  • Make sure you have the rights to any content, logos or materials you give us
  • Pay all advertising spend directly to the platforms (such as Google or Meta) using your own payment method

We are not responsible for delays caused by late access, feedback or approvals.

Payment terms

  • Monthly retainers are billed in advance at the start of each billing month.
  • Standalone projects require a 50% deposit before work begins. The balance is due on delivery.
  • Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice. Applicable taxes, such as GST, are added where required.
  • If a payment is late, we may pause work until it is received. Paused time does not extend any deadline we owe you.

Our management fees are separate from your ad spend. We do not hold or pay ad spend on your behalf unless agreed in writing.

Refunds

Refunds and cancellations are governed by our Refund Policy. Please read it before you pay.

Intellectual property

Once we receive full payment, ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for you (such as content, ad copy, scripts and reports) transfers to you.

We keep ownership of our own tools, templates, processes, know-how and methods, including anything we created before or outside your project.

We will only show your work, name or results in our portfolio or case studies with your permission, and never information you have told us is confidential.

All content on the Site belongs to SearchAheadSEO or is used with permission. You may not copy, republish or sell it without our written consent.

No guaranteed results

Search rankings, traffic, leads and ad performance depend on many factors outside our control, including search engine algorithms, ad platform policies, competition and your own website. We do not guarantee any specific ranking, position, traffic level, cost per lead or return on ad spend. Any forecasts we share are estimates, not promises. See our Disclaimer for more.

Confidentiality

Both of us agree to keep the other's non-public business information confidential and to use it only for the engagement. This does not apply to information that is already public, independently developed or required to be disclosed by law. This duty continues after the engagement ends.

Limitation of liability

To the extent allowed by law:

  • We are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, including loss of profits, revenue, rankings, data or business opportunities.
  • We are not responsible for actions taken by search engines or ad platforms, such as algorithm updates, penalties, ad disapprovals or account suspensions.
  • Our total liability for any claim relating to our services is limited to the fees you paid us in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law.

Using the Site responsibly

You agree not to submit false information, send spam or harmful content through our forms, try to disrupt or hack the Site, scrape it without permission, or use it for anything unlawful under Indian law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Termination

Either party may end a monthly retainer by giving 30 days' written notice to the other. Notice to us should be sent to searchaheadseo@gmail.com. The notice period is billable as described in our Refund Policy.

We may end an engagement immediately if you seriously breach these Terms, including non-payment. On termination, you must pay for all work done and fees due up to the end date.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "updated" date at the top shows when they last changed. Changes do not affect a signed SOW without both parties' agreement.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at [Jurisdiction city], India. Before going to court, we encourage you to contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally.
