Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of seoripple.com and any SEO retainer, project, or audit you engage seoripple to perform. By using this website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. Specific engagements are additionally governed by the written proposal or agreement we provide before work begins; where the two conflict, the signed proposal controls.

seoripple provides search engine optimization consulting and execution services across six disciplines — Technical SEO, Local SEO, Content Marketing, Link Building & Digital PR, E-Commerce SEO, and International & Multilingual SEO — delivered as monthly retainers or scoped one-time projects (such as a standalone technical audit), as agreed in writing for each engagement. This is a professional services engagement; we do not operate an online store or checkout on this site, and no goods are sold here.

Every engagement begins with a written, scoped proposal stating the discipline(s), deliverables, timeline, and price. Work begins only once both parties have agreed to the proposal. Changes to scope (for example, adding a location, market, or discipline) are agreed in writing and priced separately or as a revision to the existing retainer.

• Monthly retainers are invoiced in advance for the coming month and are due within 14 days of invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• One-time projects (such as a standalone technical SEO audit) are invoiced per the schedule stated in the proposal — typically 50% on commencement and 50% on delivery, unless otherwise agreed.
• Prices published on this website (“from €X”) are indicative starting anchors for the smallest realistic scope of that service; your actual price is confirmed in the written proposal before work begins.
• Late payment may result in a pause of active work until the account is brought current.

Search engine rankings are determined by third parties (principally Google) whose algorithms we do not control and which change without notice. We do not, and cannot honestly, guarantee specific rankings, traffic volumes, or revenue outcomes. What we do commit to is the process described on our Process page: a defined audit, a written scope, execution against that scope, and monthly reporting on what changed and why.

To do the work described in a proposal, we typically need timely access to analytics, Search Console (or equivalent), your Google Business Profile (for Local SEO), your content management system, or your development team, as relevant to the engagement. Delays in providing access or approvals may delay deliverables and reporting timelines accordingly.

Deliverables created specifically for you under a paid engagement (such as content, technical specifications, or audit reports) become your property once paid in full. seoripple retains the right to use anonymized, non-identifying descriptions of the type of work performed for general marketing purposes (for example, describing a “regional trades client’s” engagement without naming the business), unless you request otherwise in writing.

Some services depend on third-party platforms we do not control — Google Search, Google Business Profile, Google Analytics, your e-commerce platform (Shopify, Shopware, WooCommerce, etc.), or your CMS. Changes those platforms make to their algorithms, policies, or features are outside our control and are not a breach of these terms.

Monthly retainers continue until either party gives 30 days’ written notice to end them, per our Refund & Cancellation Policy. One-time projects conclude on delivery of the agreed deliverables. Either party may terminate immediately for material breach that is not remedied within 14 days of written notice.

To the extent permitted by German law, seoripple’s liability for any claim arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim in the three months preceding the claim, except in cases of intent or gross negligence, or where liability arises from injury to life, body, or health, in which case statutory liability applies without limitation.

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business information shared in the course of an engagement (analytics data, business strategy, unpublished content, etc.) and to use it only for the purposes of the engagement.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Where legally permissible, the courts of Augsburg, Bavaria, have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms or an engagement.

We may update these terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date reflects the latest version. For an active engagement, the terms in force at the time the proposal was signed continue to apply for that engagement unless we agree a change in writing.
