  12. Disclaimer
    12.1 Part of the search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Alta Vista, AOL and Ask) approach to ranking your website is to appraise the inbound links (hyperlinks) that point to your site from other web pages. The search engines prefer a profile of links that they consider ‘natural’, i.e. not artificially influenced. The Services we will offer you may include link building/acquisition and some of these links may require payment to be made for placement, which will artificially influence the profile of your inbound links. If you have agreed to such Services, as outlined in the Proposal, under no circumstances will we be responsible for any such activity being identified by the search engines and then negatively affecting the keyword rankings of your website, your traffic or the enquires or conversions you gain through your website, this includes receiving an ‘unnatural links’ notice or penalty from Google (either algorithmic or manual);
    12.2 We cannot be held responsible for gains in your keyword positions being eroded once our work has stopped;
    12.3 We cannot guarantee keyword rankings. All ranking predictions (if given) are merely estimates and we cannot be held responsible if keyword rankings are not achieved;
    12.4 The search engines do not disclose the details of how they determine a website’s keyword rankings. Therefore the methodology of our Services is based on experience, the application of agreed standard practice, innovation, insight and common sense. Our approach may differ from other suppliers. We are always open to be challenged on our strategy but in many cases will not be able to give proof of why a particular strategy is valid;
    12.5 The search engines use algorithms to help determine your keyword rankings. Because these algorithms regularly change, we cannot be held responsible for any reduction in rankings due to a change, development or adaptation to any search engine algorithm, that then devalues or penalises any particular strategy we have applied as part of the Services;
    12.6 Different search engines have different algorithms and therefore results may differ from one engine to the next. We cannot be held responsible for any differences across the search engines;
    12.7 We do not take any responsibility or liability for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by you. We reserve the right to refuse to use any material of a copyrighted nature unless adequate proof is given of permission to use such material and if we, without previous knowledge of its copyright, use this material on your behalf, under your instruction, you will indemnify us against any liability in relation to the use of the material and you will be liable for any damages and legal fees incurred due to the copyright infringement;
    12.8 Part of the Services includes the online distribution of press releases. Once agreed by you and distributed, these press releases will be within the public domain and may be copied, commented on, written about, syndicated and distributed to any other public media, on or offline, by third parties. We cannot take responsibility or liability for the misuse or any misrepresentation that may occur because of the distribution of these press releases.


  13. Applicable Law
    13.1 These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts in respect of any dispute or matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement
