Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Sauga SEO Co website at https://seoservicesmississauga.ca and the search engine optimization services we provide. By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part, please do not use our website or services. Throughout this document, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Sauga SEO Co; "you" and "your" refer to the user or client. Questions? Contact info@seoservicesmississauga.ca.

2. Use of our website

Acceptable use. You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes. You will not transmit malware, attempt unauthorized access, conduct automated scraping without permission, or interfere with the proper functioning of the site.

Intellectual property. All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, images, and downloadable materials — is the property of Sauga SEO Co unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce, distribute, or modify any content without our prior written consent, though you may share links to our publicly available content.

Accuracy of information. We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and current, but SEO practices and search algorithms change frequently. Content is provided for general informational purposes and should not be the sole basis for business decisions.

Third-party links. Our website may link to external sites. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices; accessing them is at your own discretion.

3. Our SEO services

This section describes the general terms under which we provide SEO services. Specific project details, timelines, and deliverables are documented in individual service agreements.

No guaranteed rankings. We do not guarantee specific search engine rankings, including first-page or number-one positions. Search engines control their own algorithms, which change frequently. What we do guarantee: proven white-hat methods, full transparency through monthly reporting, and steady, measurable progress toward your goals.

White-hat methods only. We use only ethical, Google-compliant techniques. We do not employ black-hat tactics such as cloaking, keyword stuffing, private blog networks, link farms, automated link generation, or negative SEO. Clients independently engaging in black-hat practices that undermine our work may be subject to service termination.

Client responsibilities. Successful SEO requires collaboration. You agree to provide reasonable access to your website, Google Business Profile, Search Console, Analytics, and other necessary platforms, plus accurate information about your business and competitive landscape. Delays in access or information may impact timelines.

Approval and content. We may create or modify content as part of our services. For significant changes or new pages, we will seek your approval before publishing when specified in your agreement. Routine optimizations — meta tags, internal linking, structured data — may be performed as part of ongoing management.

4. Payments and billing

Monthly plans. All SEO plans are billed monthly in advance, due per your service agreement or invoice. We accept major credit cards, direct bank transfer, and other agreed methods.

No long-term contracts. All plans are month-to-month. There are no long-term commitments, lock-in periods, or early termination fees. You may cancel at any time — results keep our clients with us, not contracts.

Cancellation policy. Cancel any time by written notice via email to info@seoservicesmississauga.ca. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You keep access to all work delivered up to that date. No refunds are provided for partial months already billed.

Setup fees. We do not charge setup, onboarding, or hidden fees. The listed plan price is what you pay. Any new service outside the agreed scope will be discussed and approved before proceeding.

Late payments. Invoices not paid within the agreed timeframe may pause services until payment is received. We will communicate before any interruption. Continued non-payment may result in termination.

5. Reporting and communication

Every month, clients receive a plain-language report detailing work completed, keyword rankings, organic traffic, lead conversions where tracking is in place, and AI visibility metrics for applicable plans. Your dedicated SEO manager is your primary point of contact — you will know their name and how to reach them.

6. Confidentiality

We treat client information with strict confidentiality and will not share your business data, proprietary information, strategy details, or performance metrics with third parties except as necessary to deliver our services (for example, providing your website URL to a publisher for a legitimate backlink placement) or as required by law. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sauga SEO Co and its team members shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages arising from your use of our website or services, including loss of revenue, profits, or business opportunities, or damages from search algorithm changes. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to Sauga SEO Co during the six-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable Canadian law.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sauga SEO Co, its founder, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of our website or services, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third-party rights — except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend services if you breach these terms and the breach remains uncured after reasonable notice; in such cases you will be billed for all work completed up to the termination date. You may terminate at any time per the cancellation policy above. Upon termination, outstanding invoices become immediately due. Provisions that by their nature should survive — confidentiality, limitation of liability, intellectual property — will continue to apply.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted here with the "Last updated" date revised. For material changes, we may notify clients via email or a notice on our website. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction located in Mississauga, Ontario.

12. Entire agreement

These Terms of Service, together with any executed service agreement and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sauga SEO Co regarding the use of our website and services, superseding any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral.

13. Severability

If any provision is found unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
