Ranking For Roofers insists and highly recommends that all customers read and review the terms and conditions & privacy policy page before paying or ordering or receiving our products or/and services. Here on after Ranking For Roofers will also be known as RFR in an effort to remain consistent throughout the Terms and Policy section. RFR will provide Client with Search Engine Optimization Services (hereinafter referred to as "SEO") as described in this contract. RFR will use specific keywords and/or phrases to improve the search engine ranking of, and/or position the contents of the Client's website. All fees must be paid in full prior to the following month in order for work to continue. RFR has the right to stop working / postpone all optimization activity if there is any balance/amount owing. All projects are considered different therefore our techniques to rank a website on the 1st page in Google.com for the clients chosen keyword phrases are always different. Sometimes it’s as simple as on page optimization other times it might be off page SEO.
All RFR techniques and work is 100% confidential and under no circumstances can be revealed tin order to protect our services. Payment methods; Visa, Master Card, PayPal or Check. The client agrees to pay the price indicated on the invoice at the time of sale in full prior to the due date. Any payments or fees not paid after the due date (monthly) specified on the invoice can and may result in late fees of an annual rate of 21%. RFR can implement this at our discretion. Clients may not receive invoices as their account may be automatically debited every month. Amounts that exceed $1000 (one thousand dollars) and/or 90 days past due at the discretion of RFR can be submitted to a collection firm or in some specific cases can result in legal action. RFR reserves the right to alter our prices for our services without prior notice. The amount on the invoice may increase or decrease from contract to contract depending on high and low seasons and competitiveness of a geographical location and number of keyword phrases.
This is not including discounts. RFR reserve the right to create, pause, or cancel any discount a campaign or promotions in accordance with our products and services. Information about such changes is available upon request. Cancelling a contract before the term has expired is not prohibited. The client will be required to pay the full amount of the remaining months and/or will be subject to penalties; fees and legal action. This amount is based on the original package pricing NOT discounted, reduced or credited pricing. In conclusion if clients cancel prior to the end of the contract the client will be liable to pay for the total months remaining which will be calculated based on original package pricing NOT discounted, reduced or credited monthly pricing. In many cases RFR only charges/invoices the client once the client receives just 1 (one) keyword phrase (keyword phrases are specified in each of the client’s contract/proposal on the 1st page in Google.com (top 10). At which point the client agrees to start paying as stated on their contract.
The client's monthly agreement will start exactly from the moment the client gets onto the 1st page and starts paying for our services. The legal contract starts from the very second the contract is signed and work commences. Under no circumstances will the client be able to cancel his or her account. However, in a rare situation and an exception is made at the discretion of RFR and termination / cancellation is to be granted the client MUST give minimum 45 days written notice in writing or email of request to cancel and the client will receive a unique confirmation number from RFR that the client MUST keep. This confirmation number is imperative as it is needed to confirm your request to cancel earlier then your 12 months contract. Failure to provide request to cancel in writing will not be granted, authorized or honored. A possible applicable cancellation fee the equivalent of one (1) monthly payment be paid and no prior balance is owed to officially cancel a contract early RFR takes great responsibility in offering our clients a very unique and risk-free opportunity to achieve 1st page rankings. If the client is not under a contract / agreement or is under a contract we require a minimum of 45 day’s notice of a request to cancel in writing or email. In the case the client does not follow through on the agreement the client will be held responsible for the complete 12-month agreement plus the time occupied from the very beginning as well as late and penalty fees and possible legal fees.
Therefore, it is imperative that RFR enforces the law - the legal binding contract and ensures all its clients hold their end of the agreement and pay for services rendered. By doing so it allows RFR the opportunity and recourses to help its clients prosper and grow their business. Clients who alter their website without consulting us in anyway in writing void all our guarantees set by our company within the contract. Additionally, any client who has not paid the previous months amount also voids any and all guarantees set by our company within the contract. In many cases clients will only be required to start their monthly payments from the time at least 1 of their keyword phrases (which is outlined in their contract) is found on the 1st page in Google.com. If there is any discrepancy, we will use 2 software's to indicate the actual rankings. Firefox's Ranking Checker Add-on Pro Rank Tracker and awrcloud.com to name a few. The ranking results from this two software’s will be the deciding vote on the keyword phrases accurate position. 1st Page rankings can either be Organic or within the Google Business map section or both. Our services do not include paid ads (PPC). Once client is on the 1st page (top 10), the client is required to submit a credit card and start their monthly payments instantly. RFR SEO services are intended to serve two main purposes: 1) to provide the Client with increased exposure in search engines dominantly "Google.ca" and/or Google.com, and 2) to drive targeted online traffic to the site. For the purposes of receiving professional SEO services, Client agrees to provide the following: Administrative/backend access to the website for analysis of content and structure. Permission to make changes for the purpose of optimization, and to communicate directly with any third parties, e.g., your web designer, if necessary. Unlimited access to existing website traffic statistics for analysis and tracking purposes. Authorization to use client pictures, logos, trademarks, website images, pamphlets, content, etc., for any use as deemed necessary by RFR for search engine optimization purposes.
If the Client's site is lacking in textual content, the Client will provide additional text content in electronic format for the purpose of creating additional or richer web pages. RFR can create site content at additional cost to the Client. RFR will not be held responsible for any negative effect which can or may occur to the client's website. By the client giving RFR access to their website and other platforms such as social media sites or web hosting the client understands RFR and its employees cannot be held responsible and the responsibility is solely on the client. If the Client is interested in purchasing content from RFR, please contact RFR for a cost estimate. SEO is not a service that can stop or pause at will. Therefor if we do not receive a written request to cancel, we will assume to renew the contract month to month. This is to avoid having your site penalized, lose rankings or worse banned from the Search Engines. Client must acknowledge the following with respect to SEO services: All fees are non-refundable. All fees, services, documents, recommendations, and reports are confidential. RFR has no control over the policies of search engines with respect to the type of sites and/or content that they accept now or in the future. The Client's website may be excluded from any directory or search engine at any time at the sole discretion of the search engine or directory.
In conclusion under no circumstances can RFR; its owners or its employees be held responsible for any negative effect towards the Clients website, Social Media Sites, Employees, Owners etc. By hiring RFR (Signing the contract and/or paying an invoice) the client indicates it will never take any legal or additional actions against RFR. Additionally, the client must understand Google and other Search Engines has been known to hinder the rankings of new websites (or pages) until they have proven their viability to exist for more than a certain amount of time. This is referred to as the "Google Sandbox." RFR assumes no liability for ranking/traffic/indexing issues related to Google Sandbox penalties. Occasionally, search engines will drop listings for no apparent or predictable reason. Often, the listing will reappear without any additional SEO. Linking to "bad neighborhoods" or getting links from "link farms" can seriously damage all SEO efforts. RFR does not assume liability for the Client's choice to link to or obtain a link from any particular website without prior consultation. RFR is not responsible for any drop or lack of new or old clients or business growth or lack of growth or income or lack of income.
As for drop in rankings, the client needs to let us know prior to the next month as rankings do change from month to month. As well as the reports are not 100% accurate therefore bringing a drop in rankings to our attention is vital so we can live check the Google results and if necessary, stop payment. This is very important because this has to be made prior to a monthly payment, as we stated in our terms and policies “All fees are non-refundable” once a payment is made. If it was within a 12 month contract the account would not be able to close and would have to remain open until which time, we/pause regain rankings and continue the remaining paid months as stated in the contract (we continue from where we left off). If we are past the 12 months or not under contract (month to month) this does not apply as the client is not under contract or obligated to pay past that month for services and can choose to pay or not to keep their service. If the client is close to the 1st page and they are not under the original 12-month contract they typically would not want us to stop work. This is valid within the 12 months only because again the client can simply stop SEO if they are not pleased with the results. By hiring RFR the client is taking full responsibility for the growth of their business. RFR is not responsible for any drop in business growth.
RFR should be used as an extra form to try and generate new clients but in no way should be the clients only form of marketing. RFR cannot make any guarantees on potential growth as we only focus on ranking a website on the 1st page in Google. There are many factors of why a website will not generate new clients which RFR will not be responsible for. RFR is not responsible for changes made to the website by other parties or the client that adversely affect the search engine rankings of the Client's website. Our SEO packages do not include PPC (Pay-Per-Click). Some packages don't include Local SEO, please inform us if this is something you'd like to include. Search engines like Google may hinder the rankings of new websites until they have proved their ability to exist for more than 'x' amount of time or have enough back link strength. It is also extremely common to observe a wave effect with your ranking position during the time of optimization. As your domain ages and we continue to build consistent back links this wave effect will become less and less noticeable. Furthermore, new website may get temporary boost in ranking for some targeted keywords for few days but then it settles down to its real place. This is known as 'new site boost effect' and it is quite common to happen. RFR, its employees and owners cannot be held responsible for the effects of Google. Such as temporary or permanent penalization, banning, de-indexing, loose of traffic or/and revenue. Links to Other Sites. Sites listed as links herein are not under the control of RFR hence; RFR makes no representations whatsoever in relation to the content of those sites. Employing RFR is at the doing and knowledge of the client. And the client agrees to take full responsibility. No guarantee/warranty of project timeliness, added expenses and end results if SEO work is destroyed either wholly or in parts, either knowingly or unknowingly by any party other than RFR or without the prior consultation/knowledge of RFR. SEO work is considered to be destroyed if following changes are made to the website without first consulting RFR: Renaming, re-locating, adding or removing any file, folder or sub domain on a web server including web documents, meta tags, title tags, robots.txt, .htacess file, sitemap.xml, rss.xml etc. Making any changes to an optimized web page (Meta tags or content).

No guarantee/warranty of project timeliness, additional expenses and end results if: There is a server outage for prolonged time. Client fails to resolve SEO queries on time or make delays in providing required access, documents, permission or any support for SEO purpose. Client fails to make necessary changes on the website as and when advised by RFR. Client refuses to educate himself about SEO In the rare case of any disputes or disagreements, Client agrees not to attack/criticize RFR and any of its employees, associates or partners publicly (on public forums, blogs, social networks etc) at any time during or subsequent to contract period. Similarly client agrees not to seek for SEO advice on SEO forums, blogs, community groups or any social media in a way, which brings bad name to the company or any of its employee, associate or partner. Additionally email, chat logs or other means of written communication between RFR and the client will be used to differentiate the truth in the case of a dispute and must be kept private.
