By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Refund Policy (collectively, the "Agreement"). If you do not agree to all of these terms and policies, you must not access or use the Service.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time in accordance with Section 21 below. Your continued use of the Service following any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

  • You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction of residence.
  • If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, company, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" and "your" shall refer to that entity.
  • You must not have been previously suspended, terminated, or banned from using the Service.
  • You must not be located in or a resident of any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions programs that would prohibit your use of the Service.

3. Account Registration

  • Credential security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password. You must not share your login credentials with any third party.

  • One account per person. Each individual may maintain only one account. Creating multiple accounts for the purpose of evading plan limits, circumventing restrictions, or abusing promotional offers is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts.
  • Workspace membership. The Service supports multi-tenant workspaces with role-based access control. If you are invited to a workspace by another User, your access and permissions within that workspace are determined by the workspace owner or administrator. You remain bound by these Terms regardless of your role within any workspace.

The Service is provided on a subscription basis and is subject to the plan limitations described in Section 5.

  • No further charges will be applied after your current billing period ends.
  • Any articles currently in generation or scheduled for publishing may be completed at our discretion but are not guaranteed after cancellation.

6.2 No Refunds

For complete details, please refer to our separate Refund Policy.

6.3 Account Closure & Data Deletion

If you close your account or allow your subscription to expire without renewal, we will retain your data for a period of thirty (30) days following account closure to allow for potential reactivation. After this retention period, all data associated with your account — including generated articles, keyword research data, brand profiles, quality reports, and stored CMS credentials — will be permanently and irreversibly deleted from our systems. You are responsible for exporting any data you wish to retain prior to account closure.

7. User Content & Intellectual Property

7.1 Your Content

You retain all ownership rights to the content, data, and materials you provide to the Service, including but not limited to your website content, brand information, images, logos, and any other materials you upload, submit, or make available through the Service (collectively, "Your Content").

7.2 AI-Generated Content Ownership

You own all AI-generated content created through the Service on your behalf. All articles, blog posts, meta descriptions, titles, FAQ answers, content briefs, and any other content produced by the Service's AI pipeline for your account (collectively, "Generated Content") are your property. We make no claim of ownership over Generated Content. Upon generation, full rights transfer to you, and you are free to use, modify, distribute, publish, and commercialize the Generated Content without restriction.

7.3 License Grant to Rankrize

By using the Service, you grant Rankrize a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to access, process, store, reproduce, and display Your Content and Generated Content solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service. This license includes the right to:

  • Crawl and analyze your website content to build brand profiles and contextual understanding.
  • Pass Your Content to third-party AI models (such as Google Gemini and OpenAI) for the purpose of content generation.
  • Store and display Generated Content within the Service interface for your review and management.
  • Publish Generated Content to your connected CMS platforms at your direction.

This license terminates when you delete the relevant content or close your account, subject to our data retention periods described in Section 6.3 and our Privacy Policy.

7.4 Rankrize Intellectual Property

The Service — including but not limited to the Rankrize platform, website, software, algorithms, AI models and model configurations, prompt engineering systems, user interface designs, documentation, trade names, trademarks, logos, and all other proprietary technology and materials — is and shall remain the exclusive property of Rankrize and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service itself beyond the limited right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

7.5 Anonymized and Aggregated Data

We may create anonymized, de-identified, or aggregated data derived from Your Content, Generated Content, or your use of the Service in a manner that does not identify you or any individual. We may use such anonymized or aggregated data for any lawful purpose, including service improvement, benchmarking, research, and analytics, without restriction or obligation to you.

8. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

You acknowledge and agree to the following regarding content generated by the Service:

  • AI limitations. All Generated Content is produced by artificial intelligence systems, including large language models provided by Google (Gemini) and OpenAI. AI-generated content may contain factual errors, inaccuracies, outdated information, hallucinations, biases, or omissions. The Service does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for purpose of any Generated Content.
  • User review responsibility. You are solely responsible for reviewing, fact-checking, editing, and approving all Generated Content before it is published to your website or distributed in any manner. Publishing unreviewed AI-generated content is done entirely at your own risk.
  • No guarantee of results. Rankrize does not guarantee any specific SEO rankings, search engine indexation, organic traffic increases, conversion rates, revenue improvements, or any other business outcomes as a result of using the Service. Search engine algorithms are controlled by third parties and are subject to change without notice.
  • Not professional advice. Generated Content does not constitute and should not be relied upon as legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional counsel. If your website operates in a regulated industry (e.g., healthcare, finance, law), you must ensure all published content is reviewed by qualified professionals before publication.
  • Legal compliance. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all Generated Content published on your website complies with all applicable laws, regulations, industry standards, and third-party rights, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, defamation, consumer protection, advertising standards, and data protection laws in your jurisdiction.
  • Content moderation. While our quality scoring system evaluates Generated Content against rubrics covering accuracy, topical depth, readability, and SEO correctness, this automated assessment is not a substitute for human editorial review. Quality scores are indicative, not definitive.

9. Website Crawling & Data Access

9.1 Crawling Permission

By connecting a website to the Service, you grant Rankrize explicit permission to crawl, access, and analyze the publicly accessible content of that website. Our crawler will access your website's pages, sitemaps, metadata, and content to build brand understanding, identify internal linking opportunities, and inform content generation.

9.2 Authority to Grant Access

You represent and warrant that you are the owner of, or have authorized access to and control over, any website you connect to the Service. You must have the legal right to grant Rankrize permission to crawl and analyze the website. You may not connect websites that you do not own or have explicit authorization to manage.

9.3 CMS Credentials

If you choose to connect a WordPress site or other CMS for automated publishing, you will be asked to provide authentication credentials (such as a WordPress application password). You provide these credentials voluntarily, and you acknowledge and agree that:

  • All CMS credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption before storage in our database.
  • Decrypted credentials are used only transiently at the moment of publishing operations and are never logged, cached, or persisted in plaintext.
  • Credentials are used solely for the purpose of publishing content to your CMS at your direction and for verifying integration connectivity.
  • We recommend using application-specific passwords or API keys with limited permissions rather than your primary CMS login credentials.

9.4 Revoking Access

You may revoke Rankrize's access to your website or CMS at any time by disconnecting the integration through the Service dashboard or by contacting us at rankrizeio@gmail.com. Upon revocation, we will cease crawling your website and delete your stored CMS credentials. Note that content already generated or published prior to revocation will not be affected.

10. Acceptable Use

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Without limiting the Acceptable Use Policy, you agree that you will not use the Service to:

  • Generate, publish, or distribute spam, unsolicited bulk content, or content designed solely to manipulate search engine rankings through deceptive means.
  • Create content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable under applicable law.
  • Engage in SEO manipulation that violates Google Search Essentials (formerly Webmaster Guidelines), Bing Webmaster Guidelines, or the terms of service of any other search engine.
  • Generate content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party.
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest the Service, its data, or its outputs using automated means for purposes unrelated to your authorized use of the Service.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive the source code, algorithms, prompt templates, or underlying technology of the Service.
  • Resell or redistribute access to the Service or its outputs as a competing service without our prior written consent.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security, or performance of the Service, including introducing malware, overloading servers, or exploiting vulnerabilities.
  • Use the Service to generate content for websites or businesses that promote illegal activities, hate speech, violence, or exploitation.

Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without notice or refund.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on, integrates with, and utilizes various third-party services, platforms, and technologies to deliver its core functionality. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Google Gemini (Google LLC) — primary AI model provider for content generation, analysis, and scoring.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The availability, performance, and functionality of the Service may be affected by outages, downtime, rate limits, policy changes, or service disruptions at any of our third-party providers.

  • Rankrize is not responsible for the acts, omissions, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party service provider.

12. Service Availability & Modifications

12.1 Availability

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we strive for high uptime and reliability, we do not guarantee any specific level of service availability, uptime percentage, or response time, except as may be expressly set forth in a separate service level agreement (SLA) for Enterprise plan subscribers.

We may perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance that temporarily reduces availability. Where practicable, we will provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance windows.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the above limitations shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be lawfully excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.

The following sections shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms: Section 7 (User Content & Intellectual Property), Section 8 (AI-Generated Content Disclaimer), Section 13 (Limitation of Liability), Section 14 (Indemnification), Section 15 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 17 (Dispute Resolution), Section 18 (Governing Law), Section 19 (Severability), and Section 20 (Entire Agreement), as well as any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination.

17. Dispute Resolution

17.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at rankrizeio@gmail.com with a detailed description of your concern. We will attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith negotiation within thirty (30) days of receiving your notice. Most disputes can be resolved through this informal process.

17.2 Binding Arbitration

If a dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiation within the thirty-day period, you and Rankrize agree that the dispute shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of the Indian Council of Arbitration or such other arbitration institution as the parties may mutually agree. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, in the English language, and the seat of arbitration shall be in India. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.3 Class Action Waiver

You and Rankrize agree that any dispute resolution proceedings shall be conducted solely on an individual basis and not as a class action, class arbitration, or any other type of representative or collective proceeding. You waive any right to participate in or bring claims as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

17.4 Small Claims Exception

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction as an alternative to arbitration, provided the claim falls within the jurisdictional limits of that court.

17.5 Injunctive Relief

Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's intellectual property rights, confidential information, or other proprietary rights.

18. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict of law principles. To the extent that any legal proceedings are brought outside of arbitration (as permitted under Section 17), you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in India.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, the invalidity of that provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent, or if modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Rankrize with respect to your use of the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, whether written or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof. No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

21. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. When we make changes:

  • We will provide at least thirty (30) days' prior notice of material changes by email to the address associated with your account and/or by posting a prominent notice within the Service.
  • The "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms will be revised to reflect the date of the most recent changes.
  • Non-material changes (such as typographical corrections or clarifications that do not alter the substantive meaning) may be made without advance notice.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel your subscription before the changes take effect. Your sole remedy for disagreeing with changes to these Terms is to discontinue your use of the Service.
