Terms of Service
C.A. Web Design, Inc. guarantees a minimum number of top ten listings across 10 search engines within 10 months from completion date. Most engines will index your site in about three (3) months, but it takes time to gain the popularity and ranking needed to compete on competitive phrases. The search engines included are: AOL, AlltheWeb, AltaVista, AskJeeves, Google, Hotbot, IWon, Looksmart, Lycos, MSN, Netscape, Teoma, and Yahoo!. The minimum number of top ten listings guaranteed is 5 for the 20 keyword phrase package, 10 for the 30 keyword phrase package and 20 for the 50 keyword phrase package.
In order to achieve optimal results, we require that the following conditions be met. If they are not, the guarantee will be void. By completing our online sign up form, or confirming an order on the phone, you agree to the following terms and conditions: |

Changes Made to Your Site |
| |
In order to keep your website ranking in top positions we must have full FTP access (read/write permissions) to the web site server during the guarantee period. This will allow us to make any necessary changes to the site in the event of a search engine algorithm shift. (C.A. Web Design, Inc. hosted clients need not provide FTP information).
We must have the ability to optimize the layout and keyword density of your web pages. Changes are minimal and visually obvious changes are rarely made to your site's homepage. We will work with you every step of the way to preserve the original look and feel of the site. If you plan to make any significant design changes to your site within six months of your optimization order, you must notify C.A. Web Design, Inc. before work commences. If C.A. Web Design, Inc. is not notified, a charge may be applied for update of custom pages made before a design was implemented.
|
| |
Any web site downtime of one day or more voids the guarantee because search engines will remove your listing if they cannot find your site.
|
| |
Our work cannot be altered or removed during the optimization period. If our work is not visible to search engine spiders for 2 days or more due to the optimization being removed, overwritten, or deleted, the guarantee is void. If our work is altered or removed for any reason, contact us immediately. We will repair it for a fee of $150, and your guarantee can continue.
|
| |
Cloning your web site after the promotion has been uploaded will void the guarantee because search engines penalize and ban sites for this practice.
|
|
In order for C.A. Web Design, Inc. to provide the best possible search engine optimization services, we need to work together as a team. You agree that you will let us know if you make any changes to your pages, especially the homepage. As the entrance to your site, this page is critical.
You agree to inform us by email of any substantial edits or changes to your site within two days. This guarantee is void if our work is altered without our knowledge. Search engine optimization fees to repair altered pages are billed at $150 per hour.
|
|
Keyword Phrases |
|
The keyword research stage (where applicable) will include no more than three rounds of research by our SEO developers.
|
|
C.A. Web Design, Inc. will perform industry research in order to provide keyword phrase choices to you, and you will choose the final phrases. Hence, C.A. Web Design, Inc. will not be held liable for any trademark or brand infringement based on your choices of keyword phrases.
|
|
Text Writing |
|
Search engines sometimes place penalties on sites that have duplicate content from another site. If you choose to write the content for your site optimization and our editors find that it is not original, unique copy and that it contains duplicated content from your own site or any other site, the guarantee is void.
|
|
This guarantee is only valid for top ten listings across the major search engines listed above for keyword phrases researched by our team. We are not providing a guarantee on sales or traffic. This will depend on the demand for your product or service, design and layout of site, and many other factors that are beyond our control. Our guarantee is based upon our most diligent efforts to deliver top search engine rankings.
|
|
The web is very unpredictable and dynamic. For this reason, our services are provided on a best-efforts basis. In no event will C.A. Web Design, Inc. be liable for any damages, for any cause, arising from provided services, including any lost profit, lost savings, or other incidental or consequential damages, even if another party has advised C.A. Web Design, Inc. of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim.
|
|
Submission |
|
Our web promotion services do not include the paid submission fees that some engines charge for inclusion. We are not affiliated with these submission services in any way. You may opt to pay these fees directly to the search engine for inclusion.
|
|
Abandoned Projects |
|
During the Keyword Research phase and Text Writing phase of the optimization process, a developer will contact you via email with information that will require a response. Response will be necessary for the project to move forward in a timely manner. If a response is not received from the client for more than 60 days, the optimization project is considered “abandoned” and payment is surrendered in full.
|
|
Refunds |
|
Optimization refunds will only be given under special circumstances as determined by a C.A. Web Design, Inc. representative. |
