Terms of service

These terms are an agreement between you and [legal entity name], which operates HaloSEO. By using the service you agree to what is below. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you are confirming you are allowed to, and “you” means that company.

What we provide

HaloSEO plans, writes and illustrates blog articles and publishes them to a website you control, on a schedule you set. The service is provided as it is: we work to keep it running and accurate, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free.

We do not guarantee search rankings, traffic or sales. No one honestly can. Search engines decide what to rank and change how they decide it. Any figures shown on our marketing pages are examples, not a forecast of your results.

Your account

Keep your login details to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you think somebody else has access. One subscription covers one connected website; further websites are charged separately, as set out below.

Payment

• Monthly is $76.48 per month, charged monthly until you cancel.
• Six month is $298.27, charged as one payment covering six months. That is $160.61 less than paying $76.48 a month for the same six months (35%).
• The 3 day trial is not free and we do not describe it as free. We charge $1.00 when you start, and that $1.00 is taken off your first full payment, so the trial costs you nothing extra if you stay. If you cancel within 3 days you pay nothing further and the $1.00 is not refunded.
• Additional websites are the same plans at 20% off: $61.18 per month or $238.62 for six months, per site. They are added from your dashboard, they start immediately, and they do not include a trial.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. Prices are in US dollars and exclude any tax that applies where you are.
• We may change our prices, but not for a period you have already paid for. We will tell you before a change affects you.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time from your account. Cancelling stops future charges and stops us publishing new posts at the end of the period you have paid for. We do not charge a cancellation fee and we do not require notice.

We do not offer refunds for time already paid for. If something has gone genuinely wrong, email us and we will sort it out; we would rather fix a problem than argue about a policy.

Who owns what

You own the articles and images we produce for you. Once a post is published to your website it is yours to keep, edit, move, or delete, including after you stop paying us. We keep ownership of HaloSEO itself: the software, the site and our brand.

You are responsible for what is published under your name. We strongly recommend reading posts before or shortly after they go live, especially anything that states a price, a legal fact, a medical claim or a guarantee. We check drafts for originality and quality, but the final published page is on your website and represents your business.

Connecting your website

You confirm you are entitled to publish to the website you connect. Connecting a site involves a configuration change on your side; we provide the instructions but we cannot be responsible for the wider configuration of your hosting, and we will never ask you for hosting passwords.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use HaloSEO to produce or publish:

• content that is unlawful, defamatory, or infringes someone else’s rights;
• content designed to deceive readers about who you are or what you sell;
• bulk pages made to manipulate search rankings rather than to be read;
• content for a site you do not have the right to publish to.

We may suspend or close an account being used this way, and we may refuse to publish specific content.

AI-generated content

Articles are written by AI models. That has consequences worth stating plainly rather than burying:

• It can be wrong. Models state things confidently that are out of date or simply incorrect. Nothing we publish is checked by a human before it goes live unless you check it.
• It is not professional advice. Do not let it stand as legal, medical, financial or safety guidance for your readers without review by someone qualified in that field.
• You are the publisher. The page sits on your domain under your name. You are responsible for what it says, and you should read posts before or shortly after they go live - particularly anything stating a price, a legal fact, a medical claim or a guarantee.
• Similar output is possible. We take reasonable steps to produce original text, but we cannot guarantee that a model will never produce something resembling material published elsewhere.
• Search engines set their own rules about automated content and change them. Complying with them on your own site is your decision and your responsibility.

Text messages

If you give us a mobile number, you agree we may text you about the service and, where you have consented to it, about features and offers.

• Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP to stop messages to that number, or HELP for help. You can also email us.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages, and delivery is not guaranteed.
• Consent to texts is not a condition of buying anything, and refusing or withdrawing it does not affect your subscription.
• You confirm the number you give us is yours and that you may receive messages at it. Tell us if it changes or stops being yours, so we do not text somebody else.

How we handle the number itself is in our privacy policy.

Third-party platforms

Publishing to WordPress, a CMS or a host means using their systems on your behalf and under your credentials or configuration. Their terms apply to that, we do not control them, and we are not responsible if they change an API, throttle a request or reject a post.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, that we reasonably believe is being used unlawfully, or whose payment has failed and stayed unpaid after we have asked. Where it is reasonable to warn you first, we will. You may close your account at any time as set out above.

On termination your right to use the service stops. Articles already published to your site remain yours, and the sections of these terms that by their nature should survive - ownership, liability, indemnity and governing law - do.

No warranties

Except where the law says otherwise, the service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free, or that any content it produces is accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they do not apply to you.

Your responsibility to us

You agree to cover our reasonable losses, including legal costs, arising from a claim brought by someone else because of content published under your account, your use of the service in breach of these terms, or your lack of the rights needed to publish to a site you connected.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost profits, lost traffic, lost data or other indirect losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Sorting out disagreements

If something goes wrong, email us first. Most problems are settled in a few messages and we would rather fix one than argue about it. If we cannot settle it within 30 days, either of us may take it further.

These terms are governed by the laws of [state/country], and the courts of [state/country] have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer, this does not remove the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in, or your right to bring a claim there.

The rest

• If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still stands.
• Not enforcing something once does not mean we have given up the right to enforce it later.
• You may not transfer your agreement with us to someone else without our consent. We may transfer ours if the business is sold, and will tell you if that happens.
• Neither of us is responsible for failures caused by things genuinely outside our control, such as an outage at a provider we depend on.
• If you send us feedback or a suggestion, we may act on it without owing you anything for it.
• These terms and our privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about the service, and replace anything said before.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product changes. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and we will email account holders about anything significant rather than changing the page quietly.
