Warranties.

The agreement covers the pricing, volume, and nature of work as defined in the attached exhibits.  Both parties understand and mutually agree that due to the influence of changes to search engine algorithms, no warranties except for work volume fulfillment, quality, and work originality are guaranteed by this agreement.

IMPERATIVE ON-PAGE:

In Order to facilitate the work of Reputation Management, it is imperative that the Company be provided the credentials to web properties owned by the client.  In addition to this, On-Page recommendations must be implemented in the first 30 days of every Campaign.  The company does not warrant the effectiveness or lack thereof of performance if the On-Page recommendations it sets forth in accordance with this agreement are not implemented or the whole implementation is not facilitated.

ALGORITHM UPDATES:

SEO, Social Media, and Digital Marketing is an ever-changing environment.  We are a company that prides itself on A-B Testing all our proprietary processes before they are implemented on client sites.  Despite our testing, the industry is heavily driven by the algorithm developed by Google, Facebook and other technology companies.  We do not warrant our work from a negative performance that is driven by algorithm changes.

WARRANTIES ON HUMAN ERROR:

In order to retain a natural feel and behavior to our strategy, many of our activities are people-intervened, and therefore it is impossible to remove human error from the process.  We strongly commit to high-Quality Standards and therefore set your expectations at a 1% human error rate.  Should there be questions arising due to the quality or volume of work, we would be more than happy to correct the situation and address the error and complete the fulfillment. Your active participation and vigilance in monitoring the quality of work are not just appreciated, but integral to our mutual success.
