Rankpather undertakes to apply technical knowledge, professional experience, and industry best practices, without guaranteeing specific positions, traffic volumes, leads, sales, or economic results.
5. External Factors and Third-Party Platforms
The Client understands that SEO results depend on multiple factors beyond Rankpather's control, including:
- Changes in search engine algorithms.

- Provide truthful and updated information.

Failure to comply with these obligations may affect the quality of the service, without creating liability for Rankpather.

Rankpather is not responsible for the functioning, availability, or changes in such tools.
8. Duration and Cancellation

Unless otherwise indicated, recurring services are billed periodically and can be cancelled with reasonable notice indicated in the specific agreement.
Payments made are non-refundable once the service provision period has initiated.
9. Prices and Payments
Prices are detailed in the commercial proposal accepted by the Client.
Non-payment or delay may result in the suspension of the service until the situation is regularized, without this generating liability for Rankpather.

The Client obtains right of use over deliverables generated specifically for their project, without this implying cession of rights over internal tools, systems, or methodologies.

This obligation subsists after the termination of the service.

Indirect damages, loss of profits, loss of commercial opportunities, or reputational damages are excluded.

Rankpather may terminate the contractual relationship in case of serious breach by the Client.
Termination will not entitle reimbursement of amounts already paid.

These Terms are governed by applicable legislation in the European Union and, to the corresponding extent, by the legislation of the Client's country of residence when mandatory.
The parties submit to competent courts in accordance with applicable regulations, respecting consumer rights where applicable.
