The Client acknowledges the following with respect to SEO services:

• All fees are non-refundable.

• All fees, services, documents, recommendations, and reports are confidential.
  

• Due to the competitiveness of some keywords/phrases, ongoing changes in search engine ranking algorithms, and other competitive factors, Studio98 does not guarantee #1 positions or consistent top 10 positions for any particular keyword, phrase, or search term. However, Studio98 will do what it deems best to accomplish the goal of increasing traffic and search engine placement.

• Linking to “bad neighborhoods” or getting links from “link farms” can seriously damage all SEO efforts. Studio98 does not assume liability for the Client’s choice to link to or obtain a link from any particular website.

• Some search directories offer expedited listing services for a fee. If the Client wishes to engage in said expedited listing services (e.g., paid directories), the Client is responsible for all paid for inclusion or expedited service fees.

• Occasionally, search engines will drop listings for no apparent or predictable reason. Often, the listing will reappear without any additional SEO. Should a listing be dropped during the SEO campaign and does not reappear within 30 days of campaign completion, Studio98 will re-optimize the website/page based on the current policies of the search engine in question.

• Google has been known to hinder the rankings of new websites (or pages) until they have proven their viability to exist for more than Google’s arbitrary amounts of time. This is referred to as the “Google Sandbox.” Studio98 assumes no liability for ranking/traffic/indexing issues related to Google Sandbox penalties and/or any any other decisions or ranking changes made by Google.

• Studio98 has no control over the policies of search engines with respect to the type of sites and/or content that they accept now or in the future. The Client’s website may be excluded from any directory or search engine at any time at the sole discretion of the search engine or directory.

• Studio98 is not responsible for changes made to the website by other parties that adversely affect the search engine rankings of the Client’s website.

• Studio98 is not responsible for the Client overwriting SEO work to the Client’s site. (e.g., Client/webmaster uploading over work already provided/optimized). The Client will be charged an additional fee for re-constructing content, based on the hourly rate of $100 per hour.

• All fees are non-refundable.

• 
  Our $500 management fee covers up to $5000 in ad spending. If a campaign is consistently higher than this is the amount being spent on advertising then we will charge 10% of the amount being spent on advertising in place of the flat $500 fee. If the spending goes up or down on a monthly average we will adjust the amount being charged. As the budgets are set 
  in
   the beginning of the month, this will be charged based on your estimated spending for the month.
  

• In no case will the fee drop lower than $500 as this is the minimum charge to run the campaign.
