Terms of use
Effective Date: 20-10-2025
Welcome to akramseo.com! By using my website or hiring me for SEO services, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. Let’s keep things simple, fair, and transparent.
1. Who I Am & What I Do
- I’m S M Akram Hossain (a.k.a. AkramSEO), an SEO specialist offering services like keyword research, on-page SEO, technical SEO, content strategy, link building, and performance reporting.
- Services are custom-tailored and will be fully described in a proposal or invoice before we start.
2. Accepting the Work
- When you accept my proposal or pay the deposit/invoice, that means you agree to these Terms & Conditions.
- Work starts only after we both agree on the scope, timeline, and payment terms.
3. What I Need From You
To get good results, I’ll need your cooperation:
- Access to your website backend, analytics/data, and any content or media assets you own
- Quick feedback and approvals when needed
- Content or materials you want included (images, logos, existing copy) must be provided in good time
If delays happen because I don’t get access or materials, timelines may shift.
4. Payment & Fees
- I’ll provide a quote or invoice that shows what you’ll pay and when.
- Usually, a deposit (of ___%) is required before work begins. The rest is paid upon milestone or final delivery.
- For ongoing services (e.g. monthly SEO), payments are due as scheduled (e.g. first of the month or as per agreement).
- Late payments may incur fees, or pause in work until payment is received.
- What I Promise (And What I Can’t)
- I commit to using white-hat, ethical SEO best practices.
- I will work diligently, keep you updated, and strive for improvement.
- However, I cannot guarantee specific rankings, traffic numbers, or outcomes. Results depend on many factors (competition, search engine algorithm changes, client-side changes, etc.).
6. Deliverables & Report
- I’ll give you reports (monthly or as agreed) showing what was done, what’s improved, and what’s next.
- Deliverables (e.g. audit reports, optimized pages, backlinks, content strategy) will be clearly described in the proposal.
7. Cancellation & Refunds
- You can cancel a project or service with written notice. If work has already been done, you’ll pay for what has been completed.
- Prepaid amounts for undelivered work may be partially refundable, depending on how much work has been done and any costs incurred.
- If you cancel after deliverables have been handed over, no refund will be possible for work already done.
8. Intellectual Property
- You retain ownership of all content, images, logos, etc. you provide.
- I retain ownership of any processes, tools, and methodologies I develop, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
- After full payment, I will grant rights for you to use the work I do for your site (optimized content, on-page SEO work, etc.).
9. Confidentiality & Privacy
- Any private info you share (login credentials, business data, strategy, etc.) will be kept confidential.
- I will not share it with others unless required (e.g. subcontractors engaged with your consent) or by law.
- Your data will be handled securely.
10. Limitation of Liability
- I’ll do my best, but I can’t be responsible for indirect or unexpected damages (lost revenue, downtime, penalties caused by previous SEO, etc.).
- My total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the specific service in question.
11. Changes to These Terms
- I may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time.
- If I make significant changes, I’ll let you know (e.g., via email or notice on the website).
- Continued use of the website or services after changes implies you accept the new terms.
12. Governing Law & Disputes
- These Terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh.
- Any disputes will be handled reasonably and in good faith. If needed, we can use mediation or the local courts.
13. Use of Work in My Portfolio
- With your permission, I may showcase the work I do for you in my portfolio, case studies, or marketing materials. This helps me show what I can do, and doesn’t affect your rights or confidential info.
- If you prefer I do not use certain parts publicly (e.g. proprietary content, special strategies), just tell me and we’ll write that in the agreement.
