- Provide timely access to required accounts and platforms (GBP, website CMS, Google Search Console, Google Ads)
- Supply accurate and complete business information including NAP details and service descriptions
- Review and approve deliverables within agreed timeframes

Payment & Fees
All fees are as specified in the agreed proposal or service contract. Unless otherwise stated:
- Monthly retainer fees are due on the 1st of each month and are non-refundable once the billing period begins

- Invoices not paid within 7 days of the due date may result in a pause or suspension of services
- A late fee of 2% per month applies on outstanding balances after 14 days
All prices are quoted in USD unless otherwise agreed. Clients are responsible for any applicable taxes or transaction fees in their jurisdiction.
05
Deliverables & Timelines
GIORANK will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all agreed services within outlined timelines. Timelines are estimates and may be affected by delayed client access to accounts, scope changes, Google platform policy changes, or technical issues on the Client's website. Any changes to the agreed scope must be requested in writing and may result in additional fees or revised timelines.
06
No Guarantee of Results
Important: SEO, Google Ads, and AI Search Optimization are inherently variable. While GIORANK employs proven strategies, no specific ranking position, traffic level, lead volume, or revenue outcome can be guaranteed.
Search engine rankings are determined by third-party platforms that may change algorithms at any time without notice. GIORANK is not responsible for ranking fluctuations caused by algorithm updates, actions taken by the Client outside GIORANK's recommendations, increased competition, or pre-existing penalties. Historical results shown in our portfolio represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results.
07
Intellectual Property
Client's pre-existing content, trademarks, and materials remain the Client's property. Upon full payment, GIORANK grants the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use all deliverables created specifically for the Client. Any internal tools, templates, methodologies, or frameworks developed by GIORANK remain GIORANK's sole property and are not transferred to the Client. GIORANK reserves the right to reference the Client's name and results in its portfolio with the Client's permission.
08
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary information, business strategies, pricing, or data shared during the engagement. This obligation survives termination of services. GIORANK will not share the Client's confidential business information with third parties, except as necessary to deliver services or as required by law. Clients with specific requirements may request a separate NDA before work commences.
09
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GIORANK shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of revenue, profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities. GIORANK's total cumulative liability shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
10
Termination
By the Client: Services may be terminated with a minimum of 30 days' written notice to mazhar@giorank.com. Fees for work completed or in progress during the notice period remain due.
By GIORANK: GIORANK may terminate immediately if the Client fails to make payment after notice, engages in abusive behavior toward GIORANK staff, requests services that violate search engine guidelines or applicable law, or provides false or misleading information. No refunds will be issued for services already rendered.
11
Third-Party Platforms
GIORANK's services involve third-party platforms including Google Search, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, Upwork, Ahrefs, SEMrush, and others. The Client acknowledges that these platforms have their own terms of service that may change without notice, GIORANK has no control over their decisions, and costs associated with third-party tools or ad platforms are separate from GIORANK's service fees unless explicitly bundled.
12
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Pakistan. Disputes shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be referred to binding arbitration or the competent courts of Pakistan, as mutually agreed.
13
Changes to These Terms
GIORANK reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. For active clients, material changes will be communicated via email at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued engagement with GIORANK's services after such changes constitutes your acceptance.
