Terms of service
The terms on which Ranks Five provides services, and the terms on which you use this website.
What are Ranks Five’s terms?
Work is scoped in a written proposal that governs the engagement. Fees are invoiced as set out in that proposal. You own the deliverables once paid for. Either side may end a retained engagement on 30 days’ written notice.
Using this website
The content on this site is published for information. It is not advice for your specific situation, and acting on a general page without checking it against your own circumstances is not something we can be responsible for. The disclaimer sets that out in more detail.
You may read, print and share this content freely. You may not republish it as your own, and automated bulk extraction for republication is not permitted. Quoting with attribution and a link is welcome.
Engagements
- Every engagement is governed by a written proposal naming the scope, the fee, the measure it will be judged on and the term
- Where this page and a signed proposal disagree, the proposal governs
- Fees are invoiced as stated in the proposal, payable within 14 days unless agreed otherwise
- Deliverables become yours on payment, including documentation and working files
- Either side may end a retained engagement on 30 days’ written notice; fixed-scope work runs to completion or is settled pro rata
- We do not claim ownership of anything created for you, and we do not reuse your data or materials for another client
Nothing in an engagement guarantees a ranking, a traffic figure or a revenue outcome, because those depend on competitors’ behaviour as well as on the work. What is guaranteed is the work described, the measurement, and honest reporting of the result.
Confidentiality
Anything you tell us about your business is confidential and stays that way, during the engagement and after it. We will sign a non-disclosure agreement before any detail is shared if you prefer.
We do not publish client names, figures or case studies without written permission. That is why this site has none. Start at Kolkata if nothing has been built yet, Kota if something has and it is not working.
Liability
Our liability for any claim arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for the work the claim concerns. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit or lost revenue. SaaS and technology if the constraint is budget, Travel and hospitality if the constraint is time.
That limit is normal for professional services of this kind and it is stated plainly rather than buried. Nothing here limits liability for anything that cannot lawfully be limited. Start at AI Automation and Workflows if nothing has been built yet, AI Platform Optimization if something has and it is not working.
Governing law
These terms and any engagement are governed by the laws of India, with the courts of India having jurisdiction. Where a client’s own jurisdiction requires otherwise, that is agreed in the proposal rather than contested later. Read Lead form or Landing page for the standard approach and Local SEO or National SEO for when the standard approach does not fit.
