World Website Service (WWS) ® Terms & Conditions

 

Payment:

Payment will be done partly up in front or as agreed different with our steady clients with longer projects. If the client has unpaid bills, we stop working until the payment is made in full.

We prefer International payments using IBAN / SWIFT payments. The client pays all banking charges (ask more information about the charges at your local bank). Alternatively we can accept a Paypal payment, the costs of Paypal will be charged. All our prices are exclusive Vat.

About the SEO process and dealing with exceptions:

The client should acknowledge, that we or any other SEO company can not give out any guarantees about getting certain positions.SEO process takes at least 1-3 months to show some significant effect. During this time the client site is analyzed and optimized within the timelines and resources specified as agreed. Achieving stable high rankings can take up to 12 months and require major investments. During the optimization process, the client site is very likely to drop in rankings and get less traffic from search engines. It is also possible, that the number of sales and rankings will go permanently down

We or any other SEO company can’t promise traffic gain, better SERP results or more sales because search engine results are largely affected by many off-page factors which search engines like Google use in their algorithms. Normally the end result of the SEO process will be more traffic, better rankings, more sales but as said, no SEO company can promise this or give any guarantee.

In case of argument, the issue is handled within Dutch Market Court which applies the rules of Dutch legislation about bought services and products. Basically this means that IF the bought service does not match contract / TOS, or is by some other way damaged, the client is entitled to a partial refund.
