Terms of Service

Last updated: September 30, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [COMPANY NAME], [COMPANY ADDRESS] ("Oberrank", "we", "us"). They govern your use of oberrank.com, the hosted Oberrank app at app.oberrank.com, its MCP server and API, and related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, clicking to accept, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Summary

This summary is for convenience and is not part of the Terms.

1. Agreement and eligibility

You may use the Service only if you are at least 18 years old and can form a binding contract with us. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and "you" includes that organization. You may not use the Service if applicable law, including sanctions and export control law, prohibits it, or if we previously terminated your account for breaking these Terms.

The Privacy Policy, our pricing page, and any rules posted for a specific feature are part of this agreement. If you use Oberrank under a separate written agreement with us, that agreement controls wherever it conflicts with these Terms.

These Terms cover the hosted Oberrank Service only. Oberrank is not licensed for you to run, copy, or redistribute yourself. If you build on the Service through its API or MCP server, section 8 still applies to what you do with the data you get back.

2. Accounts and workspaces

Registration. Give us accurate information, keep it current, and verify your email address when asked.

Workspaces. The person who creates a workspace is its owner. The owner controls billing, membership, roles, and project access, and is responsible for the workspace's members and for how they use the Service. If you invite someone or email them a share link, you confirm that you may share their email address with us for that purpose.

Security. Keep your password, API keys, and MCP connections confidential. You are responsible for everything done through your account and credentials, including by AI clients and scripts you connect. Tell us promptly at anonymous@oberrank.com if you suspect unauthorized use.

Closing your account. Email us from your account address and we will delete your account as described in the Privacy Policy. There is currently no self-serve delete button.

3. The Service

What it is. Oberrank provides SEO research and workflow tools, including keyword research, rank tracking, site audits, backlink data, content workflows, integrations with Google services, an AI assistant, and an MCP server and API that let AI clients work with your workspace.

Changes. We may add, change, or remove features, and we may suspend or discontinue the Service or part of it. If we discontinue a paid plan or the Service, we will refund fees you prepaid for the period after discontinuation.

Support. We offer support by email at anonymous@oberrank.com and will make reasonable efforts to respond. We do not promise a response time or uptime unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Beta features. Features marked beta or experimental may change or disappear, and are provided as-is.

Third-party data. Much of the data in the Service comes from third parties, including DataForSEO and Google. Metrics such as search volume, keyword difficulty, backlink counts, and rankings are estimates. They may be incomplete or delayed, may differ from what you see elsewhere, and can change when providers change their methods. We do not guarantee their accuracy, completeness, or availability.

No guarantee of results. SEO outcomes depend on many things we do not control, including search engine algorithms. We do not guarantee any ranking, traffic, revenue, or other result.

AI features. The in-app assistant and other AI features generate output using third-party AI models. Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, or similar to output given to others, and it is not professional advice. You are responsible for reviewing output before you rely on it or publish it, and for making sure what you publish complies with the law, search engine guidelines, and other people's rights. Actions the assistant takes for you, such as running lookups or saving data to your workspace, use your credits and permissions.

Connected accounts and AI clients. You may connect Google accounts and AI clients to your workspace. You confirm that you are authorized to grant that access, and you are responsible for the data you make available and for what connected clients do with it. Google's terms and the terms of any AI client you connect apply to your use of them. You can disconnect at any time as described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Free trial

We may offer new accounts a free trial. You do not need to provide a payment card or any other payment method to start one. The limits of the trial, such as an amount of trial credits, a time period, or restricted features, are shown when you sign up or on our pricing page.

• No automatic charge. We will not charge you when a trial ends. Because we do not collect a payment method for the trial, you are billed only if you choose a paid plan and complete checkout.
• Upgrading is your choice. To keep using paid features or to add credits, you need to select a plan and pay through Stripe.
• When the trial ends. When your trial period or trial credits run out, features that use credits or that are limited to paid plans stop working until you subscribe or buy credits. We may limit or suspend access to a workspace that stays on a trial after it ends. We keep your workspace data for a reasonable period so you can upgrade later, and you can ask us to delete it at any time. We may delete the data of a trial account that has been inactive for an extended period, after notifying you by email.
• One trial per person or organization. Creating multiple accounts, using disposable email addresses, or otherwise getting around trial limits is not allowed. If we suspect it, we may refuse or end a trial and suspend related accounts.
• Changes. We may change, limit, or end trial offers at any time. A trial does not carry over to a new account.
• As-is. Trial access is provided as-is, with no commitment about availability or support.

5. Subscriptions, credits, and payment

Plans and prices. Current plans, prices, included credits, and billing periods are shown on our pricing page and at checkout. The plan and price shown at checkout are the ones you agree to. Prices are in US dollars unless checkout says otherwise. Cost estimates on our pricing page or in the app are illustrations, not quotes.

Automatic renewal. A paid subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly, unless checkout says otherwise) at the price then in effect, until you cancel. When you subscribe, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method at checkout and again at each renewal. You can see your next renewal date and amount in the billing portal.

Payment processing. Stripe processes payments, subject to Stripe's terms. We do not receive or store your full card number. You agree to give accurate payment, billing, and, if you want it on invoices, tax information. Business customers should enter their legal name and tax ID at checkout.

Failed payments. If a payment fails, Stripe may retry it. We may suspend paid features, or move your workspace to the free plan, until payment succeeds. Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank. We can usually fix a problem faster, and we may suspend accounts that have unresolved chargebacks.

Taxes. Prices do not include taxes such as VAT, GST, or sales tax unless we say so. Where we are required to collect tax, we will add it to your invoice. Otherwise you are responsible for taxes that apply to your purchase, other than taxes on our income.

Price changes. We may change prices or plan features. For an existing subscription, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or in the app, and the change applies from your first renewal after that notice. You can cancel before it takes effect.

Credits. Features that draw on paid data providers or AI models use credits. The number of credits an action uses is shown in the app, often as an estimate before you run it. It depends on the provider's cost plus our service fee, and we may adjust it going forward when provider costs change. Adjustments never apply to usage that has already happened.

• Monthly credits that come with a plan reset at each billing period and do not carry over.
• Top-up credits you purchase carry over from period to period while your account is open and in good standing.
• Credits have no cash value, cannot be transferred to another workspace or person, and are not refundable except as stated in section 6 or required by law.
• We do not bill you for usage beyond your credit balance. When credits run out, credit-using features stop until you add more.

6. Cancellation and refunds

Cancel any time. You can cancel your subscription in the billing portal or by emailing us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep access until then, and we will not charge you again. Except as stated in this section or required by law, we do not refund the unused part of a billing period.

30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with a paid subscription, email us within 30 days of a subscription charge and we will refund your most recent subscription charge in full. The guarantee covers subscription fees only. It does not cover top-up credits you have already used. We may decline a refund if we reasonably believe there is fraud, abuse of the guarantee (including repeated subscribe-and-refund cycles), or a violation of these Terms.

How refunds are paid. Refunds go back to the original payment method through Stripe and can take several business days to appear.

Consumers in the EU and UK. If you are a consumer, meaning you buy for purposes outside your trade or profession, you have a legal right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. If you start using a paid plan right away, you ask us to begin providing it during that period. You acknowledge that if you withdraw, you must pay us a proportionate amount for the Service provided until you told us you were withdrawing, and that you lose the right to withdraw from a purchase once it has been fully performed, for example credits you have used. To withdraw, email us. Our 30-day guarantee is in addition to this right. This paragraph does not apply to business customers.

7. Your content

Ownership. You keep all rights in the content you put into the Service or generate with it, including keywords, notes, drafts, reports, and data from connected accounts ("Your Content"). We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

License to us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, and display Your Content only as needed to provide, secure, and support the Service for you and as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use Your Content to train AI models. We may use aggregated, de-identified data that does not identify you or your customers to operate and improve the Service. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, except for backups and copies we must keep by law, which remain subject to these Terms.

Your responsibilities. You confirm that you have all rights needed to submit Your Content and to grant the license above, that Your Content and your use of the Service comply with the law and these Terms, and that you have given any notices and obtained any consents required to share other people's personal data with us. If data protection law applies to you and you want a data processing agreement, email us.

Share links. You can create links that let anyone who has the link view a piece of content or a report. They can see it until it expires or you revoke it, so do not share confidential material by link unless you are comfortable with that.

Backups. We take steps to protect Your Content, but we do not guarantee it will never be lost. Export or keep copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:

• break the law or infringe someone else's rights;
• upload or transmit malware, or disrupt, probe, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or systems connected to the Service;
• get around usage limits, credit metering, rate limits, or access controls, or create multiple accounts or use disposable email addresses to get more free credits or trials;
• resell or redistribute data from the Service as a standalone data product, or use the Service or its data to build a competing data product;
• scrape the Service or use bots or automation other than through our API, MCP server, or documented integrations;
• send spam or unsolicited messages through the Service;
• use AI features to produce illegal or harmful content, or to attack or deceive people;
• share your credentials or let someone else use your account; or
• use the Service in a way that breaks the terms of a provider whose data we deliver, such as Google.

Websites you scan. Site audits, rank tracking, and similar tools send requests to websites you specify. Only point them at sites you own or control, or that you have permission to test. Do not use them to overload a site, probe it for vulnerabilities, or get around its access controls. Our audit crawler identifies itself with a user agent that begins with Oberrank-Audit, so site owners can recognize and block it.

We may investigate suspected violations and remove content or suspend accounts as described in section 12.

9. Third-party services

The Service works with third-party services, including Google, Stripe, DataForSEO, OpenRouter and its AI model providers, and the AI clients you connect. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them. We may add or replace providers.

10. Our intellectual property and feedback

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, and the Oberrank name and logo, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for your personal and business purposes, including SEO work for your own websites and your clients' websites, subject to these Terms. You may export reports and results and use them in your own work and in client deliverables.

These Terms do not give you any right to use our names, logos, or branding. Ask us first if you want to reference Oberrank publicly.

If you give us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or payment, and you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to do so.

11. Privacy and data protection

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data. Where we process personal data contained in Your Content on your behalf, we do so on your instructions, and on request we will sign a data processing agreement with you.

12. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service at any time and cancel as described in section 6. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, if you do not pay, if the law requires it, or if we discontinue the Service. Where practical and lawful, we will tell you why and, for breaches that can be fixed, give you a chance to fix them first. If we end your paid subscription without cause, we will refund prepaid fees for the period after termination.

When your access ends, your right to use the Service ends, and we may delete Your Content as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections 5 (for amounts owed), 7, 8, 10, and 13 to 19 continue to apply after termination.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE, ANY DATA, OR ANY AI OUTPUT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, ACCURATE, OR COMPLETE, OR THAT IT WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR SEO RESULT.

Some places do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) NEITHER WE NOR OUR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE LIABILITY AND (II) US$100. THESE LIMITS APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS, WHATEVER THE LEGAL THEORY.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

15. Indemnification

If you use the Service for business purposes, you will defend and indemnify us and our officers, employees, and agents against third-party claims, and the resulting losses and reasonable legal fees, that arise from Your Content, from your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or from a scan or audit you ran against a website you were not authorized to test. We will give you prompt notice of the claim and reasonable cooperation, and you may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault for us without our consent. This section does not apply to consumers to the extent the law prohibits it.

16. Copyright and intellectual property complaints

If you believe content in the Service infringes your copyright or other rights, email anonymous@oberrank.com with:

• your name and contact details;
• a description of the work you say is infringed;
• the location (URL) of the material;
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorized to act for the owner.

We will review the notice, may remove the material and tell the person who posted it, and will end the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate cases. False claims can have legal consequences.

17. Governing law and disputes

Talk to us first. If you have a problem, email us. Before either of us starts formal proceedings, we will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.

Governing law. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of them or the Service, are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW], without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Courts. The courts of [COURTS] have exclusive jurisdiction over those disputes, except that either of us may seek urgent injunctive relief in any competent court, and if you are a consumer you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and the mandatory consumer laws of that country continue to apply to you.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new date. For material changes, we will notify you by email or in the app at least 30 days before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after the effective date, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, you can cancel before it takes effect. Price changes are handled under section 5.

19. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the pricing and feature rules they refer to are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
• Severability and waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect and the provision is enforced to the extent the law allows. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Events beyond our control. Neither of us is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, other than an obligation to pay.
• Notices. We may notify you by email to your account address, in the app, or by posting on our website. You agree to receive notices electronically. Send notices to us at the contact details below.
• Export and sanctions. You will comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws and will not use the Service if you are located in, or ordinarily resident in, a sanctioned country or are on a restricted-party list.
• Independent parties. We are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, agency, or employment relationship, and they do not give rights to anyone who is not a party.
• Interpretation. "Including" means "including without limitation". Headings are for convenience only.
