Legal & Agreements
Terms of Service
Plain-language terms for working with Niagara SEO.
Effective Date: August 31, 2026 | Location: Ontario, Canada
1. Agreement and Written Scope
These website terms explain the general rules for working with Niagara SEO. A client engagement may also include a written proposal, order, invoice or service description. Where a project-specific written scope conflicts with these general terms, the project-specific scope governs that engagement.
2. Standard Website
The Niagara Business Website is a fixed-scope website product priced at $999 CAD unless otherwise stated in writing. The standard product includes up to five core pages, basic website copy assembly from information supplied by the client, responsive design and development, a contact or quote form, technical SEO foundations, basic analytics and search setup, launch configuration and one consolidated revision round.
Ecommerce, complex booking, multilingual builds, large content migrations, custom applications, advanced integrations, additional page networks, full copywriting engagements, photography, video, advertising and other non-standard requirements are quoted separately.
3. Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing accurate business information, required approvals, access to domains and third-party accounts where needed, and any assets they want used unless Niagara SEO has been hired to create those assets. Delays in receiving required information, access or approvals may delay production.
4. Revisions
The Standard Website includes one consolidated revision round after the staging site is presented. Corrections and reasonable adjustments within the approved scope are included. Additional rounds, new creative direction, new pages, major restructuring or new functionality may require a separate quote.
5. Website Care
Website Care is an optional recurring service currently priced at $149 CAD per month for qualifying Niagara SEO Standard Websites. It may include managed hosting, deployment, monitoring, maintenance, platform-related technical fixes, support and up to 30 minutes of minor website changes per month. Unused edit time does not roll over.
Website Care is not an ongoing SEO campaign and does not include new pages, redesigns, articles, new features, photography, video, advertising or other Growth work unless separately agreed.
6. Care Eligibility and Cancellation
Standard Care pricing assumes a website Niagara SEO can operate efficiently. External websites, ecommerce platforms, large WordPress installations, custom applications and other complex systems may require review, remediation, migration or custom pricing before Niagara SEO accepts them for ongoing care.
Standard Website Care runs for an initial 90-day period beginning at launch, and continues month-to-month afterwards. Either party may end the month-to-month term with 30 days written notice, unless a different commitment is agreed in writing. When Care ends, Niagara SEO managed hosting, monitoring, maintenance, support and included change allowance may also end. Niagara SEO will provide a reasonable handoff or export path for client-specific website materials, subject to third-party platform limitations and the reusable-infrastructure terms below.
7. Ownership
Clients retain ownership of their business name, domain, client-supplied materials, client-specific written content, business data, analytics accounts and other client-specific assets once paid for, subject to any third-party licences.
Niagara SEO retains ownership of its reusable methods, internal tooling, design systems, libraries, frameworks, templates, deployment systems, shared components and other pre-existing or reusable infrastructure. A client receives the rights required to use the delivered website for their business, but purchasing a website does not transfer exclusive ownership of Niagara SEO's reusable infrastructure.
8. Third-Party Services
Websites may rely on third-party services such as domain registrars, hosting platforms, analytics providers, email services, search platforms or other software. Those services may have their own terms, pricing, availability and technical limitations.
9. SEO and Business Results
Niagara SEO does not guarantee rankings, traffic, calls, leads, sales or revenue. Search engines, advertising platforms, competitors, market demand, client sales processes and other external factors affect results. When Niagara SEO performs SEO or Growth work, we focus on evidence, implementation and measurement rather than guaranteed outcomes.
10. Growth and Custom Work
SEO, copywriting, photography, video, additional pages, conversion work, advertising, advanced integrations and other Growth or Custom services are separate from the Standard Website and Website Care unless explicitly included in writing.
