1. About these terms

These terms govern your use of the website at clariosearch.com (the "Site"), operated by Clario Search ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site. Where we agree to carry out paid work for you, a separate written proposal or contract will set out the specific scope, fees and terms for that engagement, and those will take precedence over these general terms.

2. Using our website

You may use the Site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

3. Intellectual property

All content on the Site, including text, design, graphics, logos, the "Clario Search" name and our audit framework and methodology, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your own reference, but you may not reproduce, republish or exploit our content commercially without our written consent.

4. Our services & quotes

Information on the Site about our services and pricing is provided for general guidance and does not constitute a binding offer. Prices shown are indicative and may vary depending on the scope of your project. A binding agreement is formed only when we confirm a project in writing and you accept our proposal. Fees, payment terms, timelines and deliverables for any engagement will be set out in that proposal.

5. Free audits, wireframes & discovery calls

We sometimes offer complimentary SEO audits, website wireframes or discovery calls. These are provided in good faith and without charge or obligation. We may limit availability, decline requests at our discretion, and we give no guarantee as to turnaround in any individual case. Anything we produce for you as part of a free offer remains our intellectual property unless we agree otherwise in writing.

6. Results & performance

The case studies, statistics and testimonials on the Site reflect genuine results we have achieved for specific clients, and we hold supporting evidence for the figures shown. However, SEO and search visibility depend on many factors outside our control, including search engine algorithms, competitor activity and market conditions. Past results are not a guarantee of future performance, and we do not promise any specific ranking, traffic or revenue outcome unless expressly agreed in a signed contract.

7. Liability

The Site is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site, or from reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Liability arising from any paid engagement will be governed by the contract for that work.

The Site may link to or embed third-party services (such as Google's booking scheduler, or our social media profiles). We're not responsible for the content, availability or privacy practices of those third parties, and their inclusion doesn't imply our endorsement.

9. Privacy

Our handling of your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which form part of these terms.

10. Governing law & jurisdiction

These terms, and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Site, are governed by the laws of Jersey. You agree that the courts of Jersey shall have jurisdiction, save that we retain the right to bring proceedings in another jurisdiction where appropriate.
