05 Paid Services & Engagement

All paid SEO engagements with Shrazen are governed by a separate written Service Agreement or Proposal, which will detail the specific scope of work, deliverables, timelines, and fees applicable to your campaign.

Scope of Work

Services are performed as outlined in the agreed proposal. Any changes to scope — additional cities, keywords, services, or deliverables outside the agreed plan — must be requested in writing and may result in revised pricing.

Commencement

Work commences upon receipt of the first invoice payment and signed agreement (where applicable). Shrazen reserves the right to delay commencement if client-required access (e.g., Google Search Console, website backend) is not provided within 5 business days of engagement start.

Reporting

We provide monthly performance reports as standard. Report formats and frequency may be adjusted based on your agreed plan tier. Reports contain ranking data, traffic analytics, completed work summaries, and upcoming work plans.

06 Payment Terms

Unless otherwise stated in your Service Agreement:

  • All fees are billed monthly in advance, due on the 1st of each month
  • Payment must be received within 7 days of invoice date
  • Accepted payment methods include bank transfer (NEFT/IMPS/RTGS) and UPI
  • All prices are in Indian Rupees (INR) unless otherwise specified for international clients
  • GST (Goods and Services Tax) will be applied at the applicable rate where required by Indian law

Late Payments

Invoices unpaid beyond 14 days may result in a pause of active SEO work until payment is received. Shrazen is not responsible for any ranking or traffic impact caused by a work pause due to non-payment. We will notify you in writing before pausing any services.

Refunds

Due to the nature of SEO services — which involve labour, tools, and third-party costs — all fees paid are non-refundable once work for that billing period has commenced. If you cancel before work commences in a new billing period, no charge will be made for that period.

07 Cancellation Policy

We operate on a month-to-month basis with no long-term lock-in contracts. Either party may terminate the engagement by providing:

During the notice period, Shrazen will continue to provide agreed services and you remain liable for payment for that period. Upon termination:

  • All ongoing work will be wrapped up and deliverables handed over within 5 business days
  • Access credentials provided by the client will be returned or removed as requested
  • Final reports will be issued covering the last completed work period
  • Shrazen retains the right to use aggregate, anonymised campaign data for internal performance analysis and case study purposes (with identifying details removed unless written consent is given)
⚠ Important Shrazen may terminate your engagement immediately and without notice if you engage in, or request that we engage in, black-hat SEO practices, link schemes, or any activity that violates Google’s Webmaster Guidelines or applicable law. No refund will be issued in such cases.

08 No Guarantee of Rankings

Search engine rankings are determined by Google’s proprietary algorithms, which are outside the control of any SEO agency. Shrazen does not guarantee any specific search ranking, position, or traffic outcome.

Any agency that guarantees specific Google rankings is making a claim they cannot substantiate. Our commitment to you is:

  • Transparent, documented work every month
  • Best-practice, white-hat SEO techniques aligned with Google’s guidelines
  • Consistent effort to improve your organic visibility over time
  • Honest communication if we believe your goals are unachievable within your budget or timeline

Past results achieved for other clients (as shown in our case studies) are illustrative only and are not a guarantee or prediction of future performance for your business.

09 Client Responsibilities

To enable us to deliver effective SEO services, clients agree to:

  • Provide timely access to required tools and platforms (Google Search Console, Google Analytics, website CMS, etc.) within 5 business days of engagement start
  • Review and approve content, copy, or strategy recommendations within agreed timeframes (typically 5–7 business days). Delays in approval may affect campaign timelines.
  • Notify Shrazen promptly of any changes to your website, business model, or marketing strategy that may affect SEO work
  • Not engage any other SEO agency simultaneously without prior written disclosure to Shrazen, as conflicting activities can harm campaign performance
  • Ensure all information provided to Shrazen is accurate, up-to-date, and lawful
  • Not request or encourage Shrazen to engage in any activity that violates Google’s guidelines, applicable law, or these Terms of Service

10 Intellectual Property

Shrazen’s Property

All proprietary methodologies, frameworks, processes, templates, tools, and internal documentation developed by Shrazen remain the exclusive intellectual property of Shrazen. Clients receive the benefit of these tools during the engagement but do not acquire ownership of them.

Deliverables Created for You

Content created specifically for your business as part of an agreed scope — including blog posts, landing page copy, meta descriptions, and on-page content — becomes your property upon full payment of the invoice for the period in which it was created.

Website Access

Any access granted to your website, hosting, or associated accounts is strictly for the purpose of delivering agreed SEO services. Shrazen will not use such access for any other purpose and will not retain access after termination of the engagement.

Our Website Content

All content on shrazen.com — including text, graphics, design, and case studies — is the property of Shrazen and may not be copied, reproduced, or distributed without written permission.

11 Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary or sensitive information shared during the engagement. This includes:

  • Client’s business strategies, performance data, and website analytics
  • Shrazen’s pricing structures, internal processes, and campaign strategies
  • Any information specifically designated as confidential by either party

Confidentiality obligations survive termination of the engagement for a period of 2 years.

Shrazen may reference your business name and general results (e.g., in case studies or on our website) unless you explicitly request in writing that we do not. We will always request permission before using specific metrics, screenshots, or detailed campaign data publicly.

12 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Indian law, Shrazen’s total liability to you for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to Shrazen in the 3 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Shrazen shall not be liable for any:

  • Loss of revenue, profits, or business opportunity
  • Loss of or damage to data
  • Indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages
  • Ranking drops caused by Google algorithm updates outside our control
  • Penalties resulting from prior SEO work done by other agencies before our engagement
  • Losses arising from client delays in approving or implementing recommended changes
⚠ Algorithm Updates Google releases major algorithm updates periodically that can impact rankings unpredictably, even for well-optimised websites. Shrazen is not liable for ranking changes caused by such updates, though we will proactively advise on recovery strategies.

13 Prohibited Use

You agree not to use our website or services to:

  • Request or encourage any SEO practice that violates Google’s Webmaster Guidelines, including link farming, keyword stuffing, cloaking, or any black-hat technique
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information in any form on our website
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of our systems or third-party tools
  • Copy, scrape, or reproduce any content from our website for commercial purposes without permission
  • Engage in any activity that is unlawful under Indian law or the laws of your jurisdiction
  • Use our services to promote content that is defamatory, obscene, misleading, or harmful

Violation of these prohibitions may result in immediate termination of services without refund and may be reported to appropriate authorities.

14 Termination

Either party may terminate a service engagement with 30 days’ written notice, as described in Section 7.

Shrazen reserves the right to immediately terminate your access to our website and/or any service engagement, without notice or refund, if:

  • You breach any provision of these Terms of Service
  • You engage in fraudulent, abusive, or illegal behaviour
  • Payment remains overdue for more than 30 days despite written notice
  • Continuing the engagement would require Shrazen to violate applicable law or ethical standards

Upon any termination, your right to use our services ceases immediately. Sections 10, 11, and 12 of these Terms survive termination.

15 Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Shrazen’s services will first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. Either party may initiate this process by sending a written notice to outlining the nature of the dispute.

If a dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice, either party may pursue resolution through the appropriate courts in India. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of Indian courts for any legal proceedings.

16 Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms of Service at any time. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page
  • Post a notice on our website
  • For active clients: notify you via email at least 14 days before changes take effect

Your continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using our services and notify us of termination per Section 7.
