Terms of Service

Effective Feb 1, 2026 · Last updated Mar 10, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SEO Ladders (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our service.

Description of Service

SEO Ladders is an AI-powered SEO toolkit. The Service includes:

  • Keyword Research, Competitor Gap, Rank Tracker, and Local SEO surfaces
  • Article Writer (single and batch generation) and AutoBlog (scheduled publishing)
  • Article Optimizer (scoring vs live top-10 SERP), Content Refresh (in-place rewrites), and SEO Agent (site-wide audit)
  • Publishing to WordPress and arbitrary HTTPS endpoints via webhooks
  • Programmatic access via REST API and an MCP server (for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and other MCP-compatible clients)
  • HMAC-signed webhook event delivery with retry and replay

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into contracts to use SEO Ladders. By using the platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

Account Registration

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • All activities that occur under your account, including API and MCP usage
  • Securing your API keys and webhook signing secrets — treat them like passwords
  • Rotating API keys promptly if they are exposed or leaked
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access
  • Providing accurate and complete registration information

Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to use SEO Ladders for:

  • Illegal activities or content that violates laws
  • Spam, phishing, link-farming, or malicious content
  • Infringing on intellectual property rights, including using the Service to scrape or republish copyrighted content
  • Harassing, abusive, hateful, or harmful content
  • Attempting to breach security, bypass quotas, or reverse engineer the platform, MCP server, or API
  • Sharing API keys with third parties, reselling API access, or building a competing service on top of our APIs
  • Sustained abuse of rate limits, automated retries, or other behavior that materially degrades service for other users
  • Submitting or generating content that violates the terms of service of your connected platforms (WordPress, etc.)

Content Ownership

You retain ownership of all content you create using the Service — including articles, images, schema, and audit reports generated through the dashboard, REST API, or MCP server. By using the Service, you grant SEO Ladders a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

We do not use your content to train AI models. See the Privacy Policy for the full statement on AI training and model use.

AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

AI-generated content — articles, images, FAQs, citations, schema markup, optimization suggestions, and audit findings — may not always be accurate, factual, current, or appropriate for your use case. You are solely responsible for reviewing, fact-checking, editing, and approving all content before publishing.

Citations and external sources may become stale. Generated images may not match your brand. Schema markup may need validation against current Google guidelines. Audit recommendations are starting points, not guarantees of ranking outcomes.

SEO Ladders is not liable for any inaccuracies, ranking outcomes, or issues arising from AI-generated content or recommendations.

API, MCP, and Webhooks

Programmatic access — REST API, MCP server, and webhooks — is included with your subscription. By using these interfaces you additionally agree to:

  • Authenticate API requests with the bearer key generated in your dashboard, and never embed keys in client-side code
  • Verify webhook signatures (HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body) before trusting event payloads
  • Respect documented rate limits and per-month quotas — sustained abuse may result in throttling or suspension
  • Follow the responsible-use guidelines in our docs (e.g., do not call article generation in tight loops)
  • Accept that programmatic interfaces may evolve — we will provide reasonable notice for breaking changes via the docs and email

The REST API surface is documented at /docs/api and the OpenAPI spec is available at /api/openapi.json.

Payment and Subscriptions

SEO Ladders operates on a subscription basis:

  • 3-day free trial with full access to the Pro tier
  • Single Pro plan: $69/month early-bird pricing, $99/month list price
  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled
  • Cancel anytime during trial at no cost
  • We reserve the right to change pricing with notice

Pro tier monthly quotas — applied per-surface and reset on each billing cycle:

  • 20 article generations (Article Writer + AutoBlog combined)
  • 100 keyword research queries
  • 30 competitor gap analyses
  • 15 article optimizations
  • 10 content refreshes
  • 4 site audits (SEO Agent)
  • 2 team seats

Quotas exist to keep AI costs predictable and the service fast for all users. Exceeding a surface quota returns a 429 on the API and a usage banner in the dashboard. Unused capacity does not roll into the next month.

Refund Policy

We offer a 3-day free trial so you can evaluate SEO Ladders risk-free.

After your trial period ends:

  • All subscription payments are non-refundable
  • You may cancel your subscription at any time
  • Upon cancellation, you retain access until the end of your current billing period
  • No partial refunds are provided for unused time within a billing cycle

If you believe you were charged in error or have extenuating circumstances, please contact us at afriyiesamuel36@gmail.com and we will review your case.

Termination

  • You violate these Terms of Service
  • Your account poses security or legal risks
  • You fail to pay subscription fees
  • You engage in fraudulent or abusive behavior

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings.
