These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("Buyer", "you") and Apex Tech Solutions LLC ("ApexTech", "we", "us", "our") covering your use of this website and the placement services we provide. Read them in full before you place an order. If you do not agree with any part, do not place an order.
This page is a plain-language draft of our commercial terms, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction. Some details below are marked as pending while the entity is finalized. We will replace each marked item with its confirmed value before these Terms take effect for paid orders.
01Acceptance of terms
You accept these Terms when you do any of the following: place an order, approve a quote, send payment, or otherwise use our services. Acceptance binds the individual acting and, where that individual acts for a company or agency, the organization they represent. You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and have the authority to enter this agreement on behalf of that organization.
If you accept these Terms on behalf of a client of yours, you remain responsible to us for the order regardless of any separate arrangement between you and that client. We contract with you, not with your client.
02Definitions
- Placement means a single link published within editorial content on a third-party website, in line with the specification you approve.
- Publisher or Site Owner means the independent third party that owns and operates a website on which a placement is published.
- Order means a request for one or more placements that you have approved and paid for.
- Verification means the checks we run on a site before listing it, covering organic traffic, footprint, indexation, traffic geography, and editorial history.
- Window means the replacement-coverage period attached to a placement, stated on the order at the time of purchase.
- Live means a placement that is published, indexable, and returning the agreed link on the agreed page.
03Description of services
We are a brokerage. We do not own the sites we place on. We source, verify, and arrange guest-post placements on independent third-party websites, then manage the placement on your behalf and monitor it through its window. Our role is to find sites that meet a real standard, broker the placement, and stand behind it within the limits set out in these Terms.
To protect the value of the inventory, the domain name of a listed site stays private until you request the full report for that site. We refer to this as masking. Masking keeps verified sites off public scrape lists, which is what keeps their links worth buying. When you request a site, we send you the live URL together with its dated verification so you can re-check the numbers in your own tools before you commit.
We arrange placements. We do not control third-party websites, their owners, their editorial decisions, or the search engines that index them. Section 10 sets out what that means for outcomes.
04Orders, quotes, and approval
Nothing is charged until you approve it. The order flow is built so that you see and accept each site before any payment is taken:
- You tell us your niche, target metrics, and roughly how many placements you need.
- We send you vetted options with the verification data behind each one.
- You approve the specific site or sites you want. You approve each site individually.
- We issue a quote that states the site, the price, the link specification, and the replacement window.
- You pay. We then arrange the placement.
A quote is an offer, not a binding contract, until you pay it. Quotes are valid for the period stated on them, or for fourteen days where no period is stated. Site availability and verified metrics can change between quote and payment because the underlying sites are not ours; if a site you approved becomes unavailable before placement, we will offer a verified replacement of equal or higher standard or refund that line in full. We may decline or cancel any order at our discretion, including where an order would breach Section 8.
05Payment terms
We collect payment before placement. This is deliberate. Collecting first lets us commit our own funds to the publisher on your behalf and removes the incentive games that plague pay-on-delivery link buying. Work begins once cleared payment is received for the relevant order.
Prices are quoted per placement and are inclusive of our fee. The price you approve is the price you pay. We do not add a publisher surcharge, a payment surcharge, or a fee at the end that was not in the quote. Prices are stated in US dollars unless agreed otherwise, and you are responsible for any taxes, currency-conversion costs, or bank fees that your side of the transaction incurs.
Accepted methods include card and bank transfer, supported payment processors, and, where arranged in advance, cryptocurrency. Available methods may change. You confirm that any payment instrument you use is yours to use and that the funds are lawful.
06The placement guarantee and replacements
Every placement carries a guarantee scoped to the things we actually control. In summary:
- If a link is removed or deindexed inside its window, we replace it at equal or higher authority.
- If a placement is not indexed and dofollow as specified, we fix it at no cost.
- If a placement is never published, you are refunded in full for that line.
The full terms, the length of the window, and the claim process live on our Guarantee page and our Refund & Guarantee Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. Where this page and those pages differ on the detail of a guarantee or refund, those pages govern. The scope of any replacement is bounded by what the underlying publisher actually offers; we capture each publisher's terms at the point we onboard the site and the guarantee on your order reflects them.
What the guarantee does not cover: a change in your search rankings, traffic, or revenue. We do not control the algorithm, and Section 10 explains why no honest broker can promise that we do.
07Refunds and cancellations
Because placement work begins on payment and involves committing funds to an independent publisher, refunds follow the stage the order has reached:
- Before placement begins. You may cancel an unstarted order for a full refund of that line.
- Never placed. If we are unable to publish a placement you paid for and you do not want a replacement, you receive a full refund for that line.
- In progress or live. Once content is commissioned, accepted by a publisher, or published, the order is no longer cancellable for convenience. At that point your remedy is the guarantee in Section 6 rather than a cash refund, except where required by law.
The Refund & Guarantee Policy sets out the detail, the timelines, and how a refund is returned. Refunds are issued to the original payment method where possible.
08Buyer obligations and acceptable use
You agree to use our services lawfully and in good faith. You are responsible for the content and the destination of the links you order, including their compliance with the law and with search-engine guidelines in your market. You agree not to order placements for, or links pointing to, content that is illegal, fraudulent, malicious, or prohibited under our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
You warrant that any target URL, anchor text, brand, or material you supply is yours to use or that you hold the rights and permissions needed to use it. We may refuse or stop work on any order that, in our reasonable judgment, breaches this section, and we are not obliged to refund work already performed on an order that breached it.
09Content and intellectual property
Where we or a publisher draft content for a placement, ownership of that published content typically rests with the publisher under that publisher's own terms, as is standard for guest posts. You receive the placement and the link, not a transfer of the host site or of editorial rights over it.
Any material you supply to us remains yours, and you grant us a limited license to use it for the purpose of fulfilling your order, including passing it to the relevant publisher. The ApexTech name, this website, its copy, and its design are our property and may not be copied or reused without permission. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right in a publisher's trademark or brand.
10Disclaimers
We sell verified placements. We do not sell rankings, and we will never tell you we can.
- No SEO-outcome guarantee. We do not guarantee any improvement in rankings, organic traffic, domain authority, conversions, or revenue. Anyone who guarantees a position on a search engine is selling a story. Search engines control their own algorithms and change them without notice.
- Third-party dependence. Placements live on sites we do not own. A publisher may redesign, restructure, sell, pause, or close their site, and may make editorial decisions we do not control. Our verification reduces this risk; it cannot eliminate it.
- Link decay is real. A large share of links on the web decay over time. That is the nature of the medium, not a defect in a placement. Our job, and the point of the window in Section 6, is to keep your placements live and clean while they are under coverage, not to pretend decay does not exist.
- Verification is a point-in-time snapshot. The metrics we report are accurate as of their stated date and drawn from third-party tools whose data we do not control. Site performance can move after verification.
The services and this website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. Statements outside Section 6 are not warranties.
11Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you arising out of or relating to an order or these Terms is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the specific order that gave rise to the claim.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, and we are not liable for lost profits, lost rankings, lost traffic, lost revenue, lost business, or loss of data, whether or not we were advised such losses were possible. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
12Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Apex Tech Solutions LLC and its officers and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms, your breach of the Acceptable Use Policy, the content or destination of links you order, or your infringement of any third party's rights. We will tell you promptly of any such claim and you may not settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.
13Chargebacks and disputes
If you believe an order was not delivered as agreed, contact us first. Most issues are a guarantee or replacement matter under Section 6 and are resolved quickly once we have the details. Raise a dispute with us before raising one with your payment provider.
Because we collect payment before committing our own funds to a publisher, a chargeback filed without first working through the process above is a breach of these Terms. Where a placement was delivered as specified, or where a valid replacement was offered and refused, we will contest the chargeback and submit our evidence, which may include the dated verification report, the quote and approval you accepted, the live URL, delivery confirmation, and our correspondence with you. You agree to cooperate in good faith to resolve any genuine dispute.
14Confidentiality
We never disclose your identity to a site owner. When we arrange a placement, the publisher does not learn who the buyer behind it is. Keeping the buyer anonymous protects your strategy and stops your targets from being pitched and burned. We treat your order details, target URLs, and contact information as confidential and use them only to fulfill your order and operate our service, as described in our Privacy Policy.
In return, the masked site details, verification reports, and pricing we share with you are confidential to us. You agree not to publish, resell, or redistribute our verification reports or the private domain names we disclose to you.
15Term and termination
These Terms apply for as long as you use our services or have an open order with us. We may suspend or end your access, decline future orders, or terminate this agreement if you breach these Terms, file an improper chargeback, or use the service in a way that creates legal or reputational risk for us. You may stop using the service at any time.
Termination does not affect any order already paid and in progress; those run to completion under the guarantee in Section 6. The sections that by their nature should survive, including Definitions, IP, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Confidentiality, Dispute Resolution, and Governing Law, survive termination.
16Force majeure
Our work depends on independent publishers, search engines, payment processors, and other parties we do not control. We are not in breach of these Terms, and we are not liable to you, for any delay or failure to perform that is caused by an event beyond our reasonable control. That includes a publisher closing, selling, redesigning, or refusing to publish; a site outage, hosting failure, or loss of indexation; a search-engine policy or algorithm change; a payment-processor or banking disruption; a cyberattack; a change in law; and acts of nature, war, or civil disruption.
If such an event prevents a placement from going live, we will work the problem under the guarantee in Section 6: a verified replacement of equal or higher standard, or, where the placement is never published, a full refund of that line. A force-majeure event does not excuse a payment already owed for work delivered, and it does not extend our obligations beyond what those sections set out.
17Dispute resolution
Almost every problem is faster to fix by talking to us first, and most are a guarantee or replacement matter under Section 6. Before either of us starts a formal proceeding, we both agree to a good-faith resolution step: the party with the concern sends the other a written description of the dispute and what would resolve it, by email in our case to [email protected], and we both try in good faith to settle it within thirty days. This step is a condition of bringing any formal claim, except where urgent relief is needed to protect a legal right.
If a dispute is not resolved within that period, it is settled by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration body in the governing jurisdiction named in Section 18, rather than in court. Each of us waives any right to a jury trial and agrees that disputes are brought individually, not as part of a class or representative action. Either of us may still bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court, and either of us may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information. The specific arbitration body and seat will be confirmed alongside the governing-law details below before these Terms take effect for paid orders.
18Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of governing state, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the dispute-resolution step in Section 17, you agree that any dispute that is heard in court rather than arbitration will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in governing state. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
Apex Tech Solutions LLC is registered at registered address. These details will be confirmed before these Terms take effect for paid orders.
19Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as our service develops or as the law requires. When we do, we change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and material changes apply to orders placed after they are posted. The terms that govern any given order are the ones in effect when you placed that order. Your continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
20Contact
Questions about these Terms, an order, or a dispute go to [email protected], and we reply within one business day. For formal legal notices, write to legal-notice contact at the registered address above.
You can also reach us through the contact page. The plainest path to a resolution is to email us before anything else; almost everything is faster to fix that way.
