Terms of Service | AI Local Biz

The short version

We build your website first. You pay $0 upfront. Billing of $99/month starts after you approve your site. Month-to-month. No contract. No setup fee. Love it or pay nothing.

These terms are the agreement between you and AI Local Biz ("we", "us"). By using AILocalBiz.com, requesting one of our free checks or signing up for a plan, you agree to them. If you sign up for a business, you confirm you have the authority to do so.

The service

Our plan is called AI Local Growth. It is one plan with everything included:

A custom website, designed, written and launched for you, or your current site rebuilt. There is no limit on the number of pages.
Unlimited edits. You send us a change and we make it.
Local SEO, which means the ongoing work on your site and around the web that gets you found on Google, including backlinks and local business listings.
Management of your Google Business Profile, and a system that brings in Google reviews.
AI search optimization for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews.
A new blog post every month.
Hosting, security, backups and maintenance.
Monthly reports on your rankings, Google Search Console and AI visibility.

What the plan doesn't cover

Managing paid ads, such as Google Ads or Meta Ads.
Online stores with more than a handful of products.
Custom software or booking-system development.

If you need one of these, ask us through the contact page and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.

Price and billing

We build first. We build your website before you pay. The upfront cost is $0.
When billing starts. Billing of $99/month starts after you approve your site. If you don't approve it, you pay nothing.
How you pay. You add a payment card at sign-up. Payments are handled by Stripe and are taken once a month, in advance, until you cancel.
Taxes. Sales tax is added where the law requires it.
Failed payments. If a payment fails, we will let you know and try again. If it stays unpaid, we may pause the service until it is sorted out.
Price changes. If the price of your plan changes, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before the new price applies. You can cancel before then.

No contract. Cancel anytime.

Month-to-month. No contract. No setup fee. There is no minimum term. You can cancel at any time by calling us, by emailing info@ailocalbiz.com, by replying to any of our emails or through the contact page.

When you cancel, we stop billing you. Your plan stays active until the end of the month you have already paid for, and then the monthly work and hosting stop.

What we need from you

Accurate information. Give us true, up-to-date details about your business, including your licences, service areas and contact details.
Rights to what you send us. You confirm that you own, or have permission to use, the logos, photos, text, reviews and other material you give us, and that we may use it to build and promote your website.
Timely answers. Review your site and answer our questions within a reasonable time, so we can launch and keep improving it.
Access. Give us the access we need to do the work, such as to your domain name and your Google Business Profile.
Your own rules. You are responsible for meeting the laws and licensing rules of your own trade, including what you say about your services.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use our site, our free tools or your website to:

Break the law or help anyone else break it.
Publish content that is false, misleading, hateful, or that infringes someone else's rights.
Post fake reviews or make claims about your business that you can't back up.
Send spam or collect people's information without their permission.
Attack, overload, copy or try to get around the security of our site and tools, or send requests to our free tools through automated scripts.

We may refuse or remove content that breaks these rules, and pause the service if the problem is serious.

Third-party services

We use other companies to deliver the service, including Stripe for payments, Cloudflare for hosting and security, and Google for search, maps and analytics. Their own terms apply to their services. We aren't responsible for changes, outages or decisions made by those companies.

Search engines and AI tools are run by third parties that decide their own results, and we don't control them.

Who owns what

Yours. Your business name, your logo, your domain name and the content you give us stay yours. You give us permission to use them to build, host and promote your website while you are a customer.
Ours. Our own tools, templates, code, methods and the AILocalBiz.com site stay ours, along with the AI Local Biz name and logo.
Your website when you cancel. Your domain name is yours and you keep it. The website we built stays with us: it comes down when your plan ends.

Unless you ask us not to, we may show your website and results as an example of our work. We ask before we publish a review or a case study with your name on it.

Our free tools

When you request the AI Visibility Check or another free check, we run it and send you the results. The results are a snapshot taken at the time we run the check. AI tools can give different answers to the same question on different days. Use the results as a guide for your marketing. Only request a check on a business you own or have permission to act for.

Our responsibility to you

We will do the work in your plan with reasonable skill and care. Beyond what these terms say, the site and the service are provided as they are, without any other promises, to the extent the law allows.

To the extent the law allows:

We are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or other indirect losses that come from using the site or the service.
Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or takes away rights you have under the consumer protection laws where you live.

If someone makes a claim against us because of content you supplied or because you broke these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs from that claim.

Ending the service

You can end the service at any time by cancelling. We can end it by giving you 30 days' notice. We can pause or end it sooner if a payment stays unpaid or if you break these terms in a serious way. The parts of these terms that are meant to last, such as who owns what and the limits on liability, continue after the service ends.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service or the law changes. When we do, we change the date at the top of this page. If a change affects your plan in a real way, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you keep using the service after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree with them, you can cancel.

Governing law

These terms, and any dispute about them or about the service, are handled under the laws of the place where AI Local Biz is established, and by the courts there. This doesn't take away any rights you have under the mandatory laws of the place where you live. If you have a problem, talk to us first. Most things can be sorted out with a conversation.
