Terms of Service and Free Trial Agreement

These Terms of Service include general terms governing use of the HoneyVectors Website and Services, together with additional terms in Section 6 that govern the Free Trial. The Free Trial terms and the general Service terms are intended to be read together, so that the same document covers both the Free Trial and any ongoing Services that follow.

1. Introduction

1.1 Agreement

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and HoneyVectors (“HoneyVectors,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of https://honeyvectors.com/ (the “Website”) and any products or services offered by HoneyVectors. HoneyVectors’ services may include, without limitation:

• website and digital presence audits;
• AI visibility and AI search audits;
• search engine optimization (“SEO”);
• answer engine optimization (“AEO”);
• generative engine optimization (“GEO”);
• website strategy and implementation;
• content and technical recommendations;
• digital marketing and lead-generation consulting;
• analytics, research, reports, and recommendations;
• website modifications or optimization services;
• consulting and advisory services;
• AI site assistant and answer-engine tools, including whitelabeled AI site assistants;
• knowledge/data network (“KDN”) publishing, credits, and related outputs;
• semantic topic graphs, watchlist monitoring, voice-share analytics, and gap analysis;
• the Free Trial and other trial or evaluation programs;
• free or promotional audits;

(collectively, the “Services”).

1.2 Acceptance

1.3 Additional Agreements

Certain Services may also be governed by a proposal, order form, statement of work, service agreement, Free Trial agreement, invoice, or other written agreement between you and HoneyVectors (each, a “Service Order”). The Free Trial agreement describing the Free Trial (including its scope, included capabilities, start and end dates, and any post-trial pricing) is a Service Order for purposes of these Terms. If there is a direct conflict between these Terms and a Service Order signed or otherwise expressly accepted by both parties, the Service Order will control with respect to that conflict.

1.4 Changes to These Terms

Your continued use of the Website or Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Terms in effect when you enter into a specific Service Order, including the Free Trial, will continue to govern that Service Order except as required by applicable law or as the parties otherwise agree in writing. You will be updated if any changes are made to the terms you originally agreed upon.

You are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and timely information reasonably necessary for HoneyVectors to perform the Services.

4.2 Access and Permissions

Where Services require access to a website, analytics account, search console, content-management system, advertising account, hosting provider, business profile, or other Third-Party Service, you represent that you have authority to grant HoneyVectors such access. You are responsible for providing the access, credentials, and cooperation reasonably necessary for HoneyVectors to perform the done-for-you install and other setup activities under the Free Trial within the Free Trial Period.

4.4 Review and Approval

You are responsible for reviewing Deliverables and recommendations before implementation where approval is reasonably possible. You remain responsible for business decisions made based on our Services, recommendations, analyses, or Deliverables.

4.5 Compliance

Client is responsible for determining whether its website, advertising, content, claims, marketing practices, data collection, privacy practices, and other business activities comply with applicable laws and industry requirements. Unless expressly stated in a Service Order, HoneyVectors does not provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, medical, or regulatory-compliance advice

5. Audits and Recommendations

5.1 Nature of an Audit

HoneyVectors may provide free or paid audits examining matters such as:

• website visibility;
• SEO;
• AI-search visibility;
• AEO or GEO readiness;
• technical website structure;
• content;
• conversion opportunities;
• structured data;
• user experience;
• search discoverability;
• website authority;
• lead-generation opportunities; and
• other marketing or technical factors.

Audits represent our analysis based on information reasonably available to us at the time the audit is prepared.

5.2 Recommendations Are Not Guarantees

Recommendations reflect professional judgment and are not guarantees that implementing any recommendation will produce a specific outcome. Search engines, AI systems, consumer behavior, competitors, algorithms, websites, and market conditions change continuously. Accordingly, an audit may become outdated after it is delivered.

5.3 Free Audits

Free audits, evaluations, consultations, or promotional Services may be limited in scope and are provided for informational and marketing purposes. HoneyVectors is not obligated to perform implementation work or provide ongoing support merely because a free audit or consultation was provided.

6. Free Trial

This Section 6 sets out the additional terms that govern the Free Trial. These terms apply in addition to the rest of these Terms. If there is a direct conflict between this Section 6 and another provision of these Terms with respect to the Free Trial, this Section 6 controls for the Free Trial; and if there is a direct conflict between this Section 6 and a signed Free Trial agreement, that Service Order controls to the extent of the conflict.

6.1 Nature of the Free Trial

The Free Trial is a focused, time-limited promotional program designed to make the Client’s brand more visible, discoverable, and measurable in AI-driven search. The applicable Free Trial agreement sets out the commercial terms for the Free Trial.

6.2 Free Trial Period

The Free Trial Period begins on a mutually agreed start date and ends on the corresponding end date. The Free Trial provides the included capabilities listed in Section 6.3 for the Free Trial Period only. The start date and end date are recorded in the applicable Free Trial agreement or execution block. The Free Trial does not automatically renew or convert into a paid subscription (see Section 6.6)..

6.3 What Is Included in the Free Trial

Subject to these Terms and the applicable Free Trial agreement, the Free Trial includes the following capabilities for the Free Trial Period, in each case up to the stated Usage Allotments:

• a visual semantic topic graph of the Client’s site;
• a whitelabeled AI site assistant;
• 20,000 assistant queries;
• 2,000 Watchlist items (questions, phrases, competitors, influencers, and media);
• voice-share analytics;
• gap analysis from real queries;
• KDN published on the Client’s domain;
• 20,000 KDN credits;
• 10 included users;
• professional done-for-you install;
• dedicated support via Slack;
• 10,000 page retrieves; and
• 5 years of historical data.

The specific quantities, features, and configuration of the Free Trial are as described in the applicable Free Trial agreement, which controls if it states different or additional details.

6.4 Promotional Nature and Scope Limits

The Free Trial is provided on a promotional basis. Except as expressly stated in the applicable Free Trial agreement, the Free Trial is limited to the capabilities and Usage Allotments described in Section 6.3, and HoneyVectors is not obligated to provide additional capabilities, usage beyond the Usage Allotments, implementation work, or ongoing support merely because the Free Trial was provided. Usage beyond the Usage Allotments, additional features, and any continuation of the Services are governed by a separate written agreement between the parties.

6.5 No Guarantee of Free Trial Results

The Free Trial is an evaluation program. In addition to Section 9 (No Guarantee of Results), the Client acknowledges that HoneyVectors does not guarantee any particular result, outcome, level of AI-search visibility, citation, ranking, traffic, lead, or business outcome from the Free Trial, and that results observed during the Free Trial Period may not be representative of future performance.

6.6 Conversion to Paid Services and Post-Trial Pricing

The Free Trial does not automatically convert into a paid subscription, and HoneyVectors will not charge the Client for post-trial Services unless and until the Client provides written confirmation of the final price, billing term, and scope. Any post-trial subscription continues only after that written confirmation. After the promotional period, pricing will depend on the final scope, usage, and selected options. The expected monthly price is between $299 and $1299, with a small discount available when paid annually. These figures are estimates for planning purposes and are not a binding quote; the final post-trial price and billing term will be as confirmed in writing by the parties. Once confirmed, the paid Services are governed by these Terms and the applicable Service Order, including the fee and payment terms in Section 10.

6.7 End of Free Trial and Data Handling (Site Data Retention)

At the end of the Free Trial Period, if the parties do not enter into a written agreement for continued Services, HoneyVectors may discontinue, disable, or remove Free Trial capabilities, including the whitelabeled AI site assistant and KDN publishing, and may cease processing associated with the Free Trial. HoneyVectors will return all data to the Client as Markdown if requested. Any continued use, access, storage, or deletion of that data will be governed by the parties’ written agreement and applicable terms. This Section 6.7 operates together with Section 14 (Privacy and Data).

6.8 Free Trial Deliverables and Intellectual Property

Deliverables produced during the Free Trial are subject to Section 12 (Intellectual Property). HoneyVectors retains ownership of HoneyVectors Materials used to provide or produce Free Trial capabilities and Deliverables, including the AI site assistant technology, KDN systems, semantic-graph and analytics methodologies, and related tools. Any license to Free Trial Deliverables is limited to the Free Trial Period and the promotional purpose of the Free Trial unless the parties agree otherwise in writing as part of a paid engagement.

6.9 Client Cooperation

To enable HoneyVectors to deliver the Free Trial within the Free Trial Period, the Client will provide timely access, credentials, approvals, and cooperation as described in Section 4, including access reasonably necessary for the done-for-you install and for publishing KDN on the Client’s domain.

7. Artificial Intelligence and AI Search

7.1 Use of AI-Enabled Tools

HoneyVectors may use AI Tools to assist with research, analysis, content development, technical analysis, brainstorming, automation, summarization, data processing, quality assurance, and other aspects of the Services.

7.2 AI Limitations

You acknowledge that artificial-intelligence systems may:

• produce inaccurate information;
• omit relevant information;
• generate inconsistent results;
• interpret information incorrectly;
• produce similar outputs for different users;
• change behavior without notice; or
• rely on incomplete or outdated information.

HoneyVectors will review AI-assisted work before delivery when appropriate, but no AI-assisted output should be understood as infallible.

7.3 Human Review

Client should independently review material decisions, claims, factual statements, recommendations, and content before relying upon or publishing them.

7.4 AI Search Visibility

HoneyVectors may provide Services intended to improve the likelihood that a business, website, brand, person, product, or service is understood, retrieved, referenced, surfaced, cited, or recommended by AI-powered search and answer systems. However, HoneyVectors does not control any third-party AI model or answer engine and cannot guarantee:

• inclusion in AI-generated responses;
• citations or mentions;
• placement within AI answers;
• recommendation by an AI system;
• persistence of a citation or answer;
• indexing;
• retrieval frequency;
• traffic generated by AI systems; or
• any business outcome resulting from AI-search visibility.

8.1 No Control Over Third Parties

HoneyVectors does not own or control search engines, social networks, AI platforms, advertising networks, analytics providers, website platforms, hosting providers, or other Third-Party Services. Changes made by these companies may affect Client’s website, visibility, rankings, traffic, leads,

analytics, or performance.

8.2 Algorithm Changes

Search engines and AI platforms may change their algorithms, ranking systems, indexing systems, retrieval methods, policies, interfaces, or technical requirements at any time. HoneyVectors is not responsible for adverse effects caused by such changes.

8.3 Third-Party Terms

Your use of Third-Party Services remains subject to the terms, policies, privacy practices, and requirements of the applicable third party. HoneyVectors is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, performance, policies, actions, or omissions of Third-Party Services.

8.4 Third-Party Costs

Unless expressly included in a Service Order, fees charged by Third-Party Services are Client’s responsibility. If any third party fees are required for services a decision to utilize will be discussed with the client prior to moving forward.

9. No Guarantee of Results

Digital marketing, SEO, AEO, GEO, website optimization, conversion optimization, content strategy, AI-search visibility, and similar Services involve variables outside HoneyVectors’ control. Accordingly, HoneyVectors does not guarantee any particular result, including:

• Google rankings;
• search visibility;
• AI-search visibility;
• citations by ChatGPT or another AI platform;
• organic traffic;
• website traffic;
• leads;
• inquiries;
• appointments;
• sales;
• conversion rates;
• customer acquisition costs;
• revenue;
• profitability;
• return on investment;
• market share; or
• business growth.

Any estimates, projections, opportunities, examples, case studies, benchmarks, or forecasts are illustrative only and are not promises of future performance.

10. Fees and Payment

10.1 Fees

Fees for paid Services will be stated on the Website, invoice, proposal, checkout page, subscription page, or applicable Service Order.

10.2 Free Trial and Promotional Fees

The Free Trial is provided on a promotional basis as described in Section 6, and any fee (or the absence of a fee) for the Free Trial is as stated in the applicable Free Trial agreement. Post-trial and ongoing fees apply only after the Client’s written confirmation of the final price, billing term, and scope, as described in Section 6.6.

10.3 Payment Authorization

By purchasing Services, you authorize HoneyVectors and its payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for all amounts due.

10.4 Recurring Services

Recurring Services will continue until cancelled in accordance with the applicable Service Order or these Terms.

10.5 Late Payments

HoneyVectors may suspend work or Services where an invoice is overdue. Client is responsible for reasonable collection costs associated with undisputed amounts that remain unpaid, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Fees are exclusive of applicable sales, use, excise, or similar taxes unless otherwise stated. Client is responsible for applicable taxes associated with the purchase of Services, except taxes imposed on HoneyVectors’ net income.

11. Cancellation, Refunds, and Termination

11.1 Cancellation

Cancellation terms for a specific project, retainer, subscription, or Service will be stated in the applicable Service Order where applicable.

11.2 Ending the Free Trial

Either party may end the Free Trial before the end of the Free Trial Period on written notice. The Free Trial ends automatically at the end of the Free Trial Period unless the parties have agreed in writing to continue the Services. Ending or expiration of the Free Trial is governed by Section 6.7 with respect to data handling and discontinuation of Free Trial capabilities.

11.3 Work Already Performed

Unless otherwise stated in writing, amounts paid for Services already performed, work already begun, reserved capacity, research completed, Deliverables produced, or third-party expenses incurred are non-refundable to the extent permitted by applicable law.

11.4 Promotional and Free Services

HoneyVectors may discontinue or modify free audits, trials, promotional offers, the Free Trial, or complimentary Services at any time.

11.5 Suspension or Termination by HoneyVectors

HoneyVectors may suspend or terminate Services if:

1. Client fails to make required payments;

2. Client materially breaches these Terms or a Service Order;

3. Client requests or engages in activity that HoneyVectors reasonably believes is unlawful,

fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or likely to expose HoneyVectors to liability;

4. Client fails to provide information, access, approvals, or cooperation reasonably necessary to

complete the Services; or

5. continuing the engagement would create an unreasonable security, reputational, legal, or

operational risk.

11.6 Effect of Termination

Termination does not eliminate amounts owed for Services performed or expenses incurred before termination. Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions—will survive termination.

12. Intellectual Property

12.1 HoneyVectors Materials

HoneyVectors retains ownership of HoneyVectors Materials incorporated into or used to produce those Deliverables.

For Deliverables provided under the Free Trial, any license is subject to Section 6.8.

Deliverables may incorporate or rely on third-party content, software, technology, fonts, stock materials, open-source components, AI systems, or other materials subject to separate licenses. Ownership and use of such materials remain subject to applicable third-party terms.

12.4 Portfolio and Client Identification

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, HoneyVectors may identify Client’s name and logo in a factual client list or portfolio.
