Terms & Conditions and Privacy

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you", "your", or "User") and AEO.page ("AEO", "we", "us", or "our"), the operator of the website at aeo.page and its associated tools, applications, APIs, and services (together, the "Service"). By accessing or using any part of the Service — including simply browsing the website, running any free tool, entering your email address, or subscribing to a paid plan — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our privacy practices set out in Section 7. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Service.

2. Definitions

• "Free Tools" means the no-charge utilities we make available, including the AEO Audit, Schema Generator, ROI Calculator, AEO Readiness Quiz, AI Crawlability Tester, LLMs.txt Generator, and any similar tools.
• "Platform" means our paid and account-based products and services for optimizing and monitoring how websites are represented in AI answer engines.
• "Input" means any URL, domain, text, file, or other data you submit to the Service.
• "Output" means any score, report, recommendation, generated markup, calculation, or other result the Service returns.

3. The Website, Free Tools & Platform

The Service helps website owners understand and improve how their content may be discovered and cited by AI Engines. We may add, change, suspend, or remove any feature, tool, or part of the Service at any time. We do not guarantee that the Service, any tool, or any specific result will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or retained.

4. Free Tools — informational only, no guarantees

The Free Tools and their Output are provided for general informational purposes only. Scores, grades, "readiness" percentages, recommendations, generated schema/markup, and estimates are automated, heuristic, and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date. In particular:

• We do not guarantee any particular outcome — including that your site will be crawled, indexed, ranked, cited, mentioned, or recommended by any AI Engine or search engine, or that any score will improve.
• AI Engines and their algorithms are controlled by third parties and change frequently and without notice. We have no control over, and make no representation about, how they treat your content.
• Output is a starting point, not a substitute for your own review and testing. Any code, markup, or file we generate is provided "as is" and you are responsible for validating and implementing it correctly.
• You are responsible for any actions you take, or refrain from taking, based on the Output.

5. Acceptable use & your responsibilities

You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

• submit a domain, URL, or content that you do not own or are not authorized to test, analyze, or submit;
• use the Service to violate any law or regulation, or to infringe the rights of any third party;
• abuse, overload, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure, including via automated scraping, scanning, or excessive requests, or by circumventing rate limits, security, or access controls;
• submit unlawful, harmful, defamatory, or malicious content, or personal data of others without a lawful basis and their consent;
• resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Free Tools or their Output without our written permission;
• reverse engineer, copy, or create derivative works of the Service except as permitted by law.

You are solely responsible for your Input, for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials, and for all activity under your account or email.

6. Accounts, plans & payment

Some features require an account or a paid subscription. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. Fees, billing cycles, and plan terms are as described at the point of purchase. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable. We may change pricing prospectively with reasonable notice. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of paid features.

7. Privacy & personal data (including the email you enter)

We take data seriously. This section explains what personal data we collect and how we use it. By using the Service — including entering your email to run a Free Tool — you consent to the practices described here.

• Usage & technical data, such as which tool you used, timestamps, approximate location derived from your IP address (e.g., city and country), browser/user-agent, and similar diagnostics.
• Cookies / local storage used to remember your email so you don't have to re-enter it, and to operate and improve the Service.

Legal basis & consent

Where required, we rely on your consent (which you give by submitting your email and using the tool) and on our legitimate interest in operating and marketing the Service. You may withdraw consent to marketing at any time; this will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Sharing & processors

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf to run the Service (for example, cloud hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers such as Cloudflare), under obligations of confidentiality, and where required by law or to protect our rights.

Retention

We retain personal data for as long as needed to provide the Service, for legitimate business and legal purposes, and thereafter delete or anonymize it. You may request deletion as described below.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law (including the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA where they apply), you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and opt out of marketing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 17. We will respond within the time required by law.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
