Terms of Service

Effective 4 June 2026

The short version: You can use Ranklet to generate SEO content briefs. You pay for the plan you choose; you can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the period. You own the briefs we generate for you. Don't use Ranklet to spam, infringe, automate abuse, or resell it as your own platform. The service is provided "as is", and we don't guarantee specific search rankings, because nobody honestly can. Our liability is capped at the greater of CAD $100 or what you paid us in the last 12 months. Disputes are resolved under Ontario law in Ontario courts.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Ranklet, operated by Vasyl Moshchenko as a sole proprietor based in Ontario, Canada ("Ranklet", "we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Ranklet website at ranklet.io or the Ranklet web application (together, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, and Refund Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" in these Terms refers to that entity.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account or use the Service. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you also confirm that you are authorised to do so.

The Service is available worldwide except where prohibited by export-control or sanctions law. You agree not to use the Service if you are located in, or are a national or resident of, a country subject to comprehensive sanctions under Canadian, US, EU, or UK law, or if you are listed on any sanctions or restricted-party list maintained by those jurisdictions.

3. Your account

3.1 One account per person

Each Ranklet account is intended for a single human user. You may not share login credentials with anyone else, and you may not register multiple free accounts to circumvent usage limits. A team using Ranklet should use one account per person; if you need a team plan for shared workflows, contact [email protected].

3.2 Accurate information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when you sign up, and to keep that information updated. If the email on your account is wrong, you may miss material notices including changes to these Terms, security alerts, and billing failures, and we are not responsible for the consequences.

3.3 Account security

You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for all activity under your account. Use a strong, unique password. Do not reuse a password you use elsewhere. If you suspect your credentials have been compromised, change your password immediately and email [email protected] so we can help investigate. We will not be liable for losses caused by unauthorised use of your account that occurred before you notified us.

4. Description of the Service

Ranklet is an AI-powered SEO content brief generator. You enter a keyword and a target country; we fetch a live snapshot of the top Google search results for that query through a third-party SERP data provider and synthesise a structured content brief through a third-party AI inference provider, normally returned in under 30 seconds. Briefs are stored in your account so you can revisit, search, and export them.

The Service depends on third-party APIs (live Google search data, AI synthesis, payments via Stripe, transactional email, and cloud hosting). Their availability affects ours. We make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Service running, but we do not offer an uptime guarantee or service-level agreement (see Section 18). Specific subprocessor identities are described in our Privacy Policy and available upon request to [email protected].

We may add features, change features, or discontinue features. For material changes affecting paid plans, we give you 30 days' notice (see Section 16).

5. Subscription plans, billing, and renewals

5.1 Plans

  • Free: 3 briefs per month, no credit card required. Resets at the start of each calendar month. We may discontinue or change the Free tier with reasonable notice.
  • Starter: $29 per month (or $23 per month if billed annually). 20 briefs per billing cycle.
  • Pro: $79 per month (or $63 per month if billed annually). 100 briefs per billing cycle.
  • Overage packs: $9 for 10 additional briefs. Available on any paid plan. See Section 7.

All prices are in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Applicable sales tax, VAT, or GST will be added at checkout and shown on your invoice.

5.2 Auto-renewal

Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annual) on the same payment method, at the then-current price, until you cancel. We will email you a receipt for every successful charge.

5.3 Price changes

If we change the price of a paid plan, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before the new price applies to you. The new price takes effect at your next renewal after the notice period. If you do not agree to the new price, you can cancel before the new price takes effect; you will retain access until the end of your current period.

5.4 Failed payments

If your payment method fails on renewal, we will attempt to charge it again on a schedule managed by Stripe (typically a few retries over a few days). If all retries fail, your account drops to the Free plan until you update your payment method. Your past briefs remain accessible; you simply can't generate new ones beyond the Free quota.

5.5 Taxes and currency

You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies imposed by your local jurisdiction other than taxes based on our net income. Where we are legally required to collect sales tax, VAT, or GST, we will add it at checkout. Stripe handles currency conversion if your card is in a non-USD currency.

5.6 Changing your plan

You can change plans at any time from the Billing or Plans page. Upgrades (for example, Starter to Pro) take effect immediately. Downgrades (for example, Pro to Starter) take effect at the end of the current billing period: you keep your current plan and its brief allowance until that date, and there is no proration or partial credit for the unused portion. You can cancel a scheduled downgrade at any time before it takes effect and remain on your current plan. On the downgrade date, your subscription renews at the lower plan's price and brief allowance.

6. Free tier

The Free plan gives you 3 briefs per calendar month with no credit card required. Unused briefs do not roll over. The Free plan is intended for trial use; we may discontinue, change the allowance of, or restrict eligibility for the Free plan with reasonable notice (typically 30 days) by email and by notice in the app.

You may not create multiple Free accounts to extend your allowance. Doing so is a violation of these Terms and may result in account suspension (see Section 17).

7. Usage credits and overage packs

Each plan grants you a number of brief credits per billing cycle (the cycle's "allowance"). Generating a brief consumes one credit. Failed briefs are automatically refunded to your credit balance, so you do not pay for briefs that did not generate.

Unused allowance credits do not roll over to the next billing cycle.

If you run out of allowance credits before the next cycle, you can purchase an overage pack ($9 for 10 briefs) on any paid plan without upgrading tiers. Overage credits do not expire; they sit in your balance until used, even across billing cycles. Refund treatment of overage packs is described in our Refund Policy.

8. Cancellation

You can cancel a paid subscription at any time from the Billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You keep access to your paid features until that date, then your account drops to the Free plan and remains usable under Free-plan limits. Your past briefs remain accessible on the Free plan.

We do not pro-rate refunds for the remainder of a partial period. For specific exceptions and the annual-plan early-cancellation window, see the Refund Policy.

9. Refunds

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In summary: we do not pro-rate refunds for partial periods, failed briefs are auto-refunded as credits, and overage packs are non-refundable once any brief from the pack has been used.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to do any of the following, and not to help anyone else do them either:

  • Generate content for spam farms, doorway pages, scraper sites, link farms, parasite SEO operations, or any operation whose primary purpose is to manipulate search rankings in violation of Google's Spam Policies for Web Search.
  • Generate or facilitate the generation of mass-produced thin content that has no informational value to a human reader.
  • Generate content that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights.
  • Generate content that is defamatory, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or otherwise unlawful.
  • Generate content for the purpose of impersonating a real person or organisation without their consent.
  • Run automated tools, bots, scripts, or scrapers against the Service in a way not enabled by an official API we provide. (We do not currently offer a public API.)
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the extent that applicable law expressly prohibits this restriction.
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any usage limit, rate limit, plan allowance, free-tier eligibility, security control, or authentication mechanism.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or breach or otherwise circumvent any security or authentication measures. (If you are a good-faith security researcher and want to report a vulnerability, email [email protected] first.)
  • Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or white-label the Service as your own platform, or otherwise build a commercial offering whose primary value is access to the Service. You may resell the briefs themselves as part of your own SEO or content services (that's what most of our customers do); you may not resell access to Ranklet.
  • Use the Service to violate any applicable law, regulation, or rule of any jurisdiction.
  • Use the Service in a way that interferes with or disrupts the experience of other users.

We may, but are not obliged to, monitor for or investigate suspected violations. If we determine, at our reasonable discretion, that you have violated this Section, we may suspend or terminate your account under Section 17.

You may not use Ranklet to generate, request, or facilitate content that is illegal or that promotes serious harm — including instructions for manufacturing illegal drugs or weapons, sexual content involving minors, credible threats or incitement of violence, or content that facilitates self-harm.

We apply automated screening to submitted keywords and may refuse, block, or remove requests, and suspend or terminate accounts, that violate this policy or the usage policies of our underlying AI providers. This section supplements, and does not limit, the rest of these Terms.

11. Content ownership

11.1 Your briefs

You own the briefs we generate for you. We claim no authorship of and no copyright in the briefs themselves. You can use them, modify them, share them with writers, hand them to clients, paste them into a CMS, or resell them as part of your own content services. They are yours.

The only licence you grant us in the briefs is the limited, non-exclusive licence we need to operate the Service: to store them on your behalf, render them in your dashboard, export them when you ask, transmit them through our subprocessors as necessary to generate or retrieve them, and back them up. This licence ends when you delete a brief or close your account, except to the extent the brief persists in backups for the rolling window described in our Privacy Policy.

11.2 Keywords and inputs

You retain ownership of the keywords and other inputs you submit. You grant us the same limited operational licence described above for those inputs.

11.3 Aggregated and anonymised usage data

We may use aggregated and de-identified usage data (counts, summaries, trend signals, never personally identifiable) to operate, secure, debug, and improve the Service. For example: "the median brief takes 18 seconds to generate" or "Pro-plan users generate 4× more briefs than Starter-plan users" are aggregated metrics we may use without restriction. We will not re-identify aggregated data or attempt to do so.

11.4 No AI training on your content

We do not train AI models on your keywords, your briefs, or your other Service data. We pass keyword and SERP context to our AI inference provider solely to generate the brief you requested; per our agreement with that provider, the provider does not train on data submitted through its API.

12. Third-party content and accuracy of briefs

The Service synthesises information from live Google search results. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or lawfulness of third-party search results or of any AI-generated content. AI models can be wrong, can fabricate, can misattribute, and can produce content that requires editorial review.

You are responsible for reviewing and verifying every brief before relying on it, especially for facts, statistics, citations, and any legal, medical, financial, or other advice domain. The brief is a starting point for your work, not a finished, verified product.

13. Feedback licence

If you send us feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or feature requests, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Service or any other Ranklet product, without obligation to you and without crediting you. You waive any moral rights you may have in the feedback to the extent permitted by law.

14. Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party subprocessors, listed in our Privacy Policy. Their availability, performance, terms of service, and pricing affect ours. We are not responsible for failures, outages, or changes by those subprocessors. We will, however, refund your credits for briefs that fail due to our side or our subprocessors' side, on the terms of our Refund Policy.

If we materially change a subprocessor (replacing one with another for a different purpose, for example), we will update the Privacy Policy and, if the change is material to data protection, give you 30 days' notice as described in that policy.

15. Intellectual property

The Ranklet name, the Ranklet logo, the Ranklet website, the Ranklet web application, the source code, the visual design, the documentation, and all related materials are owned by Ranklet (or its licensors) and are protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose in accordance with these Terms. You receive no other rights in our intellectual property.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of any part of the Service or its underlying technology, except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law.

16. Modifications to the Service

We may add, modify, or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We aim to make changes that improve the Service. For material changes that adversely affect a feature you rely on under a paid plan, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email and by in-app notice before the change takes effect, and you may cancel before the change takes effect if you disagree.

"Material" means a change that meaningfully reduces functionality you are paying for. Adding features, fixing bugs, changing visual design, changing copy, optimising performance, swapping equivalent subprocessors, or making security changes are not material in this sense.

17. Termination

17.1 By you

You may cancel your paid subscription at any time (Section 8) and you may delete your account at any time from the Settings page. Account deletion triggers data deletion on the timeline described in our Privacy Policy.

17.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, if you abuse the Service or our subprocessors, if you fail to pay, if you commit fraud or attempt a chargeback in bad faith, if your use of the Service exposes us to legal risk, or if we are required to do so by law.

Where reasonable, we will give you notice and an opportunity to cure before suspending or terminating, especially for minor or first-time violations. We may suspend or terminate without prior notice where we reasonably believe the violation is severe (for example: fraud, security threat, court order, sanctions exposure, large-scale infringement, or where prior notice would itself cause harm).

17.3 Effect of termination

On termination, your right to access the Service ends immediately. We will delete your data on the timeline described in our Privacy Policy. You remain liable for any amounts owed up to the date of termination. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (Sections 11 on content ownership, 13 on feedback licence, 15 on intellectual property, 18 on disclaimers, 19 on limitation of liability, 20 on indemnification, 22 on governing law, 23 on dispute resolution, and 25 on miscellaneous) survive.

18. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
  • We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free of viruses or other harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.
  • We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, reliability, currency, or appropriateness of any brief, any SERP snapshot, any AI-generated content, or any other output of the Service. AI can be wrong; you must review.
  • We do not and cannot guarantee that any brief, any content you create from a brief, or any other use of the Service will improve your search rankings, your traffic, or any other business outcome. Search ranking depends on factors entirely outside our control, including Google's algorithms, your domain authority, the quality of your writing and execution, your competitors, link signals, technical SEO, and changes in user intent. Anyone who guarantees you specific rankings is lying.
  • To the extent a warranty cannot be disclaimed under applicable law, the duration of any such warranty is limited to the minimum period required by law.

19. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • Our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) CAD $100, or (b) the total fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
  • We are not liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunities, loss of goodwill, loss of data, business interruption, or cost of substitute services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort including negligence, statute, or otherwise) on which the claim is based.
  • These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (for example, in some jurisdictions, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, fraud, or personal injury), and they apply only to the extent permitted by such law.

You acknowledge that the price you pay for the Service reflects this allocation of risk. If the law of your jurisdiction does not permit some or all of these limitations, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by that law.

20. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ranklet, its operator, and any agents from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms;
  • The content you generate, publish, or distribute using briefs created on the Service, including any claim that such content infringes third-party rights or violates applicable law;
  • Your violation of any applicable law or third-party right; or
  • Your negligence or wilful misconduct.

We will tell you promptly of any claim subject to indemnification and let you control the defence and settlement, provided no settlement requires us to admit fault or pay money without our written consent. We may participate in the defence with our own counsel at our own expense.

This indemnification does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or breach of these Terms.

21. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, sanctions, pandemic, internet or telecommunications failure, failure of a critical third-party subprocessor, denial-of-service attack, or other causes of similar nature. The affected party will make reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.

22. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to Section 23, the courts of the Province of Ontario, sitting in Toronto, have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer resident in a jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, nothing in this Section deprives you of that right.

23. Dispute resolution: informal first

Before either party files a formal legal proceeding, the party with a complaint will send written notice to the other party describing the dispute and the relief sought, and the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through informal discussions for at least 30 days. Notice to Ranklet must be sent to [email protected]; notice to you will be sent to the email address associated with your account. Neither party may file a formal proceeding until the 30-day period has elapsed, except for proceedings seeking injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

24. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change (meaning a change that meaningfully affects your rights, our obligations, fees, the licence to your content, the dispute-resolution provisions, or the limitation of liability), we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email to the address on your account before the change takes effect. We will also update the "Effective" date at the top of this page.

For non-material changes (typo fixes, clarifications, formatting, structural reorganisation that does not change substance), we may make the change without prior notice but will still update the Effective date.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the change. If you do not agree, cancel your paid subscription and stop using the Service before the change takes effect.

25. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookies Policy, and the Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on that subject.
  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of substantially all of our assets, with notice to you.
  • No agency. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
  • Notices. Notices to you may be sent to the email address on your account; you are responsible for keeping that address current. Notices to us must be sent to [email protected].
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
  • Language. These Terms are drafted in English; any translation is for convenience only and the English version controls.
