    Services are billed quarterly. There are no annual lock-ins. Pricing tiers and service inclusions are described at xeo.works/how-it-works. Quoted fees are in USD.

    Payment Terms:

    • Payment for each quarter is due at the start of that quarter
    • Payment constitutes acceptance of these terms
    • Invoices are payable within 3 days of issue unless otherwise agreed in writing

    Your Responsibilities:

    Intellectual Property

    Your Content

    You retain all rights to your business name, trademarks, products, and proprietary information. You grant us a limited license to use these materials solely to deliver agreed-upon services.

    Our Work Product

    SEO strategies, content frameworks, keyword research, schema implementations, and other deliverables created specifically for your engagement become your property upon full payment.

    We retain the right to use anonymized, aggregated data and general methodologies for marketing and research purposes, provided no confidential business information is disclosed.

    Tools and Processes

    Our proprietary processes, frameworks (including the Pipeline Gap, Dual-Index Strategy, Entity Authority Stack, and 5-Step AEO Framework), templates, and business methodologies remain our intellectual property.

    Limitation of Liability

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

    We are not liable for:

    • Specific search rankings, organic traffic volumes, or AI search citation outcomes
    • Search engine algorithm changes, ranking fluctuations, or de-indexing events outside our control
    • Third-party service failures (analytics platforms, CMS providers, hosting providers)
    • Lost profits, lost revenue, or business interruption
    • Indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages

    Our total liability for any claim related to our services shall not exceed the total fees you paid for the specific service engagement giving rise to the claim.

    • Specific search rankings, organic traffic levels, or AI citation rates
    • That SEO or AEO efforts will produce profitable outcomes for your specific business
    • Outcomes dependent on factors outside our control (search algorithm changes, market conditions, product-market fit, competitor actions)

    Confidentiality

    Both parties agree to:

    • Keep confidential information disclosed during the engagement private
    • Use confidential information only for purposes of the service engagement
    • Not disclose confidential information to third parties without consent

    Quarterly retainer fees are earned as work is performed throughout the quarter. For project-based engagements, fees are earned as milestones are completed.

    If you are unsatisfied with services, we will work in good faith to address concerns. However, refunds are not available for:

    • Change of mind or business direction
    • Search ranking or traffic outcomes (these depend on factors outside our direct control)

    If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in Wyoming, USA under the American Arbitration Association's Commercial Arbitration Rules. Each party bears their own costs. Arbitrator's decision is final and binding.

    Exceptions:

    Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property disputes or confidentiality breaches.

    • Government actions or regulations
    • Search engine algorithm changes or major platform disruptions
    • Internet or technology infrastructure failures

    Independent Contractor

    KMF Ventures LLC is an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.

    Assignment

    You may not assign or transfer these terms or your service engagement without our written consent. We may assign these terms to a successor business entity.

    Severability

    If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

    Entire Agreement

    These terms, together with any signed service agreements or statements of work, constitute the entire agreement between parties and supersede all prior discussions or agreements.

    Modifications

    We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be posted with an updated effective date. Continued use of services after changes constitutes acceptance.

    Existing service engagements are governed by the terms in effect when services began.
