3. Service Engagement
3.1 Proposals and Agreements: Services are provided based on mutually agreed proposals outlining scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. All engagements require a signed service agreement.

4.3 Expenses: Additional expenses such as third-party tools, subscriptions, or services required for project completion will be discussed and approved in advance.

We will not disclose confidential information to third parties except as required by law or with explicit client permission. Clients may request a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if desired.
7. Performance and Results
7.1 No Guarantees: While our methods are research-backed and proven effective, we cannot guarantee specific rankings, citation rates, or visibility outcomes in AI platforms, as these are controlled by third-party AI models and search engines.
7.2 Best Efforts: We commit to applying industry best practices and research-backed methodologies to achieve optimal results for each engagement.
7.3 External Factors: Performance may be affected by factors outside our control, including but not limited to algorithm changes, AI model updates, competitive landscape shifts, and client content quality.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, LLM Optimization shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
9. Termination
9.1 By Client: Clients may terminate services with 30 days written notice. Fees for completed work and work in progress are non-refundable.
9.2 By LLM Optimization: We reserve the right to terminate services if payment terms are violated, if the client breaches these Terms, or if continuing the engagement becomes impractical.
9.3 Effect of Termination: Upon termination, the client receives all completed deliverables, and outstanding invoices become immediately due.
10. Warranties and Disclaimers
Services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We warrant that services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards.

15. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on our website with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of services after changes constitutes acceptance of modified Terms. For active engagements, significant changes will be communicated directly to clients.
16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
