Backlinks terms of sale

1. Purpose and scope

These terms of sale (the "Terms") govern the purchase of backlink packages (the "Service") offered by TECHINS8, SAS (French simplified joint-stock company), whose registered office is at 60 rue François-Ier, 75008 Paris, France, registered under 938 964 061 RCS Paris ("PushRank", "we"), by any customer holding a PushRank account (the "Customer").

The Service consists in obtaining, on the Customer's behalf, hyperlinks pointing to their website, published within articles on third-party websites selected by PushRank. It is sold as closed packages, by one-off purchase. It is not a subscription: nothing renews automatically.

Purchasing a package constitutes full acceptance of the version of the Terms in force at the time of the order, which is recorded with the sale. The Terms supplement the PushRank platform terms of use, which continue to apply to everything they do not cover.

2. What a package includes

Each package entitles the Customer to a set number of links, split between two quality tiers: "standard" links and "premium" links. The number of links of each tier is shown on the purchase page before any payment and cannot be changed after the order.

The tiers differ by the minimum selection criteria of the publishing websites (domain authority, topic, article length). A link of one tier cannot be converted into a link of another tier, nor two standard links into one premium link.

A link includes an article written by us or by our partners, its publication on a third-party website, and the insertion of a link to the destination address agreed with the Customer, with the agreed anchor text.

3. Prices and payment

Package prices are displayed in euros, excluding taxes. Applicable value-added tax is calculated at payment time according to the Customer's country and status, and appears on the invoice.

Payment is due in full at the time of the order. It is made online by card through our payment provider. The package's links are credited to the Customer's account as soon as the payment is confirmed, and become visible in their workspace.

PushRank may change its prices at any time. The price applicable to an order is the price displayed when the order is placed.

4. How the Service is delivered

After the purchase, PushRank offers the Customer a strategy call of about fifteen minutes, meant to decide which pages of their website to strengthen and which anchor texts to use. This call is complimentary. It is not a contractual obligation of PushRank, is not part of the package price, and gives no right to compensation or refund if it does not take place, for whatever reason.

Links are ordered by PushRank, on the Customer's behalf, based on the agreed pages and anchors. The Customer does not place orders themselves and has no access to the publishing providers.

Unless the Customer asks otherwise, the publication of the links of a single package is spread over time, at a rate of roughly one link per week. This spreading is a precaution intended to protect the Customer's website; it does not commit PushRank to a precise schedule.

5. Choice of publishing websites

The choice of the websites on which links are published belongs exclusively to PushRank. The Customer does not choose the publishing website, cannot impose one, and cannot reject a website after publication solely because they would not have chosen it themselves.

PushRank selects websites according to the topic of the Customer's website and the minimum criteria of the purchased tier. It is this selection, not the Customer's choice, that allows PushRank to answer for the quality of the links.

PushRank does not guarantee that a given publishing website will be available, nor that a link will be published on a specific website, even if that website was mentioned during the strategy call.

6. Content, anchors and destination addresses

The Customer provides, or confirms during the strategy call, the destination addresses and the anchor text of each link. The Customer warrants that they are entitled to promote those addresses and that their content complies with the law and third-party rights.

PushRank may refuse, without having to justify itself, any anchor or destination address it deems unlawful, misleading, contrary to search engine guidelines, or likely to harm its reputation or that of the publishing websites. Gambling, illegal products, adult content and counterfeit goods are excluded in particular. If such a refusal occurs before any link has been ordered, the package is refunded in full.

The articles accompanying the links are written by PushRank or its partners. The Customer may not require to review or edit their text before publication, nor claim ownership of them.

7. Publication lead times

Each link is normally published within fifteen business days of being ordered by PushRank. This lead time is indicative. Exceeding it gives no right to compensation, but allows the Customer to request the cancellation of the link concerned and its re-crediting to their balance.

If a link is not published within sixty days of its order, PushRank replaces it with a link of the same tier or, failing that, re-credits the link to the Customer's balance.

8. Link lifetime

PushRank undertakes that each published link remains online for twenty-four months from its publication. A link removed or made inaccessible before that term by the publisher of the website is replaced, free of charge, by a link of the same tier published on another website selected by PushRank.

Replacement is the Customer's sole remedy in the event of early removal of a link. Beyond twenty-four months, the link is not guaranteed to remain and PushRank has no further obligation.

PushRank is not liable for changes made by the publisher to the technical attributes of the link, nor for changes to the publishing website that do not affect the accessibility of the link itself.

9. Package validity and unused links

The links of a package must be ordered within twelve months of the purchase date. When this period expires, unused links are permanently forfeited and give no right to a refund or credit note.

By exception, when links could not be ordered within this period solely because of PushRank, the validity of the package is extended by the time needed to order them.

The Customer can check at any time, from their workspace, the number of remaining links per tier and the status of each ordered link.

10. Replacement, credit note and refund

As the Service is a customised service performed on the Customer's behalf, a package is not refundable once at least one link has been ordered. The remaining links stay usable until the package expires.

A package of which no link has yet been ordered may be cancelled upon request to PushRank, which refunds it in full.

When a link could not be published or was removed before the end of the guaranteed lifetime, the Customer's remedy is the replacement of the link or, failing that, its re-crediting to the package balance. No cash refund is due in these cases. Any other request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

11. No guarantee of results

PushRank is bound by an obligation of means regarding the selection of websites and the publication of links. It guarantees no search engine optimisation result: neither an improvement of the Customer's rankings, nor an increase in traffic, nor any change in any authority metric.

The Customer acknowledges that the results obtained depend on many factors beyond PushRank's control, including search engine rules and algorithms, the quality of their own website and the actions of their competitors.

12. Subcontracting and liability

PushRank relies on website publishers, writers and third-party providers to perform the Service. It remains the Customer's sole point of contact and remains liable to the Customer for the proper performance of the Service, within the limits of these Terms.

PushRank's liability under a package is limited, all causes combined, to the amount excluding taxes actually paid for that package. PushRank is not liable for indirect damages, including loss of revenue, loss of customers, damage to image or any penalty imposed by a search engine.

PushRank is not responsible for the content of the publishing websites, their other links or their editorial changes, over which it has no control.

13. Business customers and right of withdrawal

The Service is reserved for professionals acting in the course of their business. By placing an order, the Customer declares that they act in that capacity. The right of withdrawal provided by consumer law therefore does not apply.

If, exceptionally, the Customer qualified as a consumer, they acknowledge requesting the performance of the Service as soon as their order is confirmed and waiving their right of withdrawal for any link ordered before the end of the statutory period.

14. Changes to the Terms

PushRank may amend these Terms. Each version bears the date on which it comes into force. The version applicable to an order is the one accepted by the Customer at the time of that order; later changes only apply to orders placed after they come into force.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute relating to their interpretation or performance shall be submitted, failing an amicable settlement, to the competent courts of Paris.

16. Contact

Any question about the Service or these Terms may be sent to PushRank through the platform's contact page, or by post to its registered office.
