PageOptimizer Pro may implement fraud-protection measures anytime including, without limitation, temporarily charging small amounts to validate your credit card and authorization.

You may cancel at any time by selecting the cancel button on your Profile page. Cancellation does not entitle you to any refund whatsoever. You will continue to have access to the Sites and Services you have paid for until the end of your subscription term, but will lose access if the subscription is not in good standing.

(5.1) No Refunds. After the first seven (7) days of a user's subscription period, PageOptimizer Pro will not provide any refunds, at any time. If you cancel your subscription, PageOptimizer Pro is not obligated to refund fees for any portion of your subscription term. If you choose to downgrade your subscription during your subscription term, you may be entitled to pay a lower, prorated amount as of the date of renewal, but you are not entitled to any refund at any time.
(6.) Multiple Subscriptions. Each subscription has a credit card associated with it. If a subscription is suspended for inability to process that credit card, and you subscribe to a second PageOptimizer Pro Service while that first Service is suspended (e.g. changing the credit card for the new subscription) but before the original subscription is canceled, PageOptimizer Pro may use the valid payment credit card for the second subscription to reinitiate the suspended Service.
(7.) Single Credit Card / PayPal account. Multiple accounts may not use the same credit card or PayPal account. If two accounts are found using the same credit card or PayPal account, both accounts may be suspended or canceled without notice.

Users may not continuously query PageOptimizer Pro for keywords that they do not intend for optimization. Any accounts found in violation of fair use may be suspended or canceled without notice. The Fair Use Policy governs the usage limitations imposed by POP on users subscribed to ‘unlimited usage’ plans, namely the Unlimited Single User and Team plans. These users shall be subject to the discretionary determination of what POP considers to be 'fair usage'. Under the Unlimited Plans, adherence to fair usage entails abstaining from exceeding a maximum of 450 page runs within a consecutive 90-day period. For users subscribed to Team plans, fair usage compliance necessitates refraining from surpassing a maximum of 900 page runs within the same 90-day duration. In the event of the initial violation of the fair use policy, the user's account will be issued a warning. Subsequent infractions will result in the termination of the user's account.
(10.) Sharing Accounts. Single user accounts may not be shared by multiple users. Teams accounts may only be used by users that are on the same team, typically in the same company. Users who would otherwise be on single accounts may not join together in a Teams plan. Accounts found in violation of sharing accounts may be suspended or canceled without notice.
(11.) Excessive Use. While some subscriptions come with unlimited access, unlimited access does not mean unlimited use of the tool. Excessive and/or unreasonable use of the tool may result in accounts being limited, suspended or canceled. Excessive use will be determined by PageOptimizer Pro on a case by case basis. PageOptimizer Pro will be the sole decider on what is or is not excessive use. Accounts suspected of excessive use may be asked to demonstrate how they are using the tool. Nonresponsiveness to requests may result in suspension or cancellation without notice.

With respect to any personal data (as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] [EU] 2016/679 and any other applicable data protection legislation) (“Personal Data”) which PageOptimizer Pro processes on your behalf, PageOptimizer Pro does not process any Personal Data as a part of its core function. Thus, PageOptimizer Pro is more typically the Data Controller and is not a Data Processor to Personal Data in which you are a Data Controller. However, in the unlikely event that you believe PageOptimizer Pro is a Data Processor to you as a Data Controller, please contact PageOptimizer Pro at support@pageoptimizer.pro, and PageOptimizer Pro can consider if it is necessary under applicable law for you to appoint PageOptimizer Pro as a Data Processor pursuant to an appropriate Data Processor agreement/addendum.
17. Termination
Upon termination of Services, any payment liabilities owed to PageOptimizer Pro and accrued prior to the effective date of the termination will survive.

18. Miscellaneous Clauses
A. Changes to Services. PageOptimizer Pro may change any Sites or Services from time to time, with or without notice, by adding, modifying, suspending, or discontinuing features of such Sites or Services. Your access to and use of any Sites or Services depends on you complying with any applicable laws or this TOS.
B. Force Majeure. Neither you nor PageOptimizer Pro will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this TOS if the delay or failure is due to circumstances beyond such party’s reasonable control. The affected party will notify the other party of such event and resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
D. Notices. If PageOptimizer Pro must send you additional information regarding the TOS or any Sites or Services, you consent to receiving this information electronically. PageOptimizer Pro may provide required information to you by email at any address you registered with the Sites or Services or via posting on the Sites or Services. Notices provided to you via email are effective on the transmission date. You will provide PageOptimizer Pro any written notice under this TOS by email to support@pageoptimizer.pro.
E. Forum and Jurisdiction. This TOS is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Washington, USA to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises from this TOS.
F. Additional Rights and Obligations. This TOS shall neither obligate PageOptimizer Pro, nor provide any rights, to any third-party whatsoever as an intended third-party beneficiary under this TOS. You and PageOptimizer Pro are independent contractors without authority to bind each other or to make any representations on behalf of the other party, and you and PageOptimizer Pro shall not be held to be partners or co-venturers. If any provision of this TOS is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be held superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision; the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Any party's failure to act with respect to a breach of this TOS does not constitute a waiver or affect that party's rights to act subsequently. You may not assign rights or delegate any duties under this TOS without prior written notice to and consent by PageOptimizer Pro. This TOS will bind any permitted successors and permitted assigns.
G. Entire Agreement. The TOS (along with the Privacy Policy, PageOptimizer Pro Community Etiquette, and any Subscriber agreement or other agreement accepted by you and an authorized representative of PageOptimizer Pro that is incorporated by reference into the TOS) constitutes the entire agreement between you and PageOptimizer Pro and governs your access to and use of any Sites or Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and PageOptimizer Pro (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the TOS). In no case shall any terms on a purchase order or other non-PageOptimizer Pro ordering document from you apply to, in addition to, or otherwise be included in the provisions of this TOS without PageOptimizer Pro’s prior written consent and agreement. No modification of this TOS is binding unless it is in writing and signed by you and PageOptimizer Pro.
