Last updated: June 11, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at searchbeyondgoogle.com(the "Site") and any digital marketing services ("Services") provided by Search Beyond Google ("we," "us," or "our"), based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

By accessing the Site or engaging our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or engage our Services.

1. Use of the Website

1.1 Permitted Use

You may use the Site for lawful purposes only and in a manner consistent with all applicable federal and provincial laws of Canada and the laws of any jurisdiction from which you access the Site. You agree not to:

  • Use the Site in any way that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair it
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site or its related systems or networks
  • Reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any content from the Site without our written permission
  • Use automated tools (scrapers, bots, crawlers) to extract content for commercial purposes without our consent
  • Post or transmit any content that is defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, or infringes on the rights of any third party

1.2 Accuracy of Information

We endeavour to keep the information on the Site accurate and up to date. However, we make no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content on the Site. Results, case studies, and statistics referenced on the Site represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results.

2. Services

2.1 Service Engagements

The provision of digital marketing services (SEO, AEO, AIEO, GEO, Google Ads, Social Media, and related services) is governed by a separate Service Agreement or Statement of Work executed between you and Search Beyond Google. These Terms apply in addition to any such agreement. In the event of conflict, the Service Agreement takes precedence.

2.2 Free Audit and Consultation

Any free visibility audit or consultation offered on this Site is provided as a goodwill assessment only. Participation does not create a client relationship, obligate you to engage our services, or obligate us to provide ongoing advice. A formal client relationship is established only upon execution of a written Service Agreement.

2.3 No Guarantee of Results

Digital marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including search engine algorithm changes, market competition, client implementation of recommendations, and third-party platform policies. We do not guarantee specific rankings, traffic levels, lead volumes, or revenue outcomes. Any projections or estimates provided are illustrative and based on reasonable professional judgment.

3. Intellectual Property

3.1 Our Content

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, blog articles, guides, and code — is owned by or licensed to Search Beyond Google and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute this content without our express written permission, except for personal, non-commercial use with proper attribution.

3.2 Client Materials

When you engage our services and provide us with materials (logos, content, data, access credentials), you grant us a limited licence to use those materials solely for performing the agreed services. You represent that you own or have the right to provide all materials you submit.

3.3 Deliverables

Unless otherwise specified in a Service Agreement, upon full payment of all applicable fees, ownership of original deliverables we create specifically for you (e.g., website copy, ad creatives, reports) transfers to you. Tools, frameworks, templates, and proprietary methodologies we use to create deliverables remain our intellectual property.

4. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public information received from the other party in connection with the services. This obligation does not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law. This obligation survives termination of any service engagement for a period of two (2) years.

5. Payment Terms

Payment terms for services are set out in the applicable Service Agreement. General principles that apply unless otherwise agreed:

  • Invoices are due within 14 days of the invoice date
  • Late payments are subject to interest at 1.5% per month (18% per annum) on outstanding balances
  • We reserve the right to suspend services if invoices remain unpaid for more than 30 days
  • All fees are in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless stated otherwise
  • Applicable taxes (HST/GST) will be added to invoices where required by law

6. Termination

Either party may terminate a service engagement as specified in the applicable Service Agreement. With respect to website use, we reserve the right to terminate or restrict your access to the Site at any time, without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, confidentiality, payment obligations, and limitation of liability) will survive.

7. Third-Party Links and Tools

The Site and our services may reference or link to third-party platforms, tools, or resources (e.g., Google Ads, Meta, Semrush, Ahrefs). We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of those platforms. Reference to any third-party product or service does not constitute an endorsement. We are not an authorised reseller of Google, Meta, or any other platform unless explicitly stated.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SEARCHBEYONDGOOGLE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO SEARCHBEYONDGOOGLE IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Search Beyond Google and its operator, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Site in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any third-party rights; or (c) any materials you provide to us that infringe or are alleged to infringe any third-party rights.

11. Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review the Privacy Policy to understand our data practices.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If not resolved within 30 days, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Toronto, Ontario, under the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario), with one arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any executed Service Agreement and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Search Beyond Google regarding your use of the Site and receipt of Services, and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.

15. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
