Terms of use
Two things sit here: using the site aiseoberlin.com, and the way I take on paid work. The site is informational. Paid work runs under a separate written agreement — if the two ever pull apart, the agreement decides.
1. Using the site
What appears on aiseoberlin.com reflects, in good faith, how the work is done at the time of writing. It is not legal, regulatory, or commercial advice. If you act on the site's content outside of active work together, that is at your own risk.
Bulk harvesting of the content is not allowed, nor is rebuilding the method from the public pages, nor republishing long extracts without attribution. Linking and quoting with a clear source is, as a rule, welcome.
2. The contact form
Sending the form is not an offer, a contract, or a promise from either side. It is a structured way to pass me context. I reply when the context allows a useful answer. The submission alone creates no right to a particular reply, a response time, or a service.
A message may be declined if it sits outside what I do, if current capacity does not allow it, or for any other operational reason. A refusal is not a verdict on your business — capacity and fit with the work are usually what decide.
3. How paid work is framed
Paid work runs under a written agreement that both sides sign before it begins. That agreement sets the scope, deliverables, timing, amounts, payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property, and how any dispute is settled. These site terms do not replace it.
The work follows the principles stated publicly: it starts from real query behavior rather than keyword volume alone, every recommendation connects to Berlin context — district, language, audience, proof source, or decision habit — German and English intent are treated as separate visibility surfaces rather than translations, named local brands and venues are observed only as public context with negative claims turned into composite examples, and no work promises a ranking inside an AI answer. If an instruction conflicts with these principles, the work is renegotiated or ended — the principles are not traded for flexibility.
4. No guaranteed result
Visibility in answer engines and search depends on factors no one fully controls: model behaviour, third-party platform policy, your own implementation choices, the market, and time. There is no guarantee of a position in results, of being cited by a model, of recommendation, or of any specific AI behaviour. The work makes your local business harder for AI to misread, flatten, or skip; it does not control outcomes. Concrete expectations are recorded in the written agreement, with their limits and a defined scope.
5. Liability
For free use of the site, liability is limited to the fullest extent the law allows. For paid work, liability is defined and limited in the agreement itself. Nothing here excludes liability for wilful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence, or any case where the law does not permit exclusion.
6. Governing law
For use of the site, the law of the operator's place of establishment applies, unless consumer-protection law gives you a more favourable jurisdiction. For paid work, the governing law and competent court are set out in the written agreement.
7. Changes to these terms
These terms are updated as the working model changes. The "Updated" date at the top marks the version in force. Changes that affect ongoing work are communicated to clients directly; changes that concern only the site appear here.
