Terms & Conditions

Effective23 June 2026
Versionv1.0
In short

The terms for using this website and engaging TheGuideX for work — what we commit to, what stays realistic, where responsibility sits, and the law that governs them. Written to be read, not just filed.

§ 01

Using this website

By browsing theguidex.com you agree to these terms. The site is run by TheGuideX, an SEO and web consultancy led by Sunny Kumar, based in New Delhi, India, with a virtual office in Henrietta, NY, USA.

How we handle your data is set out in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with anything here, the simplest step is to stop using the site.

§ 02

Acceptable use

You may read, link to, and share pages from this site for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to scrape or data-mine the site for AI training or resale, attempt to break or overload it, or upload anything harmful. Automated bulk access without our permission is not allowed.

§ 03

The content is information, not advice

Articles, insights, and notes on this site share how we approach real problems. They are written carefully, but every site and business is different. Nothing here is legal, financial, or guaranteed technical advice for your specific situation, and acting on it is your own decision.

§ 04

The services we provide

Nothing is bought or sold through this site. When you engage TheGuideX, the work is scoped around the actual problem — not a fixed package. That may be technical and on-page SEO, generative engine optimization, WordPress development, or link building and content. The exact deliverables, timeline, and price are agreed in writing before work starts.

That written proposal or scope email is a separate engagement that governs the paid work; these website terms do not. Where the two differ on a specific engagement, the written scope for that engagement takes precedence.

§ 05

No guaranteed rankings

SEO and AI search depend on search engines and platforms we do not control. We commit to method, diagnosis, and quality of implementation — not to a specific position, traffic number, lead volume, or AI citation by a fixed date. Anyone guaranteeing a number one ranking is guessing or worse. We report honestly on what changed and why.

§ 06

Engagement and payment

  • Fees, schedule, and what is included are confirmed in writing before work begins.
  • Invoices are due by the date stated on them unless otherwise agreed.
  • Ongoing work can be paused or ended by either side with reasonable notice, as set out in the engagement.
  • Work already delivered remains payable.
§ 07

Your responsibilities

For the work to succeed, you provide timely access — to the site, hosting, analytics, or search console as needed — and approve changes within reasonable time. You confirm you have the right to the content, brand, and assets you ask us to work on. Delays in access or approvals can move timelines that otherwise sit outside our control.

§ 08

Intellectual property

The text, structure, and design of this website belong to TheGuideX. You are welcome to read and share linked pages, but do not republish substantial parts as your own.

For client work, deliverables we produce for you become yours once the engagement is paid in full. General methods, know-how, and reusable approaches remain ours to use again.

§ 10

Third-party tools and platforms

Work often involves third-party services — hosting, CDNs, plugins, analytics, and search platforms. These have their own terms and their own outages. We choose them with care, but we are not responsible for their pricing, availability, or policy changes.

§ 11

The website is provided “as is”

This website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We work to keep it accurate and online, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, and we may change or remove content at any time.

§ 12

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, TheGuideX is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost revenue, or loss arising from search engine or platform changes outside our control. For paid work, any direct liability is limited to the fees paid for the specific work in question. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

§ 13

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. The courts at New Delhi, Delhi shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of this website.

We would always rather settle a disagreement by talking first — write to [email protected] and we will engage in good faith.

§ 14

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the work or the law changes. The date in the sidebar reflects the latest version, and continued use of the site means you accept the current terms.

§ 15

General

  • If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
  • These terms, together with any written engagement for paid work, are the whole agreement between us on their subject.
  • Not enforcing a term once does not waive our right to enforce it later.
  • You agree to cover reasonable losses we incur from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.
