1. Dual-Nature Scope

ContentOps operates as both a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider (“The Command Center”) and a professional consulting entity (“Consulting Services”). By accessing the platform or commissioning our work, you agree to these Terms.

2. Engagement Protocol & Intake Authority

Our services are surgical in nature. All Consulting Services (Audits, Backlog Rescues, Topical Map Builds) require a formal “Surgical Intake” submission. ContentOps reserves the right to decline any engagement prior to the commencement of work if the site does not meet our minimum threshold for technical viability. Engagement begins only upon formal acceptance of the intake request.

3. Intellectual Property

• Deliverables: Upon full payment, the specific HTML deliverables, strategy reports, and visual assets created for your engagement become your property.
• Methodology: The proprietary HTML Audit Suite, our “Bones-Joints-Cartilage” methodology, and our diagnostic schemas remain the exclusive intellectual property of ContentOps. You are purchasing the output, not the engine.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties (The SEO Clause)

We provide data-driven technical infrastructure and diagnostic reports based on algorithmic intent signals. We do not guarantee, warrant, or promise specific ranking improvements, traffic increases, or revenue outcomes. SEO is an adversarial environment controlled by third-party search engines; we are responsible for the accuracy of our diagnostics and the quality of our execution, not the fluctuation of the search index.

5. Limitation of Liability

ContentOps’ total liability for any claim arising from our Services or SaaS platform shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the 3 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for any third-party penalties, ranking drops, or site indexing issues that may arise post-implementation.
