Terms of Use
Welcome to Rankchase! These Terms of Use govern your use of the website and services offered by Rankchase (together with its affiliates, "Rankchase," "we," or "us") through our website located at www.rankchase.com (the "Website"). By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms or our Privacy Policy, please do not use the Website.
Description of Service
Rankchase is a subscription-based service that offers users access to our link exchange platform. The platform allows users to submit their websites and get matched with other websites for link exchanges. Users must have an account to access our subscription service.
User Account
To use our subscription service, users must create an account. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and for all activities that occur under their account. Users agree to immediately notify Rankchase of any unauthorized use of their account or any other breach of security. Rankchase will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of a user's account.
Rankchase reserves the right to suspend or terminate a user's account if Rankchase determines, in its sole discretion, that the user has violated these terms of use or any other applicable laws or regulations. Rankchase also reserves the right to modify or terminate its subscription service at any time, without prior notice.
Upon termination of a user's account, all data associated with the account may be permanently deleted. Rankchase will have no obligation to provide any refunds or credits to users in the event of such termination.
Subscription and Payment
To access some features of Rankchase, users will need to purchase a subscription. The subscription will automatically renew, and the user's credit card will be charged the subscription fee at the beginning of each billing period until the user cancels their subscription. By purchasing a subscription, users authorize Rankchase to charge their chosen payment method in advance on a periodic basis until they cancel. Users are responsible for all charges incurred under their account, including applicable taxes, fees, and surcharges.
Users may cancel their subscription at any time, and the cancellation will take effect immediately, resulting in the downgrade of the subscription plan to the Free Tier. No refunds or credits will be provided for partial subscription periods. If the user cancels their subscription, they will continue to have access to the subscribed features until the end of the current billing period.
Rankchase reserves the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend our subscription plans and pricing at any time and for any reason and will notify users in advance of any changes to their subscription plan or pricing. In the event that Rankchase modifies or terminates a subscription plan, users may be entitled to a prorated refund for any prepaid and unused subscription period.
Upgrading Plans
Users have the freedom to upgrade their subscription plan anytime they want by simply purchasing a higher-tiered plan on either their account page or pricing page. However, it's worth noting that any available benefits still remaining in the user's current account dashboard won't accumulate with the benefits included in the new upgraded plan. As soon as users upgrade, the changes will take effect immediately, and their credit card will be charged the price of the new subscribed plan. Subsequently, the user's subscription fee will be charged at the new rate for the next billing period.
If users wish to downgrade their subscription plan, they can do so at any time, but it's important to note that no refunds or credits will be provided for the remaining portion of the current billing period. To do this, users must cancel their current plan and subscribe to a new one.
Please note that Rankchase reserves the right to modify or discontinue subscription plans at any time, with or without notice to users.
Promotions and Discounts
We may offer promotions and discounts on our subscription service from time to time. These promotions and discounts may have limited availability and may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
Free Plan
We offer a free plan with limited access to our services. If you choose to use our free plan, your use of the Website is still subject to these Terms. Free plan users will not have the ability to see other users’ contact information or send messages, but their profiles will remain visible to premium users. Free users can still receive messages with link exchange requests.
Communications
By using our subscription service, users agree to receive electronic communications from Rankchase, including updates and newsletters. Users may opt-out of these communications at any time by following the instructions provided in the communication. For more information, please consult our Privacy Policy.
User Content
Users may provide feedback and suggestions to Rankchase regarding the Website or our services. By submitting feedback or suggestions to Rankchase, you agree that we may use your feedback or suggestions without compensation or credit to you.
User Responsibilities
Users are expected to engage in ethical and responsible practices while using Rankchase. The following practices are strictly prohibited, and failure to comply may result in the termination of the user's account:
Submission of Invalid or Illegitimate Websites: Users must submit only valid, legitimate, and well-maintained websites for link exchanges. Submitting websites that are under construction, contain malicious content, or are otherwise deemed inappropriate by Rankchase is prohibited.
Non-Responsiveness to Link Exchange Requests: Users must respond to link exchange requests in a timely manner, whether to accept or decline. Users will receive link exchange requests directly to their account email, to which they can respond directly by accepting or declining the exchange.
Initiating Link Exchanges: Users can send link exchange requests directly from their dashboard with a press of a button. This will send an email to the other party requesting the link exchange. In other words, Rankchase will facilitate the communication, but users must finalize the agreement on their own.
Violation of Link Exchange Agreements: Users must ensure they respect the terms of any link exchange agreements they enter into. Failure to uphold these agreements undermines trust within the community.
Requesting Irrelevant Link Exchanges: Users should preferably request only meaningful, niche-relevant link exchanges. Requesting links that are not relevant to the content or niche of the target website is discouraged.
Disclaimer on Link Exchanges and Brand Mentions
While link exchanges and brand mentions can positively impact Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), users must understand that these tactics should be used responsibly. They can also foster organic promotion and build relationships with other brands. It is essential to ensure that link exchanges are relevant to the niche and provide value to users. Rankchase is not responsible for any abuses or irresponsible use of these tactics by users. Engaging in unethical or manipulative practices can lead to negative consequences, including penalties from search engines. Users are encouraged to adhere to best practices and maintain the integrity of their link-building strategies.
