Terms of Service

1. Who you are contracting with

AEO Growth Kit is a trading name of Steve Gillson, an auto-entrepreneur registered in France.

• Controller / publisher: Steve Gillson, auto-entrepreneur (sole trader)
• Address: 4 rue Toulouse Lautrec, 17138 Saint-Xandre, France
• SIRET: 91149164500022
• Email: steve@aeogrowthkit.com

Director of publication: Steve Gillson. This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., San Francisco, California, USA (netlify.com). Our application is hosted by Railway Corp., USA (railway.app).

2. Accepting these terms

By using this website or our platform (together, the "Service") you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Service.

3. What the Service is

• Free audit. A 5-page AEO audit at no cost and with no card required. Fair use applies: up to three free audits per email address.
• Full access. A paid monthly subscription covering the whole-site audit, the full AI Mirror Test and the Voiceprint™ content engine.
• Done-for-you. A separate service, quoted individually and governed by its own written agreement rather than by these terms.

4. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for what happens under your account. Give us accurate registration information and keep it current. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has accessed your account.

5. Subscriptions, billing and cancellation

Paid plans are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically until cancelled. By subscribing you authorise us and our payment processor, Stripe, to charge your chosen payment method at the start of each billing period.

You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period and you keep access until then. We do not pro-rate partial periods.

We may change our prices. If we do, we will give you reasonable notice before the change applies to your next billing period. If a founding rate has been locked for your account, we will honour it on the terms it was offered.

6. Refunds and your right to withdraw

Beyond the rights described below, we do not offer refunds for periods already paid for. The free audit exists so you can evaluate the Service before paying anything.

If you qualify as a consumer or as a non-professionnel under French law — which can include sole traders and very small businesses contracting outside their main field of activity — you have a legal right to withdraw within 14 days of subscribing. To exercise it, email us within that period and we will refund you.

Where you ask us to begin providing the Service immediately and acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once it has been fully performed, that right ends accordingly. Nothing in this section removes any statutory right you have.

7. Who owns what

What you give us. Your website content, brand material and anything else you supply remains yours. You grant us the licence we need to process it in order to provide the Service.

What the Service produces for you. Audit results, Mirror Test reports, content briefs and drafts produced for you through Voiceprint™ are yours. Once produced, you may use, edit, publish and commercialise them for your own business without further permission from us.

What stays ours. The Service itself — the platform, the software, the methodology, our own site content, the AEO Growth Kit and Voiceprint™ names and branding — remains our property. You may not copy, resell, sublicense or reverse engineer the platform, scrape it with automated tools, or present the Service itself as your own product.

8. AI-generated output

Parts of the Service are produced using large language models. That carries limits you should understand:

• Output may contain errors, out-of-date claims or invented details. Review it before you publish it.
• We cannot warrant that output is unique. Similar prompts can produce similar text for different users.
• We cannot warrant that output does not resemble existing material, and we give no warranty of non-infringement.
• You remain responsible for anything you publish, including its accuracy and its compliance with advertising, professional and disclosure rules in your field.

9. Results

We do not guarantee any specific outcome: not a citation rate, not a ranking, not a mention in any particular AI answer, and not any level of traffic or revenue. AI answer engines are third-party systems that change without notice and that neither we nor anyone else controls. What we provide is measurement, method and content — not a promised position.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to break the law, to attempt unauthorised access to our systems or anyone else's, to scrape or extract data by automated means, to send spam or conduct phishing, to harass anyone, or to transmit unlawful or malicious content.

11. Availability

We do not offer a service level agreement or an uptime guarantee. We aim to keep the Service available and will give notice of planned maintenance where we reasonably can, but the Service is provided on an "as available" basis.

12. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or lost business opportunity, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.

Where we are liable, our total liability for all claims in any 12-month period is limited to the amount you paid us in that period.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If you contract with us as a consumer or non-professionnel, your mandatory statutory protections apply and are unaffected by this section.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by cancelling your subscription. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, that is used unlawfully, or where non-payment persists. Except where a serious breach makes it impractical, we will give you notice and a chance to put things right first. On termination your right to use the Service ends; sections 7, 8, 9 and 12 survive.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For material changes affecting subscribers we will give reasonable notice before they take effect, so you can cancel if you disagree. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law, and the French courts have jurisdiction. If you contract with us as a consumer or non-professionnel, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory rules in your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings there.

Please email us first — most problems are quicker to solve directly.
