5.8 ANTiT shall not be liable for any delay in or failure of performance caused by:

5.12 If the Customer requires other additions or customisation (to include but not limited too:  additional pages, additional forms, new graphics, creation of image links to other websites, re-skin of the Customer Website or new bespoke design under the category of Customer Website Design Services), this will be chargeable on an hourly rate basis, unless an agreement for Ongoing Service(s) exists between the Customer  and ANTiT which specifies the inclusion of further additions or customisation within the agreed price. In any event, ANTiT will agree with the Customer in advance of any charges and payment terms prior to commencing the additional work or customisation.

5.13 If the Customer has an older website or system in place that has now been replaced and the Customer refuses to upgrade their website or system then ANTiT will  at its discretion either:

• 5.13.1 charge for the additional support; or
• 5.13.2 terminate the agreement because of the end of life of that system or website; or

• For the avoidance of doubt this clause should be read in conjunction with clause 16.4.4.

5.14 Where the Customer engages ANTiT to provide Website Design Services which involve ongoing maintenance and support and (if applicable) ANTiT will submit the Customer's Website to the Customer’s compliance team for an annual review of the Customer's Website. ANTiT will action the compliance feedback and (if applicable) will require the Customer's prompt action to provide the content or feedback necessary for ANTiT to complete the work. Where applicable, ANTiT reserves the right to charge for the work provided (if it is not covered in the monthly support fees). For the avoidance of doubt, ANTiT will only make the changes and liaise with the compliance team, but it will not be responsible for the Customer’s Website compliance. ANTiT will try to use its reasonable endeavours to make the changes to the Customer’s Website as required by the Customer’s compliance team before the date of the Customer’s previous compliance approval certificate has expired. However, should ANTiT fail to send the Customer’s Website to its compliance team on or before the date the Customer’s previous compliance approval certificate has expired, ANTiT will not be held responsible. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Customer’s absolute responsibility to ensure its website has been sent to its compliance team before the expiry of the compliance approval certificate or any other deadlines it has previously notified ANTiT of.

5.15 If the Customer contracts with ANTiT for the Deliverables whilst it is part of a network at a discounted price, which is given solely due to the fact of the Customer’s that is membership of that network and should the Customer then leave that network for any reason, it will no longer be entitled to the discounted price and the full price will then be payable by the Customer.

For the avoidance of doubt the administration fee of £25.00 plus VAT will be charged to the Customer by ANTiT each time the Customer makes a payment to ANTi due to the Customer not having cancelled their Standing Order or Direct Debit and as a consequence ANTiT will need to process the return of that overpayment until such a time that the Customer cancels its Standing Order or Direct Debit.

8.4 If for any reason ANTiT sets up a new account for the Customer (or has done in the past) on an advertising platform such as Google AdWords or Bing Ads, the Customer agrees that ANTiT can agree to the advertising platforms terms and conditions on the Customer’s behalf, and it is the Customer’s responsibility to find or request a copy of those terms and the platform's policies to review them.

8.7 ANTiT will agree a monthly budget for these platforms, and the Customer agrees that it will have a duty, on an ongoing basis, to keep up to date with and check the budget allocated to and the sums spent through these platforms, either through the platforms invoicing interface or the reports ANTiT set ups/send to the Customer to ensure it matches the Customer’s expectations and ability to pay, and that based on these checks the Customer’s  hold sole responsibility for the spend on these platforms.

8.8 As part of the platform's terms, there may be policies which are designed to adhere to local/national law, trading standards, advertising standards, consumer rights, payment, and identity verification, and you agree that compliance and adherence to these is entirely the Customer’s responsibility and ANTiT will take no responsibility for infringement of these, or accounts being blocked, suspended, or cancelled because of them.

8.9 As part of the platform's terms, there may also be other policies relating to rules for the operation of ads on that particular platform, for example, Google’s policies can be found here: https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/6008942?hl=en-GB , and the Customer understands that these policies may include but not exclusively, trademark infringement, copyright infringement, issues with reseller compliance, malware, misrepresentation, prohibitive or restricted business types, previously suspended accounts, or associated business suspended accounts, fake or counterfeit products, and the Customer agrees that compliance and adherence to these is entirely its responsibility and ANTiT will take no responsibility for infringement of these, or accounts being blocked, suspended, or cancelled because of them.

9. SEO

9.1 SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is an iterative process. As ANTiT works through the Services, and at different stages through the Services, ANTiT will apply different optimisation tactics to move the site to the Customer’s desired goal. Throughout this process, ANTiT might uncover new or additional tactics which are needed, and it cannot be held responsible for not identifying them or applying these tactics within the Services at an earlier point in the engagement.

9.2 Part of the search engines (Google etc.) approach to ranking a website is to appraise the inbound links (hyperlinks) that point to the Customer’s site from other website pages. The search engines prefer a profile of inbound links that they consider ‘natural’, i.e., not artificially influenced by the owners or agents working on behalf of the owners of the website the links point to. As part of the Services ANTiT offers the Customer, it may recommend content placements and other strategies to aid the growth of these links (link building/acquisition), which will artificially influence the profile of the Customer’s inbound links. If the Customer has agreed to such Services, under no circumstances will ANTiT be held responsible for any such activity being identified by the search engines and then negatively affecting the keyword rankings of the Customer’s website, the Customer’s website traffic, enquiries or conversions the Customer gains through its website, this includes receiving an ‘unnatural links’ notice or penalty from Google (either algorithmic or manual).

9.3 ANTiT cannot be held responsible for gains in the Customer’s keyword positions being eroded once our work has stopped.

9.4 ANTiT cannot guarantee keyword rankings. All ranking predictions (if given) are merely estimates and it cannot be held responsible if keyword rankings are not achieved.

9.5 The search engines use algorithms to help determine the Customer’s keyword rankings. Because these algorithms regularly change, ANTiT cannot be held responsible for any reduction in rankings, website traffic, enquiries, sales, revenue or profit, due to a change, development or adaptation to any search engine algorithm, that then devalues or penalises any part of Services ANTiT have delivered, or any specific or broad characteristic of your website, business or marketplace.

9.6 ANTiT cannot guarantee the rankings the Customer sees when it searches with a specific keyphrase or set of keyphrases will be ranked in the same positions within the search engines as the positions we have tracked, ranked and reported on.

9.7 ANTiT uses ranking tracker software to obtain the Customer’s sites rankings and produce ranking reports, details on this software can be found here: https://www.link-assistant.com/ - but ANTiT may use other tools, either to conduct the entire report or parts of the report.

9.8 ANTiT uses this tool in a consistent manner to ensure that rankings from one date to another can show an accurate difference based on the parameters it uses.

9.9 ANTiT uses the same key phrases, with history metrics removed, with the user anonymised, and the location consistent - this aims to ensure the rankings it take from one date to another are an accurate comparison.

9.10 Whilst the software gives exact rankings based on the parameters used, and ANTiT will comment on these exact rankings, the main takeaway from any ranking report should be seen as the trend in the ranking differences - improved or not, overall and within targeted sets of phrases or categories of phrases.

9.11 Rankings from any check can only be considered to be accurate at the exact time they are taken, this is because there is always considerable movement within the competitive environment, the search engines make both small (daily) and large (often monthly) algorithmic ranking appraisal changes, and they serve results differently based on a range of factors including that they test different results to see the differences in their users’ behaviours to improve the engagement that their results receive.

9.12 The factors above mean there is volatility in rankings, so swings can occur, especially with longer tail, longer length key phrases, with low search volume, and in lower positions - this means that phrases with search volume that sit on page one and two of the search results tend to have more stability, and those that don’t tend to have less.

9.13 Rankings examined by other software, or by any individual through their own device will be different - this is because they are affected by personal search behaviour, websites visited on that device, the device (mobile/desktop), differences in anonymisation, differences in exact geographic location, and differences in the day and time the rankings are taken. Therefore, the rankings the Customer will see will be different to the rankings ANTiT takes.

9.14 ANTiT cannot guarantee to identify a Google / Bing penalty, or suppression of site performance because of an algorithm change (including keyword rankings, website traffic, enquiries, sales) prior to its engagement to deliver the Services.

9.15 If the project ANTiT is working on, or the Ongoing Services are to be applied to a website during a redevelopment or migration to a different website/website platform which entails significant changes to site hierarchy and/or website URLs, then significant search engine ranking and organic search traffic volatility should be expected, and for an unspecified period.

9.16 Different search engines have different algorithms and therefore results may differ from one engine to the next. ANTiT cannot be held responsible for any differences across the search engines.

9.17 ANTiT does not take any responsibility or liability for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by the Customer. ANTiT reserves the right to refuse to use any material of a copyrighted nature unless adequate proof is given of permission to use such material and if ANTiT without previous knowledge of its copyright, use this material on the Customer’s  behalf, under its instruction, the Customer will indemnify ANTiT against any liability in relation to the use of the material and the Customer will be liable for any damages and legal fees incurred due to the copyright infringement.

9.18 Unless specifically requested and agreed, ANTiT’s Services are focused purely on the ‘UK’ focused versions of the search engines, and ANTiT cannot be held responsible for non-UK search engines.

10. Issue Recovery

10.1 There will be natural fluctuations in key phrase rankings and organic traffic, which are attributed to any of the following, either individually or in combination with each other: changes to the Customer’s website, changes to the Customer’s inbound link profile, changes to marketplace behaviour, changes to competitor behaviour, changes to other elements within the Customer’s marketing activities, and changes made by Google to its algorithms and the format of search results.

10.2 ANTiT will monitor the rankings for any agreed target key phrases on a regular basis to be able to keep up to date with these fluctuations.

10.3 If a greater-than-normal negative fluctuation occurs, then ANTiT will act as follows:

• 10.3.1 clarify the fluctuation and report on it to the Customer;
• 10.3.2 investigate the reasons for the fluctuation and provide an outline report of what was found;
• 10.3.3 suggest whether any action can be taken to address the reasons for the fluctuation;
• 10.3.4 plan any recommended actions;
• 10.3.5 gain the Customer’s approval on the recommended actions;
• 10.3.6 move forward with the recommendations; and
• 10.3.7 within a timeframe agreed with the Customer report on the results of the actions.
