Our services

Cited provides Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and related digital marketing services. The specific scope, deliverables and fees for any engagement will be set out in a proposal, quote or statement of work agreed between you and us.

Use of our website

You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to use the website in any way that breaches applicable laws or regulations; attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, servers or systems; interfere with or disrupt the website or its security; or use the website to transmit harmful or malicious code.

By engaging our services or submitting a form on our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and, where acting on behalf of a business, that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.

Intellectual property

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos and design — is owned by or licensed to Cited and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute or use our content without our prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public business or technical information disclosed by the other party in connection with the services, and to use it only for the purposes of the engagement, except where disclosure is required by law.

Quotes, engagement and results

Any quote or proposal we provide is an estimate based on the information available at the time and is valid for the period stated. Our services involve search and AI systems that we do not control, and outcomes depend on many factors. While we apply proven methods and act in good faith, we do not guarantee any specific ranking, citation, placement, traffic or commercial result.

Fees and payment

Fees, payment terms and any ongoing charges will be set out in your proposal or invoice. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are payable by the due date stated. We may suspend services for overdue accounts.

Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement in accordance with the notice period set out in the applicable proposal or statement of work. Where no notice period is specified, either party may terminate on 14 days' written notice. On termination, you remain liable for fees for services performed up to the termination date, and any fees paid in advance for services not yet delivered will be refunded on a pro-rata basis.

Australian Consumer Law

Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty or other term or condition, implied or imposed by the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law where to do so would be unlawful.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to the Australian Consumer Law, our liability to you for any loss or damage arising from your use of our website or services is limited, at our option, to resupplying the relevant services or paying the cost of having them resupplied. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against any loss, claim or liability we incur arising from content, materials or instructions you provide to us for use in connection with the services, including any claim that such content infringes a third party's rights or is unlawful, defamatory or misleading.

Third-party links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We provide these links for convenience only and are not responsible for the content, products or practices of any third-party website.

Privacy

Your use of our website and services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information.

Dispute resolution

If a dispute arises under these Terms, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve it through good-faith negotiation before commencing legal proceedings.

Force majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations where this is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.
