TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT
Terms of Service
Effective Date: October 2026 | Last Updated: October 2026
These Terms of Service govern your access to californiaseoexpert.com and outline the commercial expectations for independent SEO consulting engagements with Jiad Hassan.
1. Agreement to Terms and Purpose of Website
By accessing or browsing californiaseoexpert.com, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should refrain from using this website.
This website serves as an informational platform and portfolio outlining the professional SEO consulting services provided by Jiad Hassan (“Consultant”, “I”, or “my”) to commercial enterprises, professional practices, and growing brands across California.
2. Scope of SEO Consulting Services
I provide specialized search engine optimization consulting services, including Local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, Technical SEO, manual SEO audits, WordPress SEO, Ecommerce SEO, and AI search readiness (AEO/GEO). Consulting services are provided on a project or rolling monthly retainer basis, governed by individually agreed scopes of work (SOW) or written proposals.
Informational content, articles, methodologies, and framework descriptions published on this website are provided for educational and diagnostic reference only and do not constitute formal commercial engagement until a specific consulting agreement is executed.
3. Client Cooperation, Access, and Information Accuracy
The effectiveness of organic search consulting depends directly on transparent communication and timely client cooperation. To execute audits, technical remediation, or strategy effectively, clients agree to:
- Provide accurate, truthful information regarding their business operations, geographic target markets, and past marketing practices
- Grant necessary read-only or administrative access to analytics platforms (such as Google Search Console or Google Analytics 4) and CMS environments where authorized
- Review and approve recommendations, content revisions, or technical tickets in a commercially reasonable timeframe
4. Independent Contractor & Remote Service Model
Jiad Hassan operates as an independent contractor, providing remote advisory and consulting services from Bangladesh to clients located throughout California. Nothing in these terms or during the delivery of consulting services creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between Consultant and client.
Clients are solely responsible for their internal business operations, hiring decisions, and the implementation of recommended architectural changes unless hands-on CMS remediation is specifically contracted.
5. Search Engine Mechanics and Disclaimers of Guarantees
No Guarantee of Numerical Rankings or Commercial Revenue:
Search engine algorithms (including Google, Bing, and AI conversational search platforms) are proprietary, highly complex, and constantly evolving outside the control of any SEO consultant. While I apply evidence-led, white-hat methodologies aligned with Google Search Essentials, I do not guarantee specific numerical rankings, top-position placements, guaranteed lead volumes, or specific revenue outcomes.
Ethical SEO requires ongoing diagnostic evaluation, testing, and continuous refinement. Unforeseen algorithm shifts, aggressive competitor campaigns, website hosting failures, or unilateral client CMS edits may impact organic search metrics.
6. Intellectual Property and Permitted Use
All original content, branding, diagrams, layout designs, written analyses, and trademarks displayed on californiaseoexpert.com are the proprietary property of Jiad Hassan. You may access, view, and download website materials for personal, non-commercial evaluation purposes. You may not reproduce, syndicate, scrape, republish, or commercially exploit any content from this website without prior written permission.
Upon full payment for contracted consulting engagements, deliverables produced specifically for a client (such as audit reports, keyword maps, and technical developer specifications) become the property of the client, while Consultant retains the right to general methodology and diagnostic frameworks.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Jiad Hassan be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data loss, business interruption, or algorithmic ranking fluctuations arising out of or related to website use or consulting advice.
Consultant’s total aggregate liability under any consulting engagement shall be strictly limited to the total fees actually paid by the client to Consultant during the three (3) months preceding the claim.
8. Third-Party Websites and External Resources
This website may contain hyperlinks to third-party platforms, documentation sources, or industry references (such as Google Search Central, Schema.org, or Wikidata). These links are provided solely for educational reference. I do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of third-party websites.
