This Terms of Service (“TOS” or the “Agreement”) is a legally binding contract between Federation of Marketing Ltd. (“Rilvi”) and you, as a user of or subscriber to Rilvi sites or services. The Rilvi Privacy Policy and Rilvi Community Etiquette are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Rilvi offers businesses and individuals access to a rich collection of resources related to search engine optimization and online marketing, including, without limitation, search engine optimization tools, link analysis tools, downloadable tools, application program interfaces (“APIs”), website profile services, search analytics, blogs, user-generated content, personalized content, industry surveys, and opinion polls. Collectively, we’ll refer to these resources as the “Services” in this Agreement.
Rilvi Services may be offered across a number of web domains, including, without limitation, Rilvi.com, FederationOfMarketing.com and Rilvi.com. We’ll refer to these domains as the “Sites” in this Agreement.
You may access the Sites or Services with a free account as a user (“User”). While access to certain portions of the Sites and selected features of the Services is free, Rilvi reserves the right to charge fees for features and benefits associated with the Sites or Services at any time.

Conditions for API Usage
Rilvi may offer APIs for use by third parties, such as the Rilvi API. While Rilvi may not charge for Rilvi API use under certain circumstances, any such use is subject to these TOS. If Rilvi enters a separately negotiated agreement with you related to Rilvi API use, these terms will still apply, but any conflicting terms in that agreement will override terms in this Section.
All data associated with a Rilvi API is proprietary to Rilvi. If you use or publicly display such proprietary data associated with this API, you must comply with any link and attribution guidelines set forth on the Sites from time to time in addition to these TOS. Moreover, you may not resell or redistribute proprietary Rilvi API data via your own API or offer it to third parties.
Regarding the Rilvi API, you may access the Rilvi API via a secret key only. You agree to assume responsibility for your secret key, regardless of whether you authorized use of this key to another. Rilvi API keys are limited to one per user and one per organization, and abusing Rilvi API keys may subject you to liability, including as described in this agreement.
Rilvi reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to any API at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. If your access to an API is suspended or terminated, you have no rights associated with such API and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to any remuneration or compensation of any kind.

You are responsible for taking action prior to renewal if you do not want your subscription to renew automatically. You may not receive further notice of your renewal after signing up for a subscription, and you must visit your Subscription and Billing page to find out when your subscription is set to renew. Subscriptions recur either monthly or annually in most cases, depending upon the renewal term you choose during the signup process.
You are responsible for ensuring that the credit card associated with your account or subscription is up to date, that information posted in connection with it is accurate, and that you are authorized to use that credit card. Rilvi reserves the right to implement fraud-protection measures including, without limitation, temporarily charging small amounts to your credit card to determine that it is a valid credit card and you are authorized to use it.
Cancellation of Subscriptions – For security reasons, an email or phone call to Rilvi is not sufficient to cancel your Rilvi subscription, which you may cancel at any time by selecting the cancel button on your Subscription and Billing page. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund under any circumstances. You will continue to have access to the Sites and Services you have paid for until the end of your subscription term, but will lose access if the subscription is not in good standing.
No Refunds – Rilvi is not obligated to provide you a refund at any time. If you choose to cancel your Rilvi subscription during your subscription term, you will not be refunded, in whole or in part.

Rilvi Warranties and Limitations
Rilvi provides the Services “as-is”. Rilvi provides no express warranties, guarantees, or conditions related to the Sites or Services. To the extent permitted by law, Rilvi disclaims any implied warranties including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike effort, and non-infringement, and including those arising by usage of trade, course of dealing, or course of performance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Rilvi does not warrant that the Sites or Services will be accurate, error-free, virus-free, or uninterrupted or that it will meet any specific requirements of a User or Subscriber. Users may have additional rights as a consumer under local law that this Agreement cannot change.
Liability Limitation; Exclusive Remedies for User
You acknowledge that Rilvi cannot provide the Services at a reasonable price without limiting its liability as set forth herein, so, as an express condition of use of the Sites or Services, you agree to limit Rilvi’s potential liability to you as described in this clause. This limitation of liability is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between Rilvi and you as a User.
Rilvi does not: (i) guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information on the Sites or Services, or (ii) adopt, endorse or accept responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made by any party that appears on the Sites. Under no circumstances will Rilvi or its affiliates be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your reliance on information or other content posted on the Sites or transmitted to or by any Users.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Rilvi shall not be liable for any consequential, special, or incidental damages or lost profits resulting from your access to or use of the Sites or Services, whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory. This includes your inability to access or use (including due to modification, suspension, blocking, discontinuance, cancellation, or termination of the Services or any part thereof) the Sites or Services. Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically acknowledge that Rilvi is not liable for the defamatory, offensive, infringing, breaching, fraudulent, or illegal conduct of other Users or third parties and that the risk of injury from the foregoing rests entirely with you. These limitations apply to any matter related to the Sites, Services or its content; third party Internet sites, programs or conduct; viruses or other disabling features; incompatibility between the Services and other services, software, or hardware; and any delay or failure in initiating, conducting, or completing any transmission or transaction in connection with the Services in an accurate or timely manner. These limitations also apply even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses or fails its essential purpose; or even if Rilvi knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages.
Some regions and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to Users in these jurisdictions.
Special Admonitions for International Use

Specifically, and without limitation, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding obscene and indecent content and communications and those regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the Republic of Ireland or the country in which you reside.
