Terms of Use

Draft for legal review. This text describes how the site works. Have it checked for your jurisdiction before launch, then remove this line.

These terms cover your use of Search Community. By applying to join you agree to them and to the Community Guidelines.

Membership

Membership is free and reviewed by a person. You must be at least 16 and work in or study search marketing. One account per person. Keep your login private. We may decline or close accounts that do not meet the guidelines.

Your content

• You keep ownership of what you post. You give the operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, display, format and index it on this site and in its feeds, for as long as it stays published.
• Only post what you have the right to share. No confidential client data, no personal information about others, no copied material.
• Declare commercial relationships when you write about a client, employer, tool or product.
• If you close your account, published items remain under “Former member” unless you ask for their removal or they are removed under the guidelines.

Moderation

Moderators can edit for formatting, hold, hide or remove content and restrict or suspend accounts under the guidelines. Actions are logged, explained to you where appropriate, and can be appealed from your Account page. Appeals are reviewed by someone not involved in the original decision where possible.

No advice

Contributions are members’ own experience and opinions. They are not professional advice and the operator does not guarantee their accuracy. Test before you rely on anything.

Liability

The site is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for losses arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing here limits rights that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced on the site. Questions go to the address on the Contact page.
