4. Client Responsibilities
You are responsible for providing accurate, complete and up-to-date information.
For citation and local SEO services, you are responsible for ensuring that the business information supplied to Citation Nest is legitimate and that you are authorized to represent the business.
You must not provide information that:
- Is knowingly false or misleading
- Infringes another person’s rights
- Impersonates another business or person
- Violates applicable law
- Violates the rules of a third-party directory or platform
Citation Nest may refuse to process an order where the requested work appears fraudulent, deceptive, unlawful or inconsistent with a third-party platform’s requirements.
5. Citation Building Services
Citation building involves submitting or updating business information on third-party directories and online platforms.
Depending on the service purchased, Citation Nest may create, claim, update, correct or optimize business listings.
Citation Nest does not control third-party directories.
Third-party platforms may:
- Reject a submission
- Request verification
- Delay publication
- Change listing requirements
- Modify submitted information
- Suspend or remove listings
- Change their policies or functionality
- Require additional verification from the business owner
Therefore, Citation Nest does not guarantee that every submitted citation will remain live permanently.

- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- Website
- Business category
- Business description
- Opening hours
- Images
- Other business information
You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the information supplied to us.
Citation Nest is not responsible for incorrect information caused by inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information provided by the client.
7. Third-Party Platforms
Many Citation Nest services depend on websites and platforms operated by third parties.
We do not own or control those platforms and cannot guarantee:
- Their uptime
- Their approval process
- Their indexing
- Their search visibility
- Their ranking
- Their moderation decisions
- Their future availability
- Their policies
- Their permanent retention of a listing
Any third-party platform may change its policies or systems without notice.
Such changes do not constitute a failure by Citation Nest to provide the service where the agreed work was reasonably completed.
8. Search Engine and Ranking Disclaimer
SEO, citation building, link building and AI visibility services are intended to improve online visibility and support digital marketing objectives.
However, Citation Nest does not guarantee:
- A specific Google ranking
- A specific search position
- A specific Domain Authority or Page Authority score
- A specific amount of organic traffic
- A specific number of leads or sales
- Guaranteed inclusion in search results
- Guaranteed appearance in AI-generated search results
- A specific Google Business Profile position
- A specific revenue increase
Search engines, directories and AI platforms use their own algorithms and policies, which are outside our control.
9. AI Visibility Services
Where Citation Nest provides AI visibility or related optimization services, the objective is to improve the discoverability, consistency and representation of a business across relevant AI and search environments.
Because AI platforms and search engines continuously change their systems, algorithms and data sources, Citation Nest cannot guarantee that a business will be mentioned, recommended, cited or displayed by a particular AI platform.
10. Website Development Services
Where website development is purchased:
- The agreed scope will determine the included work.
- Client-provided content, images, trademarks and other materials must be legally usable by the client.
- Additional functionality outside the agreed scope may require additional payment.
- Third-party hosting, themes, plugins, APIs and software may be subject to separate terms and fees.
- Ongoing maintenance is not automatically included unless specifically stated.
The client is responsible for reviewing and approving website content before final publication.
11. eBay Listing Services
Where eBay listing services are purchased, Citation Nest may assist with listing titles, descriptions, formatting, optimization, product information and related listing work.
The client remains responsible for ensuring that:
- Products are genuine and legally permitted for sale.
- Product information is accurate.
- Images and content may legally be used.
- Products comply with applicable laws and marketplace policies.
- The client has the necessary rights to sell the products.
Citation Nest does not guarantee that eBay or another marketplace will approve, rank, promote or permanently retain a listing.
12. Account Access and Credentials
Certain services may require access to websites, directories, social platforms, marketplaces or other online accounts.
You confirm that you are authorized to provide such access.
You remain responsible for the ownership and security of your accounts.
Citation Nest will use provided access only as reasonably necessary to perform the agreed services.
You should notify us if access is withdrawn, credentials are changed, or authorization is no longer available.
13. Service Delivery and Timelines
Estimated delivery times depend on the service purchased, the amount of work involved, client cooperation and the response times of third-party platforms.
A delivery estimate is not necessarily a guaranteed completion date unless expressly agreed in writing.
Delays caused by:
- Missing client information
- Incorrect information
- Delayed client responses
- Verification requirements
- Third-party directory delays
- Platform outages
- Technical problems
- Changes to third-party policies
- Circumstances outside our reasonable control
will not be treated as a failure to provide the service.
14. Revisions and Corrections
Where a service includes revisions or corrections, requests must relate to the original agreed scope.
Requests for completely new work or substantial changes to the original requirements may be treated as additional work.
If an error is caused directly by Citation Nest, we will make reasonable efforts to correct it within the applicable service scope.
15. Payments
Services must be paid for according to the pricing, package or quotation applicable to the order.
Citation Nest may use third-party payment providers to process payments.
You agree not to initiate fraudulent chargebacks or payment disputes where the ordered service has been legitimately provided.
If you believe there is a genuine billing or service issue, please contact us first so that we can investigate and attempt to resolve the matter.
16. Refunds and Money-Back Guarantees
Any refund or money-back guarantee applies only where expressly stated for the particular service or package purchased.
A guarantee does not automatically apply to every Citation Nest service.
Where a service is eligible for a refund or guarantee, the applicable conditions, exclusions and requirements will apply.
Refund eligibility may be affected by:
- Work already completed
- Third-party services already purchased or submitted
- Client-provided incorrect information
- Client-requested cancellation after work has begun
- Failure to provide required information
- Violation of these Terms
- Services that have already been delivered
Third-party platform fees, domain costs, hosting costs, advertising costs or other external expenses may not be refundable where they have already been incurred.
17. Cancellation
You may request cancellation of an order by contacting Citation Nest.
Cancellation requests are subject to the stage of the project and the applicable refund terms.
If substantial work has already been completed, cancellation may not result in a full refund.

- The requested service is unlawful
- The client provides fraudulent information
- The client requests manipulation or deceptive activity
- The requested work violates a third-party platform’s policies
- The client behaves abusively toward staff or service providers
- Continuing the project would create an unreasonable security, legal or operational risk
18. Client Content and Intellectual Property

You grant Citation Nest permission to use such materials only as reasonably necessary to provide the services you have purchased.
You represent that you have the necessary rights or permissions to provide the materials.
Citation Nest does not claim ownership of your business identity merely because we use your business information to create or optimize listings.
19. Work Product
Unless otherwise agreed, the client receives the intended deliverables associated with the purchased service after payment and completion.
Third-party listings remain subject to the ownership, licensing and access rules of the relevant third-party platform.
Third-party platforms may control listing ownership, verification and access independently of Citation Nest.
