Terms of Service
Last updated: August 18, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of BlackAds' ("BlackAds," "we," "us," or "our") two offerings:
- our advertising and marketing agency services, offered through blackads.com ("Agency Services"); and
- the BlackAds SEO dashboard, a self-serve SEO tool offered through app.blackads.com (the "App").
By using either, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use our services.
1. Who Can Use Our Services
You must be at least 18 years old, and authorized to act on behalf of the business you represent, to use our Agency Services or the App.
2. Accounts
The App uses Google Sign-In. You're responsible for keeping your Google account secure — activity under your account is treated as authorized by you. Let us know right away at info@blackads.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
3. Agency Services
When you engage BlackAds for advertising or marketing management, the specific scope, deliverables, fees, and timeline are set out separately (for example, in a proposal, statement of work, or written agreement between us). These Terms apply in addition to, not in place of, any such agreement.
- You retain ownership of your advertising accounts, ad spend, and business data. Granting BlackAds access to manage a campaign does not transfer ownership of the account or funds to us.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you're responsible for your own advertising spend and any fees charged directly by ad platforms (e.g. Google Ads, Meta); BlackAds' fees for managing campaigns are separate and set out in your agreement with us.
- We don't guarantee specific advertising results (clicks, conversions, return on ad spend, etc.) — advertising platforms and markets change, and outcomes depend on many factors outside our control.
4. The App (SEO Dashboard)
- A free tier is currently available. We may introduce paid subscription plans in the future; if we do, pricing, billing terms, and cancellation will be presented before you're charged, and continuing to use a paid plan means you agree to those terms.
- We may change or discontinue features of the App at any time. We'll do our best to give notice of material changes that affect your use.
- The App reads data from Google Search Console to generate recommendations, audits, and keyword tracking. We don't guarantee specific search ranking or traffic outcomes — SEO results depend on factors outside our control, including changes to search engine algorithms.
- You can disconnect a connected site or stop using the App at any time from Settings, or by contacting us.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use our services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, other users' accounts, or our systems;
- interfere with or disrupt the App's operation, or attempt to reverse-engineer it beyond what the law allows;
- use the App to access or process data for a website or property you're not authorized to manage; or
- use our services to send spam, malware, or otherwise harm others.
6. Google API Services
The App's use of Google Search Console data is governed by the Google API Services User Data Policy. See our Privacy Policy for details on what we collect and how we use it.
7. Intellectual Property
BlackAds owns the App, its design, and underlying technology. You retain ownership of your own business data and content. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the App for your own business purposes while your account is active.
8. Third-Party Services
The App and our Agency Services rely on third-party platforms — including Google (Sign-In and Search Console), hosting and database infrastructure, and AI services used to generate recommendations, and, for agency clients, advertising platforms like Google Ads or Meta. We're not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or acts of these third parties, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
Our services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any SEO or advertising outcome will be achieved.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BlackAds will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenue, arising from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim relating to our services will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App or end your engagement with our Agency Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, or if we discontinue the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, and Limitation of Liability) will survive.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of our services after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
