The not so small print
You’ll notice that unlike other businesses our small print is small in volume – we don’t like it ourselves so why should we impose more than necessary on our clients?
- Where you see an asterisk*, this denotes prices are plus UK VAT at 20%.
- When you join SEO-Sushi as a client your only cost, unless you agree otherwise, is £19.95 a month* and this can be easily cancelled. You can walk away at any point by giving us 90 days’ advance notice in writing or email. We collect payments in advance or each month by Direct Debit via the leading payment gateway GoCardless. Transactions appear under the name of our parent business SH Consulting & Marketing Limited. Direct Debit payments are backed by the usual Direct Debit Guarantee and are used as they help us keep our charges low.
- Given the low fees charged the service does not come with telephone or email support unless advised separately in that months Sushi Guide, but additional assistance (in the unlikly event that it's needed) can be purchased in advance at our agreed monthly tariff in 30 minute portion sizes*. The costs are typically at least 10% below our normal consultancy rate for new clients.
- To further keep costs low only issue one initial invoice – you can create your future invoices yourself by simply adding a different letter to the original invoice number each month, so month one of your campaign receives an A invoice code, month 2 would be a B and so on until we advise of a change. If you need us instead to issue these for you, optional monthly invoices cost an extra cost of £5 per month*.
- Search Engine Marketing is a very complex profession which is constantly updating and evolving, roughly once every 6 minutes. We have developed our own robust strategies which have stood the test of time over a decade and this is what you again access to through our guidance notes – this does NOT mean it will necessarily concur with other industry views or even the blogs and press releases of companies such as Google. This should not be a concern – ultimately these are your competitors striving to hold you back or take your money, our goal is to see your business advance irrespective of others.
- Because of this complexity, we can give no assurances that the advice you receive is 100% correct as nobody knows that for certain, it is delivered to the best of our abilities and experience and this is where the relevance of our untarnished record becomes an important factor in whether you decide to buy services from us or not. Ultimately it is your choice and risk and we accept no contingent or other liability beyond any fees paid to us. We also make no firm claims or warrantees as to the success or timescales that will apply to your websites performance should you deploy our recommendations for the simple reason that we have no control over how quickly or how well you will deploy our advice nor how competitors or the search engines may change or react in the meantime. Needless to say, speed is key in effective online marketing.
- We reserve the right to decline admission to SEO-Sushi if you are an existing client as it adds to our costs to reverse engineer against advice already given through a recurrent strategy. We do however allow clients to join to access the other benefits of membership if they so wish. We also reserve the right to decline admission if you are using the Guides provided to undermine our business, for example, by publishing them online on whole or part or if we feel you are striving to build a competitor business to us or one of our clients.
- By necessity we will need to retain information about you and your connection to your website in order to deliver you new recommendations and solutions each month. Under GDPR regulations you consent to this being fair processing of your data and understand that we may from time to time offer you access to affiliated services from our own company. We will though never release your personal data to other businesses or outside the UK either for processing, sale, or under any marketing agreement. If you have any issues regarding your data or need to contact us in an official capacity write to GDPR@SEO-Sushi.co.uk
- The service is primarily developed for the UK market and UK law therefore applies to our contract with you. There is no reason why most elements advised upon cannot be applied internationally as the search engines work in very similar ways across borders, but again, this is entirely your choice at your risk.
