Terms of Service

To use the Service, you must: (a) be at least 18 years of age; (b) have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; (c) not be prohibited from using the Service under any applicable law; and (d) if using the Service on behalf of a business, have authority to bind that business to these Terms.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to terminate your account if we discover you do not meet these requirements.

To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, including your password, and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to: (a) use a strong, unique password; (b) not share your credentials with any third party; (c) notify us immediately at success@rankscore.co if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any other security breach.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to comply with these security obligations. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that show signs of unauthorised access or fraudulent activity.

3.1 Lifetime Access Plans

We offer a one-time "lifetime" payment option. A lifetime plan grants you ongoing access to the Service for as long as the Company continues to operate the RankScore product. "Lifetime" refers to the lifetime of the product, not the lifetime of any individual user. In the event the Company discontinues the Service or ceases operations, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least 60 days' advance written notice.

3.2 Pricing and Payment

All prices are stated in US dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. By completing a purchase, you authorise us or our payment processor to charge your chosen payment method for the stated amount. You represent that you are authorised to use the payment method provided.

We use third-party payment processors. Your payment information is transmitted directly to and stored by our payment processor, and is subject to their privacy policy and terms. We do not store complete payment card details on our servers.

3.3 Taxes

You are responsible for all applicable taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required by law, we may collect applicable sales tax.

3.4 Refund Policy

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases. If you are not satisfied with the Service for any reason within 30 days of your original purchase date, contact us at success@rankscore.co with your purchase details, and we will issue a full refund to your original payment method. Refund requests submitted after 30 days from the purchase date will not be honoured except where required by applicable law.

We reserve the right to decline refund requests where we have evidence of abuse of this policy, including but not limited to repeated purchases and refund requests or violation of these Terms.

By connecting a Third-Party Service, you authorise us to access and use your data from that service as necessary to provide the features you have requested.

Your use of Third-Party Services is governed by the terms and privacy policies of those third parties. We are not responsible for the availability, functionality, accuracy, security, or data practices of any Third-Party Service.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL GULF COAST BRANDS LLC D/B/A RANKSCORE, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain types of damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Gulf Coast Brands LLC d/b/a RankScore, its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) Your Content; (c) your use of the Service; (d) your violation of any third-party rights; or (e) your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

These Terms are effective as of the date you first access the Service and continue until terminated.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at success@rankscore.co. Termination of your account does not entitle you to a refund except as provided in our refund policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without notice or liability, for any reason, including if: (a) you breach these Terms; (b) we are required to do so by law; (c) we reasonably believe your account poses a security risk; or (d) we decide to discontinue the Service.

Upon termination, all rights and licences granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) will survive.

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Informal Resolution. Before initiating any formal dispute proceeding, you agree to first contact us at success@rankscore.co and provide a written description of the dispute, your desired resolution, and your contact information. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.

Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree to resolve any disputes through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS, as mutually agreed, and will take place in Hillsborough County, Florida, or by telephone or video conference.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights or unauthorised access to the Service.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide at least 14 days' notice by email or by posting a prominent notice on the Service before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Service.

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
• Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices. We may provide notices to you by email to the address associated with your account or by posting notices on the Service. Notices to us must be sent in writing to the address below.
