Effective Date: July 5, 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

Welcome to RankNotary ("RankNotary," "we," "our," or "us").

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the RankNotary website, products, services, client portal, and any related content or features.

By accessing or using our website or purchasing any of our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our website or services.


2. Our Services

RankNotary provides website design, website development, WordPress hosting, website maintenance, search engine optimization, consulting, educational resources, and other digital marketing services primarily for notaries and related businesses.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time.


3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement to use our services.


4. Client Accounts

Some services require the creation of a client account.

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
  • Ensuring your account information remains accurate.
  • All activity occurring under your account.

Notify us immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.


5. Quotes and Projects

Project proposals and quotes remain valid for the period stated in the proposal.

A project is considered accepted once payment has been received or a written acceptance has been provided.

Project timelines depend on receiving timely feedback, approvals, and requested content from the client.

Delays in providing required materials may delay project completion.


6. Payments

Payment terms will be provided during the ordering process or in your project proposal.

Failure to make payments may result in suspension or termination of services.

You are responsible for any applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.


7. Subscription Services

Some RankNotary services are offered on a recurring subscription basis.

By subscribing, you authorize recurring billing using your selected payment method until your subscription is cancelled.

Subscription pricing may change in the future. If pricing changes, existing customers will be notified in advance.


8. Cancellation

You may cancel recurring services by providing written notice.

Cancellation of recurring services does not entitle you to refunds for services already provided.

Any outstanding balances remain due.


9. Refunds

Due to the custom nature of website design and digital services, payments are generally non-refundable once work has begun.

Refund requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.


10. Client Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate information.
  • Supply requested content promptly.
  • Maintain ownership or permission for all content you provide.
  • Review completed work in a timely manner.
  • Obtain any necessary legal permissions for your business.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of content submitted to us.


11. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • You retain ownership of content you provide.
  • RankNotary retains ownership of its proprietary systems, templates, processes, software, graphics, and original materials.

Upon full payment, you receive the rights to the completed website content specifically created for your project, excluding third-party software, plugins, fonts, stock assets, and licensed materials.


12. Third-Party Services

Our services may integrate with third-party providers including:

  • WordPress
  • Payment processors
  • Domain registrars
  • Hosting providers

  • Email providers
  • Scheduling platforms
  • Analytics providers

We are not responsible for outages, policy changes, pricing changes, or actions taken by third-party providers.


13. Search Engine Optimization

We may provide search engine optimization services and recommendations.

Because search engine algorithms are controlled by third parties and change frequently, we do not guarantee:

  • Search rankings
  • Website traffic
  • Lead generation
  • Sales
  • Revenue
  • Business growth

SEO results depend on numerous factors outside our control.


14. Website Availability

While we strive for reliable service, we do not guarantee uninterrupted website availability.

Maintenance, software updates, internet outages, cyberattacks, and circumstances beyond our control may temporarily affect website accessibility.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RankNotary disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.


17. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, RankNotary shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website or services.

Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to RankNotary for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

Termination does not relieve you of any outstanding payment obligations.

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws applicable to RankNotary's principal place of business, without regard to conflict of law principles.
