If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. If you do not agree, do not use our services.
1. Parties
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between Ecomlinex LLC, a Delaware limited liability company doing business as CodLinex ("CodLinex," "we," "us"), and the Client. These Terms govern access to and use of CodLinex's website, platforms, AI agent systems, GEO optimization services, and all related deliverables (collectively, the "Services").

CodLinex provides the following categories of Services:
2.1 AI Agent System Development & Deployment

Systems are integrated with Client's existing tools and workflows and deployed within the agreed timeline (standard: 48 hours from onboarding completion).
2.2 Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
Technical and content optimization services designed to improve a website's visibility in AI-generated responses on platforms including ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. GEO services are informed by peer-reviewed research (Aggarwal et al., Princeton KDD 2024) and proprietary methodology. CodLinex does not guarantee specific rankings or citation rates, as AI platform behavior is controlled by third parties outside our control.

Monthly automated auditing of GEO scores, competitive positioning, and AI visibility metrics. Includes report generation and file updates as applicable under the service plan.
3. AI System Terms
3.1 Nature of AI Outputs
AI-generated content, responses, decisions, and recommendations produced by systems built by CodLinex are probabilistic outputs, not guaranteed facts or professional advice.

Client is solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and approving all AI-generated outputs before use in business operations, customer-facing communications, or decision-making.
3.2 No Professional Advice
CodLinex AI systems are not a substitute for licensed professional advice. Systems deployed in or adjacent to regulated industries β including but not limited to healthcare, financial services, legal services, insurance, and real estate β must comply with all applicable regulations.

3.3 Human Oversight Requirement

This includes configuring escalation thresholds, reviewing automated communications before broad deployment, and monitoring system behavior on an ongoing basis. CodLinex provides monitoring tools and dashboards; ultimate oversight responsibility lies with the Client.
3.4 Data Input Responsibility
Client is responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of all data, content, and instructions provided as input to AI systems. CodLinex does not independently verify input data. Client warrants that data provided does not violate third-party rights, applicable law, or the acceptable use policies of underlying AI model providers.
3.5 Third-Party AI Model Providers
CodLinex AI systems use foundation models provided by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. These providers maintain independent terms of service and usage policies. CodLinex reserves the right to switch underlying AI models to maintain service quality, with 30 days' notice to Client except in cases of model deprecation by the provider. Performance characteristics may vary between models.

Questions about our terms?
info@codlinex.com β1. Our Commitment
CodLinex stands behind the quality of its AI automation and GEO optimization services. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all subscription plans β Starter, Growth, and Enterprise β because we believe the value of our work should be self-evident.
This guarantee reflects our confidence in delivering measurable results. If our services do not meet your expectations within the first 30 days, you are entitled to a full refund of your initial payment.
2. 30-Day Guarantee Terms
2.1 What Qualifies
- The guarantee applies to the first payment of any subscription plan.
- Eligible requests must be received within 30 calendar days of the initial payment date.
- The guarantee applies to all plan tiers: Starter, Growth, and Enterprise.
- One refund per business entity. The guarantee does not apply to subsequent subscriptions or re-subscriptions after a prior refund.
2.2 What "Full Refund" Means
A full refund covers the subscription fee paid for the first billing period. The refund is returned to the original payment method (credit/debit card via Stripe). Processing time is 5β10 business days from approval, plus any additional time required by your bank or card issuer.
2.3 No Questions Asked
You do not need to provide a reason for requesting a refund within the 30-day window. We may ask for brief feedback to improve our services β this is entirely optional and will not affect your refund eligibility or processing time.
3. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund within the 30-day window:
- Send an email to info@codlinex.com with the subject line: "Refund Request β [Your Company Name]"
- Include your full name, email address used at signup, and date of purchase.
- You will receive confirmation within 1 business day.
- Refund is initiated within 2 business days of confirmation.
- Funds appear in your account within 5β10 business days depending on your payment provider.
Following refund approval, your AI agent systems will be deactivated at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to any deliverables already completed (e.g., GEO audit reports, documentation). Reactivation at any time is available at standard pricing.
4. Non-Refundable Items & Exceptions
4.1 Payments Beyond 30 Days
Monthly subscription renewals (second month and beyond) are non-refundable. Cancellation stops future charges; it does not generate refunds for past billing periods. To avoid unwanted charges, cancel before the renewal date.
4.2 Custom Development Work
Fees for custom agent development, bespoke integrations, or one-time build work that has been delivered and accepted are non-refundable, as these represent time and resources already expended. A clear scope of work and acceptance process is established before such work begins.
4.3 GEO Audit Fees (One-Time)
Where GEO audits are offered as standalone one-time services, these fees are non-refundable once the audit report has been delivered, as the work has been completed and the deliverable provided.
4.4 Third-Party Costs
CodLinex may incur costs with third-party providers (API usage, platform fees, tool licenses) in the process of delivering services. These costs are not refundable once incurred, though they are typically absorbed within subscription pricing and not separately charged.
4.5 Violation of Terms
Refunds are not available where services have been terminated due to violations of our Terms of Use, including but not limited to acceptable use policy violations, payment fraud, or misrepresentation.
5. Cancellation vs. Refund
| Action | Within 30 Days | After 30 Days |
|---|---|---|
| Cancellation | Stops future charges | Stops future charges |
| Refund | Full refund of initial payment | Not available |
| Service Access | Continues until billing period ends | Continues until billing period ends |
| Agent Systems | Deactivated at period end | Deactivated at period end |
| Deliverables | Retained by Client | Retained by Client |
6. Disputes
If you believe a charge was made in error or you have a billing dispute not covered by this policy, please contact us at info@codlinex.com. We commit to investigating and responding to all billing disputes within 5 business days. We prefer to resolve issues directly before any chargeback is initiated with your payment provider.
7. Currency & Taxes
All prices are in United States Dollars (USD). Applicable taxes (including VAT, GST, or sales tax) may be added depending on your location and the nature of services provided. Tax amounts are disclosed at checkout. Refunds are returned in USD; currency conversion and exchange rate differences are outside our control and not our responsibility.
