Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the DeptScale website and the services offered through it. By using the website, submitting an enquiry or placing an order, you confirm that you have read and understood the terms relevant to that activity.

If you are ordering on behalf of a company, agency or another organization, you are responsible for having appropriate authority to submit the order and provide the related materials.

2. Our Services

DeptScale provides digital services that may include guest posting, link building, content writing, web development and digital tools or related solutions displayed on our website.

The exact scope of work depends on the service selected and any requirements confirmed between the customer and DeptScale.

We may update, modify, add or discontinue individual services where reasonably necessary.

3. Orders and Service Requirements

Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate information required to process an order. Depending on the service, this may include articles, target URLs, anchor text, images, website details, design requirements or other project instructions.

An order may require review before it is accepted or submitted to a publisher or other service provider. We may request additional information if the supplied instructions are incomplete or unclear.

4. Guest Posting and Link Placements

Guest post and link placement opportunities can be subject to the policies, editorial standards and availability of independent publishers and website administrators.

Website availability, pricing, metrics, turnaround time, link type, content requirements and other placement conditions may change. A listing on DeptScale does not guarantee permanent future availability of that website.

Submitted content may be reviewed by a publisher and may require reasonable editorial changes before publication. A publisher may decline content that does not meet its requirements.

Where a specific placement cannot proceed, DeptScale may communicate available options based on the circumstances of that order.

5. Pricing and Payments

Prices displayed or communicated by DeptScale are subject to the conditions of the relevant service and may change when publisher pricing, project requirements or service costs change.

Where the website asks customers to confirm current pricing or availability before ordering, the latest confirmed price will apply to the order.

Payment terms may vary by service. An order may require payment before work begins or before a placement is submitted or published. Any payment arrangement confirmed specifically for an order will form part of that order's terms.

Customers should never submit card passwords, banking passwords, security codes or other account login credentials through DeptScale order forms.

6. Turnaround Times

Any turnaround time shown or communicated is an estimate unless a specific delivery commitment has been expressly confirmed in writing. Delivery may depend on the service, customer response time, publisher review, content approval and other external factors.

Publisher-controlled services may occasionally take longer than an estimated turnaround time. We aim to communicate meaningful delays when they affect an active order.

7. Revisions and Changes

Revision availability depends on the type and stage of the service. Customers should communicate corrections or requested changes as early as possible.

For guest posts and publisher-controlled placements, changes may become limited or unavailable after an article has been approved, submitted or published. Any post-publication edit remains subject to the publisher's policies and technical ability to make the change.

Major changes that fall outside the originally agreed scope of a content or web development project may require a revised quote or additional fee before the work proceeds.

8. Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for ensuring that information and materials they submit are accurate, lawful and suitable for the requested service.

Customers should ensure that:

• They have permission to use submitted articles, images, logos and other materials
• Target URLs and anchor text are correct before submission
• Submitted content does not knowingly infringe third-party rights
• Claims included in customer-supplied content are lawful and appropriately supported
• Instructions and project requirements are provided clearly and on time
• They review relevant service details before approving an order

9. Intellectual Property

DeptScale retains rights in its website design, branding, original website content and other materials created for its own business, except where third-party rights apply.

Ownership or permitted use of work specifically created for a customer may depend on the agreed service and payment status. Customer-provided materials remain the responsibility of the customer or their respective rights holders.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of third-party websites, publishing platforms, software or other independently owned materials.

10. Third-Party Publishers and Services

Some DeptScale services rely on independent publishers, hosting providers, software platforms, payment services or other third parties. These parties operate under their own policies and may make changes outside DeptScale's control.

DeptScale cannot guarantee that a third-party website, tool or platform will remain unchanged or continuously available.

11. SEO Results and Website Metrics

SEO, guest posting and link building can contribute to a wider digital marketing strategy, but individual outcomes depend on numerous variables outside DeptScale's control.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, we do not guarantee specific Google rankings, traffic levels, conversions, sales or revenue as a result of a service.

Third-party metrics such as domain authority, domain rating and estimated traffic can change over time and may differ between analytics providers.

12. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation and refund eligibility depends on the service, the stage of work and whether costs have already been committed to a publisher or another third party.

Customers should contact DeptScale promptly if they wish to cancel an order. If work has already begun, content has been prepared, a placement has been submitted, or payment has been committed to a publisher, a full refund may not be available.

Any refund or alternative resolution will be assessed according to the circumstances of the order, applicable law and any specific terms agreed for that service.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, DeptScale is not liable for indirect or consequential losses caused solely by third-party platform changes, search engine updates, publisher decisions or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Changes to These Terms

DeptScale may update these Terms & Conditions when our services, website, processes or applicable requirements change. The latest version may be published on this page with an updated revision date.

Continued use of the website after an update is subject to the current version of these Terms where permitted by applicable law.
