Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of August's website, applications, free tools, reports and related services. August AI is the trading name of Dharit Gabani, an individual operator based in India. Our contact address is: 88 East San Carlos St, San Jose, CA 95112, United States. Contact us at [email protected].

By accepting these terms, you enter this agreement personally or on behalf of the business you represent. If you act for a business, you must have authority to bind it. August is intended for business use by adults aged 18 or older, including freelancers and sole traders. Applicable mandatory consumer rights are not excluded by these terms.

Provide accurate account information, protect your credentials, and promptly report unauthorized access. Workspace administrators manage membership, access, integrations and shared materials. You are responsible for the people you invite and for having authority to connect accounts and submit materials.

Your selected plan and checkout identify the services, billing interval and allowances you purchase. Trials and free tools have their own disclosed limits. Third-party outages, inaccessible websites and usage limits can prevent a scan from completing. Results will identify limitations where available; an absent result is not proof that a brand or page does not exist.

August records and analyzes third-party AI answers and website information. Answers vary by prompt, model, time, settings and context. Our measurements are samples of the services and prompts checked, not a census of every answer a buyer receives. A historical crawl record does not establish that a particular AI model trained on that page.

Generated drafts, recommendations and code may contain mistakes or resemble other material. Review their accuracy, rights and suitability before using them. You retain your rights in your inputs. To the extent we hold transferable rights in output created for you, we assign those rights to you, excluding our software and third-party materials. We do not promise that AI output is unique or eligible for copyright protection.

Copyable content, HTML, agent instructions and GitHub draft PRs are proposed work. Creating a draft PR does not merge it or deploy a website. You control publication of those changes. Separately ordered Store services may involve publication by suppliers under the delivery terms presented for that order.

AI services and publishers are independent of August. Except for an express written guarantee attached to your purchase, we do not promise a particular ranking, citation, traffic level, revenue or permanent placement. This does not remove remedies under an applicable express guarantee or mandatory law.

You grant us the limited permission needed to host, process and transmit your materials to deliver the features you request, maintain security and provide support. You must have the necessary rights and permissions. Do not submit sensitive personal information, secrets or regulated records that the service is not designed to handle.

Connecting a service authorizes access within the permissions you grant and the features you request. You can revoke access; revocation stops future access but does not necessarily erase results already imported. Your use of connected services remains subject to their terms. Information you choose to share with others or publish is disclosed to those recipients.

We protect non-public customer materials as confidential, restrict access to people and providers who need it to perform the service, and use them only for permitted purposes. This does not restrict information independently developed, already lawfully known, publicly available without breach, or legally required to be disclosed. Our privacy policy explains personal information processing. If you need a data processing agreement for personal information you instruct us to process, contact [email protected] before providing that information. Any separately agreed data processing terms govern that processing if they conflict with these terms.

For website purchases, the checkout shows your price, currency, taxes, interval and any trial. If you accept a seven-day trial requiring a payment method, your selected paid subscription starts automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel beforehand. Subscriptions then renew for the displayed interval until canceled. Manage website billing through Billing in August.

For App Store purchases, Apple handles payment and subscription management, with RevenueCat helping August maintain your access. The Apple purchase screen governs the offered price, period, introductory eligibility and renewal information. Manage or cancel these subscriptions through your Apple account. Refund requests for Apple purchases follow Apple's process, subject to applicable law. Signing out or uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.

The billing confirmation identifies when a plan change takes effect and any prorated charge or credit. Website cancellation stops future renewals; paid access normally continues until the end of the current paid period. We disclose material renewal price changes before they apply and seek any consent required by law. Failed payments may interrupt access. Cancellation does not itself erase account information.

Except under an express refund promise or where law requires otherwise, paid subscription periods are not partially refunded.

If August has not recorded at least one newly earned AI recommendation within your first 90 paid days, you may claim a refund of the subscription fees covered by this guarantee. The period starts when your first paid subscription begins, not when a free trial begins. Store orders and purchased Store credits are excluded and remain subject to their separate refund terms.

For this guarantee, a new recommendation means an explicit recommendation of your brand in a tracked AI answer that was absent from the starting audit for the same prompt and engine. The prompt must not name your brand. An incidental mention or a citation without a recommendation does not count. This measures recorded answers; AI answers can vary between runs.

To request review after day 90, email [email protected] with your account email and brand. We assess the starting audit and subsequent recorded answers. You do not need to buy Store services to make a claim. Missing measurements are not treated as proof that we achieved the promised result.

For monthly subscriptions, the refund covers subscription payments for the first 90 paid days. For an annual subscription, it covers the full annual subscription payment, not a prorated 90-day amount. Refunded amounts cannot exceed what you actually paid, less amounts already refunded. A guarantee refund ends the refunded subscription.

Contact August for guarantee claims regardless of where you subscribed. For App Store purchases, Apple controls its payment and refund process; we will help you pursue the refund through Apple. If Apple cannot process an approved guarantee refund, we remain responsible for honoring our guarantee and will arrange another lawful refund method with you. We do not issue duplicate refunds for the same payment.

Included plan credit expires 90 days after it becomes available. Purchased Store credit does not expire. Credits apply to eligible Store orders and are not redeemable for cash except where required by law. Checkout shows any remainder to be charged. A refunded order restores purchased credit without expiry and included plan credit with a new 90-day expiry.

Store orders are refundable before August pays the supplier. Once fulfillment begins or the supplier is paid, we first attempt a reasonable replacement or remedy; if the agreed delivery terms were not met, we refund the order. The order description controls the deliverable. Publisher acceptance, permanence, indexing and visibility outcomes are not promised unless expressly included in that order. Paid content must carry disclosures required by law and publisher policies.

Do not use August to infringe rights, break the law, impersonate others, submit malicious content, send spam, obtain unauthorized access, evade service limits, or interfere with systems. Do not pass fabricated reports off as measured results. We may restrict access where reasonably needed to prevent harm, address violations or comply with law, and provide notice when appropriate.

Our software, design and branding remain ours or our licensors'. You may use reports and output for your business and client work within your plan and these terms; that does not transfer ownership of August's platform.

You can stop using August and request account or workspace closure. Cancellation, closure, erasure and resolution of open orders are distinct processes. We retain records only as described in our privacy policy and as permitted or required by law. Accrued payment obligations and provisions that logically survive termination remain effective.

The service is provided as available. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and liability for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability arising from the service is limited to the greater of US$100 or the fees you paid us in the preceding twelve months. These exclusions and limits do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or remove an express refund remedy. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct, or other liability that applicable law does not permit us to limit.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, subject to any mandatory protections that apply where you live or use the service. Courts with lawful jurisdiction may hear disputes; these terms do not require arbitration or prevent you from bringing a claim in a court available under mandatory law. Contact [email protected] so we can try to resolve a concern directly; this does not restrict your right to seek urgent relief or exercise statutory rights.

We may update these terms. We will identify the effective version and give notice of material changes as required, obtaining fresh agreement where necessary. Questions and complaints: [email protected].
