4. Description of Service

Sightivo is a backlink research and outreach management platform that enables users to:

• Analyze backlink data from third-party SEO tools (such as SEMrush and Ahrefs) or CSV files
• Identify and organize backlink opportunities
• Receive ranked recommendations, fit scores, and suggested next steps based on that data
• Discover contact information for website authors and editors through third-party enrichment services
• Create and manage email outreach sequences with AI-powered personalization
• Export contact data to email sequencing tools
• Send approved outreach emails, and receive replies to them, through a Sightivo-provided outreach inbox, where sending and receiving run on email infrastructure operated by Sightivo's third-party email infrastructure providers
• Optionally verify a domain you control so that outreach sends from an address on that domain
• Optionally connect Google Search Console and Google Analytics, by authorising Sightivo through Google's OAuth consent screen, so that we can import your search and traffic data on a read-only basis
• Use that Search Console and Analytics data to track the results of your outreach — how impressions, clicks, rankings, and traffic move after a mention or link goes live — and to inform the opportunities and recommendations the Service surfaces
• Disconnect Google Search Console or Google Analytics at any time from your account settings or your Google Account permissions page, after which Sightivo stops receiving new data from those properties

5. Account Registration and Security

To use the Service, you must create an Account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Maintain and promptly update your Account information
• Maintain the confidentiality of your Account credentials
• Immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your Account
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account
• Ensure that all Authorized Users comply with these Terms

6. Fees, Billing, and Renewals

Certain features of the Service require a paid subscription.

• Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which you are responsible for paying
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date
• Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as explicitly stated in our refund policy
• We may change fees with at least 30 days' advance notice before your next renewal
• You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You agree NOT to:

• Send unsolicited bulk emails (spam) or violate anti-spam laws including the CAN-SPAM Act, GDPR, CASL, or other applicable regulations
• Send emails to purchased, rented, or scraped contact lists, or to any recipient for whom you lack a lawful basis to make contact
• Use the Service to harvest, collect, or store personal data without proper consent or legal basis
• Send emails containing false, misleading, or deceptive content, or with falsified headers, sender identities, or envelope information
• Attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with sending limits, warm-up ceilings, suppression lists, or other deliverability and reputation controls enforced by the Service

• Protected health information subject to HIPAA or similar regulations
• Biometric identifiers or genetic data
• Data subject to regulatory requirements that the Service is not designed to meet
• Content that is illegal, harmful, or infringes third-party rights

9. Email Outreach Compliance

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You are solely responsible for ensuring your email outreach complies with all applicable laws and regulations
• You will include accurate sender information and a valid physical address in all outreach emails
• Sightivo lets you record a physical mailing address in your sending settings and appends it to the footer of outreach emails when you have provided and confirmed one. Providing an address is optional within the Service and Sightivo does not verify it or require it before sending. Determining whether a given message is commercial email requiring a physical postal address under CAN-SPAM or equivalent law, and providing an accurate address where it is required, remains solely your responsibility
• You will honor unsubscribe requests promptly (within 10 business days)
• You will not send emails to individuals who have opted out or requested not to be contacted
• You have obtained any necessary consents before sending marketing communications to individuals in jurisdictions that require opt-in consent (such as the EU/EEA under GDPR)
• Sightivo transmits the outreach emails you compose and approve on your behalf, through a Sightivo-provided outreach inbox. You remain the sender of those communications and are solely responsible for their content, recipients, and legal compliance
• Sending and receiving through a Sightivo-provided inbox occur on email infrastructure operated by Sightivo's third-party email infrastructure providers. Your use of that inbox is additionally subject to those providers' acceptable-use and anti-abuse policies, and you agree not to use it for unsolicited bulk email or any activity that would breach those policies
• Where you verify your own domain for sending, you represent that you control that domain and are authorised to send email from it, and you remain responsible for its sending reputation and for any DNS records you add to enable sending
• Sightivo is not a bulk email service and does not send emails independently of your instruction: every outreach email requires your explicit approval before it is sent. You are the sender of all outreach emails and are solely responsible for their content, their recipients, your lawful basis for contacting each recipient, and compliance with applicable law, including CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and CASL
• Sightivo may enforce sending limits, warm-up ceilings, recipient suppression, and bounce/complaint thresholds on any inbox used with the Service, and may throttle, suspend, or disable sending (or a Sightivo-provided inbox) with or without notice where sending behavior risks recipient harm, legal non-compliance, or the standing of Sightivo or its email infrastructure providers
• Sightivo does not guarantee deliverability. Messages may be delayed, throttled, filtered, or rejected by receiving mail systems or by our email infrastructure providers, and Sightivo is not responsible for those outcomes

10. AI Features, Recommendations, and Guidance

The Service includes AI Features to help personalize your outreach emails. These features may analyze article content, author information, and your templates to generate customized email copy. You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated email content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate for your specific situation
• You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving all AI Output before sending any emails
• AI Output is a starting point for your outreach, not final copy ready to send
• AI Output does not constitute professional marketing, legal, or business advice
• We may use AI Input and AI Output to improve our AI Features, unless you opt out
• You may opt out of model improvement by contacting us at [email protected]
• AI Features are provided "as is" without guarantees of email deliverability, response rates, or any specific outcomes

The Service also produces recommendations, opportunity rankings, fit or priority scores, suggested targets, checklists, and other guidance (collectively, "Recommendations"), including guidance generated from data you connect through Google Search Console, Google Analytics, or third-party SEO tools. Recommendations are informed, data-driven suggestions about where to focus, based on the data available to us at the time. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Recommendations are informed opinions and prioritization aids. They are not a promise, warranty, or prediction of any outcome
• You are solely responsible for deciding whether to act on any Recommendation, and for how you execute on it
• Following some, all, or none of the Recommendations will not necessarily result in new backlinks, media coverage, brand mentions, citations in AI assistants or answer engines, improved search engine rankings, increased traffic, leads, or revenue
• Search engines and AI systems (including Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and similar systems) are controlled by third parties, change their ranking, indexing, retrieval, and citation behavior without notice, and do not disclose how those decisions are made
• Many factors outside our control and outside the Service could affect your results, including but not limited to the quality, maturity, and differentiation of your product or service; your pricing and category; the volume, recency, and sentiment of your online reviews; your brand recognition and existing audience; your distribution channels, partnerships, and professional network; the strength and technical health of your website and existing content; the quality, timing, and volume of your outreach; competitor activity; editorial discretion of the publishers and authors you contact; your budget and the time you invest; and general market conditions
• Scores, fit ratings, rankings, and estimates shown in the Service are relative heuristics generated from available data. They may be inaccurate or based on stale, incomplete, or incorrect third-party data, and they do not measure the likelihood that any particular outcome will occur
• Link building, digital PR, and AI visibility work is inherently uncertain, may take months to show any effect, and results vary widely between users. Any result achieved by one user is not typical and does not indicate what you should expect

11. Customer Content

You retain ownership of your Customer Content. By using the Service, you grant Sightivo a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to:

• Process, store, and display your Customer Content to provide the Service
• Create backups and copies for disaster recovery purposes
• Aggregate and anonymize data for analytics and service improvement

You represent that you have all necessary rights to your Customer Content and that it does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

12. Third-Party Integrations

The Service integrates with third-party services including SEMrush, Ahrefs, Apollo, Google Search Console and Google Analytics (via Google OAuth), and other email sequencing platforms, and provides outreach inbox functionality through third-party email infrastructure providers. Your use of these integrations is subject to the respective third-party terms of service, and your use of a Sightivo-provided inbox is subject to our email infrastructure providers' acceptable-use policies; violations may result in throttling or suspension of sending under Section 9. When you connect a Google account so that Sightivo can import your Search Console and Analytics data, Sightivo's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements, as described in our Privacy Policy; we request read-only scopes for those properties and do not request access to your Gmail. Sightivo is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or functionality of third-party services. You are responsible for maintaining valid subscriptions and API access to any third-party services you connect.

13. Data Enrichment

Sightivo may use third-party data providers to enrich contact information. You acknowledge that:

• Enriched data is provided "as is" without warranty of accuracy or completeness
• You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of contact information before use
• You will use enriched data only for legitimate business purposes in compliance with applicable privacy laws
• Contact information may become outdated and should be periodically verified

14. Privacy and Data Protection

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you require a Data Processing Addendum for GDPR compliance, please contact us at [email protected].

15. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other party's confidential information with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care. Confidential information does not include information that is publicly available, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party without restriction.

16. Security

We maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Customer Content. However, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never defeat our security measures. You acknowledge that you provide Customer Content at your own risk.

17. Intellectual Property

We may also perform scheduled maintenance that temporarily limits access to the Service. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of significant changes or planned maintenance.

20. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, epidemics, strikes, or failures of third-party services or infrastructure.

21. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. You may terminate your Account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.

Product screenshots, interface previews, dashboards, sample data, metrics, and example scenarios shown on our website and in marketing materials are illustrative only. They do not depict actual customer data or actual results, and they are not a representation or promise of any particular outcome. Statistics cited from third-party studies reflect those studies' findings, not results achieved with the Service.
