Termination Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

Service Agreement Terms
This document outlines the conditions under which SmallBizSEO may suspend or terminate services, as well as the obligations of both parties following the conclusion of our professional engagement.

1. Grounds for Suspension and Termination

SmallBizSEO reserves the right to suspend or terminate services immediately under the following circumstances: non-payment of invoices beyond the grace period, abuse or harassment of our staff or systems, engagement in illegal activities, or violations of platform-specific terms of service. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for actions that compromise our operational integrity or the safety of our team.

Questions about billing? Contact us via our support page.

2. Failure to Provide Access or Approvals

Our ability to deliver SEO results depends on timely access to your website, analytics, and content approvals. Failure to provide necessary credentials or feedback within thirty (30) days may result in service suspension. SmallBizSEO is not liable for performance delays caused by client-side inaction or withholding of critical technical access.

3. Reputational Risk and Ethical Standards

We may terminate this agreement if a client's business practices pose a significant reputational risk to SmallBizSEO. This includes requests for deceptive, 'black-hat', or spammy SEO practices that violate search engine guidelines. We are committed to ethical marketing and will not fulfill requests that could lead to permanent domain penalties or legal repercussions.

4. Material Breach of Contract

Either party may terminate the agreement upon written notice if the other party commits a material breach of these terms and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days of notification. Material breaches include, but are not limited to, unauthorized use of proprietary methodologies or failure to deliver services as outlined in the signed Statement of Work.

5. Post-Termination Obligations

Upon termination, the client is responsible for the immediate payment of all outstanding final invoices for work performed. SmallBizSEO will return or delete all client-provided confidential information in accordance with our data retention policy. Client access to proprietary SmallBizSEO reporting dashboards and tools will be revoked at the close of the final billing cycle.

For data handling details, see our Data Retention Policy.

6. Handoff of Final Deliverables

Final deliverables, including completed content and technical audits, will be handed over to the client provided all outstanding balances are paid in full. SmallBizSEO does not 'lock' SEO improvements; however, we are not responsible for maintaining or updating site performance once the professional relationship has concluded.

7. Survival of Specific Clauses

Certain provisions of this agreement shall survive termination, including but not limited to: Intellectual Property rights, final payment obligations, confidentiality agreements, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution clauses. These terms remain binding to protect the interests of both parties beyond the active service period.

8. Formal Notice Procedure

All termination notices must be submitted in writing via email to our billing or account management department. Termination is considered effective on the last day of the current billing month, unless otherwise specified in a custom service level agreement. We recommend a formal offboarding call to ensure a smooth transition of assets.
