Terms of Service
Last updated: 6 October 2026
1. Agreement
These Terms govern use of the Aureus Virtus SEO platform (the "Platform") at https://aureusvirtus.com and https://app.aureusvirtus.com, operated by Argumento Vigoroso LDA, a company registered in Portugal, trading as Aureus Virtus ("we", "us", "our").
By creating an account or using the Platform you agree to these Terms. If you use the Platform for an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf.
Where a separate signed agreement exists between us and your organisation, that agreement takes precedence over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.
2. The service
The Platform provides search engine optimisation tooling, including website crawling and technical analysis, keyword and ranking tracking, backlink and competitor analysis, brand monitoring, integration with Google Analytics and Google Search Console, reporting, and an AI-assisted advisory feature.
Module availability depends on your plan or contract. We may add, change or withdraw features; we will give reasonable notice before withdrawing a material feature.
3. Accounts
You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for the confidentiality of your credentials, and must notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorised access. We recommend enabling two-factor authentication.
Accounts are for named individuals and must not be shared. We may suspend an account where we reasonably believe it has been compromised or is being used in breach of these Terms.
4. Acceptable use
You must not: use the Platform to crawl, analyse or monitor a website you neither own nor are authorised to assess; attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform, other customers' data, or any connected system; circumvent rate limits, quotas or access controls; use the Platform to distribute malware, conduct phishing, or for any unlawful purpose; resell or redistribute Platform data except as permitted in your contract; reverse engineer the Platform, except where that right cannot lawfully be restricted.
You are responsible for ensuring your use of crawling and analysis features complies with applicable law and with the terms of the websites concerned.
5. Your data
You retain ownership of the data you upload, configure, or connect to the Platform ("Customer Data"). You grant us a limited licence to process Customer Data solely to provide and support the Platform.
You are responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights and legal basis for any personal data you introduce. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy (link to /privacy).
On termination, you may export your data for 30 days, after which we may delete it in accordance with our retention practices.
6. Third-party services
The Platform integrates with third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and external SEO data providers.
Connecting a third-party account is your decision and remains subject to that provider's own terms. You are responsible for holding the necessary rights and permissions over any account you connect. You may disconnect at any time within the Platform.
We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy or continuity of third-party services. Changes to a provider's API, terms or pricing may affect Platform features, and we will give reasonable notice where such a change is material and known to us in advance.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy (https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy), including the Limited Use requirements.
7. AI-assisted features
The Platform includes an AI assistant that generates recommendations from your project data. Its output is informational and may be incomplete or inaccurate. It is not professional advice, and you should apply your own judgement before acting on it. We do not warrant any particular search ranking, traffic level or commercial outcome.
8. Intellectual property
The Platform, and all software, design and documentation comprising it, remain our property or that of our licensors. These Terms grant a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Platform during your subscription. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
9. Fees
Fees, billing periods and payment terms are as set out in your order form or signed agreement. Subscriptions are billed in advance for the agreed billing period. Invoices are payable within 15 days of issue. We may change prices with at least 30 days' written notice before the next renewal. Late payment may result in suspension of access after written notice.
10. Service availability
We aim to keep the Platform available and to carry out planned maintenance with reasonable notice. We target 99.5% monthly availability, excluding scheduled maintenance. This is a service target, not a contractual guarantee, and no service credits apply unless agreed in a signed order form.
11. Warranties and disclaimers
Except as expressly stated in a signed agreement, the Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. SEO data is derived from third-party sources and search engines and is provided without warranty of accuracy, completeness or timeliness. We do not guarantee any particular search ranking, traffic level or commercial outcome.
12. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, consequential or special loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total aggregate liability under these Terms in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
13. Indemnity
You will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of section 4 (Acceptable use) or from Customer Data you introduce to the Platform.
14. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach of these Terms, non-payment, or where required by law — with notice and an opportunity to remedy where the breach is capable of remedy.
Sections 5, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 15 survive termination.
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, and the courts of Lisbon have exclusive jurisdiction.
16. Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified to account holders by email at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.
