You may cancel your subscription at any time. When you cancel:
- You will generally retain access to paid features until the end of your current billing period.
- After that, your license may downgrade or deactivate, and Pro features may no longer be available.
Cancellation does not automatically entitle you to a refund (see Section 6).
4. License & permitted use
When you purchase Crash Course SEO Pro, you are granted a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable license to install and use the plugin on sites covered by your plan, subject to these Terms.
Unless otherwise specified:
- The Solo / individual plan is intended for use on your own websites or limited client projects as described on the pricing page.

You agree not to:
- Resell, rent, share, or redistribute the plugin or license key outside of what your plan allows.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to access the source code, except where permitted by law.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate licenses that are clearly abused, shared beyond plan limits, or used in violation of these Terms.
5. Use of third‑party services (AI, hosting, analytics)
Crash Course SEO integrates with and/or relies on third‑party services, including but not limited to:
- Gumroad – for payment and subscription management
- AI providers (e.g. OpenAI) – for generating content, reports, or suggestions
- Hosting providers – for our website and APIs
- Analytics and logging tools – to monitor usage and performance
When you use features like DeepScan or Alt Tag Checker, portions of your page content, URLs, and metrics may be sent to AI or other third‑party providers to generate results.
Your use of these third‑party services is subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for their acts or omissions.
6. Refund policy
Because Crash Course SEO is a digital product with instantly accessible features, our general refund policy is:
- All sales are considered final once the product or license has been delivered, unless a different refund policy is clearly stated on the product page at the time of purchase.
That said, we genuinely want happy customers. If you encounter a technical issue that prevents you from using the product as described:
- Please contact us at [email protected]
- with details, and
- Give us a reasonable opportunity to troubleshoot and help.
In some cases, at our sole discretion, we may offer a refund or partial refund, especially where the product cannot reasonably be used as advertised and the issue cannot be resolved.
Any refunds, when granted, will be processed via Gumroad and returned to the original payment method where possible.
7. No guarantees / results disclaimer
Crash Course SEO is designed to help with SEO‑related tasks (such as rewriting content, analyzing pages, highlighting alt text issues, etc.), but:
- We cannot guarantee specific rankings, traffic, revenue, or other business outcomes.
- SEO performance depends on many factors outside our control, including your content, competition, website quality, niche, and search engine algorithms.
All strategies, suggestions, and generated content should be reviewed by you and adapted to your specific context and applicable laws.
8. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated:
- The Crash Course SEO plugin, website, branding, designs, content, documentation, and any custom code we provide remain our intellectual property.

If you’re happy with this, the next “launch prep” step I’d tackle is:
- Double‑check all top‑level nav + CTAs (Pricing buttons, DeepScan hero, Alt Checker hero, footer CTA) to make sure every “Buy” or “Get Pro” link goes to the same Gumroad product and the flow is smooth on desktop + mobile. If you want, I can give you a quick click‑through checklist for that too.
