Terms of service

About these termsLink copied

These terms are an agreement between you and iCopify LTD, a company registered in England (company number 12507502) (“Austant”, “we”, “us”). They cover your use of Austant, our website and related services (the “service”). By creating an account or using the service, you accept these terms and our privacy policy.

If you use Austant for a company or other organisation, you accept these terms on its behalf and confirm that you’re authorised to do so. “You” then means that organisation.

The serviceLink copied

Austant monitors backlinks: it imports links pointing to the domains you add, checks the linking pages on a schedule, records what changes, and alerts your team. It also offers reports on anchors, target pages and competitors, and lets you build a disavow file.

Austant gives you information. Decisions about your website, your link building and your search strategy are yours. Austant never submits a disavow file for you, and you’re responsible for any file you submit to a search engine.

Accounts and teamsLink copied

• You must be at least 16, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live.
• Give us accurate details and keep them up to date.
• Keep your password safe and don’t share your login. You’re responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has used it.
• A team’s owner is responsible for the team’s subscription and for the people they invite. Members can see and change the team’s workspace according to their role.

Free trial and billingLink copied

• Trial. New customers get a 14-day free trial of the plan they choose. A card is required to start it. If you don’t cancel before the trial ends, your card is charged for that plan and your subscription begins.
• Renewal. Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically at the end of each month until cancelled.
• Prices and taxes. Prices are shown on our pricing page in USD. Taxes such as VAT or sales tax are added where they apply.
• Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe and are also subject to Stripe’s terms. You authorise us to charge the payment method on file for each renewal and for any plan change.
• Plan changes. Each plan has limits, such as the number of domains and backlinks it covers. If you upgrade, the new plan applies straight away. If your team uses more than a lower plan allows, you may need to reduce that usage before you can downgrade, and some features may be limited until you do.
• Price changes. If we change the price of your plan, we’ll tell you at least 30 days before your next renewal at the new price. You can cancel before then.
• Failed payments. If a payment fails, we’ll try again and let you know. If it still can’t be collected, we may limit or cancel the subscription.

Cancellation and refundsLink copied

You can cancel at any time from the subscription page. When you cancel, you keep access until the end of your trial or of the period you’ve already paid for, and you won’t be charged again.

Payments are non-refundable, and we don’t give refunds or credits for partial periods or unused time, except where the law requires it. This doesn’t affect any rights you have as a consumer that can’t be excluded.

Acceptable useLink copied

When you use Austant, you agree not to:

• break any law, or use the service to harass, harm or invade the privacy of anyone;
• try to get into accounts, systems or data that aren’t yours, or test or break our security;
• overload, disrupt or interfere with the service, or get around its plan limits;
• scrape, copy or reverse engineer the service, except where the law allows it;
• resell, sublicense or provide the service to others without our written permission; or
• upload anything harmful, such as malware, or anything you don’t have the right to share.

Your contentLink copied

You own the data you and your team add to Austant, such as domains, links, tags and notes. You give us permission to store and process it only as needed to provide the service to you. You’re responsible for having the right to add it.

You can export or delete your content while your account is open. After an account or team is deleted, we delete its content as described in our privacy policy.

Our propertyLink copied

Austant, including its software, design, text and brand, belongs to us and our licensors. We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service under these terms while your subscription is active. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Affiliate programmeLink copied

Customers can refer others to Austant with their own affiliate link. If you do:

• You earn 20% of each paid invoice, excluding tax, from customers you refer, for 12 months from their first paid invoice. A referral counts if they sign up within 30 days of visiting through your link.
• Commissions are held for 30 days. Refunds and chargebacks reverse them. Once approved, you can withdraw your balance when it reaches $50, using the payout method in your account.
• You can’t refer yourself or your own team, use spam or misleading claims, or present yourself as Austant.
• We may withhold or reverse commissions earned through fraud or by breaking these rules, and we may change or end the programme. Commissions you’ve already earned under the rules will still be paid.
• You’re responsible for any taxes on what you earn.

Third-party servicesLink copied

Austant relies on other services, such as our backlink data provider and Stripe for payments, and it reads third-party websites to check links. We don’t control those services or websites and aren’t responsible for their content, availability or accuracy. Your use of Stripe’s payment pages is also subject to Stripe’s terms.

Availability and changesLink copied

We work to keep Austant available and reliable, but we don’t guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We sometimes need to take it offline for maintenance, and we try to do so at quiet times.

We improve Austant all the time and may add, change or remove features. If we remove a major feature you pay for, we’ll tell you in advance.

Suspension and terminationLink copied

You can stop using Austant and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or close an account or team if it breaks these terms, if payment can’t be collected, if it puts the service or other users at risk, or if the law requires it. Where it’s reasonable, we’ll tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.

The sections on your content, our property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnity continue to apply after the agreement ends.

DisclaimersLink copied

Austant is provided “as is” and “as available”. Backlink data comes from the public web and third-party providers, and websites change constantly, so we can’t promise that every link will be found, that every check will be accurate, or that alerts will arrive on time. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Limitation of liabilityLink copied

To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, rankings, traffic, data or goodwill, arising from your use of Austant.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

IndemnityLink copied

You agree to cover us against claims, losses and costs, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your content, your breach of these terms or your misuse of the service.

Changes to these termsLink copied

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If a change is significant, we’ll tell you by email or in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you keep using Austant after that, the new terms apply. If you don’t agree, you can cancel before they take effect.

Governing law and disputesLink copied

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of England and Wales, except where consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim in the courts of your home country.

If any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. These terms, together with our privacy policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the service.
