1. Agreement
By using crawlranker.com (“the Service”) you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We may update these Terms at any time; the “last updated” date above always reflects the current version.
2. The Service
CrawlRanker accepts a single URL and returns an SEO audit and an AI-automation score. During the public beta the Service is free and does not require an account. The Service is provided as a website only; there is no installable app, API key, or paid tier at the time of writing.
3. Public scan reports
By submitting a URL you create a public scan report at crawlranker.com/…/s/{id}. That report URL is publicly accessible by default. It is included in our sitemap and may be indexed by search engines. If you do not want a scan to be public, do not submit it.
You can request removal of a specific public scan by emailing the address at the bottom of this page with the report URL and the reason. We will action the request within 7 days. We may decline removal if the scan provides legitimate factual context (for example, a methodology dispute that is itself a matter of public record).
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Scan any URL you are not authorised to test, including sites behind authentication, internal hostnames, or pages explicitly disallowed for crawling by the site's operator.
- Submit URLs at a rate intended to overwhelm the Service or cause cost spikes against our API budget.
- Use the Service for content moderation, legal evidence-gathering, employment screening, or any decision that materially affects another person. The score is not designed for those purposes (see § 7).
- Attempt to bypass rate limits, scrape the report pages programmatically, or resell the output as a paid service.
We may rate-limit, block, or revoke access from any IP, network, or actor that violates the above. There is no individual notification because there are no accounts.
5. Content ownership
The text, layout, design, brand assets, and methodology of CrawlRanker are owned by CrawlRanker. You may quote scan results and link to report URLs freely. The structure, scoring rubric, and prompt design are not licensed for reuse.
The website you submit a URL for remains the property of its operator. CrawlRanker stores a parsed copy of the page solely to produce the scan report and operate the Service. We do not redistribute the scanned page content beyond what is shown in the report.
6. Third-party processors
The scan pipeline relies on third parties, listed in the privacy policy. Submitting a URL to the Service constitutes consent for that URL's public content to be sent to those processors for the limited purpose of producing the scan.
7. No warranty & limited use
The Service is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. AI-automation scoring is probabilistic and ships with explicit confidence figures for that reason. Scores can be wrong. Findings can be wrong.
Do not use CrawlRanker as the sole basis for any consequential decision — hiring, firing, contract termination, content moderation, plagiarism allegations, or anything else that materially affects another person. The score is a signal, not a verdict.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CrawlRanker is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any direct damages is capped at the amount you paid us in the preceding twelve months — which, during the free beta, is zero.
9. Termination
You can stop using the Service at any time. We can suspend or terminate access at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms or sustained abuse of the Service. Sections 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 survive termination.
10. Changes
Material changes to these Terms will be reflected by an updated “last updated” date and, where the change is significant, a notice on the homepage for at least 14 days. Your continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the operator's jurisdiction. Disputes that cannot be resolved by good-faith email exchange will be heard in the competent courts of that jurisdiction. The current operator's jurisdiction is published in the contact response footer of any email reply.
