Terms

These Terms govern the business use of SEODrafts by the workspace operator and its authorized users (together, the “Customer”). The service is offered by Wotaso GmbH, Bostonring 5, 71686 Remseck am Neckar, Germany (“Wotaso”, “we”, “us”) as a software tool for SEO operations, research, AI-assisted draft generation, editorial workflows, publishing coordination, analytics, indexing workflows, backlink research, and comparison-page planning. The service is intended for entrepreneurs and business users acting in the course of their trade or profession, not for consumers.

Authorized Domain Analysis

The Customer may submit a domain for website-context analysis only when it owns, operates, or is otherwise authorized to analyze that domain. The Customer must not use the feature to collect personal profiles, contact data, restricted content, credentials, or content behind access controls. The Customer remains responsible for applicable privacy law, website terms, copyright, database rights, and crawler directives. A public URL alone does not establish that every reuse is lawful.

The Service Is A Tool, Not A Publisher

Generated text, images, metadata, structured data, citations, recommendations, scores, opportunities, briefs, and other output are automated suggestions and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, biased, non-unique, or legally unusable. Quality gates, source links, scores, warnings, and review features are technical assistance only. They are not verification, approval, moderation, legal clearance, or a warranty by Wotaso.

The Customer remains the website operator, content provider, controller of the connected domain and publishing systems, and final editorial decision-maker. Wotaso does not assume an editorial mandate, fiduciary duty, publisher role, agency, or duty to monitor Customer content. The Customer decides whether, where, when, and how any output is used or published.

Approval Means Customer Acceptance

An approval, scheduling instruction, publication command, API call, or equivalent action by an authorized Customer user is the Customer's final editorial release. By approving content, the Customer confirms that it has reviewed the complete publication-ready version and independently determined that the content and its use are accurate, current, substantiated, lawful, non-misleading, useful to the intended audience, and suitable for the Customer's jurisdiction, industry, products, website, and risk profile.

The Customer is solely responsible for reviewing, editing, approving, publishing, updating, correcting, removing, and monitoring all content and actions created, imported, suggested, queued, or published through the service. This includes titles, metadata, articles, FAQ items, schema markup, citations, images, comparison pages, competitor references, link activities, indexing submissions, analytics events, and website changes. Approval does not transfer this responsibility to Wotaso, even if the service subsequently schedules or technically transmits the approved content automatically.

Search Engine And Platform Risk

Search engines and other platforms independently control crawling, indexing, ranking, visibility, citations, account access, and enforcement. Their systems, policies, and algorithms can change without notice. AI-assisted or automated content, particularly content produced at scale without added user value, may be treated as spam or otherwise lead to ranking losses, reduced visibility, deindexing, manual actions, account or property restrictions, suspension, or other enforcement by Google, Bing, AI answer engines, hosting providers, social networks, marketplaces, or other third parties.

The Customer assumes these platform and publication risks and must ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable webmaster guidelines, spam policies, advertising rules, acceptable-use policies, and technical requirements, including Google's Search spam policies and guidance on generative AI content. Wotaso does not control or guarantee how any third party classifies or treats Customer content.

Customer Review And Compliance Duties

Before approval or publication, the Customer must verify all facts, claims, calculations, dates, sources, quotations, citations, licenses, authorship statements, disclosures, consent records, testimonials, product details, prices, availability, and legal requirements. The Customer must add meaningful human judgment and original value and must not publish false, deceptive, defamatory, discriminatory, infringing, unlawful, plagiarized, spammy, manipulative, or unsafe content.

For legal, medical, financial, tax, regulated, safety-critical, employment, comparative, trademark-sensitive, or other high-risk content, the Customer must obtain review by appropriately qualified professionals before publication. The Customer must also maintain any required imprint, privacy notice, disclosures, accessibility, consent management, and industry-specific notices on its own website.

Rights, Comparisons, And Third-Party Material

The Customer must have all rights, permissions, licenses, and lawful bases required for its prompts, source material, customer data, trademarks, images, screenshots, quotations, and published output. The Customer grants Wotaso the limited rights necessary to process Customer-provided material for operating the service.

Before publishing comparisons or alternative pages, the Customer must verify competitor names, official URLs, pricing, features, limitations, screenshots, reviews, migration claims, and citations. The Customer must not imply affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, certification, or partnership without permission and proof and must not use protected logos, assets, or brand material without a lawful basis.

Prohibited Use

The Customer must not use the service for scaled content abuse, doorway pages, cloaking, hidden text, scraped or near-duplicate content, fake authority or authorship, impersonation, malware, unlawful surveillance, automated cold outreach, paid or deceptive links, private blog networks, undisclosed sponsored placements, spam submissions, manipulation of rankings or AI responses, or infringement of third-party rights. Wotaso may block, suspend, or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect the service, third parties, or comply with law or platform requirements.

Third-Party Services And Integrations

Google Search Console, Bing, AI model providers, analytics providers, repositories, content management systems, hosting providers, billing providers, and other integrations are independent third-party services. Their terms, availability, data processing, output, limits, and decisions are outside Wotaso's control. Wotaso is not responsible for third-party downtime, changes, data loss, rejection, enforcement, security incidents, or acts and omissions, except to the extent Wotaso is legally responsible for its own selection or integration of a third party.

The Customer is responsible for securely configuring and lawfully using access tokens, API keys, repositories, analytics, Search Console properties, sitemap routes, domains, and publishing endpoints. The Customer must not upload secrets, credentials, confidential information, personal data, or other material it is not authorized to process.

No Professional Advice Or Guarantee Of Results

The service does not provide legal, tax, financial, medical, compliance, or other professional advice. Wotaso does not guarantee correctness, originality, non-infringement, continuous availability, successful publication, legal or platform compliance, rankings, indexing, citations, traffic, revenue, conversions, app installs, backlinks, or approval by any search engine, platform, marketplace, authority, or other third party. Forecasts, scores, search volumes, recommendations, and analytics are estimates and may be delayed or incorrect.

Availability, Backups, And Customer Systems

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the service is provided without a specific availability or response-time commitment. Maintenance, security measures, provider failures, and technical events may interrupt or change the service. The Customer must keep independent backups and version control for its source material, approved content, website, repository, CMS, credentials, and published pages and must test integrations before production use. Wotaso is not the Customer's system of record or disaster-recovery service.

Liability

Wotaso has unlimited liability for intent and gross negligence; for culpable injury to life, body, or health; under mandatory product-liability law; and to the extent Wotaso has expressly assumed a guarantee. These exclusions from the limitation also apply to Wotaso's legal representatives and agents.

For slight negligence, Wotaso is liable only for breach of a material contractual duty whose performance is essential to the contract and on whose performance the Customer may ordinarily rely. In that case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. In all other cases, liability for slight negligence is excluded. Where legally permissible, liability for indirect or consequential damage, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of savings, reputational damage, business interruption, loss of data, and wasted expenditure is excluded unless such damage is the foreseeable, contract-typical result of a breach for which Wotaso is liable under this section.

Subject to the mandatory exceptions above, Wotaso is not liable for consequences arising from Customer content, Customer approval or publication decisions, inadequate editorial review, unlawful or policy-violating use, inaccurate Customer data, Customer configuration, unauthorized access caused by Customer credentials, changes to Customer systems, or third-party decisions. This includes ranking loss, reduced visibility, deindexing, manual actions, domain or account restrictions, takedowns, third-party claims, and lost revenue where those consequences were not caused by a breach for which Wotaso is liable under this section.

Customer Indemnity

To the extent caused by the Customer's culpable breach of these Terms, unlawful content, publication decision, infringement of third-party rights, or misuse of the service, the Customer will indemnify Wotaso against justified third-party claims and the reasonable costs of defense. Wotaso will promptly inform the Customer of a claim, permit the Customer to participate in the defense, and will not accept a settlement imposing non-monetary obligations on the Customer without the Customer's consent. Mandatory statutory rights and defenses remain unaffected.

Term, Suspension, And Removal

Subscription term, fees, renewal, and cancellation are determined by the selected plan and checkout terms. Recurring subscriptions renew for the same billing period until canceled. Customers can cancel future renewal through the billing portal or by contacting Wotaso. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless mandatory law or the checkout terms require otherwise. Prices displayed by Wotaso exclude or include taxes as stated on the pricing page; Paddle calculates and shows the binding tax-inclusive total before payment. Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy. Each party may terminate for cause as provided by law. Wotaso may immediately restrict generation, approval, publishing, integrations, or account access if reasonably necessary to address suspected abuse, security risks, non-payment, legal requirements, or third-party rights. The Customer remains responsible for removing or correcting content already published on Customer-controlled systems.

Governing Law And Venue

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the Customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the courts at Wotaso's registered place of business have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law requires otherwise. Individual agreements take precedence. If any provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain effective and the statutory rules apply in place of the invalid provision.

Changes And Contact

Wotaso may update these Terms for future use or, for existing contracts, where reasonably necessary because of changes to law, security, third-party services, or service functionality and where the change does not unreasonably disadvantage the Customer. Material changes will be communicated through the service or by email before they take effect where required. Company details are available in the Imprint. Questions may be sent to contact@wotaso.com.
