These Terms of Service (the "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between ClarusNode Intelligence ("ClarusNode," "we," "us," or "our") and the entity or individual accessing or using our platform and services ("Customer," "you," or "your"). ClarusNode Intelligence operates through its website located at clarusnode.com (the "Site") and provides software-as-a-service ("SaaS") solutions including, but not limited to, competitor intent data intelligence and programmatic SEO ("pSEO") content generation services.
By subscribing to, accessing, or using ClarusNode Intelligence's services, you represent and warrant that you have the full legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the business entity you represent, and that such entity will be bound by these Terms. If you are accessing the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, references to "you" or "Customer" throughout these Terms refer to that entity.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Services. They govern your relationship with ClarusNode Intelligence and supersede any prior agreements or understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter herein.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials, including your username and password. You agree to notify ClarusNode Intelligence immediately at zayne@clarusnode.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your Account. ClarusNode Intelligence will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your Account credentials.
Each Account may be used only by the Customer and its designated Authorized Users. Sharing Account credentials with individuals outside your organization, or using a single Account to serve multiple unaffiliated entities, is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
4.1 Competitor Intent Data Services. ClarusNode provides businesses with actionable intelligence derived from the analysis of competitor digital footprints, including keyword targeting patterns, search intent signals, content gap analyses, SERP positioning data, and related competitive intelligence. This data is aggregated and processed to surface strategic insights to help Customers make informed marketing, SEO, and content decisions. All Competitor Intent Data provided is based on publicly available signals, aggregated datasets, and proprietary analytical models. ClarusNode does not guarantee the real-time accuracy, completeness, or current applicability of any specific data point.
4.2 Programmatic SEO (pSEO) Generation Services. ClarusNode offers a suite of tools enabling Customers to generate search-engine-optimized content pages at scale using automated templates, data-driven content structures, and keyword-informed generation methodologies. Customers are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, publishing, and maintaining any Output Content generated through the pSEO services. ClarusNode makes no representations or warranties that Output Content will achieve specific search engine rankings, traffic volumes, or business outcomes.
ClarusNode reserves the right to modify, enhance, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, with reasonable advance notice where practicable. Feature updates and enhancements introduced during an active Subscription Term will generally be made available to Customers at no additional charge, unless they constitute a separate product offering.
4.3 Public Data Aggregation & Privacy. ClarusNode Intelligence utilizes automated methods to aggregate and analyze strictly publicly available data (e.g., public forum discussions, software reviews on Reddit, HackerNews, YouTube). We do not scrape, store, or sell Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or proprietary marketing lists. ClarusNode does not claim ownership of third-party content and processes this data strictly as an anonymized B2B intelligence tool. Customers are solely responsible for ensuring their use of Output Content complies with all applicable privacy laws.
5.1 Subscription Plans. Access to the Services is provided on a subscription basis. Subscription plans, pricing tiers, billing frequencies, and included feature sets are as detailed on the ClarusNode Intelligence website at clarusnode.com and may be updated from time to time. By selecting and purchasing a Subscription, you agree to the pricing and terms associated with that plan at the time of purchase.
5.2 Merchant of Record. Our order process is conducted by our designated online reseller(s) and Merchant(s) of Record (e.g., Gumroad, Paddle, or similar authorized payment gateways). The respective Merchant of Record for your transaction provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns regarding billing, invoicing, and payment processing.
5.3 Billing and Automatic Renewal. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis corresponding to the Subscription Term selected. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF EACH TERM UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT PRIOR TO THE RENEWAL DATE. YOU EXPLICITLY AUTHORIZE OUR DESIGNATED MERCHANT OF RECORD TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD ON FILE ON A RECURRING BASIS.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Customer Portal or by emailing zayne@clarusnode.com. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current paid term.
5.4 Payment Obligations. You agree to provide valid, up-to-date payment information and to promptly update such information in the event of changes. All fees are due and payable in advance. In the event of a failed payment, ClarusNode Intelligence reserves the right to suspend access to the Services until outstanding amounts are settled. Accounts with overdue balances for more than fourteen (14) days may be terminated at ClarusNode Intelligence's discretion.
5.5 Taxes. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, or duties imposed by any governmental authority, including any applicable value-added tax ("VAT"), goods and services tax ("GST"), or sales tax. You are solely responsible for the payment of all such taxes arising from your Subscription, except for taxes based on ClarusNode Intelligence's net income.
5.6 Price Changes. ClarusNode Intelligence reserves the right to modify Subscription pricing at any time. For existing Customers, price changes will take effect at the start of the next Subscription Term following at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice. Continued use of the Services after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.
14-Day Refund Window. In compliance with the consumer protection policies of our Merchant of Record (Paddle), we offer a 14-day refund window for all initial purchases and subscription payments. If you are not satisfied with the Services, you may request a full refund within fourteen (14) days of your initial transaction date.
To request a refund, please contact us at zayne@clarusnode.com or directly via your Paddle buyer receipt. Upon processing a refund, your access to the Services, including any generated pSEO pages or downloaded data reports, will be immediately revoked and must be deleted from your systems.
Exceptions: After the initial 14-day period has passed, all subscription fees and one-time payments become strictly non-refundable. Cancellation of a Subscription after this period will prevent future billing charges but will not entitle Customer to a pro-rated refund for any unused portion of the current term.
Customers may cancel their Subscription at any time by accessing the account management settings within the platform or by sending a written cancellation request to zayne@clarusnode.com. Cancellations must be submitted before the next billing cycle renewal date to avoid being charged for the subsequent Subscription Term. ClarusNode Intelligence is not responsible for cancellation requests that are submitted after the renewal date has passed.
Upon cancellation and the expiry of the current Subscription Term, Customer's access to the Services and all associated data stored within the platform will be deactivated. Customers are strongly encouraged to export any Customer Data and Output Content prior to the end of their Subscription Term. ClarusNode Intelligence is not obligated to retain or restore Customer Data following the termination or expiration of a Subscription.
You agree to use the Services only for lawful, legitimate business purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You shall not, and shall not permit any Authorized User or third party to:
• Use the Services to engage in any activity that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations, including but not limited to privacy laws, intellectual property laws, anti-spam laws, and data protection regulations.

Each party agrees to hold the other party's Confidential Information in strict confidence using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no case less than reasonable care. Neither party shall disclose the other party's Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent, except to employees, contractors, or advisors who have a need to know such information and are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those set forth herein.

To the extent the Services involve the processing of personal data subject to the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), or other applicable data protection laws, the parties agree to comply with their respective obligations under such laws. Where required by applicable law, the parties shall enter into a separate Data Processing Agreement ("DPA"). Customers may request a DPA by contacting zayne@clarusnode.com.
ClarusNode Intelligence implements commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect the Services and Customer Data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration. However, no security system is impenetrable, and ClarusNode Intelligence cannot guarantee the absolute security of Customer Data.
