Terms of service
Last updated: July 13, 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you or the organization you represent (“you”) and Dokeo (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it.
1. Definitions
- Service - the Dokeo content quality gate: the web app, API, MCP server, and CLI.
- Content - text, URLs, or other material you submit for scoring, generation, or review.
- Order Form - a written or online order for a paid plan, including any enterprise agreement.
2. The Service
Dokeo scores content against SEO, AEO, and GEO checks and returns a verdict, per-check scores, and issues. It also offers content generation, an AI-visibility monitor (Watch), and a human review queue that can gate publishing. The Service is provided on an ongoing, evolving basis; features may be added, changed, or removed.
3. Accounts and eligibility
You must provide accurate account information, keep your credentials secure, and are responsible for activity under your account and API keys. You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Service.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Submit content you don't have the right to submit.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract our scoring rules or models for resale.
- Resell Dokeo scans in a way that competes with our paid plans.
- Use the Service to process unlawful content, or to attempt to breach its security or rate limits.
5. Your Content and intellectual property
You retain all rights to your Content. By submitting it, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process it solely to provide the Service (scoring, generation, review, and delivery of results to you). We do not train any model on your Content. AI rewrites, when you opt into them, are processed by our subprocessor Zhipu AI (GLM 5.2, via the z.ai API) and are not used to train their models under the z.ai API terms.
6. Our intellectual property
The Service, including its check rules, software, and brand, is our property. These Terms grant you a limited right to use the Service, not to own any part of it.
7. Subscriptions, credits, and billing
Paid plans are billed in advance (monthly or annually). Unused credits roll over up to 2x your monthly allocation; beyond that they expire at the end of the period. You can cancel anytime; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. Custom terms in an Order Form override these defaults. Payments are processed by Stripe and Razorpay; we never store your card or UPI details.
8. Service availability
We work to keep the Service highly available, but the current standard plans are offered without a contractual uptime commitment (no SLA). We may perform maintenance and may change or discontinue features. A written service-level agreement is available to enterprise customers under an Order Form. Scores are reproducible for the same content, content type, and strictness; we do not warrant that a score will match any third-party tool.
9. Confidentiality
Each party may receive non-public information from the other. The receiving party will use it only to perform under these Terms and protect it with reasonable care. Your Content and results are treated as your confidential information.
10. Data protection and privacy
Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which includes our subprocessors and your rights. Where we process personal data on your behalf, a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is available to enterprise customers on request at legal@dokeo.co.
11. Warranties and disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Dokeo is a quality tool, not legal, SEO, or editorial advice; you are responsible for what you publish.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data.
13. Indemnification
You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your Content or your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, except to the extent caused by us.
14. Term and termination
These Terms apply while you use the Service. We may suspend or terminate your account for a material breach not cured within 14 days of notice, or immediately for unlawful use. You can terminate anytime by cancelling and asking us to close your account. Sections that by their nature should survive (IP, confidentiality, liability, indemnification) survive termination.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms; we will post the new version with an updated date and, for material changes, give reasonable notice. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.
16. Enterprise and custom terms
Enterprise customers may sign a Master Services Agreement, DPA, and SLA that supersede these Terms for the parts they cover. Contact legal@dokeo.co to request them.
17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and each party consents to that jurisdiction.
