SEO Satisfaction Guarantee –
Twining Original Design (TOD) does guarantee that our clients will be happy with our SEO results. TOD will guarantee that if they implement our SEO recommendations, search traffic will rise, and we do guarantee that our work won’t put them at risk of penalties from the search engines. This guarantee assumes that the term of service has completed, and that all SEO services have been delivered by Twining Original Design to the client and that the client has either been penalized by Google, Bing, or Yahoo search engines such as to cause a loss in ranking, or that a gain in ranking was not realized after the term of service was completed in relation to the targeted ranking immediately before the term of service occurred. A gain in ranking is determined to be valid for any one search engine consisting of Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Gain in ranking need not be present in all search engines. Any claim that search engine traffic did not rise (no gain) or that a penalty was imposed by a search engine was suffered by the client must be documented in writing and submitted to Twining Original Design within 30 days of the end of the term of service, but not before the end of the term of service.

No other cases exist that are eligible for a refund for SEO services.
