Terms of Service
Last updated: 24 July 2026
These terms govern your use of zhbulbul.com and any SEO content writing or SEO services you engage me to provide. Please read them before using the site or commissioning work. If you do not agree with them, please do not use this website or engage my services.
In plain English
I write and optimize content, and I do technical and on-page SEO work. I cannot and do not guarantee rankings, traffic, or revenue, because search engines are third parties I do not control. You own the content I produce for you once you have paid for it. My blog may contain affiliate links and advertising, which are always disclosed. My liability is limited to the fees you have actually paid me. The full detail is below.
1. Who operates this website
zhbulbul.com is owned and operated by Md. Zahidul Hassan Bulbul, an independent SEO content writer and SEO specialist trading as ZHBULBUL, based in Pabna 6600, Bangladesh. Throughout these terms, “I”, “me” and “my” refer to Md. Zahidul Hassan Bulbul; “you” refers to any visitor to this website or any client engaging my services. This is a sole practice, not an incorporated company or agency.
2. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing this website, submitting an enquiry, booking a consultation, or engaging me for paid work, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to do so.
3. Services I provide
I offer two services:
- SEO content writing — topical maps, search-intent analysis, content briefs, and written content such as articles, guides, service pages, and landing pages, together with on-page optimization and internal linking.
- SEO — technical and on-page audits, on-page optimization, internal-link architecture, structured data, and performance reporting.
I do not currently offer paid advertising management, social media advertising, web development, graphic design, or link buying as standalone services. If a proposal I send you describes something different from the summaries above, the proposal takes precedence.
4. Proposals, scope and quotations
Each engagement is defined by a written proposal, statement of work, or email confirmation that sets out the deliverables, the timeline, and the fee. That document forms part of our agreement and takes precedence over general descriptions on this website. Anything not expressly listed in it is outside scope. Additional work can be added by written agreement and may change the fee and timeline.
5. Your responsibilities
To deliver good work I rely on you to:
- provide accurate, lawful information about your business, products, and market;
- supply any access I reasonably need, such as WordPress, Google Search Console, or Google Analytics, and to revoke it when the engagement ends;
- respond to briefs, drafts, and questions within a reasonable time;
- hold the necessary rights to any material you give me to use; and
- review deliverables before publication, since you remain responsible for what is published on your own website.
Delays in providing information, access, or approvals will extend delivery timelines accordingly.
6. Fees, invoicing and payment
Fees, payment schedule, currency, and payment method are set out in your proposal or invoice. Unless your proposal states otherwise, invoices are payable by the due date shown on the invoice. Any bank charges, currency conversion costs, or payment-processor fees are your responsibility. I may pause work on an engagement while an invoice is overdue. Any taxes or duties applicable in your own jurisdiction are your responsibility.
7. Revisions and approval
Each deliverable includes the number of revision rounds stated in your proposal. Revisions mean refinements within the agreed brief. A change of direction after a brief has been approved — a different topic, audience, or format — is new work and will be quoted separately. If you do not respond to a delivered draft within the period stated in your proposal, I may treat it as approved for the purposes of scheduling.
8. Timelines and delivery
Timelines given in a proposal are good-faith estimates based on the agreed scope and on receiving what I need from you on time. They are not fixed deadlines and are not guarantees, unless a specific date is expressly agreed in writing. I will tell you promptly if a timeline is at risk.
9. Ownership of the work I produce for you
Once you have paid the relevant invoice in full, you own the final deliverables produced specifically for you — the written content, briefs, and topical maps — and you may use, edit, and publish them without restriction. I retain ownership of my underlying methods, templates, processes, and know-how, which are not exclusive to any client. Until payment is made in full, ownership of deliverables remains with me.
10. My intellectual property
The content of this website, including its text, layout, graphics, and logo, belongs to me and is protected by copyright. You may read, share, and link to it. You may not republish, resell, or reproduce substantial parts of it as your own work without my written permission. Quoting a short passage with clear attribution and a link back is fine.
11. Use of artificial intelligence
I use AI tools to accelerate research and produce first drafts. Every published word is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by me before delivery. I do not deliver unreviewed machine output. If you have a policy restricting AI involvement in your content, tell me before the engagement begins so we can agree how to proceed.
12. No guarantee of rankings or results
This is the most important clause on this page, so I have written it plainly. I do not guarantee any specific search ranking, position, traffic volume, keyword placement, conversion rate, revenue, or business outcome. Search engines are independent third parties. Their algorithms, guidelines, and results change frequently, without notice, and entirely outside my control. Results also depend on factors I do not control, including your competitors, your site’s history and authority, your budget, your market, and decisions you make about your own website.
What I do commit to is a transparent process, work performed to a professional standard, and honest reporting of what the data actually shows. Any figures, case examples, or past outcomes mentioned on this website describe specific past work and are not a promise or prediction of similar results for you. Nothing on this website should be read as a guarantee.
13. Search engine guidelines
I work within the published guidelines of the major search engines. I do not buy links, use private blog networks, or use tactics designed to manipulate search results. If you ask me to do so, I will decline. I am not responsible for the effect of work carried out on your site by others, before or during our engagement, or for penalties or ranking losses arising from it.
14. Third-party tools and platforms
My work may involve third-party tools and platforms such as Semrush, Ahrefs, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and WordPress. Those services are governed by their own terms and pricing, they may change or become unavailable, and I am not responsible for their performance, availability, accuracy, or costs.
15. Confidentiality
I treat non-public information you share with me — strategy, commercial data, credentials, and unpublished content — as confidential, and I will not disclose it to third parties except where required by law. I may describe the general nature of work performed in anonymised terms, for example by niche or industry, unless you ask me in writing not to. I will not name you as a client, publish your logo, or quote you without your permission.
16. Cancellation, pause and termination
Either of us may end an ongoing engagement by giving written notice as set out in your proposal, or where no notice period is stated, fourteen days’ written notice. On termination you remain liable for all work completed or in progress up to the effective date, and I will hand over deliverables paid for. I may suspend or end an engagement immediately if payment is significantly overdue, if I am asked to do something unlawful or against search engine guidelines, or if communication becomes abusive.
17. Refunds
Fees for work already performed or in progress are non-refundable, because the work has been done. Where you have paid in advance for work not yet started, I will refund the unstarted portion on request. Consultations offered free of charge carry no fee and therefore no refund. If you are unhappy with a deliverable, tell me — the revision process in your proposal exists to put it right.
18. Free consultations
The free consultation is exactly that: a conversation, with no fee and no obligation on either side. Anything shared during it — including any outline, review, or observation about your website — is provided for discussion purposes, is based on limited information, and does not constitute a paid audit, a commitment to results, or professional advice you should rely on without further work.
19. Blog content, affiliate links and advertising
The blog on this website is published for information. It is written from my own experience and reflects my genuine opinion at the time of writing. It is general information, not tailored advice for your specific situation, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for professional advice about your own business.
Affiliate links. Some posts may contain affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. I only include affiliate links for tools I have genuinely used in client work. A commission never changes my opinion, my rating, or whether a tool is recommended, and I will say plainly when I do not recommend something. Affiliate links are marked with the sponsored link attribute, and posts containing them carry a visible disclosure.
Advertising. The blog may display advertising served by third-party networks, including Google AdSense. Those networks and their partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve advertising based on your prior visits to this and other websites. I do not control which specific adverts are shown, and displaying an advert is not an endorsement of the advertiser. You can review how advertising cookies are used, and opt out where available, through the relevant network’s own settings and through my Privacy Policy. My service pages and homepage are kept free of display advertising.
20. External links
This website links to third-party websites and resources. Those links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. I do not control third-party sites and am not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, products, or privacy practices. Visiting them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
21. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, my total liability arising out of or in connection with any engagement is limited to the total fees you have actually paid me for the specific service giving rise to the claim. I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, data, or ranking positions. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
This website and its content are provided on an “as is” basis. I do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
22. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify me against claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from material you supply to me, from your publication or use of deliverables after delivery, or from your breach of these terms.
23. Privacy and data
How I collect and handle personal data is set out in my Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Where I am given access to your systems or analytics, I use that access solely to perform the agreed work.
24. Availability of the website
I aim to keep this website available, but I do not guarantee uninterrupted access. I may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of it, including the blog, at any time and without notice.
25. Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time, for example when my services or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted here with an updated date at the top. Changes apply from the date they are posted. For engagements already underway, the terms in force when the engagement began continue to apply unless we agree otherwise in writing.
26. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, and the courts of Bangladesh have jurisdiction over any dispute, unless your proposal expressly states otherwise. Before starting formal proceedings, we both agree to attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith by direct discussion.
27. Severability and entire agreement
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. These terms, together with your proposal and my Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between us and replace any earlier discussions or representations.
