Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Nova Media Group LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a Florida limited liability company with its principal place of business in Tampa, Florida, operating the Audited.io platform ("Platform," "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Audited.io is a web-based SEO and AI visibility audit platform. The Service allows users to submit website domain URLs for analysis. We perform:

• Traditional SEO audits — crawling publicly available pages to evaluate meta tags, heading structure, structured data, robots.txt, sitemaps, and other standard SEO signals.
• AI accessibility checks — testing whether AI crawlers (e.g., GPTBot, ClaudeBot) can access the submitted domain and evaluating AI-specific files like ai.txt and llms.txt.
• LLM knowledge assessments — querying large language models to evaluate how well AI systems recognize and understand the submitted domain.
• AI-powered content analysis — using AI models and web search tools to assess content quality, citability, structured data quality, and topical authority.

The Service generates scores, detailed findings, and recommendations based on this analysis. Results are provided on an "as-is" basis and should be treated as informational guidance, not guarantees of search engine or AI model behavior.

3. Account Registration

To use certain features of the Platform, you must create an account by providing a valid email address. You agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete registration information
• Maintain the security of your account credentials
• Promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your account
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to create an account. If you are creating an account on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

4. Organizations

The Platform supports organization accounts in both company and agency modes. Organization administrators are responsible for managing members, domains, and billing for their organization. By inviting members to an organization, you represent that you have authorization to do so.

5. Subscription Plans & Billing
