5.4.1 Guarantee voidance
The usual time for the search engine to index your website from the time of submission is 12-16 weeks.
In the event that the minimum guarantee has not been met or none of the optimized pages have been indexed within this time period, eBusinessWeb.net will continue to optimize client's website for twice the number of keywords free of charge for the next 5 months.
Search engine's indexing time is completely out of eBusinessWeb.net's control. Search engines algorithms are constantly changing. However, with ethical optimization methods, eBusinessWeb.net is positive that your website will achieve relevant search engine rankings in the major 20 search engines aforementioned.
5.4.1.1 eBusinessWeb.net guarantees top 20 positioning among the four (4) major Search Engines aforementioned within 12-16 weeks. Search engines included are Google, Yahoo, AOL Search, MSN Search.
The minimum number of listings guaranteed is the same as packaged availed. For applicable search engine optimization packages, this guarantee is valid only for keyword phrases approved by the client and analyzed SEO specialists.
5.4.1.2 eBusinessWeb.net does not guarantee improvement in client's sales or relevant website traffic. Such will still depend on the demand for client's product or service, design and layout of the site, and many other factors beyond the control of eBusinessWeb.net. Guarantee provided in this Agreement is based on the SEO provider's efforts to deliver top search engine rankings and on the cooperation of the client.
5.4.1.3 Optimization services are provided on a best-efforts basis due to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the World Wide Web.

5.4.1.4 Any website downtime of one day or more voids the guarantee because search engines will remove client's listing if site cannot be visited.
5.4.1.5 Duplicating the optimized pages after they have been uploaded will void the guarantee. Search engines ban and penalize websites for such practice.
5.4.1.6 Transferring of the optimized pages to another domain will void the guaranteed because optimization work was made for the original domain.
5.4.1.7 Client's selection of keyword phrases that are too competitive may void the guarantee.
5.4.1.8 Redirecting the optimized domain to another one will void the guarantee because search engines regard using 301 redirect as spam.
5.4.1.9 Client shall not remove the link to sitemap, sitemap, and optimized pages. Doing so will also void the guarantee because if these pages are not viewable, website pages will not be crawled by the search engine spiders.
Should the client accidentally remove the link to sitemap, sitemap, and optimized pages, eBusinessWeb.net will add the link to sitemap, and/or reupload the sitemap and optimized pages, provided FTP is still accessible. If given FTP is no longer accessible, eBusinessWeb.net will inform the client via e-mail of such incident.
