You will not upload, post, or transmit any Content that: (a) infringes any third‑party right; (b) is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable; (c) violates any search‑engine guidelines; or (d) contains viruses or other harmful code.

7. Backlink Exchange Terms
7.1 Third‑Party Sites.
Listings may reference websites operated by third parties. We do not control or endorse, and are not responsible for, any third‑party sites or their content.
7.2 Automated Placement & Your Responsibility.
When you activate or purchase any backlink package, our system automatically creates and publishes the agreed‑upon links—no manual preview or approval step is provided. Before enabling a package, make sure those links align with your own policies, brand, and risk tolerance. Because every website, search engine, and campaign is different, we cannot guarantee (a) the safety, reputation, or compliance of any third‑party site; (b) that a backlink will improve your rankings or traffic; or (c) that search‑engine algorithms or policies will remain unchanged.
7.3 Search‑Engine Guidelines.
Search engines set and update their own rules. They may reduce visibility or penalize sites they believe use links in ways that violate those rules. By choosing to use the Backlink Exchange you accept that risk and agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any related penalties, losses, or liabilities.
7.4 Commitment to Best Practices.
We actively monitor search‑industry trends and guidelines, and we routinely refine our automated placement systems, link sources, and quality‑control checks to align with widely accepted best practices. While these efforts are intended to reduce the likelihood of negative outcomes, no solution can eliminate all risk. Accordingly, the disclaimers and limitations of liability in Sections 10 and 11 continue to apply.
