linkpreneur Who you contract with
These terms are an agreement between you and R.B. Projecten B.V., trading as Linkpreneur, Slenterweg 3, 6905 DM Zevenaar, The Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce 59974907, VAT NL853716833B01. You accept them when you create an account; the version you accepted and the moment you accepted it are recorded on your account.
The service
Linkpreneur sources and places editorial link placements (niche edits) on third-party websites, with open-book pricing: you see the publisher invoice and pay the publisher price at cost plus a fixed placement fee per link. You choose one of two plans: pay per link, with no monthly fee, where we source for the links you order; or a membership with a monthly fee per site, where we source every month and the placement fee is lower. The current fees are on our pricing page, and the fee of a placement is fixed when you approve it. The membership and the placement fee pay for the sourcing and vetting work; neither is a guarantee that a placement will be available.
Wallet and payments
Placements are paid from your prepaid credit wallet or, on pay per link if you choose it, by card: we charge the card when you approve a placement, for the estimate plus the placement fee, and refund it to the card if the placement fails. Approving a recommendation reserves the estimate; settlement happens against the real publisher invoice and any difference returns to your wallet. Unused credits are refundable on request. The membership is paid by card: when you take it you pay for the rest of the current month, and the same card is charged on the 1st of every month after, with an invoice for each payment. If you cancel the membership, it runs until the end of the month you paid for and you pay per link after that. Your card is kept by our payment provider Stripe, never by us. If a charge does not go through, you receive the invoice with a link to pay it.
No ranking guarantees
Search engines decide rankings, not us. We guarantee the agreed placement and our monitoring and replacement policy; we never guarantee positions, traffic or revenue. Placements that violate a search engine policy are placed at your direction and risk after your explicit approval per placement.
Replacement policy
When a placed link disappears or materially degrades during its replacement cover, we first pursue recovery with the publisher and otherwise provide a replacement placement of comparable quality at no extra placement fee. On pay per link, the replacement cover of a link runs for twelve months from the day it went live. While your membership is active, the cover of each of your links runs for as long as the membership stays active, and in any case for twelve months from the day the link went live. A membership is active while it is paid and your account is not on hold; after you cancel, it stays active until the end of the month you paid for. When your membership ends, each link keeps its cover until twelve months from the day it went live, if that is later. The same applies to an agency's client, for as long as the client is active on the agency's plan. Whether a lost link is covered is decided on the day it is lost.
First-month refund
If we can't find a placement you approve in your first 30 days, we refund your first month's membership. The 30 days start on the day of your first membership payment. A placement counts as approved once you, or autopilot within the limits you set, approve a recommendation and its price, also when the publisher declines it afterwards. This applies once per client. On request we refund the membership payments made in those 30 days, up to the price of one month, to the card they came from. It does not cover publisher prices or placement fees, which are only charged for placements you approve, or credit in your wallet, which stays refundable on request.
Welcome offer
New client and agency accounts pay no placement fee on their first three placements. A placement that fails does not use one up. The offer applies once per client or agency account. For an agency, it covers the first three placements across all of its clients. Membership fees, publisher prices and wallet top-ups are unchanged. Waived fees have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for credit. If we end or change this offer, accounts created before that keep what they signed up with.
Promotions
From time to time we run a time-limited promotion for new accounts; we publish its conditions here when it starts, and after it ends they stay in these terms under Past promotions.
Referrals
If a new client or agency account signs up with your referral code, we waive the placement fee on one of your placements once that account makes its first payment: a membership payment, a wallet top-up or the card charge for a link; for an agency, a top-up of its master wallet or its first monthly invoice. You earn one waived fee per new account you refer, and an account cannot refer itself. For an agency, the waived fee covers a placement for any of its clients. A placement that fails does not use it up. The account you refer receives the welcome offer, like every new account, and nothing more. Waived fees have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for credit.
Acceptable use
You warrant that your website and anchor texts are lawful and that you hold the rights to the content you supply. We refuse niches and anchors that violate law or our quality standards.
Agencies and white-label workspaces
If you are an agency and give your own clients access to a workspace under your brand, on your own domain or on ours, you are the controller of your clients' personal data in that workspace and we process it on your behalf, as your processor. That includes measuring how the workspace is used and recording sessions with Rybbit, to find where it gets in the way, under the rules in our privacy policy: what your clients type, and every figure from their Search Console or Analytics, stays out of the measurements and the recordings, and in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland a client is only recorded after accepting. You tell your clients about this, for example in your own privacy notice.
Liability
Our aggregate liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the three months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect damage, including ranking or traffic changes.
Termination
You can cancel a membership monthly: it runs until the end of the month you paid for, after which you pay per link, your links stay monitored and each keeps its replacement cover as set out under Replacement policy. Your wallet balance remains refundable on request.
Governing law and disputes
Dutch law applies to this agreement, with the exception of its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go first to us: write to the address on this website and we answer within ten working days. A dispute we cannot settle together is brought before the competent court in Gelderland, the Netherlands, unless mandatory law gives you another forum.
