Terms of service

Last updated 2026-08-23

These terms apply to the AI answer audit, monitoring and agency services ("Services") sold under the Cited name by Gabriel Homoky ("I", "me"), Hungary, to business customers.

1. Ordering

An order is confirmed when you accept a written quote (email is fine) and pay the deposit. The quote states the scope: number of questions, assistants, competitors, markets, price and delivery date. Anything not in the quote is out of scope.

2. Payment

Audits: 50% of the price before work starts, 50% on delivery. Monitoring and agency plans: monthly in advance, cancellable for any following month. Card or bank transfer in USD, EUR or GBP. Prices exclude VAT; for business customers outside Hungary no Hungarian VAT is charged under the reverse-charge or out-of-scope rules. An invoice is issued for every payment.

3. What the Service is, and is not

The Service records answers given by third-party AI assistants (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude) to questions I ask on the dates stated in the report, and analyzes those answers. Assistant answers vary by session, location, account and model version. The report is a dated snapshot and an expert opinion on what to change. I do not guarantee that your brand will appear, rank or be recommended in any AI assistant, search engine or other system, and I have no relationship with or influence over the operators of those systems.

4. Your inputs

You confirm that the brand names, competitor names and category descriptions you give me may be used for the Service. I use public information and the public interfaces of the assistants only; I never access your accounts or systems.

5. Deliverables

You receive a web report, a printable version and the recorded answers, as stated in the quote. One round of clarification questions is included. If the delivered audit does not contain the agreed scope, I complete it at no charge; if that is not possible, the deposit is refunded.

6. License and intellectual property

On full payment you receive a perpetual, worldwide license to use, copy and share the report inside your organization and with your agencies. Recorded assistant answers are quotations of third-party output provided for analysis; their further use is subject to the respective assistant's terms. My question banks, templates, tooling and method remain mine.

7. AI disclosure

AI assistants are the subject of the measurement, and software tabulates mentions and positions. Every answer is read, and every recommendation is written and reviewed, by a person. Reports carry the note "AI-assisted, human-reviewed".

8. Samples

Sample audits on this site are prepared from public information without the company's involvement, are labeled as samples, and are removed within one business day at the request of the company concerned.

9. Liability

My total liability under an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. I am not liable for indirect losses, lost sales, lost profits or decisions you take based on the report.

10. Governing law

Hungarian law applies. Disputes go to the competent courts of Hungary, without prejudice to mandatory rules that may apply to you.
