General Terms of Use

Version 1.0 — In force as of 18 March 2026

This English version is provided for convenience only; in case of any discrepancy, the French version shall prevail.

1. Purpose

These General Terms of Use (hereinafter the "Terms") set out the rules for accessing and using the Seogard platform (hereinafter the "Service"), published by SAVEPNP, a French SAS with share capital of €1,000, registered with the Créteil Trade and Companies Register under No. 912 784 030, with its registered office at 25 rue Camille Blanc, 94400 Vitry-sur-Seine (hereinafter the "Publisher"). Information about the Publisher is set out in the legal notice.

Any registration or use of the Service implies full and unreserved acceptance of these Terms as well as the General Terms of Sale and the Privacy Policy.

2. Service reserved for professionals

The Service is exclusively intended for Users acting within the scope of their professional activity (hereinafter "Professionals"), within the meaning of the preliminary article of the French Consumer Code. By creating an account, the User represents and warrants that they are acting for professional purposes and not as a consumer.

Accordingly, the provisions of the French Consumer Code relating to consumer protection (in particular the right of withdrawal, consumer mediation and unfair terms) do not apply to the relationship between the Publisher and the User.

3. Definitions

  • User: any natural or legal person acting in a professional capacity and holding an account on the Service.
  • Organization: an entity created by a User grouping together sites, zones and members.
  • Crawl: automated analysis of a set of web pages by the Service.
  • Crawled page: a web page actually analyzed by the Service during a given billing period.

4. Registration and account

Registration is reserved for professionals: natural persons acting within the scope of their professional activity, or legal entities duly represented. The User undertakes to provide accurate and up-to-date information upon registration.

Each User is responsible for the confidentiality of their login credentials. Any use of the account is presumed to be carried out by the account holder. The User undertakes to inform the Publisher immediately of any unauthorized use of their account.

Upon registration, the User expressly accepts these Terms, the Terms of Sale and the Privacy Policy. This acceptance is time-stamped and retained as evidence.

5. Description of the Service

Seogard is a technical SEO monitoring tool that:

  • Analyzes web pages by comparing the raw HTML (SSR) and the JavaScript-rendered output (CSR)
  • Detects SEO regressions (meta, canonicals, noindex, status codes, etc.)
  • Sends instant alerts by email
  • Provides a complete history of detected changes

6. User obligations

The User undertakes to:

  • Use the Service in accordance with its intended purpose and these Terms
  • Not use the Service for unlawful activities or activities infringing the rights of third parties
  • Only crawl websites that it owns or for which it has explicit authorization from the owner. The User represents and warrants, each time a site is added and each time a crawl is launched, that it has the authority or authorization required to analyze the site concerned. The Publisher does not verify this authorization and is in no way liable for unauthorized use of the Service on third-party sites
  • Comply with the terms of use, the robots.txt file and any technical directive of the crawled site
  • Not use the Service for unauthorized competitive surveillance, abusive scraping, collection of personal data or any activity contrary to the law
  • Not attempt to circumvent the security measures or technical limitations of the Service
  • Not overload the Service's infrastructure through abusive use
  • Not resell, sublicense or make the Service available to third parties without authorization

7. Warranty and indemnification by the User

The User warrants that it holds the rights necessary to crawl each site added to the Service. It acknowledges that the Publisher provides a neutral technical SEO monitoring tool and has neither the obligation nor the ability to verify that the User is actually authorized to analyze the sites it submits.

In the event of any claim, formal notice, legal action or request for compensation from a third party (in particular the owner of a site crawled without authorization), the User undertakes to indemnify and hold the Publisher harmless for all damages, costs (including attorney and legal fees), fines and awards that the Publisher may incur as a result of the unauthorized use of the Service by the User.

This indemnification obligation survives the termination of the account.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, its interface, its algorithms and its source code (excluding the self-hosted version distributed under the BSL 1.1 license) are the exclusive property of the Publisher. The User has a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right of use for the duration of its registration.

9. Availability of the Service

The Publisher endeavors to ensure the availability of the Service 24/7. Interruptions for maintenance or updates may occur. The Publisher does not guarantee uninterrupted availability and cannot be held liable for temporary interruptions.

The Publisher reserves the right to develop, modify or discontinue all or part of the Service, with reasonable notice for substantial changes.

10. Limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is". The Service is a neutral technical SEO monitoring tool. The Publisher does not control, verify or validate the sites that the User submits for crawling. The Publisher cannot be held liable for:

  • The use of the Service to crawl sites that the User does not own or for which it has no authorization
  • Decisions made by the User on the basis of the information provided by the Service
  • Losses of traffic, revenue or SEO rankings
  • Indirect damages of any kind whatsoever (loss of data, loss of operations, commercial harm, loss of profits)
  • Service interruptions beyond its control (host, network, force majeure)
  • Any harm suffered by a third party as a result of the User's use of the Service

In any event, the Publisher's liability is limited to the amount actually paid by the User over the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Publisher, nor in cases where the law prohibits such a limitation.

11. Termination

The User may delete their account at any time from their account settings or by contacting [email protected]. The Publisher reserves the right to suspend or terminate an account in the event of a breach of these Terms, following a formal notice left unanswered for 15 days (except in cases of urgency or serious breach justifying immediate suspension).

12. Changes to the Terms

The Publisher reserves the right to amend these Terms. Any change will be notified by email at least 30 days before it takes effect. The version number and date are shown at the top of this page. If the User does not accept the new Terms, they may terminate their account before the changes take effect.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, the parties undertake to seek an amicable solution for 30 days. Failing that, any dispute will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Créteil.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does Seogard monitor?

Seogard continuously monitors 71 SEO and GEO rules on every page: meta title and description, canonical, accidental noindex, status codes (404, 500, redirects), SSR/CSR regressions, hreflang, Open Graph, llms.txt, blocked AI citation crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot) and much more. Every regression triggers a real-time email alert, ranked by severity.

Is Seogard free?

The self-hosted version is free, source available (BSL 1.1 license), with no page limit. The Cloud version is usage-based, for teams that prefer not to run the infrastructure.

How is Seogard different from a classic crawler?

Seogard automatically and continuously compares the raw HTML (what Google indexes) with the JavaScript render (what you see), on every page. Broken SSR goes unnoticed in the browser — Seogard catches it before Google re-renders your pages.

How do alerts work?

Every page is crawled daily. As soon as a change is detected (modified meta, abnormal status code, broken SSR), an alert with the before/after diff is sent by email.
