Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions govern the service provided to the user within the AiSerchAudit software (hereinafter the “Software”), a proprietary system accessible through the website www.aiserchaudit.ai (hereinafter the “Website”), owned by Vivian S.r.l., with registered office at Viale Abruzzi 66, Milan, Tax Code and VAT No. 09232590969.
1. Preamble
- These terms and conditions (“T&C”) govern the use of the AiSerchAudit platform, a comprehensive software solution designed to prepare websites for the Search Generative Experience (SGE) and for search engines enhanced by conversational AI models such as Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and Perplexity, provided “as is”, that is, without customisation or personalisation, and designed to manage all aspects of SEO activities to improve a website’s visibility in search engines.
- AiSerchAudit is software owned by Vivian S.r.l.
- The Website, Software, and all web pages created and identifiable with the AiSerchAudit trademark may not be copied, imitated, or reproduced, in whole or in part (e.g., layouts, content, images, graphics, scripts, etc.), transferred by electronic or conventional means, modified, decoded, linked or used for purposes other than those contemplated in these T&C, without the prior consent of Vivian S.r.l.
- The service is provided in accordance with Italian law, and in particular Legislative Decree No. 70 of 9 April 2003 on electronic commerce, the Italian Civil Code, and Legislative Decree 206/2005 as amended (Consumer Code).
- AiSerchAudit accepts orders from private users (“Consumers”) and professional users (“Professionals”) (hereinafter collectively “User” or “Users”). The inclusion of a VAT number during the purchase procedure is an indication that the purchase is being made for purposes relating to business, commercial, craft, or professional activities. Therefore, the protections provided by law expressly for Consumers do not apply to Professionals.
- The Contract is executed in respect of the User as identified by the data entered in the order form submitted electronically following acceptance of these T&C.
- The use of third-party logos does not constitute endorsement or association of any kind with the companies owning the respective intellectual and industrial property rights.
- The T&C applicable to the AiSerchAudit-User relationship are those in force on the date of registration for a trial or on subscription. Such T&C may be amended at any time by AiSerchAudit, and any amendments shall take effect from the time they are published on the Website, without prejudice to the User’s right of withdrawal as set out below.
- Before undertaking a trial or making a purchase and thus proceeding with payment, the Customer is required to read these terms and conditions carefully. Submitting the order implies acknowledgement and express acceptance of the same, both as general conditions of sale and of any stipulations in the purchase procedure.
- For any request or communication, the Customer may contact Vivian S.r.l. by email at [-].
- The User acknowledges and accepts that all communications regarding the relationship with Vivian S.r.l. will be sent to the email address provided at registration or on submission of the order, with the ability to download information onto durable media as provided and within the limits of the Website.
- The above preamble forms an integral and substantial part of this Contract, and the Customer declares to have full knowledge and to accept its content without reservation.
2. Conditions of Use
- The User may make use of the Software by either undertaking a free trial for the period indicated in the relevant section of the Website or by purchasing a monthly or annual subscription.
- AiSerchAudit is not a software solution for tracking website visits and does not have access to detailed information about particular traffic sources such as referrals, social network traffic, direct traffic, advertising campaign traffic or email traffic that requires the installation of tracking codes on the User’s website. Furthermore, AiSerchAudit is not aware of all possible keywords that might be used by search engine users; thus, estimates are performed on a sample of keywords considered relevant by its algorithms, not on the totality of keywords actually used in SERPs.
For these reasons, AiSerchAudit cannot be held responsible for any misinterpretation of such data or any losses arising therefrom. To gain a clear picture of actual website traffic, it is necessary to use traditional analytics software and have full access to internal analytics systems (such as server log analysis or pixel tracking), in order to obtain information on all traffic sources.
3. Subject Matter
- These T&C govern the service provided through the Software, which enables monitoring, management and analysis of website indexing systems. By registering, accessing or using the services, the User agrees to enter into a legally binding contract with Vivian S.r.l. (even when using the Software on behalf of a company) and fully accepts these T&C. By signing the contract, Vivian S.r.l. and the User do not form a partnership or any other form of collaboration or subordination.
- Upon access, the User benefits from the Software’s features according to the chosen subscription plan. Such features are described in a guide available in a specific section of the Website, the intellectual property rights and copyright for which are owned by Vivian S.r.l.
4. Registration
- To use the Software, the User must register, which is allowed solely for individuals (not bots) who have reached the age of 18 and have full legal capacity, possess a valid email address and an accepted payment method as set out on the Website.
- The User undertakes to ensure compliance with the applicable T&C by any third parties on whose behalf they access or use AiSerchAudit for business or commercial purposes. The Professional User warrants to have authority to bind such third parties to these conditions.
- Upon registration, the User declares that all information provided is true, accurate, up-to-date and complete, on penalty of contract invalidity, and undertakes to keep such information up to date at all times.
5. Trial Period
- The User of the Website can undertake a free trial whose duration is indicated in the relevant section listing the tariff plans.
- To activate the trial period, the User must create an account by completing the registration form and selecting a valid payment method. This serves only to verify the authenticity of the data and ensure the uniqueness of registration.
- It is strictly forbidden to activate more than one free trial using the same email address, credit card, or payment method.
- The trial period does not entail any charge, either upon registration or upon its expiry, and is not subject to automatic renewal.
- Once the trial period ends, use of the Software will automatically cease. The User may then choose to subscribe or discontinue the service, with no obligation.
6. Purchase Procedure
- The User may purchase the Software via the Website by selecting one of the plans shown, with the features most appropriate to their needs.
- By submitting the request via the Website (which constitutes acceptance of the contract as proposed by Vivian S.r.l. through the Website), the contract relating to these T&C shall be deemed concluded and valid. By entering into this Contract, the Customer declares, under their own responsibility, (i) to have the capacity to enter into a legally binding contract (including for any represented third parties), (ii) that all information provided is truthful, and (iii) to accept the T&C in full.
- Correct receipt of the order is confirmed by Vivian S.r.l. by way of a summary communication sent to the email address provided by the User during the order form completion.
- Vivian S.r.l. may request further information by email or telephone, primarily in order to properly fulfil contractual obligations. The Customer is therefore required to supply genuine data in the order form.
- Vivian S.r.l. reserves the right not to fulfil purchase orders that do not provide adequate guarantees of solvency or that are incomplete or incorrect. In such cases, Vivian S.r.l. undertakes to promptly communicate with the User. If the order form and payment have already been submitted, Vivian S.r.l. will arrange to refund any amount already paid.
7. Subscriptions: Duration and Types
- The User may choose to subscribe to a plan with the characteristics and Software licence period described in the relevant section of the Website.
- Once the plan has been purchased, the User may not withdraw from it, except where mandated by law and in the case that Vivian S.r.l. exercises its right to amend these T&C. In that case, withdrawal may be exercised within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of such amendment.
- The User acknowledges that the plan will renew automatically at the end of the chosen period, for further periods of equal duration and on the same terms and conditions. If the User does not wish to renew the plan automatically, they must deactivate their account and any automatic payments prior to renewal.
- If the User wishes to downgrade their subscription, they may allow the existing plan to expire (by cancelling automatic renewal if provided) and then activate a new plan.
- The User accepts and acknowledges that the termination of the service for any reason will result in the deletion of project data stored in their account.
8. Prices and Payments
- The price of each plan is payable in Euros, including applicable taxes and mandatory charges.
- Vivian S.r.l. reserves the right to change sales prices at any time for technical, commercial, or market reasons. Any price changes will take effect at the time of contract renewal (unless previously cancelled as above).
- If an incorrect and/or obviously derisory price is published for any reason (system error, human error, etc.), the order shall be cancelled, even in the event of initial validation.
- The User guarantees to Vivian S.r.l. that they have the necessary authorisations to use the chosen payment method when placing the order.
- Under no circumstances shall Vivian S.r.l. be held liable for any fraudulent or improper use of credit or prepaid cards by third parties when paying for products purchased on the Website.

- The non-consumer User has no right of withdrawal.
10. Right of Withdrawal for Consumers
- In compliance with the provisions of the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree No. 206/2005), the User qualifying as a Consumer is entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract for any reason within 14 (fourteen) days of the first subscription to the service, without penalty and without prejudice to the provisions below.
- Pursuant to Article 59, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of services – including digital services – after the service itself has begun. The Software provides a digital service accessible online, and the User, by accepting these T&C, expressly agrees to the commencement of performance and acknowledges the loss of the right of withdrawal from the moment access to the Software is granted.
- In all other cases, the right of withdrawal may be exercised by the Consumer User within 14 days from receipt of the order confirmation email, provided they have not accessed the Software. The Consumer must send a withdrawal request to the email address specified on the Website for communications, stating their full name, purchase date, type of subscription, and order number (if applicable). Vivian S.r.l. will reimburse the User the amount paid within 14 days of the withdrawal request, using the same payment method as the Consumer used for the initial transaction, unless otherwise agreed by the Consumer.
