Terms and conditions

Last updated September 4, 2026

These terms cover your membership of Good Links Club. Read the three clauses in the boxes carefully. They say that outcomes are not guaranteed, that you take on the risk of taking part, and that you cover us if your own sites or content cause a problem.

Who this agreement is between

This agreement is between you, the member, and Right Thing Agency LLC, doing business as Good Links Club. In these terms, "we", "us", and "the club" mean Right Thing Agency LLC. "You" means the person or company holding the account, and anybody you let use it.

If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you are confirming you have the authority to bind that company. If you manage sites for clients, you are confirming you have the right to add those sites and to place links on them.

What the service is

Good Links Club is a private, reviewed network for editorial citations. We crawl and index the sites on your account, match passages of your writing to places where a citation genuinely fits, and check the links that get placed. Matching runs on relevance.

We do not write your content, we do not publish anything on your site, and we do not place links for you. Every suggestion waits for you to accept it, and you place the link yourself or through a tool you have installed. You can decline any suggestion for any reason.

Membership is not automatic. Every domain is reviewed before it joins and re-checked while it stays, and we may refuse or remove any site. The published rules at how it works form part of this agreement.

What you agree to do

You will only add sites you own or are authorised to manage, and the information you give us about them will be accurate.

You will follow the house rules. In summary, and without limiting what the full rules say: links are real editorial citations inside article bodies, anchors are descriptive rather than commercial, you do not exceed the per-article limits, and you do not attempt to manipulate matching, scoring, or verification.

You will keep placed links live and unchanged. Every link is re-checked once a month for its first 6 months. If a check finds a link dead, altered, or no longer followable, you have 14 days to restore it before the tokens it earned are taken back. If you remove a domain from your account, links it placed in the 90 days before removal are still checked and their tokens can still be taken back.

You will not resell, sublicense, or share access to the club, and you will not use it to place links on sites you do not control.

Tokens are not money

Tokens are an internal accounting unit that records giving and receiving inside the club. They are not currency, not a security, not a stored-value instrument, and not property. They have no cash value, cannot be redeemed for money, and cannot be transferred to anyone outside your account.

We may adjust, suspend, or take back tokens where a link fails a check, where a placement breached the rules, or to correct an error. A balance can go below zero when tokens are taken back after they were spent. Nothing you pay us is a purchase of tokens: fees are for access to the service, priced per domain.

If your membership ends, any token balance ends with it. There is no refund of tokens in any form.

Fees, plans, and cancellation

Plans are priced per domain and are published at pricing. Applying costs $5 once, on any plan, with that plan's included domains from the first day, and takes a payment method at signup. Your plan begins billing at its normal price about seven days after the first link to one of your sites is placed and verified, and we tell you the exact date in the app when that link goes live. Until then, no recurring fee is charged. We aim to deliver a first link within 90 days of approval; if it takes longer, billing simply does not start until it happens. The offer that applies is the one published when you signed up, and does not change afterwards.

The $5 is an application fee. It pays for the review of the site you add: we begin crawling, scoring and reading that site as soon as you add it, and that work is done whatever the outcome. It is therefore earned when the review begins and is not refundable, and that includes the case where your site is not approved. Approval is never guaranteed, and paying the fee does not entitle you to membership, to a listing, to any link, or to a second review.

Fees are billed in advance and charged through our payment processor. Adding or removing a domain changes what you pay from the next billing period. All payments are final: fees already paid are not refundable, in whole or in part, and that covers the application fee, plan fees for any period whether or not you used it, and fees for a domain you release part way through a period. Our refund policy sets this out in full. Nothing here limits a right under the law of your country that cannot be waived by agreement, and where such a right applies it prevails over this paragraph.

You can cancel at any time from your billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. We may suspend or end your membership for a breach of these terms, for non-payment, or where continuing would put other members at risk.

No guarantee of results

You acknowledge and assume all risk

SEO OUTCOMES ARE NOT GUARANTEED. You acknowledge that search engines are independent third parties, that they change their ranking systems and their policies without notice to us, and that neither we nor anyone else can control or predict how they will treat any link, page, or site.

You acknowledge that taking part carries risk, including the risk that rankings fall, that traffic falls, that a search engine treats a link as a violation of its own guidelines, and that a site receives a manual or algorithmic penalty. You accept those risks and you assume them in full. You take part on your own judgement, for your own reasons, and at your own risk.

We publish our rules and the reasoning behind them at the honest risk, and we recommend you read it before joining. Nothing we publish is advice about your particular site.

Release of liability

Provided as is, and liability is limited

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, the service is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, you release Right Thing Agency LLC, doing business as Good Links Club, along with its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents, from all claims, demands, damages, and causes of action arising out of or relating to your use of the service, your participation in the network, any link given or received, and any action taken by a search engine.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost traffic, lost rankings, lost data, or loss of goodwill, even if we were told such damages were possible.

Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to this agreement is limited to the fees you actually paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations. Where that is the case, the exclusions and limitations above apply to the fullest extent that jurisdiction allows.

Indemnification

You cover us for claims that come from your side

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Right Thing Agency LLC, doing business as Good Links Club, together with its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents, from and against any claim, demand, action, loss, liability, damage, penalty, cost, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to:

(a) your sites, your content, and anything published on them; (b) any link you place, request, receive, alter, or remove; (c) your breach of these terms or of the house rules; (d) your infringement or misappropriation of anybody's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; (e) your violation of any law or of any third party's terms, including the guidelines of a search engine; and (f) any claim by a client of yours relating to work you did using the service.

We will tell you promptly about any claim we want covered, and you may control the defence with counsel we reasonably approve. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault on our behalf or imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.

Your content and your data

You keep ownership of your sites and everything you publish on them. You give us permission to crawl your sites, store and index their content, and process it to find and check citations, for as long as the domain is on your account and afterwards where we need it to verify links or keep records.

Member domains and page URLs are encrypted where we store them, and other members are never shown who you are before they have accepted a citation. How we handle information is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of this agreement.

Ending your membership

You may leave at any time. We may suspend or end an account for a breach of these terms, for non-payment past the point where we have asked, for behavior that puts other members at risk, or where we are required to.

When membership ends, access ends, tokens end, and your domains leave the network. Links already placed stay where they are: they belong to the sites they sit on, and neither side is required to remove them. Clauses 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 survive the end of this agreement.

Governing law and disputes

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The state and federal courts located in Tennessee have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement, and both sides consent to that jurisdiction.

Before filing anything, you agree to write to us at support@goodlinks.club describing the dispute, and to give us 30 days to resolve it.

Changes, and the rest

We may change these terms. If a change is material we will tell you before it takes effect, through the app or by email, and we will update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the service after a change takes effect means you accept it. If you do not accept it, cancel before it takes effect.

If any part of this agreement is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing something is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it in a merger or sale of the business. These terms, together with the published rules and the privacy policy, are the whole agreement between us.
