LinkExchange Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 20 July 2026

1. Your Acceptance of this Agreement

This is an agreement between nandbox Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”), an Ontario Corporation, the owner and operator of LinkExchange (linkexchange.ai) and its related websites, web applications, APIs, browser extensions and plugins — including the LinkExchange plugin for WordPress — (together, the “Service”), and you (“you”). This agreement applies to visitors, registered users, and anyone who accesses or installs the Service (collectively, “Users”). All Users are subject to the following terms (these “Terms”).

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service. By creating an account, installing the plugin, or otherwise using the Service, you agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as amended from time to time. If you do not wish to agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of Canada or of your own jurisdiction.

The Company may revise and update these Terms at any time by posting the amended Terms. Your continued use of the Service means that you accept and agree to the revised Terms. If you disagree with the Terms as amended, or are dissatisfied with the Service, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Service.

The most current version of this agreement, which supersedes all previous versions, can always be reviewed at https://linkexchange.ai/terms.

2. The LinkExchange Service

2.1 What the Service does. LinkExchange is a marketplace that matches websites that want to publish outbound links (“Hosts”) with websites that want to acquire them (“Advertisers”). The Service analyses the content of participating websites, proposes relevant matches, prices placements, holds and settles credits between the parties, and verifies that agreed links are live.

2.2 Connecting your website. To use the Service you must connect at least one website you own or are authorised to administer. You do this by installing the LinkExchange plugin, or by verifying ownership of the domain through the method we provide. You represent that you are the owner of, or have written authority to publish links on, every website you connect. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, and we are not liable for losses caused by unauthorised use of your account.

2.3 Content analysis. To match your pages with relevant counterparties, the Service reads and indexes the content of the pages on the websites you connect, together with related metadata. What is transmitted and how it is handled is described in the Privacy Policy. By connecting a website you consent to this analysis. You retain ownership of your content — see section 5.

2.4 Link verification. The Service periodically fetches the public URLs of pages that carry an agreed link, in order to confirm that the link is present, live and configured as agreed. You consent to this automated fetching of your public pages for the duration of any placement and for a reasonable period afterwards.

2.5 Credits. Placements are settled in account credits. Credits are a unit of account internal to the Service and exist solely to price and settle placements between Users. Credits have no cash or monetary value. They are not money, not a stored-value or payment instrument, and not a claim on the Company for any sum. Credits are not subject to cash-out: they cannot be cashed out, withdrawn, redeemed, exchanged, refunded or paid out to you in any currency, under any circumstances. Credits also cannot be sold, transferred or assigned, whether outside the Service or between accounts, and confer no rights on termination or expiry of your account. Credits you acquire by paying Fees, and credits you earn by hosting links, can be used only to acquire placements through the Service, and any unused balance is forfeited when your account closes.

The Company offers no facility to cash out, withdraw or convert credits. If we introduce one in future, it will be governed by terms published at that time, and nothing in this section obliges us to introduce one.

Service payments are not credits. Separately from the credit system, the Company may pay publishers directly for certain services performed through the LinkExchange website — such as guest posting and author posting. Those payments are fees for services you have agreed to perform, are arranged and settled through the website under the terms applicable to them, and are not a redemption, conversion or withdrawal of credits. Credits earned in the marketplace cannot be converted into such a payment, and nothing in this section entitles you to be paid in money for credits.

Credits earned by hosting a link are held until the placement is verified, and may be reversed if a link is later found to have been removed, altered, blocked from indexing, or otherwise not maintained as agreed. We may adjust, suspend or cancel credits obtained through error, fraud, or any breach of these Terms.

2.6 Fees and payment. You will pay the subscription fees, placement charges and other fees set out on our pricing page or in the fee schedule presented at the time of sign-up (“Fees”). Fees are due when the order is placed. Payment is processed by our third-party payment processor; we do not store your full card details. You authorise us to set up an automated recurring billing process for any subscription you purchase.

2.7 Plans, refunds, term and termination. Subscriptions are offered on two plans: a monthly plan, billed every month, and an annual plan, the Pro plan, billed once a year. The billing period of the plan you choose is its “Term”. Each subscription continues for the whole of its Term and renews automatically for successive periods equal to that Term until you cancel. To cancel, notify us before the next recurring billing date, either through your account settings or in writing to [email protected]; cancellation takes effect at the end of the Term then in progress, and you keep access until that point. All Fees are earned when received and are non-refundable, including where you cancel or stop using the Service part-way through a Term. You agree not to initiate a chargeback in respect of any Fee. Termination does not affect rights or obligations that accrued before it.

2.8 Your dealings with other Users. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users of the Service. We may, but are not obliged to, mediate disputes between Users. We have no liability for any User’s acts or omissions.

2.9 Changes to the Service. We may, without prior notice, change the Service, change its pricing, add or remove features, or introduce usage limits, for you or for Users generally.

3. Acceptable Use and Link Quality

You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone acting on your behalf to:

  • Connect a website you do not own or are not authorised to publish links on.
  • Misrepresent a website’s traffic, authority, ownership, topical relevance or editorial standards.
  • Accept a placement and then remove, nofollow, noindex, redirect, cloak, hide, or otherwise devalue the agreed link without our agreement, or take any other step designed to receive credit for a link that is not genuinely live to visitors and search engines.
  • Serve different content to our verification fetches than to ordinary visitors.
  • Use the Service to place links to content that is unlawful, deceptive, malicious, infringing, defamatory, obscene, or that promotes such content.
  • Operate networks of sites created principally for the purpose of selling links, or otherwise use the Service in a manner intended to manipulate search rankings in breach of the published guidelines of any search engine.
  • Use any automated system, including robots, spiders, scrapers or load testers, that sends more requests to our servers in a given period than a human could reasonably produce; scrape or rip our content; reverse-engineer our systems or protocols; probe outside the boundaries of normal requests; harvest personally identifiable information from the Service; or use the Service for spam or unsolicited commercial solicitation.

We may reject, suspend, unwind or reverse any placement, and remove or suspend any website or account, that we believe in our sole discretion breaches this section, without notice and without refund.

Search engine guidelines. You are responsible for ensuring that your own use of the Service complies with the guidelines of the search engines you care about. The Company does not warrant that any placement will improve, or will not harm, your search rankings, traffic, or any other metric, and gives no guarantee of any SEO outcome.

4. Privacy

You agree that the Company collects, uses and discloses your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. By accepting these Terms, and each time you use the Service, you consent to that collection, use and disclosure.

5. Your Content, and Third-Party Content

5.1 Any content you submit, publish, index or otherwise make available through the Service, including the text of the pages we analyse and the links and anchor text you supply, together with all intellectual property rights in it, is referred to as “User Content”. You retain ownership of your User Content.

5.2 You grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, analyse and process your User Content solely as necessary to operate and improve the Service — including indexing your pages, generating matches, and displaying excerpts, titles, URLs and derived metrics of your pages to counterparties considering a placement with you. This licence ends when you delete the relevant content or close your account, except for copies retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

5.3 By submitting User Content you represent and warrant that you own all rights in it, or have the necessary licences, and that it does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including intellectual property rights or rights of publicity or privacy.

5.4 We reserve the right, but are not obliged, to reject or remove any User Content we believe in our sole discretion violates these Terms. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for User Content posted by you or by any other User.

5.5 The Service links to, and matches you with, third-party websites that we do not maintain or control. Such links are provided as a convenience and are not endorsements. We have not reviewed those websites, are not responsible for their content, products, services, security or practices, and make no representations about their quality, accuracy or safety. Your use of third-party websites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

6. Permitted Users, Access and Jurisdictional Availability

The Service is controlled and offered by the Company from its facilities in Canada. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions. Those who access the Service from elsewhere do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law. The Service may not be used by persons in jurisdictions where access to it, or any part of it, is illegal or prohibited.

7. Licence

Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, limited licence, for the term of this agreement, to access and use the Service, and to install and use the LinkExchange plugin on websites you own or administer, for your own business purposes.

The LinkExchange plugin for WordPress is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights granted to you by that licence in respect of the plugin’s source code; these Terms govern your use of the hosted Service that the plugin connects to.

8. Intellectual Property

The entire contents of the Service (including all information, text, displays, images, data, and any software made available through it) and the design, selection and arrangement of it, are proprietary to the Company or its affiliates or licensors and are protected by Canadian and international laws on patents, copyright, trade marks, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. Neither title nor any intellectual property rights in the Service are transferred to you. Except as expressly authorised by the Company in writing, or as permitted by the GPL in respect of the plugin, you may not reproduce, sublicense, distribute, sell or commercially exploit any part of the Service or access to it. The LinkExchange and nandbox names and logos, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans, are trade marks of the Company or its affiliates. You may not use them without prior written permission. All other marks are used for identification only and may be the trade marks of their respective owners.

9. Your Account

When registering you will be required to create an account. You agree that all information you provide in relation to the account is accurate, complete and kept current, and does not infringe any third-party rights. Failure to do so is a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of your account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account, and you must notify us promptly if you believe your account security has been compromised.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

Your use of the Service is at your own risk. The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, with all faults, without representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties or conditions of title, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, performance, durability, availability, timeliness, accuracy or completeness, all of which are disclaimed by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or available at any particular time or location; that defects will be corrected; that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components; that any particular match, placement, price or verification outcome will be achieved; or that the results of using the Service will meet your requirements.

11. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY OR ITS LICENSORS, CONTRACTORS OR THIRD-PARTY VENDORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE OR ITS CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS REPUTATION, LOSS OF SEARCH RANKINGS OR TRAFFIC, LOSS OF DATA, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS; OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM DELAY, INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE, VIRUSES, DELETION OF FILES, OR ERRORS, OMISSIONS OR INACCURACIES IN THE SERVICE, WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS NEGLIGENCE BY THE COMPANY AND WHETHER OR NOT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS TO ANY PARTY (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO THE COMPANY FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE OCCURRENCE OF THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION.

The Company holds the provisions of this section that are for the benefit of third parties in trust for each of those parties as third-party beneficiaries under this agreement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its partners, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, agents, suppliers, distributors, third-party information providers, licensors, licensees, contractors and others involved in the Service from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising from any violation by you of these Terms or from your use of the Service — including any claim that a link you published or requested infringed a third party’s rights or breached a search engine’s guidelines.

13. Required Age of User

You affirm that you have reached the age of majority and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of majority.

14. Assignment

These Terms, and any rights and licences granted under them, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by the Company without restriction or your consent.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, your use of the Service, and all related matters are governed solely by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the applicable federal laws of Canada, excluding any conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute between the Company and you arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms must be resolved before the Courts of the Province of Ontario sitting in the City of Ottawa, and you irrevocably submit and attorn to the original and exclusive jurisdiction of those Courts. Any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to your use of the Service or these Terms must be commenced within six (6) months after it arises, after which it is forever barred.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, including any changes made from time to time, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company in respect of the Service.

17. Termination

Your licence to use the Service is effective until terminated. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to any or all of the Service at any time, without notice. On termination you must cease all use of the Service and uninstall the plugin from your websites. The Company may terminate your right to access the Service without refund, notice or other liability if you fail to comply with these Terms.
