Notices, credits, and terms of use

1. Using the site

What I publish on chatgptseofrance.com reflects, honestly and at the time of writing, how I read the way ChatGPT names and recommends French businesses. It is not legal, regulatory, or commercial advice. If you act on something here without an active engagement with me, the choice is yours and so is the risk.

Bulk scraping of the site is not allowed; neither is reconstructing my audit method from public material alone, nor republishing large parts of it without credit. Links and attributed quotation are, as a rule, welcome.

2. The form

Sending a case is not an offer, a contract, or a promise on any side. It is simply a clean way to hand me the business, the ChatGPT answer, and the correction you expect. I reply once the case lets me say something useful. Sending it earns no guaranteed answer, no guaranteed turnaround, and no guaranteed work.

I may decline a case if it falls outside what I take on, if my current capacity cannot reach it, or for any other practical reason. A decline is not a verdict on your business; far more often it is plain capacity and fit with this narrow focus.

3. How engagements run

Paid work runs under a written contract both sides sign before anything begins. That contract sets the scope, deliverables, timing, fees, payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property, indemnities, and how disputes are settled. These site terms do not stand in for it.

Engagements follow the working rules stated elsewhere on the site: every recommendation problem is first separated into training-memory residue, browsing evidence, entity confusion, recency failure, or category drift, then tied back to a public evidence trail, and no correction is finished until it can be made durable, public, and quotable. If an instruction cuts against those rules, the work is reshaped or stopped. The rules are not traded away for convenience.

4. No promises about results

How ChatGPT names, describes, or recommends a business depends on things no auditor fully controls: how models behave, the policies of third-party platforms, the choices a firm makes when applying corrections, the market, and plain time. I cannot guarantee a mention, a recommendation, a citation, or an accurate description from any AI system. Where there are concrete expectations about outcomes, they are written into the engagement contract, with the caveats spelled out and the scope defined.

5. Liability

For free use of the site, liability is limited as far as the law allows. For paid work, it is set and capped inside the contract itself. Nothing here removes liability for deliberate wrongdoing, fraud, gross negligence, or anything else the law does not permit to be excluded.

6. Governing law and venue

For use of the site, French law and the French courts apply, unless consumer-protection law gives a user a more favourable venue. For paid work, the governing law and venue are fixed in the contract, normally the operator's home jurisdiction unless both sides agree otherwise.

7. Changes to these terms

I revise these terms as the way I work changes. The "Updated" date at the top marks the current version. Changes that touch active engagements are told to clients directly; changes that affect only the site are simply reflected here.
