8. SERVICE DISCLAIMER

9.1 The Ranking of your App:
The ranking of your app may improve, may not improve depending upon the marketing strategies you follow and the various factors like market conditions, active competitors and keyword competition ...etc but we are not accountable for the same as it's not a part of or covered under our services in any way at all. We do not guarantee any improvement in the ranking of your app as such from after purchasing our services.

9.2 Fluctuation in your App's Ranking:
You may see fluctuation (positive or negative) in your app's ranking at any point but we are not at all responsible for that because we do not provide ranking services i.e we do not charge you for getting your app ranked higher but we just deliver the number of installs (or ratings, reviews) you purchase and you get results according to the marketing strategies you follow. Sometimes app falls out of rank for keywords irrespective of how you promote your app as this can be the result of algorithm changes in Play Store or App Store that they do all the time. You should wait for sometime and see how the situation will change as we saw after sometime apps get their ranks back but you can not (and will not) blame us for that in any way at all due to the fact that we are not responsible for the new changes in algorithm done by Google or Apple. 

9.3 Advice or Recommendations:
We may give you some advice or recommendations upon asked or if required or if felt but they are free of charge based on the market trends and best of our experience / knowledge but it should not be treated as a part of service as such and it is your responsibility to discuss it with your internal team of experts or advisors and make your own final decision, therefore, we will not be responsible for the consequences of the same.

9.4 Warning for Keyword Installs:
While creating a campaign for keyword installs you are just purchasing keyword installs on our platform i.e paying for keyword installs only, please keep in mind that you are not paying for ranking improvement or any specific results. We are only responsible to deliver the amount of keyword installs purchased but not responsible for anything related to the keyword ranking or consequences of that. It is advisable not to buy keyword installs too aggressively as it may look like an attempt to manipulate the placement of your app which is against google play developer policy and Google may penalize your app for which we are not responsible at all. We have not faced any problem as such from keyword installs so far and hence on that basis, you can conclude that your app will not be penalized from keyword installs as such but we do not guarantee the same due to the fact that there is no clarity if keywords install are 100% safe.

9.5 Warning for Ratings, Reviews:
As per Google Play developer guidelines, buying incentivized ratings or reviews will be a policy violation and Google may penalize your app. Keep in mind that you are buying ratings, reviews completely at your own risk, so by purchasing ratings and reviews, you agree to take this risk. There is no guarantee for ratings, reviews in any way at all and hence we will not refund your money if ratings, reviews delivered by ASO eShop are blocked or removed by Google in any way at all.
