Hereinafter referred to as “prokodo” or the “Provider”.

1. “prokodo” is the business name of the sole trader Christian Salat and is not a separate legal entity.
2. These Terms and Conditions apply to paid digital website-analysis services ordered through prokodo's United States commercial market, in particular the Website Potential Analysis / Paid Website Audit.
3. These Terms apply to both individual consumers and business customers.
4. A “Consumer” for the purposes of these Terms is an individual purchasing primarily for personal, family or household purposes.
5. A “Business Customer” is a person or organisation purchasing primarily for commercial, business, trade or professional purposes.
6. Whether a customer qualifies as a Consumer or Business Customer is determined by the primary purpose of the transaction and applicable law. No separate buyer-type declaration is required during checkout. Mandatory consumer rights are not affected by the absence of such a declaration.
7. Orders placed through prokodo's Germany commercial market are governed by the separate Terms and Conditions applicable to that market.
8. Individual agreements, specific service descriptions shown during checkout or separately agreed offers take precedence over these Terms to the extent they expressly provide otherwise.

1. The United States commercial market is intended for customers whose billing country is the United States.
2. prokodo may reject or discontinue an order placed through the United States commercial market if payment or billing information shows that the order is not eligible for that market. In such a case, no final charge will be made where the payment has not yet been captured.
3. Prices for the United States commercial market are displayed in U.S. dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.
4. Applicable taxes, if any, are calculated or displayed during checkout. The total amount displayed in Stripe Checkout before the customer submits the payment is decisive.

1. The subject matter of the contract is a one-time digital Website Potential Analysis for a website, domain or URL specified by the customer.

2. prokodo creates a digital report containing analysis results generated automatically and with AI support.

3. The report may in particular include:
   -prioritised findings,
   -summary / Decision Summary,
   -recommendations for action,
   -Work Orders,
   -implementation prompts,
   -code, markup or configuration examples,
   -acceptance criteria,
   -verification guidance,
   -roadmap or backlog items,
   -export or copy functions where included in the booked package.

4. The report serves as a decision-making and implementation aid.

5. It is not legal advice, tax advice, an expert opinion guaranteeing success, a complete technical due-diligence review, a penetration test, a certified accessibility audit or an agency service involving manual implementation.

6. The analysis reflects the technically retrievable state of the specified website at the time of analysis.

1. Unless expressly stated otherwise during checkout, the Basic Website Potential Analysis includes:
   -a digital Basic Website Audit for one specified website, domain or URL,
   -an in-depth analysis of up to 15 selected pages that can be technically discovered and retrieved,
   -supplementary site-wide checks of additional technically discoverable URLs where provided for by the analysis method and technically possible,
   -technical, SEO, performance, accessibility, content, UX and conversion-oriented analysis,
   -prioritised findings,
   -report summary / Decision Summary,
   -P1/P2 Work Orders where corresponding findings exist,
   -implementation prompts,
   -code, markup or configuration examples where useful and safe,
   -acceptance criteria and verification steps,
   -online access to the report for 12 months from provision.

2. An individual full review of every URL discovered on the website is not owed.

3. prokodo may use external services and technical analysis tools, including crawling, HTML evaluation, proprietary rules, PageSpeed/Lighthouse/PSI data, AI models and comparable analysis methods.

4. The scope, content, weighting and level of detail of the report may vary depending on the website, technical accessibility, available data and package scope.

5. A report may be contractually deliverable even where individual pages, content, metrics or analysis areas could not be processed technically or in full, provided that the report as a whole contains the essential analysis results and recommendations within the booked product scope in a usable form.

6. There is no entitlement to analysis of every individual URL or detection of every error, risk or optimisation opportunity.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the following are not included:

• ongoing support,
• personal consultation calls,
• manual implementation of recommendations,
• re-analysis,
• ongoing monitoring,
• permanent archiving,
• a complete SEO audit,
• a complete performance audit,
• a complete accessibility audit,

• project-management, agency or development services,
• unlimited report access,
• future features not expressly included in the booked product.

prokodo does not guarantee that every subpage, error, potential issue, technical characteristic or legal risk of a website will be identified.

Recommendations may require adaptation to the customer's specific CMS, framework, hosting setup, plugins, theme or technical project environment.

Code examples, prompts and implementation guidance are generic aids and must be professionally reviewed, adapted and tested before production use.

1. The presentation of the Website Potential Analysis on prokodo's website does not constitute a legally binding offer by prokodo but an invitation to place an order.
2. The customer provides the information required for the analysis and order, including the website or domain to be analysed and any required contact, billing or company information.

5. A contractually deliverable report may also be provided where individual pages, content, metrics or analysis areas could not be evaluated technically or in full, subject to the requirements described in Section 4.

7. No specific completion time is guaranteed unless expressly agreed.
8. If no contractually deliverable report can be created, the authorised amount will not be finally captured by prokodo. The authorisation will be cancelled or released where technically possible.

1. Personal online access to the report is provided for 12 months from delivery.

6. A new analysis, update, continuous monitoring or permanent archiving is not included in the one-time purchase.

3. Applicable taxes, if any, are calculated and displayed during checkout according to the billing and tax information available to the payment and tax systems.
4. The total amount displayed in Stripe Checkout before the order is submitted is decisive.
5. Payment is processed through Stripe Checkout using the payment methods expressly offered there.

10. Electronic invoices, receipts or other payment documents may be provided after successful capture.
11. The customer must provide accurate billing and tax information.

1. The customer may submit only websites, domains or URLs that the customer is authorised to have analysed or whose analysis is otherwise legally permissible.

4. The report is a decision-making and implementation aid and does not constitute binding professional, legal or tax advice.
5. Code examples, prompts and implementation guidance must be reviewed, adapted and tested before production use.

1. Mandatory statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded remain unaffected.
