Effective August 20, 2026
These Terms are an agreement between you (“Client,” “you”) and RCP Inc, a South Dakota corporation doing business as BlackHills.biz (“we,” “us”). By using blackhills.biz, creating an account, or buying our services, you accept these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind it.
1. Services
We create written content — blog posts, articles, and social media copy — for your business. Depending on your plan, we may also publish that content to your website or social accounts, provide copy-and-paste posts for you to publish yourself, perform keyword research and SEO work, and deliver periodic progress reports. The specific deliverables, volume, and schedule are what is described in your plan at signup.
2. Accounts
You must give accurate information and keep it current. You are responsible for your password and for everything done under your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
3. Fees, billing, and cancellation
- Prices, billing periods, and any trial or refund terms are those displayed at signup, and they are part of this agreement.
- Recurring plans renew automatically at the stated interval and price until you cancel.
- Cancel by written notice to bhbiz@blackhills.biz. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Except where a stated refund term applies, fees already paid are not refundable.
- We may change prices with at least 30 days’ notice by email. Continuing after the change takes effect means you accept the new price.
- Failed or reversed payments may result in suspension. You are responsible for any applicable sales tax.
4. Your responsibilities
You will:
- Give us accurate information about your business and respond to reasonable requests for input, review, and approval.
- Provide account access we need to publish, and keep it working.
- Own or have rights to any logos, photos, text, or other material you give us to use.
- Review published content. You are responsible for the accuracy of factual claims about your own business — hours, prices, licenses, offers, credentials, service areas.
- Comply with the terms of any platform we publish to on your behalf, and with all laws applicable to your business and its advertising.
Delays caused by missing information or approvals may push out delivery. They do not pause billing.
5. AI-assisted content
We use artificial intelligence tools as part of producing content. Human review is part of our process, but AI systems can produce inaccurate, outdated, or non-original material. You are responsible for reviewing content before or after it publishes and telling us about anything wrong. We will correct errors we are told about at no charge. We make no guarantee that content is free of similarity to other published material.
6. Ownership of deliverables
Ownership of the content we deliver is governed by the Copyright page, which is part of these Terms. In short: when your invoices are paid in full, you own the content we made for you; we keep ownership of our own tools, prompts, templates, and processes, and a limited right to show the work as a sample.
7. Results
Search rankings, traffic, engagement, and leads depend on factors we do not control, including search engine and platform algorithms, competition, and your own business. We do not guarantee any specific ranking, traffic level, revenue, or other result, and nothing we say in marketing or conversation is a guarantee of results.
8. Third-party platforms
We do not control Google, Meta, X, LinkedIn, your web host, or any other platform. Their outages, rule changes, account suspensions, or removal of content are not our responsibility.
9. Acceptable use
You may not use our services to produce or publish content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, deceptive, infringing, sexually explicit, or that promotes illegal activity. We may refuse or discontinue work we consider inconsistent with this section or with our own standards, and may terminate for cause on notice.
10. Confidentiality
Each side will protect non-public business information the other provides and use it only to perform under this agreement.
11. Warranty disclaimer
Except as expressly stated here, our services and this site are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by South Dakota law, our total liability arising out of or related to these Terms or our services will not exceed the amount you paid us in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility.
13. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from material you supplied to us, from factual claims about your business, from your use of published content, and from your violation of these Terms or of any law or platform rule.
14. Term and termination
Either side may terminate as provided in Section 3 or, for material breach, on 15 days’ written notice if the breach is not cured. On termination we stop publishing, deliver work already paid for, and remove stored credentials on written request per the Privacy Policy. Sections 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 survive.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any lawsuit must be brought in the state or federal courts serving Lawrence County, South Dakota, and both sides consent to that jurisdiction and venue. Before filing, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by direct discussion for 30 days.
16. General
These Terms, plus the plan details shown at signup, the Privacy Policy, and the Copyright page, are the entire agreement and replace prior discussions. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this agreement without our written consent; we may assign it to a successor. Neither side is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
17. Changes
We may revise these Terms. Material changes will be posted here with a new effective date and emailed to account holders. Continued use after the effective date means you accept them.
