Legal

Terms of Service

Last updated: May 28, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Audia website (audia.tel) and the products and services provided by Audia Intelligence, Inc. (“Audia,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Site or Services, you agree to these Terms. If you have any questions, please contact us at hello@audia.tel.

1.Use of Our Website and Services

a. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into agreements to use our website or start a trial. Our Services are intended for businesses and organizations (such as salons, barbershops, med spas, fitness studios, and other appointment-based businesses) and not for individual consumer use.

b. Permitted Use

You may use the Site to learn about our Services, start a trial, or contact us. You agree to use the Site and Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

c. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

  • Use the Site or Services in a way that violates any applicable laws or regulations, including telecommunications and data privacy laws.
  • Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to our systems, servers, or networks.
  • Copy, modify, or distribute content from our Site without our prior written consent.
  • Use automated tools (e.g., bots, scrapers) to access or collect data from the Site.
  • Use the AI phone system for spam, unsolicited robocalling, or any purpose prohibited by the TCPA or similar regulations.

d. Lawful Use of Calling and Messaging

Because Audia places phone calls and sends text messages on your behalf, you are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right and all necessary consents to contact the people you ask Audia to call or message. You agree to comply with all laws and industry standards governing those communications — including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the CAN-SPAM Act, and the CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices — and to maintain documented consent where required before any call or message is sent. You will not use Audia to contact anyone who has opted out, or to send unlawful, harassing, or deceptive communications.

2.Trials and Account Sign-Up

a. Signing Up

To start a trial, submit the sign-up form at audia.tel with your name, email address, phone number, business name, and business type. We use this information to contact you, set up your account, and configure Audia for your business, as described in our Privacy Policy. Trials are set up with our team's help.

b. Trial Terms

Trial scope, duration, and any applicable fees are arranged with you during onboarding and may vary by business. We may modify or discontinue trial availability at any time. Plans and pricing for ongoing use are listed at audia.tel.

c. No Obligation

Starting a trial does not obligate you to purchase a subscription, and does not create a binding services agreement until you select a plan and complete checkout (or a separate agreement is executed).

d. Communications

By checking the SMS-consent box at sign-up, or by texting our support number, you agree to receive customer-support text messages from Audia at the mobile number you provide — replies to your questions and to messages you initiate. These are account-related service messages, not marketing, and consent is not a condition of any purchase. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help; message and data rates may apply. See Section 7 for our full SMS Terms.

3.Subscriptions and Billing

  • Plans: Paid plans are billed monthly in advance. Current pricing is listed at audia.tel and may be updated with 30 days' prior notice.
  • Auto-Renewal: Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period and your payment method is charged the then-current fee (plus any overages and applicable amounts) until you cancel. We will not raise your recurring price without at least 30 days' notice.
  • Overages: Usage beyond your plan's included AI call minutes is billed at the per-minute overage rate specified in your plan.
  • Cancellation: You may cancel at any time from your account billing settings or by emailing hello@audia.tel. To avoid the next charge, cancel before your renewal date; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period and you keep access until then. We do not offer prorated refunds for unused time within a billing period.
  • Taxes: Prices are shown inclusive of any applicable taxes — the amount listed at audia.tel is the total you pay.

3A.Payments via Card Reader (POS)

If you enable our card-reader feature (the “POS”), we facilitate in-person card payments between you and your end clients using Stripe Connect (Custom accounts on Stripe’s Accounts v2) and Stripe Terminal. The following terms apply to those payments and are in addition to the rest of these Terms.

a. Merchant of Record

You are the merchant of record for every card payment processed through the POS feature. Audia is the platform that connects you to Stripe; we are not the merchant for the underlying sale and we do not handle the funds outside the Stripe network.

b. Stripe Agreements

By enabling POS, you agree to and are bound by Stripe’s Connected Account Agreement and Stripe’s Services Agreement. Stripe collects additional identity, business, and bank-account information from you in order to enable payouts; that information is collected and held by Stripe.

c. Fees

Each card-present transaction is charged Stripe’s payment-processing fee plus a small Audia application fee (collectively the “POS Fees”). Current rates are listed on our pricing page. POS Fees are deducted from each charge before the remainder is paid out to your connected Stripe account.

d. Refunds

You can issue full or partial refunds from the Audia admin flow. Refunds are issued against the original card and are subject to Stripe and card-network limits — very old charges may no longer be refundable through the card network. When you refund a charge, the Audia application fee is refunded proportionally to you by default. Stripe’s underlying processing fee is not returned on a refund.

e. Chargebacks and Disputes

You are responsible for your own chargebacks and disputes. When a customer disputes a charge, Stripe debits the disputed amount (and any associated fees) directly from your connected Stripe account balance until the dispute is resolved. Audia surfaces dispute status and notifications, but you are the party responsible for responding through Stripe’s dispute flow.

f. PCI and Card Data

We are not a bank. Card data is captured and tokenized by the Stripe Terminal reader and processed by Stripe; Audia does not see, store, or transmit raw card numbers. Our backend retains only non-sensitive transaction metadata — such as a payment-intent identifier, the last four digits of the card, the card brand, line-item descriptions, tip amounts, and refund history — as needed to display receipts and reconcile your account.

4.Intellectual Property

a. Ownership

All content on the Site (including text, graphics, logos, software, and AI models) and the technology underlying our Services are owned solely and exclusively by Audia Intelligence, Inc. or our licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

b. Limited License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site and Services for your internal business purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from our platform, content, or technology without our express written permission.

5.Your Data

You retain ownership of all data you upload or generate through your use of Audia, including your client data and call transcripts. You grant us a limited license to process this data solely to provide the Services. For full details on how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.

When we process personal information about your clients or staff on your behalf, you act as the controller and we act as your processor and service provider. The Data Processing Addendum below governs that processing and forms part of these Terms.

Audia is not a HIPAA-covered entity, and the Services are not configured for protected health information (PHI) by default. If you are a healthcare provider that requires a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), contact us at hello@audia.tel before submitting any PHI.

6.Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information of the other party in connection with the Services (“Confidential Information”), including our software, pricing, and product plans, and your business and client information. Each party agrees to use the other's Confidential Information only to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms, to protect it with at least reasonable care, and not to disclose it to third parties except to service providers bound by similar confidentiality obligations or as required by law. This section does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, or that a party already lawfully possessed or independently developed.

7.SMS Terms

Audia sends two kinds of text messages: messages Audia sends you directly, as an Audia account holder, and messages sent on behalf of a business that uses Audia. The consent, STOP/HELP/START, frequency, rate, and privacy terms below apply to both.

a. Messages Audia sends you (account & customer support)

If you create an Audia account (for example, as a business owner or administrator) and provide your mobile number, you may receive customer-support text messages from Audia — replies to questions you send us and to messages you initiate by texting our support number. We do not send marketing, promotional, two-factor-authentication, or billing-notification text messages to account holders at this time; if we add those in the future, we will update these Terms first.

b. Messages sent on behalf of a business (appointment confirmations & reminders)

If a business that uses Audia collects your phone number, you may receive automated text messages from that business via our platform: appointment confirmations, reminders (typically 24 hours before), reschedule notifications, cancellation notifications, and AI-assistant replies to messages you initiate. We do not send marketing or promotional SMS on a business's behalf unless you have separately opted in to that program with the business directly. Where these messages are sent on behalf of a business, the business — not Audia — is initiating them, even though Audia provides the messaging service.

c. Consent

For messages Audia sends you, you consent by checking the SMS-consent box when you sign up for an Audia account, or by texting our support number (which constitutes consent for our reply). For messages sent on behalf of a business, you consent by checking the SMS consent box when you book through a business's Audia booking page, by verbally agreeing when speaking with the business's AI phone assistant, by texting the business directly, or by an administrator at the business adding you. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.

d. STOP / HELP / START

  • STOP (or STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT, REVOKE, OPTOUT): unsubscribe from all further messages.
  • HELP (or INFO): receive help information from your carrier.
  • START (or YES, UNSTOP): resume messages after a prior STOP (requires a prior consent record).

e. Frequency and rates

Message frequency varies (for appointment messages, typically 1–5 messages per booking; for account messages, based on your support activity). Standard message and data rates may apply per your wireless carrier. We are not responsible for carrier charges.

f. Use of your mobile information

Mobile information, mobile opt-in data, and SMS consent records will not be shared, sold, rented, or transferred to any third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes. We may share mobile information only with service providers (such as Twilio, our SMS carrier) that strictly support delivery of the messages you have requested, and only as needed to operate our platform.

g. Privacy

We persist your consent and opt-out state and use it to gate every send. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle mobile information and consent records.

8.Disclaimers

a. General Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Audia Intelligence, Inc. makes no warranties, either express or implied, about the Site or Services. The Site and Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

b. AI Limitations

Our AI phone system is designed to handle calls, book appointments, and conduct re-engagement campaigns on your behalf. However, we do not guarantee that every call will be handled perfectly or that every booking attempt will succeed. You remain responsible for your business operations and client relationships.

c. No Professional Advice

Information on the Site is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice.

9.Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Audia Intelligence, Inc., its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site or Services. Our total liability for any claim related to these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim.

10.Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Audia Intelligence, Inc. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, or damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your use of the Site or Services.

11.Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at our sole discretion, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or failed to pay applicable fees. Upon termination, you may request a copy of your data within 30 days, after which we may delete it.

12.Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of these sites, and linking does not imply endorsement. We encourage you to review their terms and privacy policies.

13.Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site or Services, are governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

14.Limitation on Time to File Claims

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site or Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises; otherwise, it is permanently barred.

15.Entire Agreement; Severability

These Terms (including the Data Processing Addendum below), together with our Privacy Policy and any agreement you enter into when you subscribe to a paid plan, are the entire agreement between you and Audia regarding the Site and Services and supersede all prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

16.Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We will notify you of material changes by email where practicable. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Data Processing Addendum

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of these Terms and governs our processing of Personal Information about your clients and staff that we handle on your behalf. If there is any conflict between this DPA and the rest of these Terms regarding such processing, this DPA controls.

1.Definitions

  • Personal Information means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual that we process on your behalf through the Services.
  • Privacy Laws means data-protection and privacy laws applicable to the processing, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (“CCPA”).
  • Controller, Processor, and Service Provider have the meanings given under applicable Privacy Laws.
  • Subprocessor means a third party we engage to process Personal Information in connection with the Services.

2.Roles of the Parties

As between the parties, you are the Controller of the Personal Information and Audia is your Processor and Service Provider. We process Personal Information only on your behalf, at your direction, and to provide the Services. You are responsible for the accuracy of, and for having a lawful basis and any required consents to provide and instruct us to process, the Personal Information.

3.Processing Instructions

We will process Personal Information only (a) to provide, secure, and improve the Services as described in these Terms, (b) in accordance with your lawful documented instructions, and (c) as required by law. If we believe an instruction violates applicable Privacy Laws, we will inform you. We will not retain, use, disclose, or otherwise process Personal Information for any purpose other than performing the Services, and we will not “sell” or “share” it (as those terms are defined under the CCPA).

4.Nature of the Data

The Personal Information we process on your behalf may include: client and staff names and contact details (phone numbers, email addresses); appointment and booking details; call metadata, recordings, and AI-generated transcripts; SMS content and consent records; staff scheduling information; and, where you enable POS, non-sensitive payment and transaction data (Stripe payment-intent, charge, and refund identifiers; amount and currency; card brand and last four digits; line-item descriptions; tip amounts; refund history; and dispute status). The data subjects are your clients and your staff (employees and contractors).

5.Confidentiality

We ensure that personnel authorized to process Personal Information are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations and access it only as needed to provide the Services.

6.Security

We implement and maintain technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction, appropriate to the risk. These include encryption of data in transit (SSL/TLS), access controls limiting access to authorized personnel, and use of secure, access-controlled infrastructure.

7.Subprocessors

You authorize us to engage Subprocessors to process Personal Information in connection with the Services. We require each Subprocessor to be bound by data-protection obligations substantially equivalent to those in this DPA, and we remain responsible for their performance. Our key Subprocessors include:

  • Twilio — telephony and SMS delivery (our telecom carrier).
  • Stripe — subscription billing and, where you enable POS, card-present payment processing via Stripe Connect and Stripe Terminal.
  • Cloud hosting and database infrastructure providers — to store and operate the Services.
  • AI voice and language-model providers — to answer calls and generate transcripts on your behalf.

A current list of Subprocessors is available on request at hello@audia.tel. We will give you a reasonable opportunity to object before a new Subprocessor begins processing Personal Information.

8.Security Incident Notification

We will notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of a Security Incident affecting your Personal Information, and will provide information reasonably available to us to help you meet any obligations to notify regulators or affected individuals under Privacy Laws.

9.Assistance with Individual Requests

You are responsible for responding to requests from individuals to exercise their rights under Privacy Laws (such as access, deletion, or correction). Taking into account the nature of the processing, we will provide reasonable assistance to help you respond, including by making available the relevant Personal Information within the Services.

10.CCPA Service-Provider Terms

We act as your Service Provider under the CCPA. We will not: (a) sell or share Personal Information; (b) retain, use, or disclose it outside the direct business relationship or for any purpose other than the Services specified in these Terms; or (c) combine it with personal information from other sources, except as permitted by the CCPA. We certify that we understand and will comply with these restrictions.

11.International Transfers

The Services are operated in the United States, and Personal Information is processed there. We do not target the Services at the EU/UK. If we process Personal Information subject to EU or UK data-protection law, the parties will enter into the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses, which are incorporated by reference where they apply.

12.Return or Deletion of Data

On termination or expiration of the Services, we will make Personal Information in our possession available to you for retrieval for at least 30 days, after which we will delete it, except to the extent we are required to retain it by law or it exists in routine backups that are deleted on our standard cycle.

13.Demonstrating Compliance

On reasonable written request, and no more than once per year (unless required by a regulator or following a Security Incident), we will provide information reasonably necessary to demonstrate our compliance with this DPA.
