Please take the time to read these terms carefully, as they govern your legal relationship with us.
You are hereby granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Platform to provide personalized review responses to your customer reviews. This license is subject to the restrictions outlined in these Terms of Service and does not grant you any ownership rights to the Platform or its components. You may not sublicense, distribute, transfer, reproduce, distribute, or modify the Platform, or any part thereof, without the explicit written consent of ResponseScribe. We may terminate or restrict your use of our Platform if you violate these Terms of Service or are engaged in illegal or fraudulent use of the Platform. It is important to note that ResponseScribe does not monitor review site policies and disclaims any obligation to do so. Consequently, you are solely responsible for complying with any such review site policies. Please understand that ResponseScribe does not provide any warranties or representations concerning review site policies.
You authorize ResponseScribe to integrate its Platform with third-party review sites, including but not limited to Google and Facebook. This authorization grants ResponseScribe the right to utilize its API (Application Programming Interface) and other tools to post responses to customer reviews on these third-party review sites. If you choose, you can retain the ultimate discretion to approve, modify, or reject any proposed response before it is posted. You acknowledge that in order to use this integration, you may need to grant necessary permissions and authorizations to the third-party review sites. ResponseScribe shall take reasonable measures to secure the data accessed through the API integration. However, you acknowledge that the security of third-party review sites is outside ResponseScribe’s control and may be subject to the terms and conditions of those sites.
By using the Platform, you expressly consent to receiving emails and text messages containing proposed responses to customer reviews, as well as account-related information. These communications may be sent to the email address or phone number indicated in your account. The choice to receive such communication via email, text message, or both, is entirely at your discretion and can be managed through your account settings. These communications aim to assist you in promptly addressing customer reviews and enhancing your engagement, as well as keeping you informed about account matters. You understand that standard messaging rates may apply if you choose to receive text messages, and you acknowledge that you are responsible for any such charges incurred. Should you wish to modify your communication preferences, you may do so at any time through the settings available within the Platform.
You agree not to employ the Platform for any illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise unlawful purposes. Your use of the Platform must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. You further agree not to employ the Platform in any manner that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, including copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret rights.

As part of the services provided by the Platform, we may offer you valuable business insights based on the reviews you’ve received. These insights aim to provide you with a deeper understanding of customer sentiment and trends related to your reviews and review responses. It’s important to clarify that our focus is on providing insights that contribute to the enhancement of your customer interactions and reputation management. While we analyze review content to derive these insights, ResponseScribe does not store or provide you with demographics or personal information of individual reviewers.
You agree to take all reasonable steps to protect the security and privacy of the device on which the Platform is installed, including using strong passwords, keeping the device software up to date, and using security software, to prevent use of the Platform by any unauthorized party. It is important to note that, as part of our commitment to security, ResponseScribe employs encryption technology to safeguard any passwords stored within the Platform. This encryption adds an additional layer of protection to sensitive information. However, despite these measures, you acknowledge that no data transmission or storage can be entirely secure, and ResponseScribe disclaims liability for any breaches or unauthorized access to data that might occur.
