Terms of Service
Effective date: January 27, 2026 · Last updated: October 6, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Customer," "you," or "your") and VoiceCharm LLC ("VoiceCharm," "we," "our," or "us"). By creating an account or using our AI receptionist platform (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Service Description
VoiceCharm provides an AI-powered virtual receptionist that answers phone calls on behalf of your business. The Service includes:
- A dedicated local phone number for your business
- 24/7 AI call answering customized to your business
- Call transcripts, summaries, and analytics
- Appointment booking and calendar integration
- Urgent call forwarding to your personal number
- Customer portal for managing settings and viewing call history
Service features and capabilities may be updated, modified, or expanded at our discretion. We will notify you of material changes.
3. Account Registration
To use the Service, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old and have the authority to bind your business to these Terms.
4. Fees & Payment
4.1 Pay per minute
- No monthly fee. You pay 50¢ per minute of call time, billed by the second.
- First minutes free: the first 30 minutes of billable call time on your account are not charged. This allowance applies once per account and does not renew each month.
- Calls not charged: calls shorter than 20 seconds, and calls from your own phone numbers and the personal numbers you list. Every other call the Service answers is charged, whether or not your call forwarding is set up.
- No monthly maximum. Charges are not capped; a month costs what its call time costs.
- Call length: the Service ends any call at 10 minutes and hangs up after a period of silence.
- Budget alert: you may set a monthly amount in your account. When your charges for the month pass it, we email you. The alert is a notification only: it does not stop, pause or limit the Service, and calls after it are charged as usual.
- No setup fees or long-term contracts
Accounts that subscribed to the $99 per month plan (500 minutes included, additional minutes at $0.40 per minute) before October 5, 2026 stay on that plan until they cancel or move to pay per minute.
4.2 Billing
All payments are processed securely through Stripe. A valid payment method is required to open an account; nothing is charged when you add it. Call-time charges for a billing month are invoiced in arrears, once, at the end of that month, and you authorize us to charge your payment method on file for them. If you close your account, charges for call time since your last invoice are invoiced then.
4.3 Taxes
Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for applicable sales tax, VAT, or other taxes imposed by your jurisdiction.
5. No Trial Period
There is no time-limited trial. In its place, the first 30 minutes of call time on your account are free, as described in section 4.1, and they do not expire.
6. Cancellation & Refunds
6.1 Cancellation
You may close your account at any time from your customer portal or by contacting us at hello@voicecharm.ai. Your line stops answering when the cancellation takes effect, and call time up to that point is invoiced as described in section 4.2.
6.2 Money-Back Guarantee
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for new customers. If you are not satisfied within 30 days of your first payment, contact us for a full refund. This guarantee applies once per customer.
6.3 Refund Policy
Beyond the 30-day guarantee, no refunds are issued for partial months, unused minutes, or early cancellation. Call-time and overage charges are non-refundable once incurred.
7. Phone Number Ownership
VoiceCharm provisions a dedicated phone number for your account. This number is owned by VoiceCharm and licensed to you for the duration of your active subscription. Upon cancellation, you may request to port your number to another provider, subject to standard porting procedures and a $25 administrative fee. If no port request is made within 30 days of cancellation, the number may be recycled.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Conduct illegal activities or violate any applicable law
- Make unsolicited marketing or spam calls
- Harass, threaten, or abuse callers or any third party
- Transmit malicious code or attempt to compromise system security
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our source code
- Resell or sublicense the Service without our written consent
- Violate telecommunications regulations, including TCPA, FCC rules, or equivalent
- Use the Service in a manner that could damage our reputation or brand
Violation of these terms may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without refund.
9. Call Recordings & Data
Calls handled by VoiceCharm may be recorded and transcribed. You are responsible for complying with all applicable call recording and consent laws in your jurisdiction (including two-party consent states). VoiceCharm provides configurable consent disclosures, but you must ensure compliance with local regulations.
You retain ownership of your business data and call content. We retain a license to use anonymized and aggregated data to improve our Service.
10. Third-Party Integrations
The Service may integrate with third-party platforms (Google Calendar, Stripe, etc.). Your use of these integrations is subject to the respective third party's terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party service interruptions or changes.
11. Service Availability
We work to keep the Service highly available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and do not offer a formal uptime SLA. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance when possible. We are not liable for downtime caused by:
- Third-party provider outages (telephony, cloud infrastructure)
- Force majeure events (natural disasters, government actions)
- Your equipment, network, or internet connection
- Scheduled maintenance windows
12. Intellectual Property
All VoiceCharm software, AI models, branding, website content, and technology are our exclusive property or licensed to us. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Service during your active subscription.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VOICECHARM'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VoiceCharm, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE AI RECEPTIONIST WILL HANDLE ALL CALLS PERFECTLY OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE.
16. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising from these Terms shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS in San Francisco, California. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
17. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles.
18. Modifications
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on our website at least 15 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
19. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
20. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order forms, constitute the entire agreement between you and VoiceCharm regarding the Service.
