Terms of Service

Effective: June 15, 2026

By accessing syncivateai.com or engaging SYNCivate services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use this site or our services.

1. About SYNCivate

SYNCivate is a Charlotte, NC-based AI automation agency that builds and deploys conversational AI systems, SMS automation, voice AI agents, and business workflow automation for service-based businesses. SYNCivate is operated by Halah Kablan Ladson.

These Terms of Service govern your use of syncivateai.com and all services provided by SYNCivate. They apply to all website visitors, audit purchasers, and clients under an executed Statement of Work. See Section 14 for the scope of Terms that apply to website visitors versus clients.

Questions about these Terms should be directed to Info@SYNCivateAI.com.

2. Services

SYNCivate offers the following services. Specific deliverables, timelines, and pricing for each are defined in the executed Statement of Work and incorporated Client Policies document. A Statement of Work (SOW) is a written agreement executed via DocuSign by both SYNCivate and the client prior to any build commencing. It defines the specific services, deliverables, pricing, and timeline for the engagement. The SOW incorporates these Terms, the Refund & Cancellation Policy, the Client Expectations Policy, and the Privacy Policy by reference.

Service Description

All pricing shown is “starting at.” Exact investment is confirmed in writing on the strategy call before any build begins. No work commences until the SOW is fully executed and payment has cleared.

3. SMS Communications and A2P Compliance

3.1 A2P 10DLC Registration

SYNCivate operates under Standard A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration with The Campaign Registry (TCR), registered January 6, 2026. All SMS communications are compliant with TCPA requirements and carrier guidelines.

3.2 Required SMS Disclosures

  • Message frequency varies based on your interaction and the automation configuration.
  • Message and data rates may apply.
  • Reply STOP to unsubscribe from any automated message thread. You will receive one final confirmation and no further messages.
  • Reply HELP for assistance. You will receive contact information in response.
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
  • For Privacy Policy: syncivateai.com/privacy

3.3 Opt-In and Opt-Out

SYNCivate obtains express written consent before sending any marketing or automated SMS messages. Consent is collected through web forms, audit submissions, or documented client agreement. Consent is never purchased, rented, or assumed. Opt-out requests are honored immediately and automatically. No further marketing messages are sent to any number that has replied STOP.

3.4 Non-Sharing Clause

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent — this information will not be shared with any third parties.

3.5 Client SMS Compliance Obligations

Clients who engage SYNCivate AI for SMS automation are solely responsible for the compliance of their own contact databases. SYNCivate AI builds and operates the delivery system — the client is responsible for maintaining documented opt-in consent for every contact in their database.

Cold texting — sending SMS to any contact who has not explicitly opted in — violates TCR guidelines, carrier guidelines, TCPA, and platform messaging policy. It is grounds for immediate campaign revocation, carrier suspension, and immediate termination of the SYNCivate AI engagement per the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Clients must maintain an opt-out rate below 3% across all SMS campaigns at all times. Exceeding the 3% threshold triggers automatic carrier suspension of messaging for a minimum of 24 hours. SYNCivate AI is not liable for message delivery failures or business disruption resulting from client-triggered opt-out rate violations.

4. Payment Terms

All payment terms, late fee schedules, collections escalation, and chargeback policy are governed by the SYNCivate Refund & Cancellation Policy, available at syncivateai.com/refund-cancellation, incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Summary of key payment terms:

  • All setup fees are 100% due at signing before kickoff begins. No payment plans. No net terms.
  • Monthly recurring fees (MRR) are auto-charged on the 1st of each month beginning the 1st of the month following confirmed go-live.
  • The $197 SYNC-Point Audit fee is non-refundable once results are delivered. It is credited in full toward any package signed within 30 days of audit submission.
  • Accepted payment methods: credit/debit card (MRR auto-charge), ACH/bank transfer (setup fees only). No checks. USD only.
  • All billing disputes must be submitted in writing to Billing@SYNCivateAI.com within 30 days of the charge date before any chargeback is initiated. Initiating a chargeback without prior written notice is a breach of these Terms.

5. Electronic Agreements

All SYNCivate client engagements are executed via DocuSign electronic signature. By signing a Statement of Work through DocuSign, you agree that:

  • Your electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.).
  • You have the legal authority to enter into binding agreements on behalf of the business entity named in the SOW.
  • You have read, understand, and agree to the SOW, these Terms of Service, the Refund & Cancellation Policy, and the Client Expectations Policy, all of which are incorporated by reference into the executed SOW.
  • Electronic records and signatures satisfy any requirement that agreements be in writing.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 What You Own

  • Your contact records, conversation history, and lead data processed through SYNCivate-built systems.
  • SMS templates, email sequences, and scripts written specifically for your engagement — transferred to you upon payment in full.
  • Your brand assets provided to SYNCivate AI for use in building your system.

6.2 What SYNCivate Retains

  • All underlying workflow logic, prompt engineering frameworks, and automation architecture.
  • The proprietary SYNC-Flow methodology and template library.
  • The Lexi voice agent persona, scripts, and configuration frameworks.
  • The right to use anonymized, non-identifying build patterns for internal improvement and case studies.

6.3 License

Upon payment in full and under active MRR, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use SYNCivate’s underlying workflow logic for the duration of your active subscription. This license terminates upon MRR cancellation. You retain your data and copy. You lose access to the underlying system architecture. You may not reverse-engineer, resell, sublicense, or replicate SYNCivate’s workflow architecture or prompt frameworks for use outside your own business without written permission from SYNCivate.

Upon cancellation, clients may request transfer of deliverables owned per Section 6.1 by submitting a written request to Support@SYNCivateAI.com within 30 days of the cancellation effective date. Delivery of owned assets is governed by the data export terms in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

6.4 Website Content

All content on syncivateai.com — including text, graphics, logos, case study data, and copy — is the property of SYNCivate and protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any site content without express written permission.

7. AI Behavior and Accuracy Disclaimer

SYNCivate builds, tests, and deploys AI systems designed for precision and accuracy within the scope defined in each client’s SOW. However:

  • No AI system is infallible. AI-generated responses may be inaccurate, unexpected, or inconsistent with client intent despite proper configuration.
  • SYNCivate is not liable for AI-generated responses that are inaccurate or unexpected, provided the system was built and tested to the specification in the executed SOW.
  • Clients are responsible for monitoring live AI interactions with their own customers on an ongoing basis and reporting unexpected responses within 48 hours of discovery.
  • Clients are responsible for disclosing to their own customers that they may be communicating with an AI system, including compliance with state-specific AI disclosure laws such as California CPPA automated decision-making regulations (effective January 1, 2026) and Illinois HB 3773.
  • Clients are responsible for the accuracy of all information provided to SYNCivate for inclusion in the AI knowledge base. Voice AI systems including Lexi may record calls for quality assurance and performance monitoring. Clients are responsible for ensuring their voice AI system provides a call recording disclosure at the start of each call in compliance with applicable state wiretapping laws. California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Washington require all-party consent for call recording. SYNCivate is not liable for wiretapping or call recording violations arising from client failure to enable or maintain required recording disclosures.

8. Data Privacy and Security

SYNCivate’s collection and use of personal data is governed by the SYNCivate Privacy Policy, available at syncivateai.com/privacy, incorporated by reference into these Terms.

  • Client data is not shared with other SYNCivate clients or used for purposes outside the client’s engagement.
  • Third-party processors used in delivering SYNCivate services include: GoHighLevel (GHL), Twilio, Stripe, RingCentral, OpenAI, n8n, and Hostinger. Client data passes through these processors as part of normal system operation.
  • Clients are responsible for their own compliance with TCPA, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA (where applicable), and all other applicable data privacy laws governing their customer relationships.
  • SYNCivate uses role-based access controls and is not liable for data breaches resulting from client-side security failures.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • SYNCivate’s total liability to any client for any claim arising from or related to these Terms or any SYNCivate service shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client to SYNCivate in the three-month period immediately preceding the claim.
  • SYNCivate is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, or business interruption, even if SYNCivate has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • SYNCivate is not liable for delays, failures, or service interruptions caused by third-party platform changes, carrier delays, A2P registration timelines, force majeure events, or client non-performance.
  • SYNCivate is not liable for the actions or content of AI systems that have been modified by the client after go-live without SYNCivate involvement.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SYNCivate, its owner, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses — including reasonable attorney fees — arising out of or related to: your violation of these Terms; your use of SYNCivate services in violation of applicable law; your failure to obtain or maintain required opt-in consent for SMS contacts; A2P violations, TCPA claims, or regulatory actions arising from your contact database or your direction of SYNCivate-built systems; AI disclosure failures to your own customers; any claim by a third party arising from content or data you provided to SYNCivate; and any third-party claim arising from AI-generated content produced by a SYNCivate-built system operating in your business, including claims of defamation, misrepresentation, discrimination, or consumer harm, provided the system was built and delivered to the specification in your executed SOW.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and all SYNCivate engagements are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Before initiating any legal action, the party must:

  • Submit a written dispute notice to Billing@SYNCivateAI.com with the subject line: Billing Dispute — [Your Business Name]. State the specific issue, the date it occurred, and the resolution requested.
  • Allow 30 days for the parties to attempt good-faith resolution via written communication.
  • If unresolved, either party may pursue resolution in Mecklenburg County Superior Court, Charlotte, NC.

You waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any dispute arising under these Terms. You also waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against SYNCivate.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

SYNCivate services are provided “as is” and “as available.” SYNCivate makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. SYNCivate does not warrant that its services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. SYNCivate does not warrant that any specific business outcome — including lead conversion rates, call answer rates, or revenue results — will be achieved through use of its services.

The SYNC-Success Guarantee (10 hours automated in 30 days or SYNCivate continues building) is a service commitment, not a warranty of specific business results. It is subject to the conditions defined in the Refund & Cancellation Policy and the Client Expectations Policy. Automation hours are measured via GHL workflow execution logs and RingCentral call deflection records as defined in the Client Expectations Policy at syncivateai.com/client-expectations.

13. Changes to These Terms

SYNCivate reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Active clients will receive 30 days written notice of material changes to billing, liability, or service terms via email to the address on file in their executed SOW. Continued use of syncivateai.com or SYNCivate services after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The current version of these Terms is always available at syncivateai.com/terms. The effective date at the top of this document indicates the most recent revision.

14. Miscellaneous

  • Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

  • Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without written consent from SYNCivate. SYNCivate may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Force Majeure: SYNCivate is not liable for delays or failures caused by events outside its reasonable control, including platform outages, carrier failures, natural disasters, or government actions.
  • Language: The governing language of these Terms and all SYNCivate agreements is English. Spanish-language service and communications are available as a courtesy. In the event of any conflict between English and Spanish materials, the English version governs.
