Last updated: March 25, 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and ColdSmoke AI ("we", "us", "our") governing your access to and use of the ColdSmoke AI website, services, and AI automation systems (collectively, the "Services").

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to accept these Terms on behalf of yourself or the business you represent. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.


2 Accounts & Security

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information when engaging with us. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials or access granted in connection with your services engagement, and for notifying us immediately of any unauthorised access. You are responsible for all activity conducted under your account or engagement.


3 Third-Party Integrations

As part of the Cold Smoke Engine™, we may connect and configure third-party platforms on your behalf, including but not limited to CRM systems, voice AI providers, workflow automation tools, and advertising platforms.

You represent and warrant that you:

  • Are the authorised owner of, or have been granted sufficient access to, every platform, account or business asset you ask us to connect or operate;
  • Have authority to grant ColdSmoke AI the permissions required to perform the agreed services;
  • Will not request that ColdSmoke AI perform any action that violates applicable platform policies, advertising laws or third-party rights.

We act as a service provider operating within the scope of your instruction. You remain responsible for your own accounts and compliance with the terms of any third-party platform.


4 Licence & Intellectual Property

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use any deliverables we produce for you solely for your internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms.

All intellectual property in our proprietary methodologies, systems, tools, software, and the Cold Smoke Engine™ framework remains exclusively ours or our licensors'. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any ColdSmoke AI intellectual property to you.

Custom deliverables created specifically for your business (e.g., ad copy, workflow configurations, chatbot scripts) are licensed to you for your use upon full payment of applicable fees.


5 User Content & Sub-processors

You retain ownership of content, data and materials you provide to us. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, host, display and process such content solely to provide the Services.

7 Fees & Payment

Service fees are set forth in your signed engagement agreement or proposal. Unless otherwise stated, fees are billed in advance and are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly stated in writing.

Late or failed payments may result in suspension of active services. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
