Terms of Use

Beyond the Edge Lead Engine · Version 2026-08-04.v2-beta

1. Agreement and acceptance

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between Sebastien Vautier (professionally known as Sebastien Ricci), a sole proprietor trading as Beyond the Edge Studio, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA ("Beyond the Edge", "we", "us"), and the organization on whose behalf you create an account (the "Customer", "you"). By creating an account, clicking to accept, or using the Beyond the Edge Lead Engine (the "Service"), you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy at /legal/privacy, and you represent that you have authority to bind your organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Your acceptance, the version accepted, a timestamp, and the network address it was accepted from are recorded with your account.

2. Business use only

The Service is offered to businesses and professionals. By using it you represent that you are at least 18 years old, that you are using the Service for business purposes and not as a consumer for personal, family, or household use, and that you have authority to bind the organization you are accepting for. Section 20 sets out the limited consumer protections that apply anyway where local law makes them mandatory.

3. The Service and beta status

The Service is a business-to-business outreach platform: it helps your organization find business leads, review their web presence, draft and send outreach email through your own connected inboxes, manage replies and pipeline, build web pages, and, where enabled, send contracts to and collect payments from your own clients. THE SERVICE IS CURRENTLY OFFERED AS A BETA: features may be added, changed, or removed, availability is not guaranteed, and no service-level commitment applies during the beta period. We will not weaken the compliance safeguards described in Section 9 during the beta.

4. Eligibility and accounts

Each account belongs to one named human being; shared logins are prohibited and the number of users is a plan limit. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping credentials confidential, for enabling the protections the Service offers (such as two-factor authentication and the workspace passcode), and for everything done under your logins. Notify us promptly at sebastien@beyondtheedgestudio.com if you believe an account has been compromised. Your administrator can add, change the role of, and remove users at any time.

5. Plans and fees

The Service is offered on the paid subscription plans described at /pricing (the "Pricing Page"), which is incorporated into these Terms as of the date you subscribe. Each plan states its limits, including connected inboxes, monthly send volume, monthly lead pulls, drafts written for you, and users. There is no free plan. BILLING IS NOT YET ENABLED: no payment method can be charged through the Service at the date of this version, and workspaces created during the beta operate on a limited beta allocation. We will not begin charging any workspace without first enabling checkout and obtaining your affirmative agreement to the plan and price at that time.

6. Automatic renewal, cancellation, and refunds

When billing is enabled, paid subscriptions RENEW AUTOMATICALLY. A monthly plan renews each month on your billing date, and your payment method on file is charged at the start of each renewal period at the then-current rate for your plan, until you cancel. YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME from Settings, Billing, through the payment processor's customer portal; CANCELLATION TAKES EFFECT AT THE END OF THE PERIOD YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR, and you keep access until then. Cancelling downgrades your limits; it never deletes your data. Except where the law requires otherwise, fees already paid are non-refundable; cancellation stops future charges rather than refunding past ones. Where a refund is required by applicable law, including consumer laws of your country of residence that cannot be excluded, we will honor it. We do not offer trials that convert silently into a commitment: if we ever offer a trial, its end date, what happens at the end, and how to stop it will be stated when it is granted, and cancelling during a trial will end the arrangement without a charge.

7. Payment, price changes, taxes, and disputes

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We never see or store your full card number. You authorize us, through Stripe, to charge your payment method for subscription fees and applicable taxes. If a renewal charge fails we will notify you and retry; if payment cannot be collected after the retry period we may downgrade or suspend paid features, and we will not delete your data for non-payment. We may change plan prices with at least 30 days' notice by email, applying from your next renewal after the notice period; if you do not agree, cancel before that renewal. Fees are exclusive of taxes, and where we are required to collect sales tax, VAT, or similar it is added at checkout or on the invoice. If you initiate a card dispute for a recurring charge instead of contacting us first, we may cancel your subscription immediately without proration; this does not limit any right you have to dispute a charge you genuinely believe is unauthorized.

8. Plan limits and fair use

Limits are enforced by the Service. Reaching one pauses the limited feature and offers an upgrade; you are never billed an overage and the Service never quietly exceeds a limit and invoices you for it. Replies to live conversations and test sends to your own address do not count against send volume and are never paused, because a reply to an engaged conversation is not cold outreach. You agree not to circumvent limits, including by creating multiple organizations to evade them. Plan limits only ever restrict application features: they can never raise the per-inbox sending cap, shorten the interval between sends, or weaken any safeguard in Section 9.

9. Email outreach, compliance, and the sender of record

Every message composed, approved, or sent through the Service is sent by you, from your own connected inboxes, under your name and your organization's name. YOU ARE THE SENDER OF RECORD FOR EVERY MESSAGE and bear the responsibility that comes with that, including compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act and every other law applicable to your outreach. The Service enforces safeguards that operators cannot disable: a working one-click unsubscribe mechanism and List-Unsubscribe headers on every outreach message, a legal footer rendered by the server and not editable in the message body, permanent organization-wide suppression of every address that opts out or hard bounces, a hard cap of 40 messages per connected inbox per rolling 24 hours, a randomized interval between sends, automatic slowing and pausing of an inbox whose complaint rate rises, and human approval before anything sends. ONE PART OF THAT FOOTER IS YOURS TO SUPPLY: the postal address it prints is the one in your organization settings, and if you have not entered one the footer will say so instead of showing an address. CAN-SPAM requires a valid physical postal address in commercial email, so you must enter yours before you send. The Service does not currently block a send when it is missing, and it is your responsibility, not ours, to have set it. Attempting to defeat any of these safeguards is a material breach. Scale by adding inboxes, never by raising a cap.

10. Acceptable use

You may use the Service only for lawful business-to-business outreach and related workflows for your own organization. You must not: (a) contact private individuals, or send unlawful, deceptive, harassing, or misleading messages; (b) send outreach to recipients outside the United States; (c) remove, hide, or tamper with unsubscribe mechanisms, sender identification, or the postal address in messages; (d) bypass, probe, or attempt to defeat sending caps, rate limits, tenant isolation, or any other technical safeguard; (e) upload malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, or interfere with the Service or other customers; (f) resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties, or use it on behalf of any organization other than your own; (g) use data obtained through the Service in violation of law or of the terms of the data sources you connect; or (h) scan, scrape, reverse engineer, benchmark, or use the Service to build a competing product. The restriction in (b) is deliberate: outreach into jurisdictions with prior-consent regimes carries obligations the Service does not attempt to satisfy on your behalf.

11. Your data and our license

As between you and us, you own the data your organization brings to or creates in the Service, including your contacts, messages, notes, templates, generated pages, and contracts ("Customer Data"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and display Customer Data solely to provide and support the Service, comply with law, and keep the Service safe. We do not sell Customer Data, we do not use it to advertise to anyone, and we do not use it to train general-purpose models. Each organization's data is logically isolated from every other organization's at the data-access layer. Data handling is described in the Privacy Policy, and where you are subject to data protection law, the Data Processing Agreement at /legal/dpa forms part of these Terms.

12. Responsibility for gathered lead data

The Service can retrieve publicly available business information through a connected data source and through live web research. You are responsible for your use of gathered data, for honoring removal and opt-out requests you receive, and for complying with the laws that apply to your storage and use of business contact information. You will not use gathered data for any purpose other than lawful business-to-business outreach and relationship management. Gathered data may be incomplete or wrong; it is provided for your review, not as fact.

13. Drafts, generated pages, and human review

The Service can produce suggested email drafts, suggested replies, and draft web pages from the data you provide. Depending on your configuration these run either on a provider key you connect yourself, or on a shared platform key we provide as part of your plan and meter against your plan's allowance. All generated material is a suggestion that requires your review and approval; nothing sends or publishes without a human decision by your team. Generated material may state only facts actually stored about the business it describes, a restriction enforced in the system prompt and one we will not weaken. You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of everything you approve, send, or publish. We do not warrant that generated output is accurate, original, or fit for a particular purpose.

14. Third-party services and your own accounts

Parts of the Service operate through accounts and keys that belong to you: your email inboxes (Google, Microsoft, or SMTP), a drafting or research provider key where you choose to connect your own, your lead data source key, your Stripe account where you charge your own clients, and your telephony account where you enable calling. When you connect a third-party account you confirm you are authorized to connect it, you accept that third party's terms, and you understand that the third party's availability and conduct are outside our control. We access connected accounts only to provide the Service's features, and credentials you store with us are encrypted at rest. The current list of providers we use to operate the Service is published at /legal/subprocessors.

15. Client contracts and payments

Where you use the Service to send contracts to your own clients and collect payments from them: the contract is between you and your client, we are not a party to it, and nothing in the Service is legal advice. You are responsible for the content and enforceability of your own client agreements and for your compliance with the laws governing them, including electronic signature law. Electronic signatures are executed through a dedicated e-signature provider that maintains the signature record and audit trail, which is the legal record. Client payments are processed on your own connected Stripe account: you are the merchant of record for your clients, and refunds, disputes, and chargebacks with your clients are yours to handle. These features are dormant until the corresponding providers are configured.

16. Our intellectual property; DMCA

We and our licensors own the Service, including its software, design, templates, prompts, and everything else that is not Customer Data. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service during your subscription for your internal business purposes. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the Service except where the law permits it despite this clause. Feedback you choose to give us may be used without obligation to you. If you believe material processed through the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. section 512(c)(3) to sebastien@beyondtheedgestudio.com with the subject "DMCA". We respond to valid notices, including by removing material and terminating repeat infringers' access where appropriate.

17. Confidentiality and portability

Each party may learn non-public information of the other through this relationship. Each party will protect the other's non-public information with reasonable care, use it only as needed to perform under these Terms, and not disclose it except to personnel and providers under confidentiality duties, or where disclosure is required by law with reasonable notice where lawful. Your contact lists and conversation data are yours, and we will not use them for any purpose other than operating your workspace. The Service does not yet include a self-service export; until it does we will provide an export of your data on written request, without charge, and we will not treat a request to leave as a reason to delay one.

18. Suspension

We may suspend some or all access, rather than terminate, where reasonably necessary to address a security risk, protect deliverability, respond to a suspected violation of Sections 9 or 10, comply with law, or where payment has failed and retries are running. Where practicable we will notify you and work with you to restore access quickly. Suspension does not extend any paid period.

19. Term, termination, and your data afterwards

These Terms apply from your first use of the Service and continue until terminated. You may stop using the Service and delete your organization at any time; deletion is available in-app to your administrator, requires typing the organization name to confirm, and permanently removes your organization's data from live systems. We may terminate for material breach uncured within 15 days of notice, or immediately for violations of Sections 9 or 10 that create legal or deliverability risk, or on 30 days' notice if we discontinue the Service, in which case we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid period. For 30 days after termination other than deletion by you, we will make your Customer Data available for export on request. Sections that by their nature survive termination do survive it, including responsibility for messages already sent, fees owed, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnity.

20. International and consumer terms

We sell worldwide from the United States. You are responsible for the local requirements that apply to your own messaging. EEA and UK: if, despite Section 2, you use the Service as a consumer in the EEA or UK, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from a paid subscription; you expressly request that we begin performance immediately, and once you begin using paid features you acknowledge the withdrawal right is lost for the portion of the period already performed. If you withdraw within 14 days without having used paid features, we refund the payment. Australia: our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, and where liability can be limited it is limited to re-supply of the services or the cost of re-supply. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that your national law does not allow to be limited, and mandatory local forum rights prevail over Section 22 for you. These Terms are drafted in English and the English text prevails over any translation. Les parties confirment leur volonte expresse que cette convention soit redigee en anglais.

21. Disclaimers, liability, and indemnity

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE OPERATION, OR ANY PARTICULAR DELIVERY RATE, REPLY RATE, OR BUSINESS OUTCOME. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA; AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR US $100 IF NONE. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, YOUR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS, FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW. You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from messages, calls, pages, or contracts you send, publish, or enter into through the Service; your Customer Data or your use of gathered data; your violation of law or of Sections 9, 10, or 15; or disputes between you and your clients or recipients. We will notify you promptly of a claim and cooperate reasonably at your expense.

22. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, USA, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties will first try in good faith to resolve any dispute informally by written notice. The exclusive venue for disputes is the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and each party consents to their jurisdiction, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and we may seek injunctive relief for misuse of the Service or infringement in any court of competent jurisdiction. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose law gives you mandatory rights or a mandatory forum, nothing in this section takes those away. Any claim under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year of the date it accrued, to the extent permitted by law.

23. High-risk use, export, publicity, and force majeure

The Service is a business outreach tool. It is not designed for emergency communications, medical, legal, or financial advice delivery, or any use where a failed or delayed message could cause death, personal injury, or severe damage, and you agree not to use it for such purposes. You may not use the Service in violation of U.S. export-control or sanctions laws, and you represent that you are not located in an embargoed jurisdiction or on a restricted-party list. We may identify you by name and logo in a factual list of customers unless you opt out by emailing us; any richer case study requires your prior consent. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including provider outages, war, or acts of government, except your payment obligations for service already delivered.

24. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may improve and change the Service over time. When these Terms materially change, the version identifier changes with them and you will be asked to read and accept the new version before continuing to use the Service; the durable acceptance record described in Section 1 is kept for each version you accept. We will give at least 14 days' notice of material changes by email or in-app where practicable. If you do not accept a new version, you may stop using the Service and Section 19 applies.

25. General

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Data Processing Agreement at /legal/dpa where it applies, and your plan's commercial terms are the entire agreement about the Service and supersede prior discussions. If they conflict, a signed written agreement prevails, then the Data Processing Agreement for processing matters, then these Terms. There are no third-party beneficiaries. You may not assign these Terms without our consent except to a successor of substantially all your business; we may assign to a successor of the business. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Notices to you may be given by email to your account's administrator address; notices to us go to the contact below.
