CalmLayer processes lead data solely on your behalf and at your direction.

5.Subscription & Billing
Plans: CalmLayer access may be offered through a subscription or a bounded paid pilot. Any applicable price, term, scope, and billing cycle will be presented before you pay.
First look: Asking us to look at missed replies does not create a subscription. Any paid 30-day test begins only after separate agreement.
Billing Cycle: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each monthly billing period unless canceled before the renewal date. You will be charged on the renewal date for the next billing period.
Payment Methods: We accept major credit cards and other payment methods as displayed during checkout. You authorize us to charge your payment method for all fees, including subscription charges and applicable taxes.
Price Changes: We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes will apply to your next billing cycle after the notice period. You can cancel before the price change takes effect to avoid the increase.
Failed Payments: If payment fails, we will attempt to process it again. After multiple failed attempts, your account may be suspended. You remain responsible for all charges during the suspension period.
Taxes: All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with your use of the Service.
6.Cancellation & Refunds
How to Cancel: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting support. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
No Partial Refunds: We do not provide refunds or credits for partial months or years. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access until the end of your paid period.
Exceptions: Refunds may be provided at our sole discretion in cases of billing errors, technical issues that prevent Service access for extended periods, or other exceptional circumstances.
After Cancellation: Canceling your subscription does not delete your data. To request a data export or deletion, contact support. We will confirm the scope, timing, any information we must retain, and when deletion is complete.
7.Integrations & Third-Party Services
Authorization Required: All integrations with CRMs, email providers, and other third-party services must be authorized by the account owner. You are responsible for ensuring you have proper authorization to connect these services.
Third-Party Terms: Use of integrated services is subject to their respective terms of service. We are not responsible for third-party service availability, compliance, or data handling practices.
Data Access: By enabling integrations, you grant CalmLayer permission to access and process data from connected services as necessary to provide our Service. We will only access data you explicitly authorize.
