The Service is designed for use by businesses, freelancers, consultants, and agencies. If you are a consumer using the Service for purely personal, non-commercial purposes, certain consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction may grant you additional rights that are not limited by these Terms.
4. Account Registration and Security
4.1 Account Creation
You must create an Account to use the Service. You agree to provide truthful, accurate, and complete information during registration, and to keep that information updated. You must provide a valid email address, which will serve as your primary means of communication with us.
4.2 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials, including your password and any API keys. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to: (a) notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your Account; (b) not share your Account credentials with any third party; and (c) use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication when available.
4.3 Account Restrictions
You may not: (a) create multiple Accounts for the same individual or entity without our prior written consent; (b) use another person's Account without authorization; (c) sell, transfer, or assign your Account to any third party; or (d) use automated means (bots, scrapers) to create Accounts.
5. Description of the Service
5.1 Core Functionality
Autobillr provides a cash flow intelligence platform that includes: (a) invoice creation, customization, and delivery; (b) payment tracking through connected Payment Gateways; (c) automated chase sequences for outstanding invoices; (d) AI-powered contract parsing and term extraction; (e) cash flow prediction and forecasting; (f) client behavioral profiling based on payment history; (g) invoice validation against contract terms; (h) multi-channel communication (email, SMS, WhatsApp) for payment follow-ups; and (i) analytics and reporting.
5.2 Intelligence Features — Important Limitations
The Intelligence Features use artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze your data and generate insights, predictions, and recommendations. You acknowledge and agree that:
(a) AI outputs are not guaranteed to be accurate. Contract parsing, cash flow predictions, client risk assessments, and other AI-generated outputs are probabilistic in nature and may contain errors. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all AI-generated outputs before relying on them.
(b) Contract Intelligence is not legal advice. The Contract Intelligence feature extracts billing-relevant terms from contracts but does not constitute legal analysis, legal advice, or a legal interpretation of your contracts. You should consult a qualified legal professional for legal matters.
(c) Cash flow predictions are estimates. Predictions about when payments will arrive are based on historical data and statistical models. Actual payment timing may differ materially from predictions.
(d) Chase messages are generated suggestions. While the Service generates chase messages tailored to each situation, you are responsible for reviewing messages before they are sent (when manual review is enabled) and for the content of all communications sent to your Clients on your behalf.
5.3 Chase Automation — Your Responsibilities
By enabling Chase Automation, you authorize the Service to send communications to your Clients on your behalf via email, SMS, and/or WhatsApp, as configured by you. You acknowledge and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for the accuracy of Client contact information you provide to the Service.
- You are responsible for ensuring that Chase Automation is enabled only for invoices that are legitimately outstanding and owed to you.
- You may disable Chase Automation at any time for any invoice or Client.
- Chase communications sent by the Service are sent on your behalf and using your business identity. You, not Autobillr, are the sender for all legal and regulatory purposes.
- You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws regarding commercial communications in the jurisdictions where your Clients are located.
- The Service is not a debt collection service. Chase Automation is designed for business-to-business and business-to-consumer invoice follow-up communications.
5.4 Payment Gateway Integration
The Service integrates with third-party Payment Gateways (Stripe, Flutterwave, Paystack, and others) to facilitate invoice payments. Your use of any Payment Gateway is governed by that gateway's own terms of service and privacy policy. Autobillr does not process, store, or have access to your Clients' full payment card details.
5.5 SMS and WhatsApp Communications
The Service sends SMS messages through Africa's Talking (for African markets) and Twilio (for global markets), and WhatsApp messages through the Twilio WhatsApp Business API. You acknowledge that SMS and WhatsApp delivery is subject to mobile carrier availability, network conditions, and the recipient's device status, and message delivery is not guaranteed.
6. Your Content
6.1 Ownership
You retain all ownership rights in and to your Content. Autobillr does not claim ownership of any Content you upload or submit through the Service, including your invoices, contracts, client information, payment records, and business data.
6.2 License Grant
By uploading or submitting Content to the Service, you grant NeoForge Labs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (only to our service providers and subprocessors as necessary to provide the Service) license to use, reproduce, store, process, and display your Content solely for the purposes of providing the Service, generating Intelligence Features outputs, sending communications on your behalf, complying with legal obligations, and creating anonymized, aggregated datasets. This license terminates when you delete your Content or when your Account is terminated.
6.3 Anonymized and Aggregated Data
You agree that we may create anonymized, de-identified, and aggregated data derived from your use of the Service. Aggregated Data will not identify you, your business, or your Clients. We may use Aggregated Data for any lawful purpose, including improving the Service and generating industry benchmarks. Our right to use Aggregated Data survives termination of your Account.
6.4 Content Restrictions
You agree not to upload, submit, or transmit any Content that: (a) you do not have the right to share; (b) contains malicious code; (c) is fraudulent or deceptive; (d) violates any applicable law; or (e) contains sensitive personal data beyond what is reasonably necessary for invoicing purposes.
6.5 Data Portability and Backup
You may export your data at any time through the Service's data export functionality or via the API. Exported data will be provided in standard machine-readable formats (CSV, JSON). You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups of your Content.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; that AI-generated outputs will be accurate, complete, or reliable; that Chase Automation will result in payment collection; or that communications will be delivered. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, NeoForge Labs shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event; or (b) one hundred US dollars (US$100).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NeoForge Labs, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims arising out of your use of the Service, your Content, your violation of these Terms, communications sent to your Clients through the Service, or your infringement of any third party's rights.
