Terms of Service

Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the AI Tools Assessment and your use of LocalLayer's website (www.locallayer.ai). LocalLayer LLC ("LocalLayer," "we," "us") is a New Jersey limited liability company operated by Kevin Monangai. By booking an assessment, using our services, or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

Effective Date: July 22, 2026
Company: LocalLayer LLC (New Jersey)

1. Acceptance

By booking an assessment or using this website, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, and that together they form a binding agreement between you and LocalLayer. If you book on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that business to these Terms.

2. The AI Tools Assessment

The AI Tools Assessment is a paid service with three parts:

• A 30-minute discovery call over Zoom, recorded so it can be transcribed and reviewed.
• A custom written report recommending 3 to 7 off-the-shelf AI tools matched to where your business is losing time.
• A 30-minute review call to walk through the report with you.

The fee is $999 (US dollars). We explain the scope on the call. Anything beyond the assessment, such as help implementing the tools, is a separate service that we quote separately.

3. The Money-Back Guarantee

We stand behind the assessment. If your report does not identify AI tools or workflow changes that, in our good-faith professional judgment, can reclaim at least 5 hours per week for your business, we refund your $999 in full.

• What it covers: the guarantee is about what the assessment identifies. It is met when your report sets out recommendations that we reasonably assess can save you 5 or more hours per week.
• What it does not promise: it does not guarantee that you will actually realize those hours. Real savings depend on you putting the recommendations into practice, which is outside our control. The guarantee is not tied to your revenue, growth, or any other business result.
• How to claim: email kevin@locallayer.ai within 7 days of your review call and let us know the report did not identify at least 5 hours per week.
• The refund: we refund the full $999 to your original payment method, typically within 10 business days. This refund is your sole and exclusive remedy under the guarantee.

4. Payment

Payment terms for the assessment:

• Fee: $999, processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your full card details; Stripe handles payment data.
• When: payment is collected during or after your discovery call, before we prepare your report, using a Stripe payment link we provide.
• Refunds: except under the money-back guarantee in Section 3, the fee is non-refundable once we have delivered your report.

5. Recording & AI Processing

To deliver the assessment accurately, we record and process your call:

• Recording: your discovery call is recorded and transcribed using a third-party notetaking service. By joining the call, you consent to this recording.
• AI analysis: to prepare your report, we process the transcript and the business information you share using AI tools, including large language models such as Anthropic's Claude. Kevin reviews every report personally before you receive it.
• Your participants: if you invite other people to your call, you are responsible for making them aware that the call is recorded.
• Your data: how we handle this information is described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Tools

The assessment recommends third-party, off-the-shelf tools that we do not own or control.

• Independent recommendations: we are not paid by the tool providers to recommend them.
• Your relationship with the tools: you decide whether to adopt any recommended tool, and you contract directly with that provider under their own terms and pricing. Many tools charge their own fees.
• Not our responsibility: we are not responsible for third-party tools, including their performance, availability, pricing changes, security, or how they handle your data.

7. Not Professional Advice

The assessment and report are general operational recommendations. They are not legal, financial, tax, accounting, or other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. You are responsible for your own decisions about which tools to use and how to use them.

8. No Guarantee of Results

Other than the specific money-back guarantee in Section 3, we make no promise about any particular outcome. We do not guarantee any specific amount of time saved, cost reduced, or revenue gained. Results depend on your business and how you put the recommendations into practice.

9. Your Responsibilities

• Accurate information: give us accurate, complete information about your business so the recommendations fit.
• Your decisions: make your own decisions about adopting tools, and comply with any laws that apply to how you use them, including data-privacy laws covering your own customers' information.
• Security: keep any login credentials or access you share secure.

10. Intellectual Property

• Your report: once your $999 is paid, we grant you a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use your report for your own business.
• Our methods: we keep ownership of the methods, frameworks, templates, prompts, and know-how we use to produce it.
• Your information: the business information you provide remains yours. With your permission, we may reference your business as a client; we will not publish your confidential business details without your consent.

11. SMS & Text Messages

By giving us your mobile number or texting us (for example, replying to a message or asking for a booking link), you agree to receive text messages from LocalLayer related to your inquiry and appointment, such as booking links and scheduling confirmations.

• Frequency: a limited number of messages per interaction. We do not send recurring marketing texts without additional consent.
• Rates: standard message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier and plan.
• Opt out: reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts, or HELP for help. You can also reach us at kevin@locallayer.ai.
• Not a condition of purchase: consenting to texts is not required to buy anything from LocalLayer.
• Your number: we do not sell or share your mobile number for anyone else's marketing. Messages are sent by standard SMS and work with all major U.S. carriers.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LocalLayer's total liability arising from these Terms or the services is limited to the amount you paid us for the assessment ($999). This cap applies regardless of the nature of the claim (contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise).

In no event is LocalLayer liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
• Lost profits, revenue, business opportunities, or data.
• Losses caused by third-party tools, platforms, or events beyond our reasonable control.

Some places do not allow these limits, in which case they apply as far as the law allows.

13. Warranty Disclaimer

The services and report are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that any recommended tool will meet your needs, or that the services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LocalLayer, its owner, and its agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

• Your use of the recommendations or any recommended tools.
• The information or content you provide to us.
• Your failure to tell your own call participants that the call is recorded.
• Your violation of any law or third-party right.

15. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

• Binding arbitration: any dispute arising from these Terms or the services will be resolved by binding arbitration in New Jersey, under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules, rather than in court.
• Class action waiver: you and LocalLayer each waive any right to bring or join a class, consolidated, or representative action. Disputes must be brought in an individual capacity.
• Small claims: either party may still bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.
• Costs: each party bears its own fees and costs unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a new version on this page with a new effective date. Continuing to use the services or website after that means you accept the update. Please review these Terms from time to time.

17. Entire Agreement & Severability

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and LocalLayer about the assessment, and they replace any prior understandings. If any part is found invalid or unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest stays in full force and effect.
