4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Send spam, unsolicited marketing, or messages that violate WhatsApp's Business Policy
  • Deceive or mislead customers in a way that causes harm
  • Violate any applicable Hong Kong laws or regulations
  • Reverse-engineer, copy, or resell any part of the Service
  • Attempt to circumvent usage limits or access other businesses' data

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms without refund.

5. AI-Generated Content

The Service uses AI (Meta Llama 3.3 via Together AI) to generate replies on your behalf. While we apply guardrails to prevent hallucination, we do not guarantee that all AI-generated replies will be 100% accurate.

You are responsible for reviewing your business information (pricing, hours, services, address) entered in Settings and ensuring it is accurate. The AI uses this information to construct replies. Inaccurate information entered by you may result in incorrect responses to your customers.

We recommend regularly reviewing the Conversations page in your dashboard to monitor AI response quality.

6. WhatsApp Compliance

Use of this Service requires your own WhatsApp Business Account approved by Meta. You are responsible for compliance with Meta's WhatsApp Business Policy and Terms of Service. We are not affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc.

7. Data and Privacy

Our collection and use of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Hong Kong law, AIC China Holdings Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service, including but not limited to lost revenue, missed bookings, or customer disputes arising from AI-generated replies.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 3 months preceding the claim.

9. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time via the Billing page or by emailing hello@pinghand.com. We may terminate or suspend your account for violation of these Terms with immediate effect.

Upon termination, your data will be retained for 30 days and then permanently deleted, except where retention is required by law.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Hong Kong courts.
