GILD service terms.

Written to be read. Serving NC, SC & GA. Last updated September 2026.

The agreement

  • GILD is provided by Edge Intel to beauty and grooming businesses in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
  • Service begins on the activation date and continues month to month unless a plan states an initial commitment.
  • Everything included in a plan is listed on the pricing page. Anything not listed is an add-on or a separate quote.

Billing and activation

  • Activation is a one-time fee, billed at signing, that covers setup, configuration, knowledge ingestion, and launch.
  • Monthly fees are billed in advance on the same calendar day each month.
  • Add-ons are billed with the monthly plan and prorated on the month they are added.
  • Overage — conversations, locations, or seats beyond plan limits — is billed at the published add-on rate, never silently.
  • Prices are in USD and exclude applicable taxes.

Trial

  • The 14-day trial gives access to the launch agents on a single location with a capped conversation volume.
  • No activation fee is charged during the trial.
  • If you do not continue, your workspace is deactivated and your data is exported on request within 30 days.

Founding Member terms

  • Limited to the first 10 qualified businesses or a firm closing date, whichever comes first.
  • The rate is protected for 12 months from activation, not for life.
  • A three-month initial commitment applies.
  • Structured feedback and onboarding participation are expected.
  • Case-study participation happens only with explicit written permission.
  • Founding pricing does not stack with any other discount or promotion.

Changes and cancellation

  • You may upgrade at any time; the new rate applies from the next billing date.
  • Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period, with 30 days' written notice.
  • Activation fees are non-refundable once configuration work has started.
  • Founding Members may cancel after the three-month commitment on the same 30-day notice.

What each side is responsible for

  • GILD keeps the agents running, the knowledge current within the agreed cadence, and reporting delivered on schedule.
  • You provide accurate business information, approved brand assets, service and pricing details, and a named point of contact.
  • Approvals requested from you — copy, offers, publishing — pause the clock on the related deliverable until returned.
  • You are responsible for the legal accuracy of claims, prices, and offers you ask GILD to publish on your behalf.

Data and privacy

  • Client data captured through GILD belongs to you and is exported on request.
  • GILD processes data only to deliver the service and never sells it.
  • Messaging follows carrier and platform rules: consent is captured at opt-in and every SMS honors STOP.
  • See the Privacy Policy for the full detail on retention, processors, and requests.

Fair use and limits

  • Conversation, location, seat, and workflow limits are the fair-use boundaries of each plan.
  • GILD may pause automated sending if usage risks carrier compliance or platform suspension, and will tell you why.
  • No guarantee of ranking, booking volume, revenue, or any specific commercial outcome is made or implied.
  • Third-party platforms — calendars, payments, messaging, social — are governed by their own terms and availability.
