By accessing or using LeadClaw ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users, including account holders and any individuals authorized to use the Service on behalf of an account holder.
2. Service Description
LeadClaw is an autonomous AI sales outreach platform for service-based businesses. The Service provides:

- Personalized email outreach sent from your connected Gmail account
- Inbox monitoring and reply classification
- Campaign management, analytics, and reporting

Your AI agent operates autonomously within the boundaries you configure. It presents itself as "[Agent Name], Assistant for [Your Business]" and never claims to be you.
3. Account Registration and Security
- You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.

4. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree NOT to use LeadClaw to:
- Send unsolicited bulk email (spam) in violation of applicable laws
- Use purchased, rented, or scraped email lists from behind login walls

- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
Violation of this policy may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.
5. Email Compliance
LeadClaw enforces email compliance through technical measures. You are also responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with applicable email regulations:
5.1 Platform-Enforced Compliance
- Every outbound email includes a one-click unsubscribe mechanism (RFC 8058 header and footer link)
- Unsubscribe requests are honored immediately across all campaigns
- Sending automatically pauses if bounce rate exceeds 2% or complaint rate exceeds 0.1%
- New accounts follow a warmup schedule (5 to 50 emails/day over 2 weeks)
- Outreach is only sent during business hours in the lead's timezone
- No outreach is sent on weekends
- All lead emails are verified before sending
5.2 Your Responsibilities
- You must provide accurate business information including a valid physical mailing address for inclusion in email footers (CAN-SPAM requirement)
- You must ensure your business profile accurately represents your services
- You are responsible for compliance with all applicable email laws in your jurisdiction, including CAN-SPAM (US), GDPR (EU/UK), CASL (Canada), and other local regulations
- If using a custom domain for email, you are responsible for configuring SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records
6. Gmail Integration
The Service requires you to connect a Gmail account for your AI agent via Google OAuth. By connecting a Gmail account, you:
- Authorize LeadClaw to send emails, read inbox messages, and manage email state on the connected account
- Confirm you have the right to use the connected Gmail account for business outreach
- Understand that emails will be sent from this account to leads on your behalf
- Can revoke access at any time via your Google account settings or the LeadClaw Settings page
Our handling of Gmail data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See our Privacy Policy for details.
7. Lead Data
LeadClaw generates leads exclusively from publicly available sources, including Google Maps listings, business directories, Yelp, and public business websites. We do not:
- Purchase or rent email lists
- Scrape personal email addresses or data from behind login walls
- Collect data from social media private profiles
You are responsible for ensuring that your outreach campaigns target appropriate audiences and that contacting generated leads is lawful in your jurisdiction.
8. AI-Generated Content
Your AI agent drafts personalized outreach emails using artificial intelligence. While the Service includes content guardrails and compliance checks:
- You are ultimately responsible for communications sent on behalf of your business
- AI-generated content may occasionally contain errors or inaccuracies
- The AI will never make pricing commitments beyond what is in your business profile
- The AI will never claim to be the business owner — it identifies as an assistant
You may review your agent's activity and email history at any time through the dashboard.
9. Intellectual Property
Our property: The LeadClaw platform, including its software, design, AI models, and documentation, is owned by LeadClaw and protected by intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Service for its intended purpose.
