Terms of Service

Last updated: September 26, 2026

AI Growth Beacon ("Beacon," "the Service," "we," "us") is a product of AI Growth Xperts LLC ("AI Growth Xperts," "the Company"). AI Growth Xperts LLC is the legal entity that owns and operates Beacon and is the party to this agreement — throughout this document and everywhere in the product, "Beacon" refers to the service you are using; AI Growth Xperts LLC is who you are contracting with.

1. What Beacon does

Beacon is a self-serve tool that helps you find and research local businesses. Specifically:

  • We search Google's Places data for businesses matching your criteria (location, category, rating, and similar filters).
  • When you request enrichment on a specific business, we crawl that business's own public website to look for a business email address, an owner/personal email address, and other published contact information. We only look at pages the business itself has published publicly and that its own robots.txt allows us to access.
  • Where you ask for it, we check a published email address for deliverability and a listed phone number for its line type through a verification provider. Neither check reads a mailbox or places a call.
  • We check public sources (news, SEC filings) for recent business events — leadership changes, expansions, and similar signals — and use AI to summarize what we find.
  • We offer an AI-generated research summary (the "Deep AI Dossier") for a business, built from its own published pages and publicly available information — including dated leadership, ownership and expansion events with the page each one came from.

We do not sell or provide access to private, non-public data. Everything Beacon surfaces is either licensed data from Google Places or information a business has itself chosen to publish on its own website or in public records.

2. The Beacon Demand Data Engine (BDDE)

The Beacon Demand Data Engine ("BDDE") is the backend mechanism through which Beacon keeps its data hygienic, refreshes it within safeguards, and stays within the terms of the vendors it draws on. It is not a product you buy; it is how the Service is operated, and these Terms define it so that what you can rely on is explicit.

  • Vendor compliance. Business listing details (name, address, phone, rating, review count, website) come from Google's Places API under Google's Places Platform terms, which permit caching for up to 30 days. The BDDE refreshes a listing from Google only where a customer is actively using that business (a field unlocked, a lead saved or listed within the last 30 days). A listing nobody is using is not refreshed: its Google-sourced rating and review figures are retired on schedule, and the listing is marked as such until a new search or a customer's own use brings it back. The place identifier itself is retained, as Google's terms permit, so that the same business is recognised rather than duplicated. Listed details may therefore be up to 30 days old, or marked as retired, at any given moment.
  • First-party facts. What Beacon's own crawler establishes from a business's own published pages — its website, its contact details, its published team and licence information, and the page each fact came from — is Beacon's own record and is not subject to the 30-day cycle. Data you have specifically paid to unlock (an email address, a verified mobile label, a Deep AI Dossier) is retained and is not refreshed away.
  • Data hygiene. The BDDE withholds an address rather than sell it when the record cannot be trusted: an address at a domain that no longer resolves, a shared inbox stamped across many branches of a franchise, or an address whose domain does not match the business's own website. A withheld value is never billed. Where a business's website refuses our crawler, the BDDE backs off for a set period and never attempts to bypass a block, a login, or a robots.txt directive.
  • Refresh safeguards. Every vendor-facing action is metered and bounded: a per-account daily and monthly ceiling on listing requests, a daily ceiling on verification lookups, and a platform-wide cap on automated crawling. These ceilings protect the Service and its vendors; they may cause a request of yours to be declined for the day, in which case nothing is charged.

We may improve the BDDE's mechanisms at any time. Its commitments — vendor terms honoured, first-party facts kept, untrustworthy values withheld, vendor use bounded — do not change without an update to these Terms.

3. Accounts

You must provide a real, working email address and confirm it before you can sign in. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity on your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts we reasonably believe are being used fraudulently or abusively (for example, creating multiple accounts to bypass free-tier limits).

4. Credits, billing, and refunds

Beacon runs on a credit system. Free, Starter, Growth, and Pro accounts receive a fixed monthly credit allotment; Agency accounts use a pre-paid wallet instead. Each data field you request (a business email, an owner email, a verified mobile, a direct phone, an owner’s LinkedIn profile, a website phone, a trigger-flag check, a Deep AI Dossier, and so on) has its own listed credit or dollar cost — there is no bundled "full enrichment" charge.

  • You only pay when we find it. Not found = no charge, on every plan. On Free, Starter, Growth, and Pro the listed credits are reserved while we look and released back to your balance for any field that is not found; on Agency the same happens against your wallet.
  • A contact field we already found (shown as Ready), or a business we already checked and found nothing published for, is shown to you as such before you spend anything.
  • Subscriptions renew monthly and can be managed, upgraded, downgraded, or canceled from your account's Billing page at any time via our payment processor's own account portal.

Strict non-refundable policy: All fees paid to Beacon — including recurring subscription fees, wallet balances, unused enrichment credits, and any usage-based charges — are strictly non-refundable.

Cancellation scope: You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account's Billing page. Cancellation stops future recurring billing cycles; it does not trigger a pro-rated refund for the remainder of the active billing period. Access to the Service remains available until the end of the current billing cycle.

Special circumstances: Refunds are granted strictly at our sole discretion. A refund may only be considered under the following circumstances:

  • A duplicate charge occurred due to a technical billing error, verified by our payment processor.
  • A major platform outage prevented core system functionality for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours, as validated by our internal system logs.

Low data match rates, an enrichment field genuinely not being found, or a change in your business needs are not grounds for a refund — see Section 4's pay-on-find billing rules above for what you're actually being charged for.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use Beacon to build a competing lead-data or enrichment product.
  • Attempt to circumvent credit charges, rate limits, or per-account usage limits.
  • Create multiple accounts to obtain free-tier credits beyond what a single account is entitled to.
  • Use the contact information Beacon surfaces for unlawful purposes, including in violation of applicable anti-spam or telemarketing law (e.g., CAN-SPAM, TCPA) in your jurisdiction.
  • Attempt to scrape, reverse-engineer, or bulk-extract Beacon's own underlying data or systems.

6. Accuracy disclaimer

Business data comes from Google Places, business websites, and public records. We do not independently verify the accuracy of this data, and we make no guarantee that any email address, phone number, or other detail is current or correct. AI-generated summaries and research briefs may contain errors — they are a research aid, not verified fact.

7. Scope of use and liability disclaimer

Business intelligence, not advice. Beacon provides B2B business intelligence and data enrichment: business listings, published contact details, signals drawn from public sources, and AI-generated research summaries. Beacon does not provide financial, trade, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, and nothing the Service produces is a recommendation to buy, sell, invest in, lend to, acquire, or transact with any business.

Not a registered adviser. AI Growth Xperts LLC is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial institution, and is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, or any state securities regulator. A signal that a business may be changing hands, expanding, restructuring, or hiring is an observation drawn from public material, with the page it came from shown beside it. It is not a valuation, a due-diligence finding, or an opinion on the merits of any transaction.

Your use is your responsibility. How you use what Beacon surfaces — as an investor, a private-equity or M&A professional, a broker, an agency, a lender, or any other user — is entirely within your own legal, compliance, and operational scope. You are solely responsible for your own diligence, for any decision you make or transaction you enter into, and for compliance with the laws that apply to your activity, including securities, antitrust, anti-spam, telemarketing, privacy, and fair-dealing laws in your jurisdiction. Beacon is one input to your process, never a substitute for it.

No fiduciary relationship. Use of the Service does not create an advisory, fiduciary, agency, or professional relationship between you and AI Growth Xperts LLC. The warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability in Sections 10 and 11 apply in full to any financial or commercial outcome of a decision made with Beacon's output.

8. Account deletion

You can request deletion of your account and personal account data (your name, email, company name, and login credentials) at any time by contacting us. Deleting your account removes your access and your personal profile information. Business-level data you enriched (which is stored in a shared cache used to serve other customers more efficiently, and never billed twice to different customers for the same lookup) is not personal to you and may remain in that shared cache after your account is deleted — see the Privacy Policy for how this works.

9. Intellectual property rights

Company ownership: All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service — including but not limited to Beacon and AI Growth Xperts branding, logos, website design, UI/UX elements, matching algorithms, proprietary crawlers, AI pipelines, database structures, and software code — are and will remain the exclusive property of AI Growth Xperts.

Input data license: You retain all ownership rights to any search criteria, keywords, or lists you submit to the Service ("Input Data"). You grant AI Growth Xperts a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, reproduce, and use the Input Data solely to provide, maintain, and optimize the Service for your account.

Enriched data license: Subject to compliance with these Terms, AI Growth Xperts grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Enriched Data returned by the Service for your internal business development, sales prospecting, and marketing operations.

10. Warranty disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL ENRICHED DATA ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

AI GROWTH XPERTS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ENRICHED DATA (INCLUDING BUSINESS EMAIL ADDRESSES, OWNER EMAIL ADDRESSES, OR OTHER PUBLISHED CONTACT DETAILS) WILL BE 100% ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BEACON, AI GROWTH XPERTS, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE; (B) ANY INACCURACIES IN THE ENRICHED DATA; OR (C) ANY LEGAL OR REGULATORY ACTION TAKEN AGAINST YOU REGARDING TELEMARKETING, COLD EMAILING, OR PRIVACY VIOLATION CLAIMS (INCLUDING UNDER CAN-SPAM, TCPA, OR CCPA) ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF ENRICHED DATA.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00 USD) OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO AI GROWTH XPERTS IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beacon, AI Growth Xperts, and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • Your access to or use of the Service or Enriched Data;
  • Your violation of these Terms or any applicable local, state, federal, or international law or regulation (including CAN-SPAM, TCPA, and CCPA/CPRA);
  • Your outreach activities (including cold email, cold calling, or direct mail campaigns) directed at third parties using data obtained through the Service; or
  • Your violation of any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or proprietary rights.

13. Governing law and dispute resolution

Governing law: These Terms are governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Mandatory binding arbitration: Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or the Service shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

Venue and jurisdiction: The place of arbitration shall be Poway, California. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Class action waiver: YOU AND AI GROWTH XPERTS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of Beacon after a change means you accept the updated terms.

16. Legal and compliance FAQ

Longer answers to the questions enterprise reviewers ask most. Each one restates a commitment made above; where they differ, the numbered sections govern.

Is Beacon giving my firm investment or deal advice?

No. Beacon surfaces public facts about businesses — who runs them, what they publish, what has changed and when — with the source page beside each one. It does not rate, rank, or recommend a business as a target, a borrower, or an investment, and it does not know your mandate, your fund's restrictions, or your compliance obligations. Treat every signal as a lead to verify, not a conclusion. Section 7 sets this out in full and applies to every plan.

Where does the data come from, and is any of it private?

Three places: Google's Places listing for the business, the business's own published website (read within its robots.txt), and public news and filings. Beacon holds no non-public records, buys no third-party contact databases, and does not scrape social platforms. An owner's name or email appears in Beacon only because the business published it on its own site, and the page is shown so you can check it yourself.

What is the BDDE and why does it matter for compliance?

The Beacon Demand Data Engine is the mechanism that keeps Beacon inside its vendors' terms and keeps its records honest (Section 2). In practice: Google-sourced listing details are refreshed only where a customer is actually using the business and are retired on schedule elsewhere, so nothing licensed from Google is held past its permitted caching window; the place identifier Google permits us to keep is what stops a business being duplicated; facts our own crawler established stay on file as our own record; and an address the engine cannot trust (a dead domain, a franchise-wide inbox, a mismatched domain) is withheld rather than sold. Every vendor request is metered against per-account and platform ceilings, so a runaway job cannot breach a vendor's limits or our own.

Are you SOC 2 certified?

Beacon's controls are organised against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, and confidentiality, and the Privacy Policy's "SOC 2 alignment and data security" section describes the specific safeguards in place. A third-party SOC 2 attestation has not been issued for Beacon at the date above; we will state it here, with the report type and period, when one is. Enterprise customers who need a security questionnaire completed can request one at the contact address in Section 15.

Do you process health, consumer-financial, or children's data?

No. Beacon is a B2B service for adults. It does not process protected health information under HIPAA, non-public personal information about consumers under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or data about children under COPPA, and it is not designed to. A customer must not import such data into Beacon. The Privacy Policy's federal-law section states each boundary.

What happens to a business that asks to be removed?

Its listing is removed or blocked, immediately where the request names the business's website, through the removal request form linked from the Privacy Policy. The block is permanent and applies to every customer.

Who is responsible for outreach compliance?

You are. Beacon never sends email, places calls, or runs campaigns. Compliance with CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, state telemarketing law, and any equivalent law where your recipients live is your obligation under Sections 5, 11, and 12.
