Terms of Service

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 B2B search and intelligence indexing platform. It aggregates publicly available business information through Beacon Discovery, our proprietary indexing engine, and lets you search it, verify it and organise it. Specifically:

• Business listings. Beacon Discovery indexes businesses matching your criteria (location, category, rating and similar filters) from licensed business-listing data supplied by our intelligence partners.
• The business's own website. When you request enrichment on a business, we read pages the business has published and its robots.txt allows us to access, looking for a business email address, an owner's email address and other published contact details.
• Verified addresses. Where a business's website publishes no address, we may test standard address patterns on the business's own domain (for example, first.last@ that domain) with a verification check, and offer an address only when the check reports that the mailbox accepts mail. Such an address is labelled in Beacon as a verified address, not one the business published. An address on a mail server that accepts every address cannot be confirmed; it is labelled "Catch-All" and listed at a lower price.
• Public research. We identify a business's decision makers and their titles from its own pages, public web search results and official business records (for example, Secretary of State filings and licensing boards), and find a link to a person's public LinkedIn profile through public web search. We never sign in to, or scrape, LinkedIn or any other social network.
• Verification. Where you ask for it, we run a verification on an email address (whether it accepts mail), and when you reveal a phone field we check that number's line type (landline, VoIP, toll-free or mobile). Neither check reads a mailbox or places a call.
• Signals and dossiers. We check public news, public filings (for example, SEC filings) and a business's own news pages for dated business events, and build an AI-generated research summary (the "Deep AI Dossier") with the page each finding came from.
• Your own lists. A list you upload stays private to your account.

We do not acquire third-party contact databases, and we do not provide access to private, non-public data. Everything Beacon surfaces is licensed listing data, information a business or a person has made public (on the business's website, in public records or in public web results), an address that passed a verification check as described above, or data you uploaded. Anyone can remove their own contact details from Beacon at any time through Remove My Data.

2. The Beacon Demand Data Engine (BDDE)

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

• Partner licence compliance. Business listing details (name, address, phone, rating, review count, website) come from our listing-data partners under licences that permit caching for up to 30 days. The BDDE refreshes a listing 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 partner-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 listing's identifier itself is retained, as the licence permits, 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. Intelligence you have unlocked (an email address, a verified mobile label, a Deep AI Dossier) is retained and is not refreshed away, unless the person it concerns removes it through Remove My Data.
• Data hygiene. The BDDE withholds an address rather than reveal 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 partner-facing action is metered and bounded: a per-account daily and monthly ceiling on listing requests, a daily ceiling on verification lookups, each plan's daily ceiling on leads served and on enrichments (on Agency, 5,000 leads served and 5,000 enrichments a day), and a platform-wide cap on automated crawling. These ceilings protect the Service and its partners; 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 — partner licences honoured, first-party facts kept, untrustworthy values withheld, partner use bounded — do not change without an update to these Terms.

2a. Map features

Beacon's map uses Google Maps features and content. Your use of them is subject to the then-current Google Maps / Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

3. Accounts

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old, and able to enter a binding contract, to create an account or use Beacon; by signing up you confirm that you are. Beacon is a business tool: an account is opened for work on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent. 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. Credits are the unit of compute Beacon spends to run a lookup, an enrichment or a verification for you. Starter, Growth, and Pro accounts receive a fixed monthly credit allotment; a Free account receives a one-time starter grant for a thirty (30) day evaluation and no monthly allotment; Agency accounts use a pre-paid wallet instead. Each data field you request (a business email, an owner email, a verified mobile, an owner’s LinkedIn profile, a website phone, a named team member’s contact, a Deep Signals lookup, 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.
• Taxes. Prices are shown without sales, use, value-added or similar taxes. You are responsible for any such taxes that apply to your subscription, top-ups and wallet deposits, other than taxes on our own income; where we are required to collect a tax, it is added to your invoice.
• Upgrades and downgrades. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you are invoiced at once for the prorated difference for the rest of the current billing period, and your balance receives the difference between the new plan's monthly credits and what this period has already granted (never the full allotment twice). A downgrade takes effect at the end of the current billing period; until then you keep your current plan, and from then the new plan's credits and limits apply.
• Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, our payment processor retries it over roughly two weeks and emails you about the card on file. While a renewal is unpaid, that period's monthly plan credits are not granted and new business listings are limited to the Free allowance. If the payment still fails, the subscription is canceled and the account returns to Free.
• Refunds and chargebacks. When a payment is refunded, what that payment added is taken back: the period's plan credits for a fully refunded subscription invoice, a top-up's credits in proportion to the amount refunded, or a wallet deposit's balance. Credits or wallet funds already spent cannot be taken back. If you dispute a payment with your card issuer, lookups and searches on your account are paused while the dispute is open; you can still sign in, view Billing and contact us, and the pause is lifted once the dispute is resolved in your favour or withdrawn.
• The Agency wallet. Agency is a monthly base fee plus a pre-paid wallet. Each deposit is between $50 and $5,000; the first deposit is required before the first lookup runs. Every lookup draws its listed unit price from the wallet and a miss draws nothing. You may withdraw the unspent balance at any time from the Billing page, refunded to the original payment method; funds held for a lookup in progress become withdrawable when it settles. If your Agency subscription ends, by cancellation or by termination, the unspent balance stays withdrawable from the Billing page, less any amount you owe us; if we terminate an account for fraud or abuse, we may hold the balance while we investigate.
• The Free evaluation. Effective October 21, 2026, a new Free account receives up to 125 one-time starter credits, 150 new business listings and 1 sample Deep AI Dossier for a thirty (30) day evaluation. Free has no monthly credit refill. At day thirty the account pauses — what you have unlocked stays yours to view and export — until a paid plan is chosen. Starter, Growth and Pro accounts are eligible for bonus credits granted by our team after a demo call, never automatically.
• Your three credit balances — which are used first, and when they end. Effective October 12, 2026, every credit on your account sits in one of three balances, used in this order:
  1. Promotional credits — the credits you receive when you sign up (up to 125 credits on a new Free account) and any credits our team grants you. Used first. Each grant expires thirty (30) days after it is made; signup credits expire thirty (30) days after you register. They do not roll over.
  2. Monthly plan credits — granted at the start of each billing cycle. Used next. The unused part expires at the end of the cycle — at renewal, at a plan change and at cancellation — and does not roll over to the next cycle.
  3. Top-up credits — credits you add yourself. Used last. They never expire with the cycle and carry over from one cycle to the next.
  Credits our team added to your account before October 12, 2026 keep the terms they were given under: they do not expire and are used after your plan credits.
• Never charged twice. A field you have already unlocked on a lead is never charged again, and the same phone number is never charged to you twice under two fields (for example, a verified mobile that is also the business's website phone). Each account unlocks for itself.
• Charged only for a successful result. A lookup that cannot run because of a failure on our side, or a partner's, is never charged. A Catch-All address is listed at its own lower price. A Deep Signals refresh after the refresh period is charged only when it finds an event new to your account's prior look. A Deep AI Dossier you hold reopens at no charge. A team member's contact is charged only when their verified email is found; the LinkedIn profile and direct line their own business's website publishes for them come with it at no extra charge, and a name written only as an initial is never offered.
• New business listings. A business a search, "Load more" or a Market Scan brings into your account for the first time draws on your plan's monthly new-listing allowance (no credits are spent), or on Agency is charged to your wallet at the listed per-listing rate. A business counts once per account, the first time it reaches your account; you are never counted or charged twice for a business already in your account. Once the allowance (or the wallet) runs out, new businesses are held back until it renews or is topped up; businesses already in your account keep coming back.
• Your account statement. Your Activity page lists each search, pull, enrichment, export, import and credit movement with its result and its charge for the last 90 days, and the full history downloads as a file at any time. Billing lists money in and out. If a charge looks wrong, tell us within thirty (30) days of it.

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, except that an Agency customer may withdraw the unspent balance of their pre-paid wallet from the Billing page, refunded to the original payment method; funds held for a lookup in progress become withdrawable when it settles.

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.

Plans and what they include. Each plan's price, monthly credits or wallet rates, limits and included features (for example Deep Signals, Beacon Board Briefs and Beacon Vault) are as shown on our pricing page when you subscribe or change plan. A downgrade or cancellation removes the features the new plan does not include from the change; intelligence you already unlocked stays yours. We will email you at least thirty (30) days before a price increase applies to your subscription.

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.
• License, syndicate, publish, or otherwise redistribute the results you unlock — individually or as a list or dataset — to anyone outside your own organization, or make them available through another product or service. You may use them for your own organization's outreach and research and share them inside your organization.
• Use the Service in breach of the usage and acceptable-use policies of the map, search and AI providers that power it — including the map terms in Section 2a — or misuse its search and research pipeline (automated querying beyond your plan, attempts to extract provider output in bulk, or content those policies prohibit). We will tell you which providers' policies apply on request.

5a. Your role and your outreach

You direct the Service. Beacon is software you direct: you choose the searches, lookups and verifications it runs for your account, and you decide what to do with the results. As between you and AI Growth Xperts, you are an independent controller of the contact data you unlock, export and use, and of the purposes you use it for.

Your outreach is lawful. You warrant that your use of the Service and of its output complies with the laws that govern your outreach where you and your recipients are, including CAN-SPAM, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), the TCPA, the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules where they apply, and state telemarketing and privacy laws.

6. Accuracy disclaimer

Business data comes from our listing-data partners, business websites, public records and public web results. We do not independently verify the accuracy of this data beyond the verification checks you request, 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 intelligence you enriched is stored in a shared index used to serve other customers — each account unlocks for itself and is never billed twice for the same one — and is not personal to you, so it may remain in that index 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, CASL, 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;
• Your breach of the usage or acceptable-use policies of the providers that power the Service (Section 5), or any misuse of the Service's search and research pipeline under your account.

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.If you hold a paid subscription when we make a material change to these terms — including a change to what a plan includes or how it is billed — we will email you at least thirty (30) days before the change applies to you, and it applies from your first billing period that begins after that notice. A change required by law or to protect the security of the Service may apply sooner, and we will say so in the notice. New accounts and Free accounts are on the terms in force when they sign up or next use the Service.

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?

Beacon is a search and intelligence index over publicly available business information, built by Beacon Discovery from: licensed business-listing data from our intelligence partners; the business's own published website (read within its robots.txt); official business records, public filings and public news; public web search results, including a link to a person's public LinkedIn profile; addresses on the business's own domain that passed a verification check, labelled as verified rather than published; and lists you upload, which stay private to you. Beacon holds no non-public records, acquires no third-party contact databases, and never signs in to or scrapes social networks. The page behind each published fact 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 partners' licence terms and keeps its records honest (Section 2). In practice: partner-sourced listing details are refreshed only where a customer is actually using the business and are retired on schedule elsewhere, so nothing licensed is held past its permitted caching window; the listing identifier the licence 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 revealed. Every partner request is metered against per-account and platform ceilings, so a runaway job cannot breach a partner's limits or our own.

How do I check what I was charged?

Every charge is on your Activity page beside the result it paid for — a field found, a dossier ready — and a lookup that found nothing shows No charge. Download your full history from the same page at any time. Billing shows money in and out.

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.

Who can see the contact data my firm unlocks?

Only your account. Every paid field — an email, a phone number, a profile, a dossier — is withheld on our servers and sent only to the account that unlocked it; a value your account has not unlocked is not in the page at all, hidden or otherwise. Each account unlocks for itself: your unlocks are never shown to another customer, and another customer's unlock never opens a field for you.

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 or a person that asks to be removed?

Through Remove My Data, a person removes their own email address, phone number or name at a business, and a business removes its whole listing. A person's removal applies once you confirm the link we email you, for every customer, and is never undone by a later lookup; a listing is removed, once you confirm that link, where the request names the business's website.

Who is responsible for outreach compliance?

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