If you are using HelperHat's services to generate income, we are not responsible for what you do with your income. Please read our Privacy Policy to learn better how to use HelperHat appropriately. Our policies cover most issues, but if you find a new way to hurt HelperHat or our users, we reserve the right to take swift action to prevent it.

Being a User

To become a user, simply login to the HelperHat website using your business's email address and password. When you join HelperHat, you become part of the HelperHat user community. You can use all the features that HelperHat provides.

Setting up & Utilizing the AI Customer Support

Once you have logged in, entered all the required information, subscribed to a plan, and installed HelperHat on your website, HelperHat can start delivering AI-assisted customer support for your business.

Content Scraping and Usage

By setting up HelperHat, you agree that HelperHat will scrape and analyze the content of your web pages based on your sitemap during onboarding as well as every month. All webpage content accessed and analyzed will be used to improve the accuracy and relevance of AI-powered customer support responses. Remember that HelperHat can only scrape content from your website that is publicly visible to the average website visitor.

Use of Uploaded Files

If you upload any files to HelperHat to enhance customer support responses, these files will be used to answer customer queries. The data within these files may be processed to refine and improve the AI responses provided to customers. Any or all of the content from these files may be used to provide simplified customer support with HelperHat.

Installation of HelperHat Code

By installing the HelperHat code on your website, you enable the HelperHat chat bubble to appear on your pages, allowing direct interaction with your website's visitors and customers. Additionally, HelperHat includes a text and link back to the HelperHat website on your pages. This link is intended to inform your website's visitors (as well as search engines) that your online customer support is provided with the help of HelperHat.

Disclaimer

HelperHat leverages advanced AI technology to provide customer support. While we aim for high accuracy, the nature of AI technology means there is an inherent risk of errors. Occasionally, unexpected technical issues or system downtimes may impact the performance of the AI, potentially disrupting the service temporarily. We strive to resolve such issues promptly but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.

AI models are continually being refined, but they may not yet account for all possible scenarios or customer queries. HelperHat is not responsible for any inaccuracies, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of AI-generated responses, nor for any decisions made based on such responses. Use of HelperHat indicates acceptance of this disclaimer and an understanding that the service is used at the user's own risk.

Currencies

HelperHat is available to users worldwide. As such, we offer you the ability to pay in the most widely used currencies.

Refunds & Disputes

HelperHat doesn't offer any refunds. Once you log in and subscribe to HelperHat, you are explicitly asked for payment details and confirmation when making payment when subscribing to the Universal Plan. You may not dispute any transactions with HelperHat as all payments are final. If you are a subscriber to one of our plans, you may cancel your subscription account anytime by going to your Account Page and your account will unsubscribed immediately. Thereafter, your business won't be able to provide customer support any further with HelperHat.

Taxes

We do not collect Tax ID numbers from our users. You may be required to pay taxes based on your local jurisdiction when you are purchasing any of our services. This is typically shown as an extra tax field during the payment checkout process.

Restrictions

We don't allow certain types of users on HelperHat. To create an account you must be at least 18 years old. If you are under the age of 18, then you cannot use HelperHat under any circumstances.

HelperHat's Role

We proactively look at some users' accounts on HelperHat to make sure users follow our policies. These investigations may take a while to resolve. In most situations, we will work with our users to resolve any potential violations and allow the user to continue using HelperHat if they fix the related issue.

Terminating accounts is not an action we take lightly and it is done only in the most extreme cases or circumstances. HelperHat reserves the right to remove a user from participating in any activity on HelperHat if they violate any of our Terms or Policies.

As a global company based in Canada, we must comply with economic sanctions and trade restrictions implemented by the Federal Government of Canada. This means that HelperHat cannot take part in transactions that involve any citizen or people living in those countries. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

We are constantly testing out new features intending to make HelperHat better. We may add or remove features, and often test features with a random subset of our users. If we believe a feature is significantly different from these terms, then we explain those differences in the feature trial.

Account Deletion and Termination

As a user, you may terminate your use of HelperHat at any time by deleting your account through your Account Page . Upon deletion, all your data will be permanently removed from our systems, except where retention is required by law or as otherwise permitted in our Privacy Policy.

HelperHat may suspend or terminate your account or access to the services at any time, with or without cause or notice, including but not limited to if you violate these Terms of Service or applicable laws.

Effects of Termination:

  • Upon termination by either party, you remain responsible for any outstanding payment obligations, including fees due up to the date of termination.

HelperHat's total cumulative liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the service shall not exceed the amount you have paid to HelperHat for the use of the service in the six (6) months preceding the claim.

You acknowledge and agree that the disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth in these Terms reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and HelperHat, and that these limitations are an essential basis of our ability to make the services available to you on an economically feasible basis.

Dispute Resolution

We encourage you to contact us if you have an issue.

British Columbia law, excluding its conflict of law provisions, governs these terms, all other HelperHat policies, and any dispute that arises between you and HelperHat.

Updates to the Terms

We may occasionally update these Terms of Service and any referenced policies. If we make material changes that could adversely affect your rights, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect.

If a provision cannot be modified, it is severed from these Terms, and all other provisions remain in force. If either party fails to enforce a right provided by these Terms, it does not waive the ability to enforce any rights in the future.
