You grant Ringa permission to read and write events on the Google Calendar you connect. You can revoke this permission at any time through your Google account settings, though doing so will disable appointment booking.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Call transcripts and customer data are stored securely and are accessible only to you through your client portal.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ringa's total liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 30 days preceding the claim.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if your payment fails after reasonable notice. Upon termination, your phone number will be released and your data will be retained for 30 days before deletion.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll notify you by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of British Columbia.
