Website descriptions are intended to explain our services but may not contain every limitation, requirement, deliverable, or condition.

7. Recurring Services

Certain services are offered on a monthly or otherwise recurring basis.

By purchasing a recurring service, you authorise Near me Marketing or its payment provider to charge the approved payment method according to the billing schedule stated in your agreement.

Near me Marketing does not guarantee that transcripts or summaries will be completely accurate.

Important information should be independently reviewed before being relied upon.

AI systems may occasionally:

  • Misinterpret information
  • Produce incomplete responses
  • Generate incorrect statements

Human review should be used where accuracy or judgement is important.

Near me Marketing may change underlying AI providers or technologies where reasonably necessary to maintain or improve the service.
