Last updated: February 11, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "Customer") and DoTell ("we," "us," or "Company") governing your access to and use of the DoTell platform at dotellreviews.com and all related services (the "Service").
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to that entity.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
2. The Service
DoTell is a reputation management platform that allows businesses to collect customer reviews, send automated review request campaigns via email and SMS, monitor reviews from third-party platforms, and manage customer contacts.
The Service integrates with third-party platforms including Google Business Profile, Facebook, Postmark or SendGrid, and Twilio. Your use of those platforms is governed by their respective terms of service, and we are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or policies of any third-party service.
3. Accounts
You must provide a valid email address and create an account to use the Service. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, are used for fraudulent purposes, or remain inactive for an extended period.
4. Your Responsibilities
You agree that you will:
- Comply with all applicable laws, including the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and any state or local regulations governing commercial communications.
- Obtain proper consent from your customers before adding them to the Service and sending them review request messages via email or SMS.
- Not send unsolicited messages or use the Service to spam, harass, or send deceptive communications.
- Not misuse the Service, including attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with the Service's operation, reverse-engineering the software, or using the Service to violate the rights of others.
- Provide accurate information in your account and business profiles.
- Use connected platform APIs responsibly and in compliance with those platforms' terms of service.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if we reasonably believe you are violating these responsibilities.
5. Your Data
You retain all ownership rights to the data you upload to or create within the Service, including customer contacts, business information, and campaign content ("Your Data").
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to use, process, and store Your Data solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. We will not use Your Data for any other purpose.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of Your Data. You represent that you have all necessary rights and consents to upload and use Your Data within the Service.
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
6. Fees and Payment
Certain features of the Service may require payment of fees. If applicable, fees will be communicated to you before you incur them. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing.
We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of any price increase, and the new pricing will take effect at the start of your next billing period.
Third-party costs (such as SMS delivery fees from Twilio or email delivery fees from Postmark or SendGrid) are your responsibility and are billed separately by those providers or passed through as part of your Service fees.
7. Service Availability
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee any specific level of uptime, availability, or performance. The Service is provided on an "as available" basis.
We may temporarily suspend the Service or any part of it for maintenance, updates, or reasons beyond our control, including third-party service outages. We will attempt to provide advance notice of planned downtime when practical.
We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from Service interruptions, regardless of cause.
8. Third-Party Platforms
The Service allows you to connect third-party accounts (such as Google Business Profile and Facebook). By connecting these accounts, you authorize us to access data from those platforms on your behalf using the permissions you grant during the connection process.
We are not responsible for:
- Changes to third-party APIs, terms, or policies that may affect the Service's functionality
- The accuracy or completeness of data provided by third-party platforms
- Actions taken by third-party platforms, including suspension of your account on those platforms
You may disconnect third-party accounts at any time through the Service.
9. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, features, and documentation, is owned by DoTell and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership interest in the Service.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms for the duration of your subscription.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service, nor may you reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code.
