These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between Mo Fisch LLC, doing business as CutsToConnect ("CutsToConnect," "we," "us," or "our") and each barbershop or salon that registers for or uses the CutsToConnect platform (the "Service"). By onboarding a shop, activating a staff login, or otherwise using the Service, you ("Shop," "you") agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and the business you represent.
CutsToConnect is a business-management platform for barbershops and salons, including staff dashboards for scheduling, client records, and walk-in queue management; a customizable booking widget you may embed on your own website; an in-shop walk-in kiosk display; subscription billing through Stripe; and outreach/marketing tools.
Shops are onboarded by a CutsToConnect administrator. Each staff member receives an individual login ("Seat"). You are responsible for the accuracy of your information, safeguarding your Seats' credentials, and all activity under your accounts.
For support and account-management purposes, a CutsToConnect administrator may access your account directly, including viewing and acting within your dashboard as if logged in as you ("Administrative Access"). Administrative Access is logged and used only for legitimate support, troubleshooting, or account-management purposes.
The Service is billed per Seat on a recurring monthly basis through Stripe. If a Seat's subscription is inactive, lapsed, past due beyond any grace period, or canceled, dashboard access is restricted to the billing page until payment is resolved. Subscription fees are billed in advance and are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods. If you cancel, you retain access through the end of your current billing period.
If you add the optional website build-and-hosting add-on, that website is built and hosted by CutsToConnect for as long as your subscription remains active. It is not a standalone asset you retain independently of the Service. If your subscription is terminated or canceled (by you or by us), your website is taken down along with the rest of your account access, and is not transferred, exported, or kept live on your behalf.
You own your business data. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to collect your clients' information and for obtaining valid consent before sending marketing text messages, in compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and applicable law.
You will not send marketing messages without consent, access another Shop's data, circumvent security features, upload unlawful content, or resell the Service to third parties.
We may suspend or terminate your account for material breach, prolonged non-payment, or unlawful use. Deleting a Shop account permanently and irreversibly removes its data.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. [LAWYER NOTE: confirm enforceability and any required carve-outs.]
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. Any dispute arising from these Terms will first be addressed through good-faith informal negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, the dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in Illinois, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court.
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated to Shop account holders, who will be asked to accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Service.
