1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you," or "your") and GoldenFlow AI, a sole proprietorship / LLC organized under the laws of the State of Illinois ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), operating from Chicago, Illinois.
By accessing our website, requesting a consultation, or engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our website or services. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of our website or services following notice of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Services
2.1 Description of Services
GoldenFlow AI provides AI-powered workflow automation services to small and medium-sized businesses, including but not limited to:
- Workflow automation audits and strategy roadmaps
- Custom workflow and integration builds using platforms such as n8n, Make, and Zapier
- AI agent development and deployment
- Ongoing retainer-based automation management and support
- Consulting and advisory services related to AI operations
2.2 Service Agreements
Specific services, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for each engagement will be defined in a separate Statement of Work ("SOW"), proposal, or service agreement executed between GoldenFlow AI and the Client. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed SOW or service agreement, the terms of the signed SOW or service agreement shall control with respect to that specific engagement.
2.3 Changes to Services
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service offering at any time with reasonable notice. We will not materially alter services already contracted for in an active SOW without mutual written agreement.
3. Client Responsibilities
To enable us to deliver services effectively, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and timely information and access to systems, accounts, and data as reasonably required for the performance of services
- Designate an authorized point of contact responsible for approvals and communications
- Review and provide feedback on deliverables within the timeframes specified in the applicable SOW
- Ensure that any third-party software, platforms, or services you provide access to are properly licensed and that you have the authority to grant us access
- Not use our services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations
Delays caused by Client's failure to fulfill these responsibilities may result in timeline extensions or additional fees, which will be communicated in writing before being applied.
4. Payment Terms
4.1 Fees
Service fees will be set forth in the applicable SOW or proposal. All fees are in U.S. dollars. GoldenFlow AI reserves the right to update its standard pricing at any time; however, pricing agreed upon in a signed SOW will remain fixed for the duration of that engagement.
4.2 Invoicing and Payment
Invoices are due and payable within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified in the SOW. For retainer engagements, payment is due at the start of each billing cycle. Accepted payment methods include credit card, ACH transfer, and other methods communicated at the time of engagement.
4.3 Late Payments
Invoices not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date may be subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance, or the maximum rate permitted by Illinois law, whichever is lower. GoldenFlow AI reserves the right to suspend services for accounts more than thirty (30) days past due.
4.4 Refunds
All fees for completed work are non-refundable. For project-based engagements, if GoldenFlow AI fails to deliver agreed-upon deliverables due to our own fault, we will either cure the deficiency or provide a pro-rated refund for the undelivered portion of services. Retainer fees are non-refundable once a billing cycle has commenced.
4.5 Taxes
Client is responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, or levies arising from the services, excluding taxes on GoldenFlow AI's net income. If GoldenFlow AI is required by law to collect sales tax or other taxes on services provided to Client, such amounts will be added to invoices and are the Client's responsibility.
5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Client Ownership of Deliverables
Upon receipt of full payment for a project, GoldenFlow AI assigns to Client all right, title, and interest in the custom-built workflows, automation configurations, and other deliverables created specifically for that Client under the applicable SOW ("Work Product"), to the extent such Work Product does not incorporate GoldenFlow AI's pre-existing intellectual property or third-party tools.
5.2 GoldenFlow AI Retained IP
GoldenFlow AI retains ownership of all pre-existing intellectual property, methodologies, frameworks, templates, code libraries, tools, and know-how developed independently of any client engagement ("Background IP"). To the extent any Work Product incorporates Background IP, GoldenFlow AI grants Client a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use such Background IP solely in connection with the applicable Work Product.
5.3 Third-Party Tools
The services may incorporate third-party platforms, APIs, and tools (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier, OpenAI, Anthropic). Client's use of such third-party tools is subject to the respective third-party's terms of service. GoldenFlow AI makes no representations or warranties regarding third-party tools and is not responsible for changes to third-party platforms that affect delivered automations.
5.4 Website Content
All content on the GoldenFlow AI website, including text, graphics, logos, and design elements, is the property of GoldenFlow AI and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our website content without our prior written consent.
6. Confidentiality
Each party acknowledges that it may receive confidential or proprietary information belonging to the other party in connection with the services ("Confidential Information"). Each party agrees to:
- Hold the other party's Confidential Information in strict confidence
- Use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing or receiving the services
- Not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent, except to employees or contractors who need to know such information and are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations
Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to the receiving party, or is required to be disclosed by law or court order (provided the receiving party gives prompt written notice to allow the other party to seek a protective order).
These confidentiality obligations survive the termination of any service agreement for a period of three (3) years.
7. Disclaimers and Warranties
7.1 No Guarantee of Results
GoldenFlow AI does not guarantee any specific business outcome, revenue increase, cost savings, or operational result from the use of our services. Automation and AI systems are tools, and their effectiveness depends on many factors outside our control, including Client's business operations, data quality, and third-party platform performance.

7.3 AI and Automation Limitations
Client acknowledges that AI-powered systems may produce unexpected, inaccurate, or incomplete outputs. GoldenFlow AI is not liable for decisions made by Client based on automated outputs or AI-generated content. Client is responsible for reviewing automated outputs and maintaining appropriate human oversight of any automation deployed in their business.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOLDENFLOW AI'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CLIENT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ANY SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CLIENT TO GOLDENFLOW AI IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
IN NO EVENT SHALL GOLDENFLOW AI BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR REPUTATIONAL HARM, EVEN IF GOLDENFLOW AI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such cases, the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GoldenFlow AI and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- Client's use of the services in violation of these Terms or applicable law
- Client's breach of any representations, warranties, or obligations under these Terms
- Client's use of any automation or AI output in a manner that causes harm to a third party
- Any third-party claim arising from data or content provided by Client to GoldenFlow AI
