Terms
Last updated 31 August 2026
These are the terms for businesses using Second Pair. If you are a member of the public who has messaged a business, the privacy page is the one you want.
What Second Pair does
Second Pair provides software that answers enquiries, gives price estimates, and takes bookings on your behalf, using your own settings, rates and wording.
The assistant works from what you give it. It quotes from the rates you enter and answers from the information you provide. If your settings are wrong, its answers will be wrong. Check them, and check them again when your prices change.
You are still the business
Estimates the assistant gives are estimates. The contract for the work is between you and your customer, and Second Pair is not a party to it. You are responsible for the work, for your prices, and for anything you have told the assistant to say.
You can read every conversation and take over any of them at any time. We strongly suggest you do read them, particularly in the first weeks.
Payments
Deposits are taken through Stripe and go to your own Stripe account. You pay Stripe’s standard rate for that. Second Pair does not take a cut of your deposits, does not hold your money, and is not a payment service.
Refunds, chargebacks and disputes with your customers are between you, them and Stripe.
Your data
Your business data and your customers’ details are yours. We do not sell them, share them with other businesses on Second Pair, or use them to train AI models.
Close your account and everything of yours is deleted. Export what you need first, because it does not come back.
Fair use
You must not use Second Pair to:
- Mislead anyone about whether they are talking to a person
- Give medical, legal or financial advice
- Send marketing to people who have not asked for it
- Break the law, or your own trade’s regulations
The assistant already refuses these. Configuring it to get around them is a breach of these terms.
Availability
We aim to keep Second Pair running at all times but cannot promise it. It depends on services we do not control, including Anthropic, Supabase, Stripe and Meta. If it is down, your enquiries wait rather than disappear.
Ending it
Notice period, subscription price, billing terms and the registered company name and address still need deciding. Tell me what they are and I will put them in rather than guess at them.
