Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By signing up for and using TMJCrew ("the Service"), operated by Astario Systems Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

TMJCrew is an AI-powered accountability and motivational companion delivered by text message. The Service provides regular check-ins, follow-ups, goal tracking, and occasional shares of things relevant to what you're building. An invite-only paid membership ("the Crew") adds introductions to other members.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using TMJCrew, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age.

4. Account and Phone Number

Your TMJCrew account is linked to your phone number. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your phone number and any interactions conducted through it. You consent to receiving SMS messages from TMJCrew at the phone number you provide.

5. SMS Consent and TCPA Compliance

By providing your phone number and signing up, you expressly consent to receive recurring automated SMS messages from TMJCrew. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by texting STOP. Text HELP for help.

6. Pricing and Payments

Using Ben is free. To keep the Service sustainable, we may limit message volume for fair use. Crew membership is a paid subscription, offered by invitation; the price is shown to you by text and at checkout before you pay. Payments are processed through Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically. You may cancel at any time, and your access continues through the end of the current billing period.

7. AI-Generated Content

TMJCrew uses artificial intelligence to generate messages. While we strive for helpful and accurate responses, AI-generated content should not be considered professional advice (financial, legal, medical, or otherwise). Use your own judgment when making decisions. Ben is an AI, not a person, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ben Levy.

If you text READ, Ben writes a short read on you and texts you a link to it. Anyone with the link can see it, with your first name. Text UNSHARE to take it down.

8. Limitation of Liability

TMJCrew is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to lost profits, business interruption, or loss of data.

9. Crew Matching

Crew matching is part of Crew membership and introduces you to other TMJCrew members. Joining the Crew switches it on, and you can turn it off in settings at any time. Introductions are chosen by a person at TMJCrew. While it's on, Ben may share an anonymised summary of your goals and accountability traits (no name, no phone number) with a potential match, and share theirs with you, so you can each decide whether you want an introduction.

Introductions are double opt-in. Your first name and phone number are only shared with another member after you have both approved the match — and the preview message tells you this before you decide. You can withdraw at any time by turning crew matching off in settings or by texting STOP, which cancels any pending introductions. We keep a record of matches (including declined and expired ones) so the same pairing isn't proposed twice; this record is deleted when you delete your account. You are responsible for your own conduct with anyone you are introduced to; Ben makes introductions, not guarantees.

Members also get a weekly crew intel text listing members' asks and offers, anonymised (no names, company names or contact details). Your crew profile is only included while matching is on.

10. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
