1. Purpose
The purpose of these Terms is to govern the Client's access to and use of AIGENT, an AI-driven conversational and engagement platform provided by the Company. These Terms set out the rights and obligations of the Parties regarding:

3. Scope of the Services
3.1 Service Description
AIGENT provides an AI-driven conversational and engagement system that supports inbound and outbound communication, customer qualification, follow-up automation, administrative workflows, multilingual capabilities, and integrations with supported third-party platforms (the "Services"). Service availability and specific integrations depend on API access, platform limitations, and technical feasibility.
3.2 Deliverables
- Voice Profile & Interaction. Configurable voice profiles (e.g., male/female), with selectable language, accent, and locale (availability may vary by provider).
- Knowledge Base. An AI knowledge base combining industry standards with Client-provided policies, instructions, scripts, and data per §5 (Changes & Revisions).
- Custom Scripts & Behaviors. Conversation, logic, flows and workflows tailored to the Client's requirements and approved per §5 and §7.4 (UAT).
- Transcripts & Reports. Call/chat transcripts; weekly ops reports and a monthly performance report. Recording and disclosure prompts are handled within the calling workflow per §11.2.
- CRM & Calendar Sync. Real-time synchronization with the Client's supported CRM and calendar systems, subject to API limits and Client credentials.
- Performance Dashboard. A live KPI dashboard (activity, conversions, outcomes) with named-user access.
- Operating Hours. Configurable up to 24/7. Outbound calling will observe the outreach limits in §11.2 and applicable law; inbound features may operate 24/7.
- Adaptive Configuration. Ongoing updates, improvements, and reconfiguration within the agreed scope per §5.
3.3 Exclusions & Boundaries
The Services do not include (i) legal, tax, or brokerage services; (ii) human sales/deals closure on behalf of Client; (iii) creation of Client's regulatory authorizations or permits; (iv) unlimited custom analytics beyond the standard KPI pack; or (v) integrations not listed unless separately agreed as a Major Revision.
3.4 Completion of AIGENT's Responsibilities (Deliverable Completion Rule)
AIGENT's role in respect of any Client lead is deemed fully performed once any one of the following outcomes occurs:
(a) Successful Contact & Qualification.
The AI successfully reaches the lead and completes the qualification workflow, including collection of information relating to location preferences, property type, budget, timeline, intent, and other relevant criteria.
(b) Meeting or Viewing Booked.
The AI schedules a meeting, call, or site visit between the lead and the Client (or Client-designated broker/agent) through the Client's approved calendar or booking channel.
(c) Lead Determined Non-Qualified or Waste.
The AI determines and evidences that the lead is not a genuine opportunity, including where the lead: provides inaccurate information, is not a real prospect, has no purchase intent, provides disqualifying criteria, or otherwise fails qualification standards agreed under §7.2.
(d) Lead Determined Non-Responsive.
The AI makes multiple, varied outreach attempts (calls, messages, and/or follow-up efforts) and the lead is confirmed as non-responsive or unreachable.
(e) Compliance Outcome (DNCR / Opt-Out).
The AI identifies that the number is listed on the DNCR, the lead opts out or requests not to be contacted, or outreach is otherwise prohibited under §11.2.
In these cases, the lead is deemed closed, processed, and qualified for KPI purposes. For clarity, once any outcome in §3.4(a)–(e) occurs, the lead is considered fully processed for KPI and contractual purposes.
4. Pricing, Billing & Payment Terms
