Terms of Use
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using the doTask website (dotask.io), the doTask Chatbot, or engaging with our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to all of these terms, do not use our website or services.
These Terms of Use apply to all visitors, users, and clients of Dotask Enterprise, registration no. 202403036995 (003574878-D) ("doTask," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of our website and the terms under which we provide marketing, creative, technology, and related services.
These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect and use personal data. For clients engaged under a specific project or retainer, a separate Service Agreement or Statement of Work ("SOW") will govern the specific terms of that engagement. In the event of a conflict, the SOW takes precedence.

3. Accounts & access
Certain parts of our website or client portal may require you to create an account. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activities that occur under your account
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorised access
You must not share your login credentials with any third party. DoTask is not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised account access caused by your failure to keep credentials secure.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or that have been inactive for more than 24 months.
3A. Messaging service (doTask Chatbot)
The doTask Chatbot lets a business (a "merchant") connect its Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger account, or place a chat widget on its website, receive customer messages in one inbox, and answer them either personally or with replies generated automatically by an AI model. These additional terms apply to merchants who use it.
Your account and your customers
- You must own or be authorised to operate every account you connect. Connecting an account authorises us to receive its messages and send replies on its behalf, and nothing else.
- You are responsible for your customers' data. You confirm you have the right to have their messages processed by us and by our AI provider as described in our Privacy Policy, and you will tell your customers that automated replies may be used where the law requires it.
- You must comply with the terms and messaging policies of each platform you connect, including Meta's Platform Terms and its messaging policies for Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. If a platform suspends or restricts your account, we cannot restore it.
Google services you connect
- YouTube. Posting to a YouTube channel from doTask uses YouTube API Services. By connecting a channel you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google handles data under the Google Privacy Policy. You can remove doTask's access in doTask or at Google's security settings.
- Google Ads. If you connect a Google Ads account, you must follow the Google Ads policies, including the Customer Match policy: upload only customer data you collected yourself, with any consent the law requires, and say in your own privacy policy that you share customer data with service providers such as Google for advertising.
- Google Calendar and Business Profile. doTask uses them only to provide the features you switch on, as our Privacy Policy describes.
Automated replies
- Automated replies are generated by an AI model from the conversation and from the instructions and business information you provide. You are responsible for that information being accurate and for reviewing how the assistant answers.
- The assistant is designed to hand a conversation to you rather than guess, and it cannot take actions on your behalf (it cannot book, refund, or change orders). It may still make mistakes. Automated replies are sent in your name, and you remain responsible for them as you would be for any communication with your customers.
- You can take over any conversation at any time; automated replies stop while you have it.
Data and confidentiality
Your conversations are processed on your instructions as set out in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell them, do not train AI models on them, and do not use them for any other merchant. A data processing agreement is available on request.
Availability
Delivery of messages depends on the platforms (Meta and others) and on our providers. We monitor the service continuously and aim for it to be available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted delivery, and we are not responsible for messages a platform fails to deliver to us or to your customers.
Fees, term and termination
Fees for the doTask Chatbot are as set out in your order form or SOW. Section 6 (payment) and section 12 (termination) apply. When your access ends, we delete your conversations and disconnect your accounts as described in the Privacy Policy; you may export your conversations before then on request.
