These terms govern your use of ashtonvossai.com (the "Site"), the VAA Weekly newsletter (the "Newsletter"), and the Social Poster internal application at poster.ashtonvossai.com (the "App"), all operated by Ashton Voss, a sole operator based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Site, subscribing to the Newsletter, or interacting with content published through the App, you agree to these terms.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to subscribe to the Newsletter or otherwise use this Site. By using the Site, you represent that you meet this requirement.
2. The Newsletter
The VAA Weekly Newsletter is a free, opt-in educational publication covering voice AI, AI automation, AI agent development, and related topics. We make commercially reasonable efforts to send it weekly but make no guarantee of any specific publication schedule.
Newsletter content is for general educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, financial, legal, or technical advice for your specific situation.
3. Subscription and unsubscribe
Subscription is via explicit double opt-in only. You can unsubscribe at any time using the one-click unsubscribe link in any email or by emailing mail@ashtonvossai.com. See the Privacy Policy for full details.
4. Acceptable use
When using the Site, you agree not to:
- Submit false, misleading, or third-party email addresses
- Attempt to subscribe addresses you do not own or have permission to use
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or Newsletter infrastructure without authorisation
- Use any automated means (bots, scrapers, harvesters) to access or interact with the Site for purposes other than legitimate search-engine indexing
- Interfere with or disrupt the Site or Newsletter delivery
- Use the Site or Newsletter for any unlawful purpose
5. Intellectual property
All content on the Site and in the Newsletter — including text, graphics, design, code, logos, and the "Ashton Voss", "Ambotix AI", and "Voice AI Alliance" names and marks — is owned by Ashton Voss or licensed to us and is protected by Australian and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.
You may share Newsletter content with attribution and a link back to the original source. You may not republish, repackage, sell, or rebrand Newsletter content as your own.
6. Third-party links
The Site and Newsletter may link to third-party websites, products, or services (including but not limited to Ambotix AI, Voice AI Alliance on Skool, YouTube, Cal.com, and any tools we recommend). We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of any third-party site. Some links may be affiliate or partnership links; this does not change the price you pay.
7. Disclaimers
The Site and Newsletter are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that:
- The Site or Newsletter will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
- The information will be accurate, complete, or current
- Any techniques, code, or strategies discussed will produce specific results for your business
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any consumer guarantees you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable consumer-protection law that cannot be lawfully excluded.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ashton Voss is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or Newsletter, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunity.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability is limited to AUD $100 or, where applicable, the re-supply of the relevant service.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Ashton Voss harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal costs) arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the Site or Newsletter.
10. Social Poster app and platform integrations
The Social Poster app at poster.ashtonvossai.com is a single-tenant internal tool used by Ashton Voss to publish short-form video content to Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok and to operate keyword-triggered comment-to-DM automations on Instagram. These terms apply to anyone interacting with content published through the App or with automated responses produced by the App.
10.1 Single-tenant scope
The App is operated solely by Ashton Voss. No third-party user is permitted to authenticate with, log into, or operate the App. There is no public sign-up, no user account creation, and no access for parties other than the operator.
10.2 Content ownership
All video content, captions, and creative material published through the App is original content owned by Ashton Voss or licensed for use by Ashton Voss. The App does not republish, scrape, or redistribute content owned by third parties.
10.3 Comment-to-DM automations
If you comment on an Ashton Voss Instagram post containing a configured keyword (for example, the word "X" on a Reel that promotes a free resource), the App may send you a single direct message in response, within Meta's standard 24-hour messaging window. The App may also publish a short public reply to your comment indicating a DM has been sent. You can opt out of receiving further automated DMs by replying "STOP" to the conversation, by blocking the account, or by emailing mail@ashtonvossai.com with your Instagram handle. The App de-duplicates DM dispatches, so you will not receive the same automation more than once per Instagram account.
10.4 Acceptable use of automated responses
By commenting a triggering keyword on an Ashton Voss post, you consent to receiving the corresponding automated DM. We do not initiate cold outreach. We do not message users who have not first interacted with our content. We do not sell, share, or repurpose your Instagram username, Instagram-scoped user ID, or comment text outside of operating the automation and maintaining audit logs as described in our Privacy Policy.
10.5 Platform compliance
The App complies with the developer terms of each integrated platform: Meta's Platform Terms and Developer Policies, Google's YouTube API Services Terms, and TikTok's Developer Terms of Service. If any of those platforms determine that the App breaches their terms, we will adjust App behaviour to comply, including suspending the relevant integration if required.
10.6 No service guarantee for the App
The App is an internal tool. We do not offer it as a service, do not provide support to third parties, and make no guarantee of its availability, uptime, or future existence. Content published through the App is published at the operator's discretion.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and where appropriate, notified by email. Your continued use of the Site, Newsletter, or App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
12. Termination
We may suspend or remove your subscription at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these terms or are using the Newsletter or App in a way that risks harm to other subscribers, to our sender reputation, or to our standing with the integrated platforms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms, the Site, the Newsletter, or the App is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland, Australia.
