Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website bringtherain.ai (the "Site") and, together with a signed Service Agreement, the marketing services offered by The Rainmaker System ("Rainmaker," "we," "us"). By using the Site, requesting an audit or visibility test, booking a call, or purchasing services, you agree to these Terms. If you are acting on behalf of a law firm or other business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business.
1. What we are, and what we are not
The Rainmaker System provides marketing and online-visibility services: technical website optimization, structured data, content recommendations, directory and listing submissions, review-management guidance, and reporting on how third-party search engines and AI assistants respond to consumer-style queries.
- We are not a law firm. Nothing we publish or deliver is legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created with anyone. Clients are solely responsible for their own compliance with the rules of professional conduct that govern them, including advertising and solicitation rules of their state bar. We recommend every law-firm client review our deliverables against their bar's advertising rules before publication.
- We are not affiliated with, and do not control, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, Microsoft, Yelp, Expertise.com, Super Lawyers, Justia, FindLaw, Avvo, or any other search engine, AI assistant, directory, or platform referenced on this Site. All trademarks belong to their owners.
2. No guarantee of results
Search engines and AI assistants are third-party systems that change constantly, personalize their answers, and do not publish their rules. Their outputs vary by user, location, phrasing, and time, sometimes within the same hour.
- We do not and cannot guarantee that any engine will name, rank, recommend, or cite any business, or that it will do so consistently, or that any particular revenue, case volume, lead volume, or other business outcome will result.
- Anything on this Site describing past results, including our published audits and our own business's results, is a factual account of specific tests at a specific time. It is not a promise, prediction, or warranty of results for you.
- Any performance commitments we do make (such as a money-back guarantee window) are stated exclusively in the signed Service Agreement, not on this Site.
3. Audits, visibility tests, and published reports
Our audits and visibility reports document what public, third-party systems returned in response to consumer-style queries at the stated time, using the stated method. They are point-in-time snapshots of publicly observable outputs, offered as commentary and analysis in the ordinary course of comparing publicly available services.
- Reports describe the outputs of third-party systems; they are not statements that any business is of low quality, and they should not be read as disparagement of any firm. Where a report says a business was not named by an engine, that is a factual, reproducible observation about the engine's output, not about the business's merit.
- Because engines change continuously, a report may not reflect current outputs on the day you read it. We encourage anyone to re-run the documented queries themselves.
- If you believe a published report contains a factual error about your business, contact us at josh@bringtherain.ai and we will promptly review and correct any verified inaccuracy.
4. Services, fees, and the Service Agreement
Paid services are governed by a signed Service Agreement, which controls over these Terms where they differ. Unless that agreement says otherwise: setup fees are one-time and non-refundable once setup work has begun (except as provided by any money-back guarantee stated in the agreement); retainers are billed monthly in advance; minimum-term commitments are as stated in the agreement; and either party may terminate as the agreement provides. Fees are exclusive of taxes.
5. Client responsibilities
- You will provide accurate information about your business and timely access needed to perform the services (website, listings, review platforms).
- You are responsible for reviewing and approving content before it is published under your name, and for its compliance with laws and professional rules that apply to you.
- You will not use our services for any unlawful, deceptive, or infringing purpose.
6. Intellectual property
We retain all rights in our methods, software, agent systems, templates, and know-how. Upon full payment, deliverables created specifically for you (site content, schema, published files) are licensed to you for your business's use. Our name and marks may not be used without permission, except that clients may accurately state that they use our services.
7. Case studies
We identify clients in marketing materials only with their permission, given in the Service Agreement or in writing. Founding-client arrangements that include case-study rights are governed by the specific terms of that signed agreement.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SITE AND ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST CASES OR CLIENTS, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY; AND (B) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) IF YOU HAVE PAID US NOTHING. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, these limits apply to the fullest extent permitted.
10. Indemnification
You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your breach of these Terms, your violation of law or professional rules, or content and information you provide or approve for publication.
11. Dispute resolution: arbitration, no class actions
Before filing any claim, both parties agree to first attempt resolution informally by written notice and a good-faith 30-day discussion period. Any dispute not resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in Marin County, California, on an individual basis. BOTH PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Either party may instead bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court. These Terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflicts rules, and any proceeding not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts covering Marin County, California.
12. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date; continued use of the Site after changes means acceptance. Questions: josh@bringtherain.ai.
