Terms of Service

Who provides TelePost

TelePost is a product and service of Frontera Consulting Group LLC, McAllen, Texas. Where these terms say "the operator", that is who they mean, and it is who you are contracting with.

What TelePost does

TelePost finds stories in your field, calls you, interviews you about one, and turns what you said into a draft article, a social caption, and prompts for artwork. You review everything. Nothing is published anywhere until you approve it.

Getting an account

Access is by invitation during early access. You need to be 18 or older, give accurate details, and keep your sign-in credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

Recorded calls

TelePost places outbound calls to the number you give it and records them. The call says so before asking anything, and you can end it there.

If you bring another person onto a call, obtaining their consent is your responsibility. Several US states and many countries require every party to a recorded call to agree. TelePost cannot verify that for you.

What you publish is yours — and your responsibility

You own your transcripts and the articles produced from them. TelePost claims no rights over them beyond what is needed to operate the service for you.

Call audio is not kept indefinitely. A recording is held while your piece is being written and reviewed — it is what lets a mis-heard name be checked against what was actually said — and is deleted when the piece is published. A call that never produces a published piece has its audio deleted within 30 days. What remains is the transcript, which is yours.

You also answer for what goes out under your name. The drafts are generated by an AI model from your own words and can still be wrong, garbled, or unintentionally revealing. Read what it wrote before you approve it. Approval is the point at which it becomes yours.

Do not use TelePost to publish anything unlawful, defamatory, or infringing, to impersonate anyone, or to disclose confidential information you are not free to share — including your employer's.

Connected accounts, and what TelePost will not do

Nothing goes out automatically. TelePost does not auto-share, schedule, or publish anything to a third party on its own. When an article is ready it is published to your own blog here, you are told, and the wording and artwork for each service are prepared for you to post yourself.

There is one exception and it is not a default. TelePost Boost can send an approved article to destinations you have connected. It requires all three of: Boost switched on for your account, your acceptance of the Boost terms, and you pressing Boost on that specific article. Nothing is ever sent on a schedule, and nothing is sent from an article you have not approved. Where a destination has no posting interface, Boost prepares a link for you rather than claiming to have posted.

Connecting an account is used to sign you in and to fill in your profile. You can disconnect at any time under Connections, and revoke access from the service's own settings as well. Each of those services has its own terms, and using TelePost does not exempt you from them.

Brand campaigns

Some interviews are collected for a company — you register on that company's page, and the call is about a product you already use. Three things are true of every one of them.

The call is recorded, and you are told so before it starts. The interviewer says it in its first sentence, along with who it is calling on behalf of.

You see the piece before anyone else does. When the interview has been written up it is emailed to you. You can approve it as it stands, open it and change anything, or do nothing. Approving it sends it on immediately and tells the company it is final.

If you leave it alone for 24 hours, that version is final. It is sent to you and to the company as written. You are told this before the call, again on the call, and again in the email carrying the draft — so that silence never means something you were not warned about.

After that there are two copies. Yours is yours: publish it wherever you like, on your own site or anywhere else. The company's copy is theirs to quote, reference and publish — that is what they collected it for.

If you upload a photograph, it is used only if you tick the box granting the company permission to use it. Without that tick the photograph is kept against your interview and never published. The moment you gave permission is recorded.

Costs

Your account is free while you are on early access, and it stays free until you are told otherwise. Early access is coming to an end, and if pricing is going to apply to your account you will hear about it before it does — never as a surprise charge, and never for something you have already had.

Paid plans are available now for anyone who wants one. The prices are on the pricing page, and if you choose one you are charged from the moment you subscribe. You can cancel at any time and keep everything you have made.

The AI and telephony behind TelePost are paid for by the operator, so heavy or automated use may be rate-limited on a free account.

Availability, and no warranty

This is early-access software running on a single server. It may lose data, miss a scheduled call, mis-transcribe you, or generate something wrong. It is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.

Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose. Do not build a commitment to a third party on TelePost publishing something on time.

Limits of liability

To the extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for indirect or consequential loss — lost profits, lost opportunities, or reputational harm — arising from your use of TelePost. Since the service is free, any direct liability is limited to what you paid for it.

Nothing here limits liability for anything that cannot lawfully be limited.

Ending it

You can stop at any time, and you can ask for your data to be deleted straight away rather than waiting.

If you simply stop paying, this is what happens. Your published articles stay live for 90 days — the same addresses, the same feeds — so anybody you have sent to them still arrives. Calls stop immediately: there is no free allowance, and there never was meant to be one.

At the end of those 90 days the account and everything in it is deleted: the articles, the drafts, the transcripts and the account itself. This cannot be undone. You are warned by email three times first — at 30 days, 7 days and the day before — and subscribing again at any point stops it, with nothing lost.

Two things outlive the deletion, and neither of them identifies you. The security log keeps a record that an account was deleted, because a log that can be quietly erased is not a log, and it no longer names anybody. Anything TelePost committed to your own website repository is on your GitHub, under your control, and is yours to remove.

The operator may suspend an account that is being used to break these terms or that puts the service or other users at risk, and will say why.

Changes

These terms may change as the product does. Material changes will be communicated to account holders directly, not through a silent edit.

Privacy

What is collected and who it is shared with is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
