This is a plain-English summary, not the contract itself. Before service starts, you and Margin sign a short written Call Answering Service Agreement that governs the relationship. If anything here differs from that signed agreement, the signed agreement controls.
1What Margin does
Margin answers calls forwarded from your business line — 24/7, including nights and weekends — in your company's name, using a script you approve in writing. On each call it:
- Qualifies the caller (issue, address, contact) and books the appointment, or takes a structured job request
- Flags emergencies for immediate callback, per your instructions
- Sends the customer an SMS confirmation after booking (subject to carrier registration)
- Sends you a weekly summary: calls answered, jobs booked, and the details captured
2Price & billing
- $397/month, flat. No setup fee. Billed monthly in advance by card.
- Founding rate — $300/month for the first five shops, locked in for as long as service stays active, in exchange for an honest review.
- Includes up to 500 answered-call minutes per month; overage is $0.25/minute. Most businesses use 200–350.
- If a payment fails and isn't resolved within 7 days, service can be paused until it's caught up.
3Cancelling
- Month-to-month. No long-term contract.
- Either side can cancel with 7 days' written notice (a text or email counts). No cancellation fee. The current month isn't refunded.
- Your phone number is always yours — nothing to hand back.
4What Margin is not
- Margin doesn't guarantee a specific number of calls, bookings, or revenue.
- It's not an emergency dispatch service — emergencies are flagged and relayed to you, and responding is up to you.
- It can occasionally mishear; recordings and transcripts are available so you can verify critical details like addresses and times.
5Your data
- Call recordings and transcripts are used only to run and improve your service, and are available to you on request.
- Your customer data is never sold or shared with third parties.
- On cancellation, your customer data is deleted on written request.
6The fine print
- Total liability is limited to the fees you paid in the prior month. Margin isn't liable for indirect damages, lost profits, or outages caused by phone carriers or third-party services.
- Governed by Florida law; disputes are handled in Manatee County, Florida, after a 30-day good-faith effort to resolve them directly.
- You're responsible for texting consent and A2P registration details for your business, and for your own compliance with the laws that apply to it.
