Offer for the use of the Answerolog service
Version dated 27 July 2026
This offer is a proposal by Individual Entrepreneur Artem Valerievich Starostin (hereinafter — the Licensor) to enter into a license agreement (hereinafter — the Agreement) on the terms set out below.
The offer is addressed to a legally competent individual aged 18 or over, to an individual entrepreneur or to a legal entity (hereinafter — the User).
Please read this offer before you start using the Service. If you have questions, write to starostin.media@gmail.com or to Telegram @starosting.
One feature of this Service deserves your attention before you connect. The Service prepares draft replies to reviews, but it does not publish them. The reply is published by the User personally, and the published text is a statement made by the User — with all the consequences that follow. This is covered by Section 9. The Service also processes reviews written by visitors of the Venue: Section 12 contains an instruction to process personal data, under which the User assumes the obligations of an operator in respect of the authors of reviews about their own Venue.
1. Definitions
Service — the Licensor's software: a chatbot available in the Telegram and MAX messengers, and the website at https://answerolog.com. The Service is intended for collecting reviews about a food service venue and preparing draft replies to them.
Platforms — the services where reviews about venues are published: 2GIS, Flamp, Yandex Maps. The current list of Platforms is published on the Website.
Venue — a food service business (café, restaurant, coffee shop, bar, bakery, fast food outlet) whose listing on the Platforms is connected to the Service.
Review — a message about the Venue published by its author on a Platform in public access, together with the rating, the publication date and the name or nickname stated by the author.
Draft Reply — a version of the text of a reply to a Review, prepared by the Service using AI Models and intended for the User to publish personally.
Acceptance — the full and unconditional acceptance by the User of the terms of the Agreement. Acceptance is deemed to be:
- connecting a Venue to the Service;
- taking actions aimed at paying for the Plan (pressing the payment button, confirming a payment and other actions that express the intention to pay).
Plan — the terms concerning the amount of the license fee, the subscription period and the scope of access to the functionality of the Service. The current Plans are published at https://answerolog.com.
Subscription — the right to use the Service in respect of one Venue during the paid period on the terms of the selected Plan.
AI Models — the artificial intelligence systems used by the Service to prepare Draft Replies and to analyse Reviews.
2. Subject of the Agreement
2.1. The Licensor grants the User a simple (non-exclusive) license to use the Service on the terms of the selected Plan.
2.2. One Subscription grants the right to use the Service in respect of one Venue. Several Venues require a corresponding number of Subscriptions.
2.3. Use of the Service means obtaining access to the functionality, the composition of which is determined by the Plan.
3. Functionality of the Service
3.1. The Service provides the following features:
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Connecting a Venue | Using the name and address provided by the User, finds the Venue's listing on the Platforms and shows it to the User for confirmation. Access to the User's account on the Platforms is not required. |
| Review feed | Monitors the listing of the confirmed Venue on the Platforms and sends new Reviews to the messenger: the text of the Review, the rating, the date, the name of the Platform and a link to open it on the Platform. |
| Three reply options | For each Review, prepares three Draft Replies that differ in tone: friendly, creative and formal. The User picks the suitable one and copies its text. The User selects the authoring model in the Bot settings. |
| Analysis of recurring complaints | Once a week, sends a summary of the Reviews for the period: which complaint topics recur. |
3.2. The Service does not: publish replies on behalf of the User on any Platform; request access to the User's account on the Platforms, or request or store the User's logins and passwords; delete Reviews or influence how they are displayed or ranked, or the rating of the Venue; contact the authors of Reviews on behalf of the User.
How a reply gets published
3.3. The reply is published on the Platform by the User personally: the User copies the text of the selected Draft Reply and posts it on the Platform by the User's own means.
3.4. The User may edit the text of a Draft Reply before publication, publish it unchanged, or not publish it at all. The choice of option, the wording of the text, the moment of publication and the very fact of publication are determined solely by the User.
4. Getting started
4.1. Connecting a Venue and confirming the listing that was found are performed free of charge: the User makes sure that the Service has found the right Venue before paying.
4.2. Until the Subscription is activated, the Service does not send the User any Reviews or Draft Replies.
4.3. Sending of Reviews and Draft Replies begins from the moment the Subscription is activated and stops at the end of the paid period. Operation resumes once the Plan is paid for.
5. How the Service operates
5.1. The Licensor grants the User the right to use the Service for the term specified in the selected Plan.
5.2. The Licensor's obligation to grant the right of use is deemed performed from the moment the Subscription is activated after the funds are credited to the Licensor's bank account.
5.3. The Service operates in respect of the Venue listing that the User has confirmed. The User is responsible for choosing the correct listing; the choice can be changed by contacting support.
Sources of Reviews
5.4. Reviews reach the Service from public access on the Platforms. The Licensor does not own the Platforms, does not manage them and has no contractual relations with them on behalf of the User.
5.5. The Platforms are checked periodically. The completeness and the speed of delivery of Reviews depend on how the Platforms operate, therefore the Licensor does not guarantee that every Review will be received, or received immediately.
5.6. The list of Platforms may change, including for reasons beyond the Licensor's control. The current list is published on the Website.
5.7. The Licensor may set technical limits aimed at preventing excessive load. The Licensor notifies the User when such limits are applied.
6. Data retention periods
6.1. Reviews, the Draft Replies prepared and the Venue settings are stored for the term of the Subscription.
6.2. The initial recording and the storage of data are carried out on a server located in the territory of the Russian Federation.
6.3. After the Subscription ends, the data of the corresponding Venue are deleted within 30 calendar days.
6.4. Information that the Licensor is required to keep by law (including information about payments) is stored for the periods established by law.
7. License fee
7.1. The User pays the license fee in the amount specified in the selected Plan, on a 100% prepayment basis, by cashless transfer in Russian roubles. The price as at the date of publication of this version is 555 roubles per month for one Venue.
7.2. The fee is charged for each connected Venue. The monthly charge equals the price of one Venue multiplied by the number of the User's active Venues, and it is debited as a single payment. When the second and each subsequent Venue is connected, the Service shows the User the new charge amount and asks for confirmation; without confirmation the Venue is not connected.
7.3. The fee does not include the commissions of banks and payment systems.
7.4. The Licensor applies the simplified taxation system and is not a VAT payer.
7.5. Payments are accepted through the YooKassa payment service. The payment obligation is deemed performed from the moment the full amount is credited to the Licensor's bank account.
7.6. The User may enable automatic renewal of the Subscription with the fee charged to a linked bank card. In this case:
- the charge is made monthly, on the date corresponding to the date of the first payment;
- the User receives notice of the upcoming charge at least 3 calendar days in advance;
- the User may unlink the card and cancel automatic renewal at any moment — with a button in the bot itself;
- unlinking the card stops future charges, but it does not terminate the period already paid for and does not entail a refund for that period.
7.7. If a payment fails, the Licensor allows 3 calendar days during which the Service keeps working. After that period, operation of the Service for the corresponding Venue is suspended.
7.8. The Licensor sends the payment receipt in the manner prescribed by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
7.9. The Licensor may change the amount of the fee and the terms of the Plans by publishing the changes on the website at least 7 calendar days before they take effect. The amount of the fee already paid and the terms of an activated Subscription do not change until the end of the paid period.
7.10. The User's payment obligations are deemed unperformed if the funds were returned at the request of the payment system or the bank (chargeback). In this case the Licensor may suspend the provision of access.
7.11. For legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, payment is made on the basis of an issued invoice. If the User does not send substantiated objections within 30 calendar days from the date of payment, the services are deemed to have been rendered properly.
8. Withdrawal from the Agreement and refunds
8.1. Before paying, the User has access to connecting a Venue, checking that the listing found is correct, the full description of the features of the Service and the terms of the Plan on the Website. The terms are published in advance and allow the User to assess whether the Service is suitable for the User's purposes before paying.
8.2. To obtain a refund, the User sends a request to starostin.media@gmail.com or to Telegram @starosting.
8.3. A refund of 100% of the amount paid is made if the reason for the request is a defect or a breach on the Licensor's side, including:
- a technical failure that prevents use of the Service;
- failure to provide, or improper provision of, access to the Plan paid for;
- charges for features not covered by the Plan;
- other material breaches of the Licensor's obligations;
- other cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
8.4. No refund is made if the Service operated in accordance with the Plan and the request is not related to defects on the Licensor's side, in particular where:
- the User was not satisfied with the quality of the wording of the Draft Replies produced by the AI Models;
- during the paid period no Reviews about the Venue were published, or there were fewer of them than the User expected;
- publishing replies did not lead to the result the User expected: a change in the rating, in the ranking or in the number of guests;
- the User is not satisfied with the prices or with the contents of the Plan;
- the User changed their mind about using the Service.
In the cases listed above the services are deemed rendered, since access was provided and the set of features and the terms of the Plan were published in advance in accordance with clause 8.1.
8.5. A request is reviewed within 10 calendar days from the moment it is received. The Licensor may request additional information; in that case the period runs from the moment such information is provided.
8.6. A refund is made by the same method that was used for the payment, unless otherwise agreed with the User.
8.7. No refund is made if the User initiated a chargeback without first contacting the Licensor, nor where access was suspended because the User breached the terms of the Agreement or the legislation of the Russian Federation.
8.8. Upon withdrawal from the Agreement, access to the Service is terminated within 24 hours from the moment the decision on the request is taken. The Venue's data are deleted in accordance with clause 6.3.
9. Draft Replies and the output of the AI Models
What this section means in plain words. The Service gives you a draft — three versions of a text. You decide whether to publish it, in what form and when. As soon as the text appears on a Platform, it is a public statement made by you on behalf of your venue, not a statement made by the Licensor.
9.1. Draft Replies are generated automatically using AI Models and are advisory in nature. A Draft Reply is a proposed version of a text, not a finished statement by the Licensor.
9.2. The Licensor does not guarantee that Draft Replies are accurate, complete, free of errors or appropriate in a particular situation. The User must read the text before publication and may edit it.
9.3. A published text is a statement made by the User, on the User's behalf and under the User's responsibility, regardless of whether it was edited before publication or published unchanged. The User is responsible for the content of the published text.
9.4. The Licensor is not liable for the consequences of publication, including for: claims by the authors of Reviews and by other third parties; demands from the Platforms and from state authorities; the published text being construed as an admission of guilt, a promise, an offer or consent to compensation; consequences for the User's business reputation.
9.5. The Licensor does not guarantee that use of the Service or publication of replies will influence the rating of the Venue, its ranking, the position of its listing on a Platform, the number and the tone of future Reviews, or the number of visitors to the Venue.
9.6. The Service does not delete Reviews. A Review can be deleted only by a decision of the Platform and in accordance with its rules. The Platforms delete reviews that breach their rules, not reviews that contain a negative assessment. The Licensor does not influence such decisions and does not guarantee their outcome or their timing.
9.7. The Licensor is not liable for decisions taken by the User on the basis of the output of the AI Models, including management decisions based on the analysis of recurring complaints.
9.8. The Licensor may use anonymized information about the operation of the Service (technical metrics, request statistics, quality indicators of Draft Replies) to improve the Service. Anonymization is performed irreversibly.
10. Limitation of liability
10.1. The Service is provided on an “as is” basis.
10.2. The Licensor does not guarantee: that the Service is fit for the User's particular purposes; uninterrupted operation; the absence of errors; the receipt of each and every Review from the Platforms; the retention of data beyond the periods specified in Section 6.
10.3. The Licensor is not liable for:
- inability to use the Service for reasons beyond the Licensor's control: unavailability of the Platforms, changes in their rules, in their technical interfaces and in the ways they display reviews; restriction of access to them; failures of the Telegram and MAX messengers; failures of AI Model providers; problems with the User's internet connection; actions of state authorities;
- the time the Platforms take to moderate replies and Reviews, and the decisions of the Platforms to publish, reject or delete any text;
- the acts and omissions of third parties: the owners of the Platforms, messenger operators, hosting providers, telecom operators, payment systems and banks;
- the content of Reviews published by third parties and the accuracy of that content;
- unlawful use by third parties of the User's messenger account credentials.
10.4. The Licensor's liability towards legal entities and individual entrepreneurs is limited to the amount of the fee paid for the most recent active Subscription. For individuals, the limitation applies to the extent permitted by consumer protection legislation.
10.5. If third parties bring claims against the Licensor in connection with the User's breach of the Agreement or of the law (including claims by the authors of Reviews and by the Platforms), the User undertakes to provide the necessary information, to take part in resolving the matter and to reimburse the Licensor for the costs incurred.
10.6. The Parties are released from liability for failure to perform their obligations as a result of force majeure, including: hardware and software failures of infrastructure; restriction or termination of the operation of the Platforms and messengers; actions of state authorities; natural disasters; military action; cyberattacks; sanctions restrictions. For the Licensor, publication of information on the website is deemed notice of such circumstances. If the circumstances last more than 60 calendar days, either Party may withdraw from the Agreement; in that case a User who is an individual is refunded the fee in proportion to the unused period.
11. The User's obligations and representations
11.1. The User undertakes to use the Service in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, with this Agreement and with the rules of the Platforms.
11.2. The User is prohibited from:
- connecting to the Service Venues that the User does not own and in respect of which the User is not authorised to take such a decision;

12. Instruction to process the personal data of the authors of Reviews
What this section means in plain words. A review about your venue was written by a real person, and that person published it themselves, in public access. The name and the text are that person's personal data. The decision to collect reviews about your own venue and to prepare replies to them is yours, which means that under the law you become the operator of those data, while the Licensor acts as the processor, acting on your instruction and only for the purposes you have defined. You are responsible for the lawfulness of the processing; the Licensor is responsible to you for keeping the data secure and for following your instruction.

The procedure and the conditions of such transfer are described in the Privacy and Personal Data Processing Policy.
