Terms of Service
Effective July 29, 2026
These terms govern your use of ReferBound, a referral-tracking service operated by Cert Alert CRM LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“we,” “us”). By creating an account or using a referral portal, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.
1. What ReferBound is
ReferBound lets insurance agents share live referral status with their referral partners (lenders, realtors, CPAs, and others), exchange documents once policies are bound, and manage those relationships. It is a communication and tracking tool. It is not an insurance product, does not provide insurance, legal, or financial advice, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any insurance carrier.
2. Accounts
You must provide accurate information and keep your password secure — you're responsible for activity under your account. Agency-plan owners are responsible for the teammates they invite. You must be at least 18 and using the service for business purposes.
3. Client information and your responsibilities
Agents and partners submit information about insurance clients (names, contact details, property addresses, documents like loan applications and evidence of insurance). By submitting it, you confirm you have the legal right and any necessary consent to share that information for the purpose of placing or servicing insurance. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to your profession, including privacy, licensing, and (for referral arrangements) anti-rebating and referral-fee rules in your state.
Magic links and referral-board links grant access to referral information without a login. Treat them like passwords: share them only with the people who should see that information. We can rotate a link on request.
4. Acceptable use
Don't use ReferBound to send spam, harvest data, upload malicious files, misrepresent who you are, access other users' data, or do anything unlawful. We may suspend accounts that do.
5. Emails and text messages (SMS)
The service sends transactional emails on your behalf to your partners and, when you request it, to your clients (for example, review requests). You're responsible for having a business relationship with the recipients. Partners can ask you — or us — to stop non-essential emails at any time.
SMS program terms. ReferBound Notifications sends transactional text messages about referral activity — for example, that a referred client has been quoted or that insurance documents are ready — to referral partners and contacts who opt in by checking the SMS consent box. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message frequency varies with referral activity. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to cancel and stop receiving texts; reply HELP or email hello@stonebind.com for help. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. How we handle phone numbers and consent is described in the Privacy Policy — mobile information is never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
6. Plans and billing
The Free plan includes one partner. Paid plans (Pro, Agency) bill monthly through Stripe and renew automatically until canceled. You can cancel anytime via the billing portal; access continues through the paid period. Prices may change with at least 30 days' notice. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or where we choose to issue a refund.
7. Your data
Your data is yours. You can export your referrals as a CSV at any time and delete your account from the Profile page, which permanently removes your partners, referrals, messages, and documents. How we handle data is described in the Privacy Policy.
8. AI features
Some features use artificial intelligence (document extraction, drafted emails and replies). AI output can be wrong — always review extracted data and drafts before relying on or sending them. You are responsible for what you send.
9. Service availability and changes
We work hard to keep ReferBound available and improving, but it's provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We may add, change, or remove features. We'll give reasonable notice of changes that materially reduce the service.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cert Alert CRM LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost business, or lost data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (or $100 if you paid nothing). Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
11. Termination
You can stop using the service or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with notice where practical. Sections that by their nature survive (data responsibilities, liability limits, governing law) survive termination.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the service evolves. If a change is material, we'll notify account holders by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated terms.
