Ask Lucilla

Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 10, 2026

Who we are and what these Terms cover. Ask Lucilla is a service of Lucilla, Inc., a Delaware corporation, operated in Canada by its affiliate 16699448 Canada Corporation (Toronto) (together, "Ask Lucilla," "Lucilla," "we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service apply to the Ask Lucilla app (Android package com.lucilla.rewards; on iOS, "Ask Lucilla: Local Deals Agent"), the website asklucilla.com, and the Lucilla agent in the app, by text message (SMS) and on WhatsApp. Ask Lucilla finds deals, products and services nearby: you ask, and the agent searches what local businesses list, their prices and their deals. Businesses get listed, see what customers are asking for, and make promos.

The Lucilla fitness app is a separate service with its own account and its own terms at lucilla.app; these Terms do not cover it.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Ask Lucilla or texting our number ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Ask Lucilla Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a business, you accept these Terms for that business and confirm you are authorized to do so.

2. Eligibility

3. Your Account

4. The Lucilla Assistant

Ask Lucilla includes an AI assistant that you can talk to in the app (by typing, with voice notes, or in a live voice conversation) and by SMS or WhatsApp. It suggests places, deals, products, services, rewards, events and people based on what you ask.

5. SMS / Text Messaging Program

Ask Lucilla operates a text-message program at +1 (314) 237-4046 (SMS and WhatsApp).

Messages you ask for. When you text or WhatsApp our number, we reply. Replies to your messages and transactional messages you ask for — codes, receipts, ticket, booking and order updates, business listing confirmations and alerts you request — are sent without any further consent.

Optional consent for proactive messages. When you add your phone number in the app, an optional box, unticked by default, asks whether Lucilla's agent may text or WhatsApp you on its own initiative: for customers, deal alerts nearby, a heads-up when something you asked for shows up, reminders and group matches; for businesses, messages when nearby people want what you offer, reminders, group matches and useful finds. Ticking it, opting in at asklucilla.com/sms, or texting START is your agreement to receive those automated marketing messages from Ask Lucilla. This consent is optional and not needed to use Lucilla or to buy anything.

Your mobile information and messaging consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. See our Ask Lucilla Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.

6. Claiming and Using Rewards

6.1 Reward types

Rewards are created and funded by businesses, creators and event hosts ("Providers"), not by Lucilla. Ask Lucilla supports:

6.2 Claim methods

6.3 Limits and requirements

6.4 No wagering; free chance rewards

6.5 No fee on reward claims

Ask Lucilla charges no platform fee on reward claims or USDC reward payouts, on any plan (Section 7.7). If that changes, we will give at least 30 days' notice and show the fee in the app when a reward is created; the fee in effect when a payout is made applies.

6.6 Promo rewards

A promo reward is a promise by the business, not by Lucilla. The business is solely responsible for honoring it, and any dispute about a discount, product or service is between you and the business. Lucilla does not hold funds for promo discounts.

6.7 Event tickets and escrow

6.7a Buying from businesses: pay in person, pay ahead, online shops and delivery

6.8 Your responsibilities when claiming

7. Terms for Businesses, Creators and Event Hosts

7.1 Provider responsibility

Lucilla is a technology platform that connects Providers with nearby users. Lucilla does not own, operate, staff, supervise, inspect, or control any Provider’s premises, products, services, events, or in-person activities, and is not a party to any transaction, visit, reward redemption, or event between a Provider and a user.

Providers are solely and fully responsible for everything they offer, host, promote, or fulfill through Lucilla — including any reward, promotion, in-person visit, experience, or event (“Provider Activities”). Each Provider represents, warrants, and agrees that it will:

Lucilla disclaims all responsibility and liability for Provider Activities and for any act, omission, injury, illness, property damage, loss, dispute, or harm arising from or relating to a Provider’s premises, products, services, events, rewards, or in-person interactions. Each Provider agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lucilla and its affiliates, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, penalties, fines, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to that Provider’s Activities, content, or breach of these Terms or any law.

7.2 Listings and content

7.3 Funding USDC campaigns

7.4 Unclaimed funds

7.5 Staff and team

7.6 Customer data

7.7 Business plans and fees

7.8 Getting paid, refunds and taxes

8. USDC Wallet & Cryptocurrency

Important: USDC transactions are processed on the Base blockchain. Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. We are not responsible for lost funds due to user error.

9. Groups, Matching and Community Events

10. Content & Conduct

Your use of the Service must follow the Ask Lucilla Community Rules, which form part of these Terms and cover conduct in groups and matching, reviews, business posts and prohibited rewards.

10.1 Your content

10.2 Prohibited conduct

You may NOT:

10.3 Zero tolerance for objectionable content

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive users. You agree not to post, upload, transmit, or share any content that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, hateful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, violent, bullying, discriminatory, or otherwise offensive, and not to engage in abusive behavior toward any other user or business. We aim to review reports promptly and will remove offending content and eject the user who provided it, including by suspending or permanently terminating accounts, in our sole discretion and without prior notice. Report objectionable content or users to social@lucilla.ca.

11. Political Campaign Rewards

Rewards offered by political committees are subject to the disclosures at asklucilla.com/political. To claim one you must provide the information the committee is required to collect and confirm you are eligible. Lucilla does not endorse any candidate or committee.

12. Intellectual Property

All content, features, functionality, software, designs, and technology of the Service are owned by Ask Lucilla or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws, including the Lucilla name and logo (trademarks of Lucilla, Inc.), the pay-per-visit foot-traffic attribution system (patent pending), the geo-reward distribution system and algorithms, the Mystery Reward randomization mechanism, and the two-step Geo + QR redemption process. See the License Agreement and Copyright Policy.

13. Connected Services and Business Data Imports

Business owners may link third-party services (including Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Drive, YouTube, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp Business, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Shopify, WooCommerce, Toast, QuickBooks and Xero) to their business account. You may only link accounts you are authorised to use, and you are responsible for the accuracy of anything imported from them. Imports are previewed before they change your listing, and nothing imported overwrites edits you made in Ask Lucilla without your confirmation. Linking a service does not transfer any of your rights in that service to us, and each service remains subject to its own terms. You can unlink a service at any time; content already imported stays in your listing until you remove it.

Where a linked service is used to deliver messages from customers (Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp), you remain the sender of every reply and must comply with that platform's messaging rules, including the time windows and opt-in requirements they impose. Where a linked service records orders in your point of sale, the point-of-sale provider remains your system of record and Ask Lucilla never processes the payment inside it.

14. Connecting an AI Agent

You may authorise an AI assistant of your choice to use your Ask Lucilla account through our agent connection. By approving a connection you confirm that the agent acts on your instructions and that you are responsible for what it does with the permissions you grant it, in the same way as if you had done it yourself. We limit each connection to the permissions you selected, ask for an explicit confirmation before any action with a consequence, and let you revoke the connection at any time. We do not control the agent provider and are not responsible for its availability, its accuracy, or how it presents information to you. If a connection is used in a way that breaks these Terms or appears compromised, we may suspend it without notice.

15. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party services including Google (Firebase, Google Cloud, Vertex AI Gemini, Maps), Twilio, WhatsApp/Meta, Circle, Stripe, Coinbase and Resend. We are not responsible for third-party services or their terms.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of third-party rights. Providers additionally indemnify Lucilla as set out in Section 7.1.

18. Termination

19. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
