04. Onboarding & Black Friday Cutoff
Important Operational Standard: Setup Verification
Setting up a dedicated email sending infrastructure requires real upfront technical work: sender authentication, database hygiene, and custom responsive template design. The 12-month term is what allows us to completely waive the $300 setup fee.
To guarantee your location is built, authenticated, and loaded with your subscriber list in time for Black Friday promotional launches, enrollment must be confirmed by the announced cutoff date (November 10th). Submissions received after the cutoff will be onboarded in the order received, but pre-Black Friday delivery cannot be guaranteed.
05. The 2-Minute Monthly Personalization Workflow
To achieve our benchmark 25% to 35% open rates, our emails avoid generic corporate blasts in favor of an authentic local voice:
- Step 1 (We Draft): Each month, TSMC writes a complete email draft, constructs the layout, and configures all local booking and promo links.
- Step 2 (You Provide Voice): We send you a preview along with a simple engagement prompt for you to write a one or two sentence story or thought about the monthly topic.
- Step 3 (You Approve): You reply with your quick lines, give a thumbs-up, and TSMC drops your text into the opening hook and executes the deployment.
If a location fails to respond to a monthly prompt within 5 business days of scheduled distribution, TSMC will deploy an approved, high-converting location newsletter to ensure your members hear from you and your pods stay booked.
06. 100% Subscriber Database Ownership
You retain sole and exclusive proprietary ownership of all customer lists, member emails, and guest records provided to TSMC. We act solely as a technical service provider and campaign execution partner. Under no circumstances will TSMC sell, rent, monetize, pool, or share your subscriber data with any other business or location.
07. Intellectual Property & Franchise Trademarks
All True REST Float Spa trademarks, logos, brand emblems, and copyrighted imagery remain the exclusive property of True REST Franchising LLC and its affiliated corporate entities.
Marketing copy, narrative concepts, responsive HTML layouts, and campaign structures engineered by TSMC are provided under a limited, non-exclusive license to the enrolled location for the duration of active service for the sole purpose of marketing the location.
08. Performance & Revenue Disclaimers
While the program is based on proven systems active in operating True REST spas (including Brick, NJ, Ocean Township, NJ, and Chico, CA) that consistently produce 25% to 35% open rates and significant promo revenue, TSMC makes no guarantee regarding specific dollar earnings, float booking counts, or new membership conversions.
Results depend on local factors beyond our control, including the size and freshness of your customer list, local market density, front desk sales conversion, and local pricing structures.
09. CAN-SPAM Compliance & Acceptable Use
All marketing broadcasts deployed through the platform comply strictly with federal CAN-SPAM regulations. Franchisees agree that all subscriber lists provided consist of legitimate past guests, active members, or individuals who voluntarily opted in to receive updates from the spa. We do not permit purchased or scraped third-party email lists.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SMART MARKETING COMPANY, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE, OR DATA) ARISING OUT OF THE PROVISION OF THESE SERVICES.
TSMC'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PROGRAM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOUR LOCATION TO TSMC IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
11. Cancellation & Transition
For Annual Agreement plans, service runs for an initial 12-month commitment. After completing the initial 12-month term, service automatically transitions to month-to-month afterward with preferred pricing retained, cancelable at any time with 30 days written notice prior to your next recurring billing date.
Upon cancellation, your location may request a full export of your updated subscriber lists, including engagement histories and clean suppression records.
12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
