Terms of Service
Effective date: March 19, 2026
Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of FillCue ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using FillCue, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
Service Description
FillCue is a substitute-finding platform for professional industries. Users create events with coverage needs, build ranked lists of trusted professional contacts, and run automated cascade outreach that sequentially contacts substitutes via email and SMS until coverage is confirmed. FillCue serves court reporters, interpreters, orchestras, photographers, and other professional fields where reliable substitute coverage is critical.
Accounts
Users create accounts to manage events and contact rosters. Contacts on your substitute list do not need FillCue accounts — they receive coverage requests via email and SMS and respond through secure, token-authenticated links. Contacts can manage their own availability and profile information through personalized links without creating an account.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use FillCue to send spam or unsolicited messages unrelated to coverage requests
- Provide false or misleading information in event postings or contact profiles
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts or our systems
- Interfere with or disrupt the platform or its infrastructure
- Upload contact information obtained through purchased lists, scraped databases, data brokers, or any source other than direct professional relationships
- Add contacts to your substitute list who you do not have a pre-existing professional relationship with
- Use FillCue to contact individuals for purposes unrelated to professional substitute coverage
Contact List Responsibilities
By adding contacts to your FillCue substitute list, you certify that:
- You have a pre-existing professional relationship with each contact.
- You have informed each contact that they may receive SMS and email notifications about coverage requests through FillCue.
- Each contact has consented to receive such communications, or you have a reasonable basis to believe they would welcome professional coverage inquiries from colleagues.
- You have not obtained contact information through purchased lists, scraped databases, data brokers, or any source other than direct professional relationships.
You assume sole responsibility for compliance with applicable telemarketing and communication laws, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), with respect to your contact list. FillCue provides the technology platform; you are responsible for the appropriateness of the contacts you add and the communications sent on your behalf.
Contacts may opt out of FillCue communications at any time by replying STOP to any SMS or clicking the unsubscribe link in any email. Once a contact opts out, they will not receive further cascade outreach from any FillCue user, and you will be notified that the contact has been removed from active outreach.
SMS Terms
By providing a phone number in your FillCue settings, you consent to receive transactional SMS messages related to coverage requests and cascade outreach notifications.
If you are a Contact (not a FillCue account holder) receiving SMS messages, a professional colleague has included you in their substitute list. You can opt out at any time.
- Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier and plan.
- Message frequency varies based on active coverage requests.
- Opt out: Reply STOP to any FillCue message to unsubscribe from SMS notifications immediately.
- You may also opt out by replying UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT.
- Any other reasonable opt-out request (e.g., "please stop texting me") will be honored within 10 business days.
- Help: Reply HELP to any FillCue message, or email [email protected].
See our Privacy Policy — SMS Consent & Notifications and SMS Opt-In Policy for full details.
