Last updated: May 17, 2026

By opting in to receive SMS messages from Signal, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before using the service.

1. The Service

Signal is an AI-powered SMS career coaching service operated by Scott Bond (thescottbond.com). Signal delivers personalized career coaching, daily check-ins, and two-way SMS coaching conversations powered by artificial intelligence trained on Scott Bond's career coaching content and frameworks.

Signal is not a licensed counseling or therapy service. It is a career coaching tool intended to supplement, not replace, professional advice. Users should use their own judgment when applying Signal's guidance to their specific career situations.

2. Eligibility

To use Signal, you must:

By using Signal, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements.

3. SMS Consent and Opt-In

Signal communicates via SMS text messages. By providing your phone number and opting in to Signal, you expressly consent to receive recurring automated text messages from Signal at the number you provide. Your consent is not a condition of purchase.

How you can opt in:

When you opt in, we record the timestamp and content of the activation-code text from your phone (which serves as your affirmative SMS opt-in), and we rely on Stripe’s checkout records, which include the IP address used during your payment session, as supporting evidence of consent. This combined consent record is retained as described in our Privacy Policy and serves as evidence of your affirmative opt-in under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Message frequency: Up to 1 proactive message per day, plus responses to messages you send. Frequency varies by subscription tier and usage.

Message & data rates: Standard message and data rates from your wireless carrier may apply.

To opt out: Text STOP to the Signal number at any time. You will receive one confirmation and no further messages.

For help: Text HELP to the Signal number, or email scott@thescottbond.com.

Supported carriers include but are not limited to: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Boost Mobile, Cricket, MetroPCS, US Cellular, and other major US carriers. Carrier support is not guaranteed for all carriers.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

Signal is offered as a paid subscription service. Subscription details, including current pricing and billing frequency, are displayed at thescottbond.com/signal at the time you subscribe.

Auto-renewal disclosure. Signal is a paid, automatically renewing subscription service. By completing checkout, you authorize Scott Bond, doing business as thescottbond.com, to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the price and billing frequency disclosed at checkout. Your subscription will continue and renew automatically until you cancel it. Each renewal will be charged at the then-current price as disclosed to you.

How to cancel. You can cancel your subscription at any time, online and with minimal steps, through the Stripe customer portal. The link to your customer portal is included in every Signal email and is also available at thescottbond.com/signal-account. You may also cancel by emailing scott@thescottbond.com and we will process the cancellation within two business days.

Cancellation effect. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to Signal through the end of that period. No further charges will be made after cancellation unless you choose to resubscribe.

Refund policy. All subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We do not issue partial refunds for unused time within a billing period. If you believe you have been charged in error, contact us at scott@thescottbond.com within seven days of the charge and we will review your request in good faith.

Failed payments. If a renewal charge fails, Stripe will automatically retry the charge over a brief period. If payment remains unsuccessful, your subscription will be paused and your access to Signal will be revoked until payment is updated. You can update your payment method at any time through the Stripe customer portal at thescottbond.com/signal-account.

Pricing changes. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. Existing subscribers will receive at least 30 days advance notice of any price change via SMS or email and will have the opportunity to cancel before the new price takes effect.

State-specific notices.
