Stop rule before AI publishes or replies

STOP PUBLISHING: do not let AI, a chatbot, public FAQ, appointment reminder, or support macro invent deposit amounts, no-show fees, refund eligibility, credit transferability, grace periods, late-arrival rules, cancellation deadlines, prepaid package balances, fee waivers, or booking availability unless the approved booking-policy source and customer record support that exact claim. Route legal, accessibility, medical/safety, payment-dispute, chargeback, hardship, and policy-exception cases to a human owner.

1) Deposit boundary

Your appointment deposit follows the current booking policy and payment record. We will confirm the exact deposit status before promising a refund, credit, transfer, or forfeiture outcome.

2) No-show fee boundary

No-show and late-cancel fees must match the approved policy, appointment time zone, and customer record. We will route this for review instead of guessing in this reply.

3) Reschedule boundary

We can help check reschedule options, but availability, deposit transfer, and fee changes are not confirmed until the booking source is updated.

4) Prepaid package boundary

Prepaid package, membership, credit-balance, and gift-card questions need the payment/source record before we mention remaining value, expiration, or refund eligibility.

AI audit prompt

You are reviewing an appointment booking page, deposit FAQ, no-show policy, reminder SMS, support macro, or AI-search answer. Use only the appointment fee source card below. Do not invent deposit amounts, no-show fees, cancellation windows, reschedule rights, fee waivers, refunds, credits, prepaid balances, expiration dates, access, or booking availability. Return: 1) missing facts, 2) risky claims to remove, 3) safe customer wording, 4) pages/reminders/macros to update, and 5) STOP PUBLISHING items.

Weekly source-control questions

Do the booking page, reminder texts, FAQ, checkout/payment screen, cancellation policy, and chatbot all describe the same deposit and no-show rules?
Which AI-generated snippets still imply fees are refundable, automatically waived, or transferable when the source record does not say that?
Which appointment types need separate source cards because deposits, no-show fees, prepaid packages, or cancellation windows differ?

Product signal: if appointment deposits, no-show fees, prepaid packages, and booking-policy source-control traffic repeats, add a SEO After AI booking-policy appendix and a Local Lead Rescue appointment-fee response card covering deposit proof, no-show boundaries, reschedule language, and owner-review stop rules.
