Terms of Service

DRAFT. Not reviewed by a lawyer and not yet in effect. Fill in the highlighted items, have a lawyer review it, then remove this notice.

Effective [DATE]. These terms are an agreement between [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we") and the business that signs up ("you").

The service

Level Yard is software for landscaping companies: customers, estimates, scheduling, crew time, invoicing, and connections to services such as QuickBooks, Stripe, text messaging and email.

Your account

You are responsible for your users and their logins, and for what is done under your account. Tell us promptly if you think an account has been misused.

Your data

The information you put into Level Yard stays yours. You give us permission to store and process it only to run the service for you. You confirm you have the right to give us that information, including your customers' contact details.

Connected services

When you connect QuickBooks or another service, we send and receive the information needed for that connection. Those services have their own terms and we do not control them. You can disconnect at any time. Check what is sent to your accounting system: you remain responsible for your own books.

Sales tax and accounting

Level Yard calculates tax using the rates and settings you enter. We do not give tax, accounting or legal advice. Confirm your rates and which of your services are taxable with your accountant.

Messages to your customers

You are responsible for having your customers' consent to receive text messages from you, and for following the laws that apply to your messages.

Payments you take

Card and bank payments are processed by Stripe under Stripe's terms. You are responsible for refunds, chargebacks and disputes with your customers.

Fees

You agree to pay the fees we have agreed with you. [PRICE, BILLING PERIOD, AND WHAT HAPPENS IF PAYMENT IS LATE]

Acceptable use

Do not use the service to break the law, send unwanted messages, or try to get into data that is not yours, or to disrupt the service.

Ending the service

You can stop at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or end an account that breaks these terms or does not pay. When an account ends, you can ask us for a copy of your data within [NUMBER] days, after which we may delete it.

No guarantee

The service is provided "as is". We work to keep it available and accurate, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or free of errors.

Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the [NUMBER] months before the claim.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms and will tell you before significant changes take effect. These terms are governed by the laws of [STATE].
