Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Own Your Tools ("the Service"), operated at ownyourtools.work, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Description of Service

Own Your Tools is a web-based business management platform designed for contractors and tradespeople. The Service includes tools for client management, job scheduling, invoicing, expense tracking, mileage logging, proposal building, team communication, route planning, and other business operations features.

The Service is provided as a progressive web application (PWA) with offline-first capabilities and cloud synchronization via Supabase.

3. Payment and Pricing

Own Your Tools is offered as a one-time purchase of $250 USD for lifetime access. This means:

• Single payment — there are no recurring subscription fees, monthly charges, or hidden costs
• Lifetime access — your purchase grants access to the Service and all future updates for as long as the Service is operational
• No refunds — all purchases are final. Because the Service provides immediate digital access upon payment, we do not offer refunds, exchanges, or credits. We encourage you to review the feature set at ownyourtools.work before purchasing

Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Own Your Tools does not store your credit card information.

4. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate information — use a valid email address and keep your account details current
• Protect your credentials — do not share your login details with unauthorized individuals
• Notify us promptly — contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that we reasonably believe are being used for fraudulent or abusive purposes.

5. User Data and Content

You retain full ownership of all data and content you enter into the Service, including client records, job details, invoices, proposals, expenses, and any other business information. You are solely responsible for:

• Data accuracy — ensuring the information you enter is correct and up to date
• Data backups — maintaining your own copies of critical business data. While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, we are not a backup service
• Compliance — ensuring your use of the Service complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations relevant to your business

We do not claim ownership of your data. We access your data only to operate the Service, provide support, and as described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any laws — use the platform for illegal activities or to store unlawful content
• Harm the Service — attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the operation of the Service or its infrastructure
• Gain unauthorized access — access other users' data or attempt to bypass security measures
• Redistribute the Service — resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the platform

7. Service Availability

We strive to keep Own Your Tools available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, server issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to minimize downtime and notify users of planned maintenance when possible.

The offline-first architecture of the Service allows many features to function without an active internet connection. However, features requiring cloud synchronization, payment processing, SMS delivery, or third-party API access (Google Calendar, Google Maps) require connectivity and are subject to the availability of those external services.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Own Your Tools and its owner, operators, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

• Lost revenue or profits — business losses arising from the use or inability to use the Service
• Data loss — loss or corruption of data stored in or transmitted through the Service
• Third-party actions — damages caused by third-party services integrated with the platform (Stripe, Google, Twilio, Supabase)
• Service interruptions — losses resulting from downtime, outages, or maintenance

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for access ($250 USD).

9. Third-Party Services

Own Your Tools integrates with third-party services including Stripe (payments), Google (Calendar, Maps, Geocoding), Twilio (SMS), and Supabase (database and authentication). These integrations are provided for your convenience and are governed by the respective third party's own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of any third-party service.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms or if we discontinue the Service. In the event we discontinue the Service entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice and allow you to export your data.

11. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms or the Service shall be resolved in accordance with applicable United States federal and state law.
