This is a draft for the owner's review, and it needs legal review. A lawyer hasn't read it, and it isn't in force. Marked items are still to be filled in.
Terms of service
Who we are
HomesteadTrack is run by [legal entity name and address]. "We" means that company, and "you" means the person using the service.
Early access
HomesteadTrack is in early access. We approve sign-ups a few at a time, and an invitation is the only way to create an account. Features will change, and some are listed on the home page as not here yet.
An early access homestead is free until it's moved off the early access plan. We'll tell you before that happens, and you choose whether to buy a plan.
Your account
- Give us an email address that works, and keep your password to yourself.
- You're responsible for what happens under your account.
- You must be [minimum age, for counsel] or older to hold an account.
Your homestead's records
What you put in stays yours. You let us store, copy, and show it only to run the service for you and the people you invite.
The owner of a homestead decides who else can see it, and what role each person has. Those people can see and sometimes change its records, according to that role.
What it isn't
HomesteadTrack keeps records and does arithmetic on them. It isn't veterinary, medical, food-safety, or legal advice.
Due dates, months of supply, schedules, and weather are estimates from what's on file. Check anything that matters to an animal's or a person's health with someone qualified. A record with nothing on file doesn't mean there's nothing to know.
Working offline
Some forms save to your device when there's no signal, and send when you're back in range. Until then, those entries exist only on that device. If someone changed the same record in the meantime, the server's version is kept and the app shows you what wasn't saved.
Weather
Forecasts come from Apple through WeatherKit, using your homestead's coordinates. The freeze, heat, and storm warnings on the dashboard are worked out by HomesteadTrack from that forecast, so they aren't Apple's own alerts. [Apple's notice on real-time weather guidance, if counsel agrees these warnings count.]
Fair use
Don't use the service to break the law, get into anyone else's data, or overload or attack it. We can limit or close an account that does.
Payments
Paid plans are bought from the homestead's plan page. Stripe takes the payment on its own pages, and we never see your card number. [Prices, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms, for the owner and counsel.]
If you leave, or we stop
You can stop using the service at any time. To close your account, write to us at the address below, because there's no button for it yet. If we ever shut the service down, we'll give you notice and a way to take your records. [Notice period, for the owner.]
No warranty, and limits
[For counsel: warranty disclaimer, limit of liability, governing law, and how disputes are handled.]
Changes
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you by email before they apply.
