Terms of Service

Effective date: July 7, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Yardclaw website and services at yardclaw.app (the "Service"), operated by Yardclaw ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

Yardclaw provides AI-assisted property measurement, job time and cost estimation, proposals, scheduling, and routing tools for service businesses. The Service is intended for business use.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when registering and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be at least 16 years old and authorized to act for the business you register.

3. Credits & billing

New accounts include a limited number of free property lookups. Additional lookups require credits purchased through the Service.
Payments are processed by Stripe. Prices are shown at purchase and may change for future purchases.
Credits are consumed when a new (uncached) property measurement runs. Except where required by law, credit purchases are non-refundable; unused credits remain available while your account is active.

4. Measurements are estimates

Measurements, time estimates, costs, and pricing suggestions are generated from aerial imagery, parcel data, and statistical models. They are estimates, not surveys, and may be inaccurate or out of date. You are responsible for verifying any measurement before relying on it in a quote, contract, or job. Yardclaw is not a substitute for a professional land survey or site visit.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

resell, scrape, or bulk-extract data from the Service without our written permission;
use the Service to harass, stalk, or surveil any person, or for any unlawful purpose;
attempt to probe, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;
share one account across multiple businesses.

6. Your data

You retain ownership of the business data you enter (rates, services, clients, jobs). You grant us the limited rights needed to store and process it to provide the Service. Our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Third-party integrations

The Service can connect to third-party platforms such as Jobber. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms. By connecting an integration you authorize us to access the data described in our Privacy Policy for the purpose of providing the Service. We may suspend an integration if required by the third party or to protect the Service. Data from connected platforms is used only to provide the Service to you and is deleted from our systems when you disconnect.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and content (excluding your data), is owned by Yardclaw and protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your business while these Terms are in effect.

9. Availability & changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We aim for high availability but the Service is provided without uptime guarantees.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YARDCLAW WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — INCLUDING DECISIONS OR QUOTES MADE IN RELIANCE ON MEASUREMENTS OR ESTIMATES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Sections 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13 survive termination.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Ontario.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date; continued use after changes means you accept them.
