Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-08-04
Draft notice: this is a template-grade draft, not a lawyer-reviewed final document. It is provided for TestFlight beta and pre-launch purposes and will be reviewed by an attorney before Nestie-home is publicly available.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Nestie-home (“Nestie-home,” “we,” “us”) governing your use of the Nestie-home app and website (together, the “Service”).
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By creating an account, downloading the app, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We may ask you to accept an updated version of these Terms as you continue using the Service; continuing to use it after being notified of changes means you accept them.
2. The service
Nestie-home provides general, informational guidance about home maintenance and renovation — checklists, reminders, and organizational tools for your home. The Service is not a substitute for professional inspection, contracting, engineering, legal, or other licensed advice, and nothing in the Service constitutes such advice. Every home is different, and guidance that is generally sound may not be appropriate for your specific home, equipment, local code, or circumstances.
3. Assumption of risk
Some tasks suggested or tracked in the Service involve physical work in and around your home, which carries inherent risk of injury or property damage. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for deciding whether, when, and how to perform any task, and for your own safety and the safety of others while doing so;
- You assume all risk associated with performing home maintenance or renovation tasks, whether or not suggested by the Service; and
- Work involving gas lines or appliances, electrical systems, structural elements, or roofing should be performed only by a licensed, qualified professional. The Service is not a substitute for hiring one, and you should always consult a licensed professional for such work, or whenever you are unsure of your own ability to safely complete a task.
4. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any guidance, checklist, or reminder is complete, accurate, or suitable for your specific home. You use the Service, and act on any guidance it provides, at your own risk.
5. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NESTIE-HOME AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $100 IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US ANYTHING. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
6. Subscriptions & billing
Paid subscriptions to Nestie-home, if and when offered, are sold and billed through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Your subscription, including its price, billing cycle, renewal, cancellation, and any refund, is governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and the App Store's refund policies — we do not process payments or issue refunds directly, and Apple's standard subscription and refund terms apply to your purchase. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID account settings. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our systems;
- Upload content you do not have the right to share, or that infringes another person's rights, including the contact information of others without their permission;
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service, or reverse-engineer, scrape, or resell it; or
- Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm another person.
8. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service, with notice where reasonably practicable. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10) will survive.
9. Dispute resolution: binding arbitration & class-action waiver
You and Nestie-home agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You and Nestie-home each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. The arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration organization under its applicable rules then in effect. This section does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
10. Governing law
Flag for lawyer review: these Terms are currently drafted to be governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and to designate Missouri courts as the venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration. Confirm this is the correct governing-law choice before this draft is finalized.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you in the app or by email before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
