These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Jacobus Company, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us”) governing your use of Home Project Helper (the “Software”). By downloading, installing, activating, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.
Home Project Helper is a set of files and instructions that you run on your own device using your own third-party AI assistant subscription (such as Anthropic’s Claude or OpenAI’s ChatGPT). The Software helps you organize renovation estimates, budgets, schedules, contractor information, and design decisions. The Software requires an active, separately purchased AI assistant subscription, which is not provided by, controlled by, or the responsibility of the Company. Your project data is stored in files on your own device; the Company does not host, receive, or store your project data.
Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software. The Free tier permits use for one (1) renovation project. A Pro license, purchased for a one-time fee of US $29.99, unlocks unlimited projects, is valid for twelve (12) months from the date of purchase, and may be activated on up to five (5) devices. The Pro license does not automatically renew and no payment method is stored for renewal; to continue Pro features after expiration you may purchase a new license. Expiration is non-destructive: when a Pro license expires, your existing projects and data remain fully accessible and usable; only the creation of new projects beyond the Free tier requires a current Pro license.
Purchases are processed by our third-party payments provider, Polar, acting as the Merchant of Record. Polar handles billing, applicable taxes, and payment information; the Company does not receive or store your payment card details. Your purchase is also subject to Polar’s applicable terms. We offer a fourteen (14) day satisfaction period from the date of purchase during which you may request a refund; after fourteen (14) days, all sales are final and no refunds will be provided, except where required by applicable law. License keys are issued and validated by Polar.
Your license key is personal to you. You agree not to share, publish, resell, or distribute your key. Activation registers a device against your key up to the five-device limit; the Company and Polar may deactivate keys that are shared or used in violation of these Terms.
You agree not to: (a) reverse engineer, resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Software except as permitted; (b) circumvent the license or activation mechanisms; (c) use the Software for any unlawful purpose; or (d) upload content you lack the right to use. You are responsible for the accuracy of data you enter and for your use of any exports you generate and share.
The Software, including its code, templates, designs, and documentation, is owned by the Company and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a license, not a sale, of the Software. Your project data and the content you create remain yours.
The Software organizes figures and information that you and third parties provide. It does not provide construction, engineering, financial, tax, legal, or other professional advice. Budget totals and other figures are estimates derived from data you enter or import and may contain errors. See the Disclaimer. You should independently verify all figures and consult qualified professionals before making decisions.
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY FIGURES IT PRODUCES ARE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE. THE COMPANY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your misuse of the Software or violation of these Terms.
These Terms remain in effect while you use the Software. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms. On termination, you must stop using the Software; your local files remain yours.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for disputes will be the state or federal courts located there, to the extent permitted by law.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted at home-project-helper.julieclarkson.com. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
