PlaceLedger Terms of Use
PlaceLedger is a rental documentation app that helps users organize move-in and move-out property condition notes, photos, timestamps, comparisons, and PDF reports. The app is intended to help users create clearer records for their own use.
1. Overview
By using PlaceLedger, users agree to these Terms of Use and the PlaceLedger Privacy Policy. PlaceLedger is developed by Vellumstead Labs LLC under the public developer brand Vellumstead Labs.
2. Documentation Tool Only
PlaceLedger is not a law firm, legal adviser, property manager, landlord, tenant advocate, inspector, or dispute-resolution service. PlaceLedger does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee any outcome in a rental, deposit, bond, inspection, insurance, or legal matter.
Users are responsible for deciding how to use their reports and whether to seek professional advice.
3. User Responsibility For Content
Users are responsible for the information, notes, photos, reports, and files they create, import, store, preview, export, or share with PlaceLedger.
Users should only document property or rental matters they have the right to document. Users should not use PlaceLedger to create, store, or share unlawful, misleading, abusive, invasive, or infringing content.
4. Local-First Storage
In the current app build, PlaceLedger stores report data locally on the user's device. This may include property details, report type, linked comparison references, optional tenant name, notes, checklist item status, photos, generated PDFs, app preferences, and local unlock state.
PlaceLedger does not currently provide cloud backup, account sync, or server-side recovery of report contents. If the app is deleted, device data is erased, or the device is lost or damaged, locally stored report data may be lost.
Users are responsible for keeping copies of exported reports or other records they need to preserve.
5. Photos, Permissions, And Sharing
PlaceLedger may request camera and photo library permissions so users can capture or import documentation photos. Users can generate PDF reports and share them through the device's native share sheet.
When users share a report or file with another app, person, organization, or service, that sharing is controlled by the user's chosen destination and may be subject to that destination's terms and privacy policy.
6. Purchases And Lifetime Unlock
PlaceLedger is expected to offer a lifetime unlock for paid features such as unlimited reports and watermark-free PDF export through Apple App Store and Google Play.
Before public app-store release, this section must be updated to reflect the final store purchase terms, refund handling, restore-purchase behavior, price, taxes, platform rules, and any regional requirements.
Unless stated otherwise in the final published terms, purchases made through Apple or Google are handled by the relevant app store and may be subject to Apple or Google's payment, refund, and account rules.
7. Acceptable Use
Users agree not to misuse PlaceLedger, including by:
- Violating applicable laws or rights of others.
- Uploading, creating, or sharing content they do not have the right to use.
- Using the app to harass, threaten, defame, or invade the privacy of others.
- Attempting to reverse engineer, disrupt, abuse, or interfere with the app.
- Misrepresenting PlaceLedger reports as official legal, governmental, inspection, or certification documents.
8. No Guarantee Of Availability Or Results
PlaceLedger is provided as a documentation tool. The app may contain errors, change over time, or be unavailable on some devices or operating system versions.
PlaceLedger does not guarantee that a report will be accepted by a landlord, agent, property manager, tribunal, court, insurer, deposit/bond authority, or any other person or organization.
9. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, PlaceLedger is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.
PlaceLedger does not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, loss-free, or suitable for any particular legal, rental, inspection, or evidentiary purpose.
10. Limitation Of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, PlaceLedger and its developer will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, reports, photos, profits, deposits, bonds, rent, use, goodwill, or other losses arising from use of or inability to use the app.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some limitations may not apply to all users.
11. Changes To The App Or Terms
PlaceLedger may change over time. Features may be added, changed, or removed. These Terms may also be updated before or after launch.
If material changes are made, the published Terms should be updated and users should be notified where required by law or store policy.
