Terms of Service

1. Acceptance & who we are

Estimatery is a free, client-first estimate builder — you build a production estimate in your browser and export or share a client-safe version of it. It is operated by LanRus LLC (d/b/a Estimatery), a California LLC. You can reach us at hello@estimatery.com.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live) and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Service for a business, you represent that you are authorized to bind it, and “you” includes that business.

In these Terms:

• “Creator,” “you,” or “your” means the person using the Service — including, if you sign in, the holder of the Estimatery account.
• “Client” means a customer of yours whose information may appear in an estimate you create (for example, a client name, company, or address you type in).
• “estimate” means a document you build with the Service, including its internal-only figures (costs, margins, internal notes) and its client-safe version.

2. Not professional advice

The Service is a calculator and document tool, not a source of professional advice. Estimatery computes totals, taxes, a production fee, an internal profit-and-loss view, and an income set-aside from numbers and settings you enter. These outputs are only as accurate as your inputs and the assumptions you choose, and we do not warrant that they are error-free — verify every figure before you send it to a Client.

Nothing in the Service is tax, accounting, legal, or financial advice. Tax rates, exemptions, what counts as taxable, and how to run your business vary by situation and location. You are responsible for confirming any figure with a qualified professional before relying on it, and for the estimates and prices you send to your Clients. We are not responsible for decisions made based on the Service’s output.

3. The Service — free and Pro

Free. The whole builder and every export format work without an account. Your working estimate autosaves in your browser’s local storage; nothing about it reaches our servers unless you choose to share it, export it, or sign in and save it. A free account additionally lets you save one estimate to the cloud so it follows you across devices. Client-facing exports and share links on the free tier carry a small “Made with Estimatery · estimatery.com” footer.

Pro. Pro is a one-time $39 unlock — not a subscription. It (a) optionally lets you add your business name, contact line, and logo to client-facing exports in place of the “Made with” footer — you control whether this appears, and it is cosmetic (it changes only what shows on client-facing documents) — (b) makes cloud-saved estimates unlimited, and (c) unlocks the Saved Items library, a reusable catalog of your saved line items. If your Pro access ends (for example, after a refund), we stop applying your branding, cap new cloud saves at the free limit of one, and the Saved Items library is no longer available. We do not delete your existing saved estimates or saved items because of a downgrade, but you may be unable to save new ones or use them beyond the free plan’s limits.

We may change, add, or remove features over time and do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available. Section 8 (Payments) and the payment processor’s refund process describe your recourse if we make a material adverse change to a paid Pro feature.

4. Accounts & magic-link sign-in

An account is optional and used only for cloud saves and Pro. Sign-in is by magic link: you enter your email, we email you a one-time link, and you confirm on the page that opens. There is no password. Sign-in links expire after 15 minutes and can be used once; a signed-in session lasts 30 days per device.

Because anyone who can receive your email and click a fresh sign-in link can access your account, you are responsible for keeping your email secure and for activity under your account. Tell us at hello@estimatery.com if you believe your email or account has been compromised.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service to build, store, or send content that is unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, or that you do not have the right to create or distribute;
• input personal information about a Client or third party that you do not have the right to provide (see Section 6);
• attempt to access accounts, estimates, or data that are not yours, or to defeat the ownership scoping, privacy wall, rate limiting, or other protections in the Service;
• probe, scan, overload, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure, or send automated requests beyond normal use (the sign-in and contact endpoints are rate-limited);
• reverse engineer, resell, or sublicense the Service except as allowed by law; or
• misrepresent the Service’s output as advice from Estimatery, or use the “Made with Estimatery” footer or our name in a misleading way.

We may suspend or end access to the Service, or to an account, for conduct that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe risks harm to the Service, other users, or us.

6. Your content and Client data

You own your estimates. As between you and us, you keep all rights in the estimates and content you create (“Your Content”), including any Client information within them. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

License to run the Service. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, and process Your Content only as needed to provide the Service to you — for example, to save an estimate you store in the cloud, generate an export, or build a share link. This license exists only while we hold that content for you. We do not sell Your Content and do not use it to advertise.

Client and third-party data is your responsibility. Estimates can contain personal information about your Clients or others that you type in — names, company names, addresses, and contact details. You represent that you have the right to provide that information to the Service and to include it in documents you export or share. As between you and us, you are responsible for that information and for how you use, export, and distribute the estimates that contain it. If you need a formal data-processing arrangement to meet your own obligations (for example, under the GDPR), see our Data Processing Addendum.

How your data travels — be aware. The Service is built so that costs, margins, markup, internal notes, and internal-only sections are physically excluded from client-facing exports and share links, not merely hidden. However:

• Share links carry a readable copy. A share link embeds a compressed, client-safe copy of the estimate inside the link itself (and, for very large estimates, in the local storage of the browser that created it). Anyone who has the link can open and read that client-safe estimate — including the Client name, company, and address you included — without signing in. Share links are not encrypted; treat them like any unlisted URL and keep them private if the estimate is confidential.
• Anonymous work lives only in your browser. If you do not sign in, your estimate is stored only in your browser’s local storage. Clearing your browser’s site data removes it, and we cannot recover it.
• Exports leave the Service. Once you download or send an export, it is out of our hands and yours to manage.

7. Intellectual property in the Service

The Service itself — the software, the site, the Estimatery name and logo, and the “Made with Estimatery” footer — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not give you any rights in the Service except the limited right to use it as described here. You may keep the “Made with Estimatery” footer on free-tier exports; you may not otherwise use our name, logo, or branding without our permission. We welcome feedback and may use it without obligation to you.

8. Payments, the merchant of record, and refunds

Pro is a one-time purchase for the price shown at checkout (currently $39). It is not a subscription; there is no recurring charge, renewal, or monthly fee.

Your purchase is sold and processed by our payment processor, which acts as the merchant of record for the transaction — currently LemonSqueezy. The merchant of record is the seller of record: it collects your payment, handles your card details, calculates and remits any sales tax or VAT, and issues your receipt. Estimatery never sees or stores your card number or full billing details. We store only a minimal record of the order — an order identifier, its status, and the account it unlocked — to grant and maintain your Pro access, and we send the processor your email to prefill checkout and issue your receipt.

Your purchase is also subject to the merchant of record’s own terms and privacy policy shown at checkout. Refunds are handled by the merchant of record. 30-day money-back guarantee: within 30 days of purchase you can request a full refund yourself from Settings → Billing (“Request a refund”), no questions asked. That request instructs the merchant of record to refund the order in full. After the window, contact us at hello@estimatery.com or contact the processor directly; those refund decisions rest with the merchant of record and are made under its own terms. Because it is the seller of record, a refund is issued through it and may take several business days to appear. If a purchase is refunded, your Pro access ends and your account returns to the free tier as described in Section 3. We may change payment processors over time; the merchant of record at the time of your purchase is the one that applies.

If the price of Pro changes, the change applies only to purchases made after it takes effect; a one-time unlock you already bought is not re-charged.

EU/UK consumers — withdrawal and digital content. If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or the UK, you normally have a 14-day right to withdraw from an online purchase. Pro is digital content supplied immediately: through the checkout terms you accept when purchasing, the merchant of record captures your express consent to immediate access and your acknowledgment that you thereby lose the 14-day withdrawal right. This does not limit the refund process described above or any statutory right you cannot waive.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that calculations will be free of error, that stored or shared data will always be available or preserved, or that the Service will meet your needs. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of important estimates (for example, by exporting them). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law:

• We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, revenue, business, or lost or corrupted data, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms — even if we have been advised of the possibility.
• Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $39.

These limits reflect that Estimatery is a low-cost tool offered largely for free. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LanRus LLC and its members and personnel from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, including Client or third-party information you provided without the right to do so; (b) the estimates, prices, or documents you send to your Clients or others; or (c) your violation of these Terms or of applicable law. We may take over the defense of any such claim, and you agree to cooperate; you will not settle any claim in a way that imposes obligations on us without our consent.

12. Termination and the effect of deletion

You may stop using the Service at any time. You can sign out from the account menu, and you can remove anonymous data by clearing your browser’s site data.

You can delete your account yourself: Settings → Delete account. Deletion disables your account immediately (sign-in stops working, and any logo we host is removed right away), and your cloud-saved data — saved estimates, saved items, branding, and purchase records — is permanently erased from our database within 30 days; once erased it is not recoverable. You can also request deletion by email at hello@estimatery.com from the address you signed up with. We may retain minimal records where required for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes, and the merchant of record keeps its own transaction records under its policies.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms or as needed to protect the Service or others. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 14 — survive.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will update the effective date above and, where reasonable, provide notice through the Service. Changes are not retroactive. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service.

14. Governing law, disputes, and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree that the state and federal courts located in California will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there — except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere (for example, in small-claims court or in your home jurisdiction as a consumer).

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede prior discussions. Questions? Email hello@estimatery.com.
