Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the MoveOut Shield mobile application ("App"), operated by Paul Grant ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms.
1. What the App Does
MoveOut Shield is a documentation tool that helps renters create inspection records, take GPS-tagged photos, and access general information about security deposit laws in US states. The App generates reports and email drafts that users may choose to send to their landlords.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use this App. By using the App, you represent that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
3. Not Legal Advice
Do not rely solely on the App for legal decisions. For any specific legal question — including a dispute with your landlord over a security deposit — consult a licensed attorney or your state's consumer protection agency. Laws vary by state and change over time. Past results (for us or anyone else) do not guarantee future outcomes.
Your use of any information in the App is at your own risk.
4. Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Accurately documenting the condition of the property you are inspecting
- Ensuring you have the right to photograph the property at the time you use the App
- Complying with all applicable laws, including privacy laws of your jurisdiction
- Backing up any data you wish to preserve — the App stores data only on your device
- Reviewing any generated reports before sharing them with third parties
5. Your Data
All data you create in the App — photos, notes, reports — is stored on your device and belongs to you. We do not access, collect, or store your data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
You are responsible for backing up your data. We are not liable for any data loss resulting from device failure, app uninstallation, or any other cause.
6. Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, code, copy, and state law database, is owned by Paul Grant and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any part of the App without written permission.
Reports and documentation you generate using the App are yours. You own the content you create.
7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAUL GRANT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP (WHICH MAY BE ZERO).
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Paul Grant from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the App or violation of these Terms.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Indiana.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through an in-app notice or App Store update notes. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may update, modify, or discontinue the App at any time without notice. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive.
