These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Shiphasbolted, operated by [Business Name] ("[Business Name]", "we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the app, you agree to these terms.

1. The service

Shiphasbolted is a home maintenance reminder and scheduling application designed for New Zealand property owners. We provide tools to help you plan, track, and record home maintenance tasks.

The information and reminders in Shiphasbolted are for general guidance only. They do not constitute professional advice. Always consult a qualified professional (builder, electrician, plumber, etc.) before undertaking structural, electrical, plumbing, or other specialist work.

2. Your account

• You must be 18 years or older to create an account
• You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
• One account per person — you may not share accounts

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the app for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or reproduce any part of the app
• Use automated tools to access the app or its data without permission
• Upload content that is false, offensive, or violates the rights of others
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users' data

4. Subscription and payments

Shiphasbolted offers a free tier and optional paid subscriptions (Standard and Pro). Pricing is displayed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and is inclusive of GST where applicable.

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually in advance. You may cancel at any time; your access continues until the end of the billing period. We do not offer pro-rata refunds for partial periods, except where required under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986.

We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. Existing subscribers will be notified before any price changes take effect.

If you delete your account, your data will be permanently deleted within 30 days.

6. Availability and maintenance

We aim to keep Shiphasbolted available at all times but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. We may take the app offline for maintenance, upgrades, or in response to unforeseen issues. We will provide reasonable notice of planned downtime where possible.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, [Business Name] is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app, including (but not limited to) property damage, missed maintenance, or financial loss.

Our total liability to you in connection with these terms will not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986 that cannot be excluded.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the app or email. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

9. Termination

You may close your account at any time from the Settings screen. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice.
