Terms of Service
Effective Date: February 22, 2026 Last Updated: February 22, 2026 Entity: Snapline LLC
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("Contractor," "you") and Snapline LLC ("Snapline," "we," "us"). By creating an account or using the Snapline platform, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree, do not use Snapline.
1. Service Description
Snapline is a contractor operations platform for residential service businesses. The platform provides:
- Job management with a single shareable link per job (snaplineops.com/job/...)
- Customer communication via email notifications and web push
- Quoting, invoicing, and payment collection via Stripe Connect
- Photo documentation and optional AI-powered analysis
- A Progressive Web App (PWA) installable on mobile devices
- Team management (Crew and Shop tiers)
Snapline is provided as a web application at snaplineops.com. There is no native mobile app — the PWA provides the mobile experience.
2. Account Registration
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into contracts. Snapline accounts are for businesses — you represent that you are operating a legitimate contracting business or are authorized to act on behalf of one.
Account Requirements
- You must provide accurate, complete information during registration
- Each organization gets one Snapline account (additional users are added within the account)
- You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure
- You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
- You are responsible for all activity under your account
Account Termination by Snapline
We may suspend or terminate your account if you: - Violate these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy - Fail to pay subscription fees after the grace period (see Section 5) - Engage in fraud or illegal activity - Provide false information during registration
For violations other than fraud or illegal activity, we will provide 30 days' written notice before termination and an opportunity to cure the violation.
3. Free Trial
Snapline offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features at your selected plan tier.
- No payment method is required to start a trial
- AI usage quotas apply during the trial (based on selected tier)
- At the end of the trial, you must add a payment method to continue using Snapline
- If you do not add a payment method, your account enters read-only mode (you can view data but not create new jobs)
- Trial data is retained for 90 days after trial expiry, then permanently deleted
4. Subscription Plans and Billing
Plan Tiers
| Tier | Monthly Price | Users Included | AI Requests/Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | $49 | 1 | 50 |
| Crew | $79 | Up to 5 | 250 |
| Shop | $149 + $20/user over 8 | 8 base | 400 base |
All plans include unlimited jobs, quotes, invoices, email notifications, web push, photo uploads, Stripe payment processing, and review automation.
Billing
- Subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe
- Billing begins when your trial ends (or immediately if you skip the trial)
- All fees are in US dollars
- Stripe payment processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) are passed through to you for customer payments via Stripe Connect — these are Stripe's fees, not ours
Plan Changes
- Upgrades take effect immediately. You are charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your billing cycle.
- Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You keep your current tier's features until then.
- Adding users (Shop tier) takes effect immediately with prorated billing.
- User count limits are enforced on downgrade — you must remove users before downgrading if you exceed the lower tier's limit.
Price Changes
We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' written notice (via email). Price changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle after the notice period. If you disagree with a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.
Taxes
Subscription fees may be subject to sales tax depending on your location. Stripe Tax calculates and collects applicable taxes automatically. Tax amounts are shown during checkout.
5. Payment Failure and Grace Period
If a payment fails:
| Day | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Payment fails. You receive an email asking you to update your payment method. Full access continues. |
| Day 5 | Stripe retries payment. If it fails again, you receive another email. |
| Day 8 | Your account enters read-only mode. You can view data but not create new jobs or use AI features. |
| Day 9 | Stripe retries payment a final time. |
| Day 14 | If all retries fail, your subscription is cancelled. Read-only access continues for 90 days (see Section 7). |
You can update your payment method at any time during this period to restore full access immediately.
6. AI Features and Quotas
What AI Does
Snapline offers optional AI features: - Photo analysis — identifies hazards, estimates equipment age, provides context (runs in the background on upload) - Text polish — improves the clarity and tone of notes, quotes, and invoices (triggered by "Polish with AI" button)
AI Quotas
Each plan includes a monthly AI request allowance (see Section 4). One photo analysis or one text polish = one AI request.
- Quotas reset monthly on your billing date
- Unused requests do not roll over
- AI quota is shared across all users in your organization
AI Overages
When you exceed your monthly quota, you can: - Wait until your quota resets next month - Purchase additional requests at $0.10 per request (minimum purchase: 100 requests for $10) - Continue using Snapline without AI features
AI Disclaimer
AI features are provided as suggestions only. You are responsible for reviewing and editing all AI output before sharing it with customers. Snapline makes no warranty that AI output is accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose. Do not rely on AI analysis for safety-critical decisions (e.g., structural assessments, hazard determinations) without independent professional verification.
7. Cancellation and Refunds
How to Cancel
You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
After Cancellation
| Period | Access |
|---|---|
| Until end of billing period | Full access to all features |
| 90 days after period ends | Read-only access (view your data, export CSVs) |
| After 90 days | All data is permanently deleted |
Refund Policy
Snapline does not issue refunds for partial billing periods. When you cancel, you keep full access until the end of the period you've already paid for.
Resubscribing
You can resubscribe at any time during the 90-day read-only period to restore full access to your existing data. After 90 days, data deletion is irreversible.
Data Export
You can export your data (jobs, customers, quotes, invoices) as CSV files at any time, including during the 90-day read-only period.
8. Stripe Connect (Customer Payments)
How It Works
Snapline uses Stripe Connect to enable your customers to pay you for completed work. When a customer pays via a Snapline payment link:
- Payment goes directly to your Stripe Connect account
- Stripe settles funds to your linked bank account
- Snapline may deduct an application fee (disclosed in-app before you enable payments)
Snapline's Role
Snapline is a software platform that generates payment links. Snapline is not a party to the financial transaction between you and your customer. Snapline never holds, controls, or has access to customer payment funds.
Stripe's Terms
Your use of Stripe Connect is subject to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement. You must complete Stripe's onboarding (identity verification, bank account linking) before you can accept customer payments.
Compliance
Stripe handles all payment compliance, including: - KYC (Know Your Customer) verification for your account - 1099-K tax reporting for payments exceeding $600/year - Money transmitter licensing in all 50 states - Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance
9. Customer Data and Privacy
Controller/Processor Relationship
You (the contractor) are the data controller for your customers' personal information. Snapline is the data processor — we process customer data on your behalf according to your instructions (i.e., normal use of the platform).
Your Responsibilities
As the data controller, you are responsible for: - Having a legal basis to collect and store customer information - Informing customers that you use Snapline to manage their data - Responding to customer privacy requests (right to know, right to delete) - Complying with applicable privacy laws (CCPA, state laws) for your customers' data
Snapline's Responsibilities
As the data processor, Snapline will: - Process customer data only for the purpose of operating the platform - Not sell, rent, or share customer data with third parties (beyond our subprocessors) - Notify you promptly if we discover a data breach affecting your customers - Delete customer data per our retention policy when you cancel your account
See our Data Processing Addendum for the formal agreement.
10. Intellectual Property
Your Data
You own all data you create on Snapline — job records, photos, customer information, quotes, invoices, notes. Snapline does not claim ownership of your content.
You grant Snapline a limited license to store, process, display, and transmit your data solely for the purpose of operating the service. This license ends when your data is deleted.
AI-Generated Content
Content generated by AI features (photo analysis text, polished notes) is your property once generated. Snapline does not claim ownership of AI-generated output.
Snapline's IP
Snapline owns the platform, software, design, documentation, and brand. These Terms do not transfer any Snapline intellectual property to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of Snapline's software.
Photos and AI Training
Your photos are never used to train AI models — not by Snapline, and not by our AI provider (Anthropic). Photos are processed ephemerally for analysis and are not retained by the AI service after the request completes.
11. Acceptable Use
You agree to comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which describes permitted and prohibited uses of the platform. The AUP is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
12. Limitation of Liability
Cap on Damages
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Snapline's total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the service is limited to the total fees you paid to Snapline in the 12 months preceding the claim.
No Consequential Damages
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Snapline is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to: - Loss of revenue, profits, or business - Loss of data (beyond our stated retention commitments) - Cost of substitute services - Damages resulting from AI output
"As Is" Service
Snapline is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Exceptions
Nothing in this section limits liability for: - Snapline's gross negligence or willful misconduct - Snapline's breach of its data protection obligations - Liability that cannot be excluded by law
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Snapline and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from:
- Your use of the Snapline platform
- Your interactions with your customers
- Your violation of these Terms, the AUP, or applicable law
- Your customers' claims related to work you performed or failed to perform
- Content you upload or generate using the platform
14. Suspension and Termination
By You
You may cancel your subscription at any time (see Section 7).
By Snapline for Cause
We may suspend or terminate your account immediately for: - Fraud or illegal activity - Severe AUP violations (harassment, harmful content) - Actions that threaten the security or stability of the platform
By Snapline Without Cause
We may discontinue your account with 30 days' written notice for any reason. You retain access through the end of your current billing period.
Effect of Termination
Upon termination: - Your access to the platform is suspended (immediate for cause, end of period for cancellation) - Read-only access continues for 90 days - After 90 days, all data is permanently deleted - Sections that should survive termination (limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) continue to apply
15. Modifications to Terms
We may update these Terms as the platform evolves. We will:
- Email you at least 30 days before material changes take effect
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document
- Clearly describe what changed
Continued use of Snapline after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with the changes, you may cancel before they take effect.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Jurisdiction
Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of Snapline will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
Informal Resolution First
Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at support@snaplineops.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
17. General Provisions
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Data Processing Addendum, and Cookie & Storage Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Snapline.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment
You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. Snapline may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force Majeure
Snapline is not liable for failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, wars, pandemics, internet outages, power failures, or government actions.
Notices
Notices to you will be sent to the email address on your account. Notices to Snapline should be sent to support@snaplineops.com.
