HomePerty Terms of Service

1. The service

HomePerty is a property-management app for landlords and short-term-rental hosts. It works in two modes:

• Local mode (default, available to everyone, including free-tier users): all data you enter is stored on your device only. No account is required.
• Cloud Backup (included with Pro): once you connect a Google account, the App automatically keeps backups of your data on Google Firebase — up to the last 10 versions — so you can restore on any device. Backups are encrypted in transit and at rest and are accessible only to your account. See §5 and the Privacy Policy for details.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into these Terms to use HomePerty. The App is a tool for adults managing real property and finances; it is not directed at children.

3. Accounts

• Using core app functionality never requires an account.
• If you choose to sign in (currently via Google; other providers may be added later), you're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account.
• You must provide accurate information when creating or connecting an account, and keep it up to date.
• We may suspend or terminate an account that we reasonably believe is being used fraudulently, to abuse the licensing system, or in violation of these Terms.

3a. Support-assisted recovery

Cloud backups require no separate password. If you need help recovering data, support can assist after verifying that you control the Google account the backups belong to. We follow the access limitations in the Privacy Policy: backup contents are accessed only for support you request, abuse prevention, or legal compliance.

4. Free tier, Pro, and license keys

• The Free tier includes every feature of the App for a single property, at no cost, with no account required.
• Pro removes the property limit and unlocks Cloud Backup (§5). It can be unlocked either by:
  • Redeeming a license key — a one-time code that is validated against our licensing server and, once redeemed, is bound to that activation. Keys are non-transferable and may be revoked if we reasonably believe they were obtained fraudulently, shared publicly, or resold without authorization; and/or
  • A paid recurring subscription (via Google Play Billing, when available) — see §5.

5. Subscriptions & Cloud Backup

• Billing: paid Pro subscriptions, when offered, are billed and managed through Google Play's subscription system. Pricing, billing frequency, free-trial terms (if any), and renewal terms will be shown to you by Google Play at the time of purchase and are governed by Google Play's Terms of Service in addition to these Terms.
• Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand through the Google Play Store subscription management screen.
• Cancellation: you can cancel anytime through Google Play. Cancelling stops future renewals; you generally keep subscriber access through the end of the period you already paid for. Cancellation is not immediate removal of access unless required by law or by Google Play's own refund processing.
• Refunds: handled per Google Play's refund policy. We do not process payments or refunds directly, since Google Play is the merchant of record for subscriptions.
• Cloud Backup is included with Pro: automatic backup runs while you hold Pro (via an active subscription or a valid license key) and have a Google account connected. If your Pro status lapses (subscription cancelled, key revoked), the App stops creating new cloud backups; your existing backups are retained for a grace period (up to 30 days) in case Pro is restored, after which they may be deleted. Your local, on-device data is never affected by Pro status.
• The service keeps up to 10 backup versions per account, replacing the oldest automatically. It is a backup/restore and device-migration feature — not a real-time collaboration or continuous-sync service, and when the same account is used on several devices, the most recent backup wins (older states remain available in version history).
• Connecting a Google account is your choice — users who prefer to keep data local-only simply never sign in, and the App remains fully functional.
• Service dependency: Cloud Backup runs on Google Firebase infrastructure. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of Firebase services, and outages, changes, or discontinuation of Firebase products by Google are outside our control. We recommend also keeping local encrypted backups (built into the App) regardless of whether you use Cloud Backup.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the App for any unlawful purpose, or to store or process data you don't have the right to store;
• attempt to circumvent, reverse-engineer, or tamper with the licensing, entitlement, or Cloud Backup access-control systems, except to the extent such restriction is not permitted by applicable law;
• interfere with or disrupt the App's licensing or cloud infrastructure, or attempt to access another user's cloud-stored data; or
• redistribute, resell, or sublicense the App's source code or compiled binaries beyond what's permitted by our license terms.

7. Your content

You retain ownership of all data you enter into HomePerty (property records, tenant information, financial data, documents, photos, etc.). We claim no ownership over it. For Cloud Backup users, we store your backup archives solely to provide the backup/restore service, as described in the Privacy Policy — access is restricted to your account by security rules, and we access backup contents only for support you request, abuse prevention, or legal compliance. We do not use your content to train models, for advertising, or for any other purpose.

You're responsible for the legality and accuracy of the content you store in the App, including compliance with any tenant-data or financial-record laws applicable to your jurisdiction.

8. Intellectual property

HomePerty's software, design, and branding are proprietary to KingNerd. Third-party open-source packages bundled with the App remain under their own licenses, viewable in-app under Settings → About → Open-source licenses.

9. Disclaimers

• The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, except where such disclaimers are not permitted by applicable law.
• The App's calculators, reports, and tax/depreciation tools are estimates for informational purposes only and are not financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Consult a qualified professional before making financial, legal, or tax decisions.
• We do not guarantee the App, Cloud Backup, or any third-party service it depends on (Google Firebase, Google Maps, Google Play) will be error-free, uninterrupted, or available at all times. Cloud Backup is a convenience feature — you remain responsible for keeping your own backups of important records.

See also our general Disclaimers, which apply alongside this section.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, KingNerd (Gabriel) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or profits, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the App, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the amount you paid, if any, for HomePerty (e.g., a license key or subscription payments) in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you are not affected or restricted by these Terms.

11. Termination

• By you: uninstall the App at any time; cancel any subscription through Google Play; delete your cloud backup and account via Settings → Cloud backup → Delete cloud data & account.
• By us: we may suspend or terminate your access (including a Pro license or Cloud Backup access) if you violate these Terms, misuse the licensing system, or if required by law. Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice first.
• Termination does not entitle you to a refund of amounts already paid, except as required by Google Play's refund policy or applicable law.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in this document's effective date and, where appropriate, announced in the App's About screen. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise — consistent with the company-wide KingNerd Terms of Service. Any dispute not resolved informally may be brought before the competent courts, without prejudice to any right you have to bring a claim in the courts of your own country of residence under mandatory consumer-protection rules (for example, for consumers in the EU or UK).
