Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Lieu & Legacy (the “service”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the service.

Service Description

Lieu & Legacy provides an independent organizational workspace for family estate information. The service helps users record document locations, family contacts, account notes, property details, final wishes, and executor instructions. It is a tool for organizing and communicating information — not a legal, tax, financial, or estate planning service.

Use of Software

Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the service for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our service without our written permission.

User Responsibilities

• — Provide accurate and current information when creating your account
• — Maintain the security of your account credentials
• — Use the service in compliance with all applicable laws
• — Not share your account with unauthorized individuals
• — Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service or related systems

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the service to:

• — Upload or store illegal, confidential, infringing, or abusive content
• — Store passwords, bank credentials, or full financial account numbers
• — Violate any applicable law or regulation
• — Interfere with or disrupt the service or servers
• — Attempt to access other users' accounts without authorization

User Content

You are solely responsible for all content you enter into Lieu & Legacy, including family information, document location notes, personal wishes, and executor instructions. You retain full ownership of all data you enter. We claim no intellectual property rights over your content. You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and appropriateness of the information you store in the service.

Not Legal, Financial, Tax, or Medical Advice

Lieu & Legacy is an independent organizational tool only. It does not provide legal, estate, tax, financial, investment, medical, probate, therapy, genealogy, or professional advice. Nothing on this website or within the service constitutes professional advice of any kind. Always consult qualified professionals for legal, financial, estate, tax, or medical decisions.

No Legally Binding Documents

Documents, notes, and records created within Lieu & Legacy are personal organization records only. They are not legally binding documents and do not fulfill any legal requirement, including but not limited to wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, or other legal instruments. Lieu & Legacy does not create, draft, or provide legal documents.

No Guarantees

Lieu & Legacy does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information stored in the service. We do not guarantee family agreement, legal validity, preservation outcome, emergency readiness, probate outcome, tax savings, or any specific result from using the service. The service is provided to help you organize information — the effectiveness of that organization depends on many factors outside our control.

Subscriptions and Payments

Certain features of Lieu & Legacy require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Please refer to our refund policy for details on refunds.

Third-Party Services

The service integrates with third-party services (such as Stripe for payments and Neon for database hosting). Your use of these third-party services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the service at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for conduct that we determine violates these terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. You may export your data before termination.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Lieu & Legacy, its owners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenue, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the service. In no event shall our total liability exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months prior to the claim.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these terms or the service shall be resolved in the courts of Alberta, Canada.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new terms on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
