Terms of Service — DRAFT
STATUS: DRAFT for attorney review — NOT legal advice, NOT final, NOT in force. Built on
docs/research/legal-docs-outline.md§2 and the map-feature research. Every [LAWYER] needs counselreview; every [DECISION] needs an owner decision before finalizing. English is drafted first and is
the intended controlling language [LAWYER/DECISION]; PT + ES translations are produced after
attorney sign-off (translating unreviewed legal text is wasted work). The app name is "Ganavo"
(
ganavo.app, seedocs/research/rebrand-candidates.md); trademark clearance remains a [LAWYER] item.
Effective date: [to be set at launch] · Last updated: 2026-07-06 (draft)
1. Who we are & what this is
Ganavo ("Ganavo", "we", "us", the "App") is a software toolset for independent
workers, service providers, and small businesses — contractors, cleaners, lawyers, bakers,
consultants, designers, tutors, and anyone who works for themselves — to create quotes and
invoices, capture jobs by voice, share documents with
their clients, and collect client acceptance. We provide tools. We are not a party to any agreement,
job, quote, invoice, or payment between you and your clients (or, where the Directory is available, between
providers and consumers). We are not your employer, agent, partner, or joint venturer, and we do not
guarantee any outcome, transaction, or payment.
2. Eligibility
You must be 18 or older, located in the United States, and able to form a binding contract. By using
the App you represent that you meet these requirements. [LAWYER: minor-use posture / COPPA.]
3. Your account
email (and, for some features, verify a phone number) to recover and secure your data.
- The App may create an anonymous account so you can start immediately; you may optionally add a backup
- You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access credentials secure.
- One account per person. Do not sell, share, or transfer your account.
- You may delete your account in the App at any time (Section 12).

are not shared with other users. We access them only to provide and secure the service.
quote, and to translate quotes. AI output may be wrong or incomplete. Every AI-generated quote shows a
mandatory "review before sending" notice; **you are responsible for reviewing and correcting any document
before you send it.** We do not warrant AI accuracy. How voice, transcripts, and text are processed and
retained is described in the Privacy Policy.

signature, and the date/time as the client's electronic acceptance of that quote. **The agreement is
between you and your client. Ganavo provides the tool used to review and sign the quote and is not
a party** to your agreement, and makes no representation about the legal enforceability of any quote,
signature, or agreement. **[LAWYER: E-SIGN/UETA consent-to-electronic-records language; enforceability

6. Payments happen between you and your client
The App does not process or hold funds in connection with quotes or invoices. Any payment, deposit,
schedule, contract, warranty, or dispute is strictly between you and your client. If and when in-App card
payments are offered, they will be processed by a third-party processor with the service provider (you) as
merchant of record, and Ganavo will never hold your funds — separate terms will apply [Phase 4 — Stripe].
7. Your content & license to operate the service
You own the content you put into the App (business info, logo, quote/invoice text, photos, client details).
You grant us a limited license to host, store, process, transmit, translate, and display that content
solely to provide the service to you (for example, rendering your quote to your client, or transcribing
your voice note). You represent that you have the rights to the content you upload, including any photos,
and that it does not infringe others' rights or violate law.
8. Acceptable use
Do not: (a) use the App for unlawful, fraudulent, infringing, harassing, or deceptive purposes; (b) upload
content you lack rights to; (c) impersonate a person or business; (d) attempt to breach security, access
other users' data, scrape, or circumvent rate limits or moderation; (e) misuse the AI features to generate
unlawful content; or (f) use the client-link/acceptance feature to misrepresent what a client agreed to.
9. Directory (if and when available)
The public business Directory is not part of every release. These terms apply only if you use it. If you
create a public listing, additional Directory Listing Terms and, for ratings, a **Ratings & Reviews
Policy** apply and are incorporated by reference. In summary:

them. [LAWYER: exact non-verification disclaimer; regulated-trade + "notario" language.]

website or social media. You must have the rights to any photo you upload (Section 7), and links must
point to your own or your business's pages. Links open to third-party sites we don't control; we may
scan them for safety but do not endorse or guarantee them, and an **interstitial warning is shown before
you leave Ganavo. Following an external link is at your own risk. [LAWYER: Section 230-consistent
phrasing; do not draw legal conclusions about linked content.]**

- Reporting: you can report a listing or rating (including a "this is my business" impersonation claim);
- We may remove content or suspend access to comply with law, protect users, or enforce these terms.
11. Prohibited categories & third-party links
Certain uses are not allowed (for example, soliciting rideshare/TNC pickups outside a licensed platform).
External links you post or tap open third-party sites we don't control; we may scan links for safety but
do not guarantee them, and an interstitial warning is shown before you leave. **[LAWYER: prohibited-category
list; Section 230-consistent phrasing — never a legal conclusion.]**
12. Account deletion
You can delete your account in the App. Deleting removes your profile and, if present, your public
listing and CRM data, subject to limited retention required by law or for security/anti-abuse. **Ratings you
authored (if any) are retained and re-attributed to a former user**, so deleting an account cannot be used to
erase honest feedback about others. [LAWYER: retention exceptions; ratings-persistence disclosure.]
13. Disclaimers
THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, express
or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not
warrant AI output, the accuracy or legality of any listing, the identity/licensing/insurance of any
business, or that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. [LAWYER: MA consumer-law carve-outs.]
14. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ganavo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special,
consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill; and our total liability for any
claim will be capped [LAWYER: cap amount/mechanism; MA law].
15. Third-party content & responsibility
The App may host content provided by users (listings, ratings, quote content). Users are responsible for the
content they provide. We are not responsible for the conduct of, or agreements between, users, service
providers, and their clients. **[LAWYER: phrasing consistent with platform-liability principles; avoid legal
conclusions.]**
16. Subscriptions & purchases
If paid plans are offered, they may be sold as Apple App Store / Google Play in-app purchases and are
subject to the applicable store's terms; prices, tiers, renewal, and refunds will be disclosed at purchase.
[DECISION — money: Phase 5. Do not draft price/renewal terms until decided.]
17. Governing law & disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-
laws rules. [DECISION + LAWYER: arbitration clause + class-action waiver — yes/no; venue.]
18. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms; we will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date and, for material
changes, provide notice in-App (and by email where available). Continued use after changes take effect means
you accept them.
