Terms of Use

Terms of Service

Agreement for using the Rope local home-upkeep app.

App: Rope Last updated: 8 October 2026

Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Rope ("we", "us") for use of the Rope mobile application (the "App"). The App is a local home-upkeep log. It does not provide a cloud account or an online backend.

By checking I agree to the Terms of Use and I agree to the Privacy Policy and tapping Start Exploring, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age required in your country to use a household record-keeping app. You must not use the App if you are prohibited from doing so under applicable law.

2. Local use

Rope does not create an online account. There is no Quick Login, email sign-in, or third-party login. Records stay on this device unless you export a file through the iOS share sheet.

You are responsible for access to your device. Anyone who can unlock your phone may open Rope while a session is active.

3. Log out and deletion

You may log out at any time. Logging out returns you to the welcome screen and keeps local data on the device.

You may use Clear All Local Data in Settings. That action erases Rope data stored by the App on that device, including homes, service logs, photos, reminders, reports, and remaining Report Credits. Clearing cannot be undone. Uninstalling the App also removes local data. After a clear, you must agree again before Start Exploring.

4. Content

You may add homes, service logs, vendor names, costs, photos, dictated notes, reminders, and reports. You represent that you own that content or have permission to keep it, and that it does not infringe other people's rights.

You must not store illegal content or malware. Rope is a private log on your device. It is not a public listing, dating, gambling, or social network service. Seeded sample homes or logs are examples only.

Rope is a writing aid. It is not a licensed contractor, inspector, insurer, or emergency service. Do not rely on the App instead of qualified professionals, manufacturer instructions, or local safety rules.

5. Private use

There is no public feed and no live moderation queue. If you believe you are in danger, contact local authorities.

6. Report Credits and purchases

The App may grant a starting balance of Report Credits for new local use. Optional Report Credit packs are sold through Apple In-App Purchase. Credits are a digital extra used inside Rope to generate a report. Credits have no cash value, cannot be redeemed for money, and are not transferable to another device or person.

The Apple payment sheet may show a price. Payments, taxes, and refunds are processed by Apple under Apple media services terms. We do not receive your full payment card details. The App does not offer Restore Purchases.

A failed or cancelled Apple transaction does not add credits. Unused credits are deleted if you use Clear All Local Data, delete the App, or lose this device.

7. Permissions

The App may show system prompts for tracking, notifications, camera, photos, and microphone. The App does not use a custom permission pop-up in place of the iOS system dialog.

App Tracking Transparency and notifications appear after Start Exploring. Rope does not track you across other companies' apps or websites and does not read the Identifier for Advertisers. Notifications are used for maintenance reminders you create. Camera, photos, and microphone are requested only when you tap Take Photo, Add Photos, or Dictate Note.

8. Intellectual property

Rope, the wordmark, and the seeded catalog are owned by Rope or its licensors. You keep rights in original records you create, and you grant the device-local operation of the App the permission it needs to store and display them to you.

9. Disclaimer

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS". BECAUSE DATA LIVES ON YOUR DEVICE, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT HOMES, LOGS, PHOTOS, REMINDERS, REPORTS, OR CREDITS WILL SURVIVE DEVICE LOSS, OS WIPE, OR SOFTWARE ERROR. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROPE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, CREDITS, OR DEVICE ACCESS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR IN-APP PACKS IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR TEN UNITED STATES DOLLARS IF YOU PAID NOTHING, WHERE SUCH LIMIT IS ALLOWED.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITS. IN THOSE PLACES, LIMITS APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED.

11. Changes

We may update the App and these Terms. Continued use after an in-app update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms shown in the App.

12. Support

For help in the App, open Settings on this device. Log Out keeps your homes, logs, photos, reports, and credits. Clear All Local Data erases them and cannot be undone. If Take Photo, Add Photos, or Dictate Note does not open, allow camera, photos, or microphone in iOS Settings and try again.

13. Contact

These documents do not include a contact mailbox or a support form. They do not provide cloud storage of your records.

14. Governing law

If you use the App in the United States, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer law in your state requires otherwise. Consumers in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom keep mandatory local rights.

If a court finds a section unenforceable, the rest of the Terms still apply.
