Terms of Use

Agreement and eligibility

Measure The Lawn is operated by Yardware LLC, a Missouri limited liability company doing business as Yardware. A Yardware Account provides identity for Account and cloud-project features. “Service” means Measure The Lawn and the Yardware Account features offered through it.

By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use it for an organization, you represent that you can bind that organization. The Service is intended for the United States. Anonymous measuring is available without an Account. To create an Account, you must control the email address used and confirm that you are at least 18, are located in the United States, agree to these Terms, and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. Anonymous use does not currently require an age or location confirmation.

Your Account and the Service

Account access uses a six-digit email PIN. Each PIN expires after ten minutes, is single-use, rotates on resend, and is disabled after five unsuccessful attempts. You are responsible for access to your email and devices, for keeping PINs confidential, and for notifying us of suspected unauthorized use.

A Free Yardware Account permits one active Measure The Lawn cloud project. Our servers determine project ownership, capacity, conflicts, and reasonable technical or abuse limits. Yardware Pro, paid plans, subscriptions, billing, managed Project Share, and collaboration are not currently offered.

We may add, remove, modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue any feature, integration, storage allowance, usage limit, eligibility rule, or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, subject to applicable law. We do not promise that any feature or version will remain available. Cloud saves may be delayed, unavailable, or conflict with a newer revision, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted service, synchronization, or recovery on another device.

Cloud projects and browser recovery

A cloud project may contain its name and note, measurement names and types, coordinate geometry, exclusions, and related save information. Address-search text, map tiles, calculated material totals, selection, undo history, and the device camera are not stored in a cloud-project snapshot.

Your browser keeps the only full-workspace recovery record, including information such as geometry, viewport, and interaction context. It is separate from the cloud and is not a guaranteed backup. It may be replaced, cleared through the Service or logout, removed through a deletion choice, aged out, or deleted by browser or device controls.

Your content

You retain your rights in project names, notes, measurement names, geometry, and other content you submit (“User Content”). You are responsible for that content and for having permission to use, save, and share it.

You grant Yardware a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, transmit, display, back up, and protect User Content as reasonably needed to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Service; provide features you choose; comply with law; and enforce these Terms. We may allow our service providers to exercise this license only on our behalf for those purposes. This operating license ends when User Content is deleted, except for temporary backup, security, provider, and legally required records. Provider connections are governed separately by the section below and our Privacy Policy.

Basic hosted sharing

A basic hosted share publishes a snapshot of one selected measurement, not a whole project. It may include geometry, cut-outs, measurement type, calculated dimensions, and a static map preview. The share expires after three days, and anyone with the valid link can view or forward it during that time. Existing links remain readable until expiration even if the related project or Account is deleted.

Do not share confidential information, another person’s personal information, or property information you lack authority to disclose. We may remove a share early to address security, abuse, legal, or operational concerns.

Provider connections and offers

Account signup includes notice about Provider connections and offers. Unless you opt out using Do not sell or share my information in Account Settings, Yardware may provide limited information from your Account and projects to service providers and business partners who may contact you about relevant quotes, services, and offers. Yardware may be paid for these connections.

This program excludes precise location, measurement geometry, project notes, and other sensitive or free-text project content. An opt-out stops future disclosures through the program but cannot retrieve information already provided.

Recipients are independent third parties. We may decide which recipients are eligible, but we do not guarantee or endorse their availability, identity, licensing, insurance, qualifications, pricing, quotes, communications, work, or results. We are not a party to any agreement or transaction between you and a recipient. You are responsible for evaluating a recipient before hiring or paying them.

Acceptable use

You may not:

• Break the law, infringe rights, invade privacy, impersonate others, transmit malicious content, or access another person’s Account or project without permission.
• Interfere with security or infrastructure or bypass access, rate, or technical limits.
• Scrape or automate access without written permission, reverse engineer except where law permits, or resell or misuse the Service or third-party map content.
• Use the Service in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws.

Measurements are estimates

Measurements and calculations are planning estimates based on imagery, location data, user-drawn geometry, settings, assumptions, and rounding. The Service is not a survey, legal-boundary determination, engineering design, code review, site inspection, supplier guarantee, or professional advice. Verify boundaries, site conditions, quantities, supplier instructions, and local requirements before making a purchase, quote, contract, construction, or other consequential decision.

Our service and third parties

Except for User Content, we or our licensors own the Service, including its software, design, branding, and original content. These Terms give you a limited right to use the Service; they do not transfer ownership.

The Service relies on third-party hosting, storage, email, analytics, map, and location services that may change or become unavailable. The Service includes Google Maps features and content. Use of those features is subject to the current Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service (opens in a new tab) and Google Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).

Deletion and termination

You may delete a cloud project or verify a new email PIN to delete your Account. When applicable, the product separately asks whether to keep or remove matching browser recovery. Account deletion removes active Account and cloud-project data from primary systems, but limited deletion, consent, disclosure, email, backup, security, and provider records may remain while reasonably necessary. Deletion does not retrieve information already disclosed to another party. Hosted shares remain available for their three-day life unless removed earlier.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to protect the Service or others, address abuse or a breach of these Terms, or comply with law. We will provide notice when reasonably practical, but urgent action may occur without advance notice.

Disclaimers, liability, and indemnity

Assumption of risk and disclaimer. You use the Service, its results, User Content, public links, third-party services, and any decision based on them at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without express, implied, or statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, accuracy, availability, security, preservation of data, or uninterrupted operation. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Service is to stop using it.

Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yardware LLC and its affiliates, personnel, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from or related to the Service, whether based in contract, tort (including our negligence or fault), strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory. This exclusion includes inaccurate measurements or results; reliance on map or location data; unavailable, delayed, conflicting, lost, altered, or disclosed data; unauthorized access; service or provider changes; public links; purchases, bids, projects, materials, or labor; the acts of users or third parties; indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; and lost profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or opportunity. For the free Service, we will have no monetary liability. If we offer a paid product, our total aggregate liability for that product will not exceed the amount you actually paid us for that specific product during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or rights that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited.

Indemnity. To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims and reasonable costs arising from your User Content, unlawful or unauthorized use, violation of these Terms, or violation of another person’s rights, except to the extent caused by our negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law.

General terms

Missouri law governs these Terms, except where another law cannot be excluded. Subject to mandatory rights, disputes must be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Missouri. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them with a business transfer or by law. We are not liable for events beyond our reasonable control. These Terms are the complete agreement about the Service.

We may update these Terms prospectively. We will post the new date and provide additional notice—and request renewed acknowledgement when legally required or reasonably appropriate—for a material change. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your Account before the change takes effect. Questions or legal notices may be sent to greenerlawnmo@gmail.com.
