Terms of Service
Last Updated: 8/10/2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between United Lanes LLC, d/b/a YardStak ("YardStak," "we," "us," or "our"), a Nebraska limited liability company, and the business entity or individual accepting these Terms ("Customer," "you," or "your") governing your access to and use of the YardStak software platform, website, mobile web applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, CLICKING "I AGREE," OR ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.
1. Eligibility
1.1 The Service is intended solely for use by businesses and business professionals in the landscaping, lawn care, and related field service industries. The Service is not available to individual consumers for personal, family, or household use.
1.2 By using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) if registering on behalf of a business entity, you have full legal authority to bind that entity to these Terms; and (c) your use of the Service will comply with all applicable laws.
1.3 YardStak reserves the right to refuse Service, suspend, or terminate accounts at its sole discretion, including accounts it believes are being used by individual consumers rather than a business.
2. The Service; Account Tiers
2.1 Free Tier
YardStak provides certain core software functionality (scheduling, routing, CRM, and related tools) free of charge to Customers. In exchange, YardStak charges a $2.00 technology fee on every invoice processed through the Service, in addition to standard third-party payment processing fees (e.g., Stripe). This fee is disclosed to your end-customers at the time of invoicing.
2.2 Non-Circumvention Requirement (Free Tier)
As a material condition of accessing the Service free of charge, Customer agrees that, for any client or job managed within YardStak, Customer will not: (a) accept cash, check, or any other form of payment outside the Service; or (b) direct, request, or permit any client to pay Customer outside of the Service; for the purpose of avoiding the technology fee described in Section 2.1 ("Non-Circumvention Requirement").
Customer acknowledges that violation of the Non-Circumvention Requirement is a material breach of these Terms.
2.3 Paid Subscription Tier
Customers who wish to accept cash, checks, or process payments outside of the Service for any client must upgrade to a paid monthly subscription plan (the "Subscription"). Upon upgrading, the Non-Circumvention Requirement in Section 2.2 no longer applies to that Customer's account.
2.4 Growth Add-On
Customer may separately opt into a premium add-on subscription unlocking additional marketing and growth features, including an AI website generator, AI-generated local SEO blog content, an AI-powered website quote capture tool, automated review request messaging, and two-way customer messaging tools (the "Growth Add-On").
Third-Party Integrations Required. The SMS/text and email messaging functionality within the Growth Add-On is provided as a technical integration only. Customer must independently obtain, configure, and maintain its own third-party accounts and API credentials (e.g., Twilio for SMS, MailerLite for email) to use this functionality. YardStak does not send messages on Customer's behalf, does not act as a telecom carrier or email service provider, and has no visibility into or responsibility for the content of messages sent through Customer's connected third-party accounts, except as necessary to provide the technical integration itself.
2.5 Website Ownership
Any website generated using YardStak's AI Website Generator is made available to Customer solely as part of, and for the duration of, an active Subscription or Growth Add-On subscription that includes this feature. If Customer's applicable subscription is cancelled, downgraded, or terminated for any reason, YardStak may disable, remove, or discontinue hosting of the generated website without further notice. Customer does not own or retain any right to continued hosting of the website independent of an active subscription.
3. Account Enforcement, Suspension, and Termination
3.1 Invoice-Based Freezing
If Customer accumulates ten (10) or more open/unpaid invoices that are more than forty-five (45) days past due, YardStak may automatically restrict Customer's access to all modules of the Service except the Settings and Billing modules ("Frozen State"). To resolve a Frozen State, Customer must contact YardStak support at support@yardstak.com. YardStak may, in its discretion, offer Customer the option to (a) upgrade to a paid Subscription, or (b) close the account, including where Customer indicates it intends to operate on a cash-only basis going forward.
3.2 Termination for Non-Circumvention Violations
YardStak reserves the right to suspend or terminate any Free Tier account, without prior notice, if YardStak determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Customer has violated the Non-Circumvention Requirement in Section 2.2.
3.3 Termination for Other Cause
YardStak may suspend or terminate Customer's account, without notice, for any of the following: (a) Customer's use of the Service for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purpose; (b) Customer's abuse, harassment, or mistreatment of its own end-customers through the Service; (c) Nonpayment beyond the Frozen State described in Section 3.1; (d) Breach of any other material provision of these Terms.
3.4 Effect of Termination
Upon termination, Customer's right to access the Service immediately ceases. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11) will survive.
4. Fees; No Refunds
4.1 Subscription and Growth Add-On fees are billed in advance on a monthly, recurring basis until cancelled.
4.2 All fees are non-refundable. Except as expressly required by applicable law, YardStak does not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods, unused features, downgrades, or cancellations, under any circumstances.
4.3 The $2.00 per-invoice technology fee described in Section 2.1 is earned and non-refundable once an invoice is processed through the Service.
5. Customer Data and Responsibilities
5.1 Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of all data it inputs into the Service, including end-customer personal information, property data, chemical/pesticide application records, and any content used to generate AI website or blog content.
5.2 Compliance Responsibility. Customer is solely responsible for complying with all laws applicable to its business, including without limitation: (a) state and federal pesticide/chemical application and recordkeeping requirements; (b) TCPA, CAN-SPAM, CTIA, and 10DLC requirements applicable to any SMS or email communications sent through Customer's own connected Twilio, MailerLite, or similar third-party accounts; and (c) all consumer protection and data privacy laws applicable to Customer's collection and use of its end-customers' personal information.
5.3 Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained all necessary rights, consents, and permissions from its end-customers to submit their personal information to the Service and to permit YardStak to process that information as described in the Privacy Policy.
5.4 Data Export. During an active subscription, and for thirty (30) days following account termination or closure, Customer may request an export of its core business data (including client records, job/scheduling history, and invoice history) in a standard, commonly-used electronic format (e.g., CSV) by contacting support@yardstak.com. YardStak may charge a reasonable fee for exports involving unusual volume or custom formatting. YardStak is under no obligation to retain or export data beyond the retention periods described in the Privacy Policy, and is not obligated to export GPS, compliance, or audit log data in any particular format.
5.5 No Uptime Guarantee. YardStak will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the availability of the Service, but does not guarantee any specific level of uptime or availability, and the Service is not currently offered with a formal Service Level Agreement (SLA). Planned maintenance, third-party service outages (including but not limited to Stripe, Clerk, Vercel, or TiDB), and factors outside YardStak's reasonable control may result in downtime.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAWNBOOK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. LAWNBOOK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY AI-GENERATED CONTENT (INCLUDING WEBSITE COPY OR BLOG CONTENT) WILL BE ACCURATE, ERROR-FREE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
7. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LAWNBOOK, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF LAWNBOOK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LAWNBOOK'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO LAWNBOOK IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) FIFTY DOLLARS ($50).
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIABILITY LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER.
8. Indemnification
Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless YardStak and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) Customer's provision of landscaping, lawn care, chemical/pesticide application, or related field services to its end-customers, including any property damage, personal injury, or bodily harm; (b) Customer's violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right, including applicable pesticide/chemical application laws; (c) injuries or claims involving Customer's crew members or subcontractors; (d) Customer's breach of these Terms; and (e) Customer's use of any third-party integration (including Twilio or MailerLite) connected through the Service.
9. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
9.1 Binding Arbitration
Except as set forth below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted in Lancaster County, Nebraska, or, at Customer's election, remotely by video conference. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
9.2 Class Action Waiver
CUSTOMER AND LAWNBOOK EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Neither Customer nor YardStak may act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any claim.
9.3 Exceptions
Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property or confidentiality obligations.
9.4 Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except where the Federal Arbitration Act applies to Section 9.1–9.2. Venue for any matter not subject to arbitration shall lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lancaster County, Nebraska.
10. Modifications to the Service and Terms
YardStak may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised Terms and updating the "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. YardStak may also modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.
11. General Provisions
11.1 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between Customer and YardStak regarding the Service.
11.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
11.3 No Waiver. YardStak's failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

11.5 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between Customer and YardStak.
