Legal
By accessing or using the Hearthstead application at app.hearthstead.io or the marketing website at hearthstead.io (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
These Terms form an agreement between you and Skald S-Corp (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a company incorporated in Texas, USA.
Hearthstead is a free, local-first progressive web application for homestead tracking. It allows you to log land activity, creature care, water and sky observations, and daily journal entries. All data is stored locally on your device using your browser’s IndexedDB storage. Hearthstead does not require an account and does not transmit your data to any external server.
Hearthstead is provided free of charge. There are no subscription fees, in-app purchases, or premium tiers. We reserve the right to introduce optional paid features in the future, but any such changes will be communicated in advance and existing free functionality will not be removed without notice.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement. Because Hearthstead does not collect personal data, we have no mechanism to verify age, but parents and guardians are responsible for supervising use by minors.
All content you enter into Hearthstead — including journal entries, land records, creature logs, and observations — is stored locally on your device and is owned by you. We do not access, store, or claim any rights over your content.
Because your data is stored only on your device, you are solely responsible for backing it up. We cannot recover data lost due to browser storage clearance, device failure, or application uninstall.
You agree to use the Service only for its intended purpose and in compliance with applicable laws. You agree not to:
The Hearthstead application, its design, code, branding, and all associated content created by Skald S-Corp are the intellectual property of Skald S-Corp and are protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from them without our prior written consent.
The Hearthstead name, the Skald name, and associated logos are trademarks of Skald S-Corp.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
We make no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any information provided by the Service, including seasonal lore, moon phase data, or other natural calendar information.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SKALD S-CORP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
BECAUSE HEARTHSTEAD IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED $10 USD.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Skald S-Corp, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.
The Service is hosted on infrastructure provided by Vercel, Inc. Use of the Service is subject to Vercel’s Terms of Service. We are not responsible for the availability or conduct of third-party services.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes, but we are not obligated to maintain the Service indefinitely.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, please discontinue use of the Service.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas.
