Terms of Use

Introduction

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Mortar — the website at mortar.design, the application, and everything we provide (together, “the Service”). Mortar is project and budget management software for interior designers.

Please note: this is a working draft pending legal review. It sets out our intended terms in general terms and will be finalised before launch. By using the Service you agree to these terms.

Use of the Service

You may use the Service only as permitted by these terms and applicable law. We may update, change, or retire features over time. We aim to keep Mortar available and reliable, but we do not promise uninterrupted service.

Accounts

• You need an account to use the application. Keep your login credentials secure — you are responsible for activity under your account.
• You must provide accurate information and keep it current.
• You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Service.
• Team members you invite use the Service under your account and these terms.

Subscriptions & Billing

• Paid plans are billed on a recurring basis and renew automatically until cancelled. Current plans and inclusions are listed on our pricing page.
• You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from your settings. Changes generally take effect at the next billing cycle.
• Unless the law requires otherwise, fees are non-refundable for partial billing periods.
• We may change pricing with reasonable notice; changes take effect at your next renewal after the notice period.

Acceptable Use

Don’t use Mortar to:

• break the law or infringe anyone’s rights;
• upload malicious code or attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the Service;
• probe, overload, or interfere with the Service or other customers’ data;
• resell or white-label the Service except where a plan expressly allows it.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules, and will tell you why unless the law prevents us.

Intellectual Property

We own the Service — the software, design, and brand. You own your data and the content you add. Neither of us gains rights in the other’s material beyond what these terms allow. Feedback you send us may be used to improve the product without obligation.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” to the maximum extent permitted by law. Mortar is a tool to help you manage projects and budgets — it does not replace your professional judgment, and any figures or forecasts it produces are estimates. Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under applicable law that cannot be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the period preceding the claim. This does not limit any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes

We may update these terms. For material changes we will give reasonable notice by email or in-app. Continuing to use the Service after the notice period means you accept the updated terms.
