Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-05-15T00:00:00.000Z
Interim Terms of Service — pending Termly final pass. This page accurately describes the v1.0 release and is suitable to host as the Terms of Use URL for App Store Connect submission. The final, lawyer-reviewed version will be generated via Termly and replace this content before public launch. For questions, email support@alignbefore.com.
Agreement to these terms
By downloading, installing, or using the AlignBefore app, or by purchasing a subscription or one-time offer through the app, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
These terms are between you and Jeremiah Svaren, doing business as LeadingLocal (“AlignBefore,” “we,” “us”). They apply alongside the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions that already govern your App Store account.
The service
AlignBefore is an iOS application that helps contractors capture before-and-after photos with an alignment overlay, organize them into jobs, and export side-by-side or stacked images. Version 1.0 stores your data locally on your iPhone; there are no accounts and no server-side storage.
The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We may change, suspend, or end any feature, including subscription tiers, with reasonable notice.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, capable of forming a binding contract, and not barred by law from using the app. AlignBefore is intended for business use by contractors and similar trade professionals.
Subscriptions and the Founders’ Offer
AlignBefore is sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase system. All billing, refund processing, and subscription management is handled by Apple.
Free tier. You can use the camera, templates, and basic exports at no charge, subject to active-job and watermark limits described in the app.
Pro. $19.99 per month or $149 per year (the annual cadence is the equivalent of about $12.42 per month). Subscriptions renew automatically through your Apple ID at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. Prices may vary by country to match Apple’s local-currency tiers.
Founders’ Offer. A one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase of $99 USD that grants permanent Pro-level entitlement, a “Founding Member” badge inside the app, and a 30% discount on a future Team plan if and when you choose to purchase it. The Founders’ Offer is limited to the first 100 customers and is non-transferable. Once 100 spots are claimed, the offer closes permanently. Because the Founders’ Offer is non-consumable, it is not a “lifetime subscription” in the auto-renewing sense; it is a one-time purchase that grants ongoing access.
Team. A future plan ($39/month flat or $349/year flat, no per-seat fees) referenced for reference only. Team is not available in v1.0 and is not for sale through the current build. References on this website are forward-looking and do not constitute an offer.
Renewals and cancellation. Auto-renewing subscriptions automatically charge your Apple ID at each renewal date. To cancel, go to iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Refunds. Refunds are processed by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms. To request one, use reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support. AlignBefore cannot issue refunds directly because we never receive your payment.
Free trials and promotional pricing. If any free trial or promotional period is offered, the trial period and renewal price are disclosed in the App Store paywall before purchase. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription will begin and your Apple ID will be charged.
Your data and content
You retain all rights to the photos, watermarks, and content you create in AlignBefore. Because v1.0 stores everything locally on your device, you control it directly. See our Privacy Policy for the limited information we do receive (App Store transaction data, support correspondence, anonymous website analytics).
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the app, except where applicable law permits.
- Use AlignBefore to capture, store, or share images of people without their consent where such consent is required by local law.
- Submit fraudulent in-app purchases, manipulate receipts, or share entitlement codes outside their intended use (e.g., Apple Offer Codes are personal to the redeemer).
- Use the app to harass, defame, or harm others, or to violate any applicable law.
- Resell the app or rebrand it as your own service.
We may suspend the Founders’ Offer entitlement of any account that we reasonably believe has obtained it through fraud or chargeback.
Intellectual property
The AlignBefore app, its source code, branding, copy, and trade dress are owned by us. Trade-template artwork bundled with the app is licensed for use inside your exports — you may freely incorporate it into proposals, invoices, and marketing materials for your business. You may not redistribute the templates as standalone content.
If you upload a logo for the custom watermark feature, you grant us a non-exclusive license to render it inside your exports on your device. We do not store, view, or use your logo for any other purpose.
Disclaimers
The app is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any defect will be corrected.
Because the app is local-only in v1.0, you are responsible for keeping a backup of any photos you want to preserve (we recommend enabling iCloud Photos and exporting completed pairs into your iOS Photos library). Loss of your device or app data is not recoverable by us.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to the app or these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us through the App Store in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) $50 USD. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, business, or data.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted.
Termination
You may stop using AlignBefore at any time by uninstalling the app and cancelling any active subscription. We may suspend or terminate access for material violation of these terms.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law) survive termination.
Apple-specific terms
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and that Apple has no obligation to provide support for the app. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty that cannot be disclaimed, you may notify Apple, who will refund the purchase price; Apple has no other warranty obligation. In the event of a claim that the app infringes third-party intellectual property, Apple is not responsible for handling that claim.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Utah, except where applicable consumer protection law gives you the right to sue locally.
Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights you have under the law of your country of residence.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with a revised “Updated” date and, where appropriate, an in-app notice on the next release. Continued use after a change means you accept the new version.
