Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026

[PLACEHOLDER] — written for SpokeHub as built, with a placeholder legal entity, governing law, and dispute-resolution jurisdiction. Replace the bracketed sections and have this reviewed by a lawyer before it governs a real account. See Privacy Policy for the same caveat, and APP-STORE-SUBMISSION.md for the full pre-launch checklist.

What SpokeHub is

SpokeHub is a marketplace that connects homeowners requesting home-service work with independent contractors. SpokeHub is not a contractor, does not perform, supervise, or guarantee the quality of any work performed by a contractor found through the platform, and is not a party to the agreement a homeowner and contractor reach with each other.

Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account and are responsible for activity under your login. Contractors are responsible for the accuracy of their business, licensing, and insurance information — SpokeHub’s license/insurance-expiry tracking is a reminder tool, not independent verification, unless a specific deployment has connected a real licensing-registry or background-check provider (see Privacy Policy, “Who we share it with”).

The SpokeHub Guarantee

Where offered, the SpokeHub Guarantee process lets a homeowner file a claim if work was not completed, of poor quality, or a no-show occurred, for admin review. Honest limitation: unless this deployment has a funded reserve or an insurance-underwriting partnership in place, an approved claim is recorded as a simulated reimbursement for demonstration and operational purposes, not an automatic real payout — see the project’s README “What’s NOT production-ready” section for current status.

Payments

Contractor wallet top-ups and payouts are processed by Stripe under Stripe’s own terms. Lead pricing and subscription plan pricing are as displayed on the Pricing page at the time of purchase. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or stated otherwise at the time of the transaction.

Acceptable use

Don’t use SpokeHub to submit false contact information, impersonate another person or business, circumvent the platform to avoid fees after being matched through it, scrape or bulk-extract listings, or attempt to bypass rate limiting, authentication, or other security controls.

AI-generated content

Draft messages, quotes, category suggestions, and photo captions produced by SpokeHub’s AI Coworker features are suggestions a human sends, edits, or discards — SpokeHub does not represent them as professional advice, and a contractor remains responsible for anything actually sent or quoted under their account.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

SpokeHub is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, SpokeHub disclaims warranties of any kind and is not liable for the acts, omissions, workmanship, or representations of any contractor or homeowner using the platform, or for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from its use.

Termination

You may stop using SpokeHub at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account for violating these terms, fraud, or abuse of the platform or other users.

Governing law

[PLACEHOLDER: governing law / jurisdiction for a real deployment].

Changes to these terms

If these terms change materially, the “Last updated” date above will change and, where required, we’ll notify account holders directly.
