YardPath

Terms of Use

Effective date: July 27, 2026

These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation, including the Spanish version of this page, is provided for convenience only; if there is any discrepancy, the English version controls.

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you ("you," “your,” or the “Operator”) and Core Web Crafting LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company ("Core Web Crafting," “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the YardPath mobile application, any related software, updates, exports, documentation, websites, and support (collectively, the “Service”).

By downloading, installing, subscribing to, or using YardPath, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The short version

This summary is provided for convenience only and is not part of the agreement. Where it differs from the numbered sections below, the numbered sections control.

1. Eligibility and acceptance

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service. If you use YardPath on behalf of a business entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” means both you individually and that entity.

The Service is designed and offered for business use by owner-operated service businesses. You acknowledge that you are acquiring the Service for business purposes and not primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, any country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

2. What YardPath is, and what it is not

2.1 What it is

YardPath is a software tool that assists an owner-operated business in recording and organizing its own operational data, including customers, scheduled and completed jobs, services performed, prices quoted and charged, invoices and estimates, payments received, credits, and vehicle mileage between jobs. It performs arithmetic, formatting, scheduling, routing, and reporting functions on the information you enter and on device sensor data (such as location) that you authorize.

2.2 What it is not

YardPath is not, and does not provide, any of the following:

No professional relationship of any kind is created between you and Core Web Crafting by your use of the Service. Any output of the Service, including a mileage log, an invoice, an estimate, a profitability figure, an income or expense summary, or a report, is an unverified work product generated from the data you supplied, and is not professional advice or an opinion on which you may rely.

2.3 Tax matters are entirely your responsibility

You alone are responsible for determining what your business must track, how each item must be categorized, whether any amount is includable in income, whether any expense or mileage is deductible, and whether your records satisfy applicable substantiation requirements. This includes, without limitation, requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (including the substantiation rules applicable to vehicle and travel expenses), Treasury regulations, IRS guidance and publications, and any state or local revenue authority.

You specifically acknowledge and agree that:

3. Your responsibilities as the Operator

You are solely responsible for:

  1. The accuracy and completeness of everything you enter, and for reviewing every calculation, total, invoice, estimate, report, and mileage record before you rely on it or send it to a third party.
  2. Reviewing and verifying every document before it leaves your device. You are the sender and author of every invoice, estimate, message, and export. Send nothing you have not read.
  3. Maintaining your own backups. See Section 6.
  4. Your customer relationships and communications, including all obligations described in Section 7.
  5. Your compliance with law, including tax, licensing, contractor and trade licensing, employment and wage-and-hour, worker classification, vehicle and insurance, consumer protection, privacy, and telemarketing laws applicable to your business.
  6. Your own devices, Apple ID, iCloud account, passcode, and physical device security.
  7. Safe operation of your vehicle. Never interact with YardPath while driving. Do not follow any route, direction, or suggestion that would be unsafe, unlawful, or inconsistent with actual road conditions, signage, or traffic control. Routing and travel-time estimates are approximations generated from third-party map data and are not verified for accuracy, legality, or safety.
  8. Any helper, employee, contractor, or family member you permit to use the Service or whose location, work, or personal information is recorded in it, including obtaining any consent or notice required by law before tracking their location or recording their information.

4. License grant and restrictions

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use YardPath on Apple-branded products that you own or control, solely for your internal business purposes, and as permitted by the Usage Rules in the App Store Terms of Service. This license does not allow you to use YardPath on any Apple-branded product you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make YardPath available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at once, except as expressly permitted by Apple’s Usage Rules (including Family Sharing).

You may not, and may not permit anyone else to:

We reserve all rights not expressly granted. This is a license, not a sale; you acquire no ownership interest in the Service.

5. Subscriptions, trial, billing, and refunds

Billing is handled by Apple through the App Store, not by us. Your purchase, renewal, and cancellation are governed by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the payment method on file with your Apple ID.

6. Your data, storage, and backups

You own your business records. As between you and us, you retain all right, title, and interest in the customer, job, invoice, payment, expense, mileage, and settings data you create in the Service.

We do not store your business records. YardPath stores data locally on your device and, if you enable it, syncs through your own iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit. That data is controlled by your Apple ID and governed by Apple’s terms and privacy policy. See our Privacy Policy.

Because we hold no copy, we cannot retrieve, restore, reconstruct, or recover your data for you under any circumstances. You expressly acknowledge and assume the risk of data loss, and you agree that:

7. Customer communications (SMS, email, and documents)

When you send an invoice, estimate, reminder, “on my way” notice, or any other message through YardPath, the message is composed and sent from your own device, your own phone number, and your own accounts. You are the sender. We do not transmit, route, or store those messages.

You are solely responsible for compliance with all laws governing those communications, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the CAN-SPAM Act, state telemarketing, automated-messaging, and consumer protection statutes, wireless carrier rules and messaging policies, and all applicable consent, opt-out, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements. You are responsible for obtaining and documenting any consent required before contacting any customer, and for honoring opt-out requests.

You are likewise solely responsible for the content of every invoice, estimate, and document you generate or send, including its prices, terms, tax treatment, warranties, and legal sufficiency, and for your handling of your customers’ personal information under any applicable privacy law.

Message delivery depends on carriers, Apple’s Messages and Mail services, and recipient devices, none of which we control. We do not warrant that any message will be delivered, delivered on time, delivered without alteration, or received.

8. Location and mileage tracking

Location tracking is off unless you turn it on, and it operates only as described in the Privacy Policy. Location and mileage data stay on your device and in your private iCloud.

Location data is inherently imprecise. GPS signal quality, device settings, battery-optimization behavior, permission changes, backgrounding, operating-system behavior, and interruptions can cause trips to be missed, truncated, duplicated, misdated, or recorded with incorrect distances.

How distance is measured, and why it will not match your odometer. YardPath does not read your vehicle’s odometer and has no connection to your vehicle. Depending on the trip and the conditions at the time, a distance may be derived from periodic location readings taken by your device as you travel, or from third-party map and routing data, or from a direct point-to-point measurement between two locations. You acknowledge and agree that:

You must review every trip and correct or add records as needed, including adjusting or overriding any recorded distance so that it reflects your actual business miles. A mileage log is only as good as your review of it, and Sections 2.3 and 12 apply in full to every mileage figure, rate, deduction estimate, and export.

9. Reporting issues, feedback, and support

We build YardPath as a good-faith best effort to make a genuinely useful tool, and we want to know when something is wrong. If you find an error, an inaccurate calculation, a missing capability, or anything that does not work the way you expect, please tell us through the contact page or in-app support (Settings → Contact Support). Reports like these are how the app gets better.

That said, and without limiting the rest of these Terms:

10. Intellectual property

The Service, including all software, designs, interfaces, text, graphics, logos, icons, documentation, and the “YardPath” and “Core Web Crafting” names and marks, is owned by Core Web Crafting or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any such right to you.

11. Third-party services

The Service depends on and interoperates with services and software we do not control, including Apple’s operating systems, App Store, iCloud, CloudKit, Maps, Messages, Mail, and Contacts, as well as wireless carriers, mapping and geocoding data providers, and network connectivity. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, performance, security, pricing, terms, or acts or omissions of any third party, and your use of any third-party service is governed by that party’s terms. Your compliance with all applicable third-party terms is your responsibility. Interruption, degradation, or discontinuation of any third-party service is not a breach of these Terms by us.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CORE WEB CRAFTING LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “CORE WEB CRAFTING PARTIES”) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE CORE WEB CRAFTING PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (a) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (b) ANY CALCULATION, TOTAL, INVOICE, ESTIMATE, REPORT, ROUTE, TRAVEL-TIME ESTIMATE, TAX FIGURE, MILEAGE DISTANCE, OR EXPORT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE; (c) ANY RECORD WILL SATISFY THE IRS OR ANY OTHER TAXING, REGULATORY, LICENSING, LENDING, INSURANCE, OR JUDICIAL AUTHORITY; (d) DATA WILL BE PRESERVED, SYNCED, BACKED UP, RECOVERABLE, OR FREE FROM LOSS OR CORRUPTION; (e) ANY MESSAGE, INVOICE, OR ESTIMATE WILL BE DELIVERED OR RECEIVED; OR (f) ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM THE CORE WEB CRAFTING PARTIES OR THROUGH THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND FOR ALL DECISIONS YOU MAKE IN RELIANCE ON IT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you; in that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and shortest duration permitted by law.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE CORE WEB CRAFTING PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY:

IN EACH CASE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE), AND EVEN IF THE CORE WEB CRAFTING PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE.

THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE CORE WEB CRAFTING PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE FIRST SUCH CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THIS CAP APPLIES IN THE AGGREGATE TO ALL CLAIMS AND ALL CLAIMANTS AND IS NOT CUMULATIVE PER CLAIM OR PER INCIDENT.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION AND IN SECTION 12 ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN, THAT THEY REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK GIVEN THE PRICE OF THE SERVICE, AND THAT THEY APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Core Web Crafting Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation) arising out of or relating to:

  1. your use of or reliance on the Service;
  2. any invoice, estimate, message, notification, export, report, or record you create, send, publish, or rely on;
  3. your tax filings, deductions, classifications, or recordkeeping;
  4. any communication you send to any person, including any claim under the TCPA, CAN-SPAM, or any state telemarketing, messaging, or consumer protection law;
  5. your customers, employees, contractors, helpers, or other third parties, including any claim relating to their personal information, location, wages, or classification;
  6. your breach of these Terms or of any representation you make in them;
  7. your violation of any applicable law or of any third party’s rights, including intellectual property and privacy rights; or
  8. your operation of a vehicle or performance of any work.

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate fully. You will not settle any matter in a way that imposes any obligation or admission on any Core Web Crafting Party without our prior written consent.

15. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time; cancel any subscription through your Apple account settings.

We may suspend or terminate your license and access to the Service, in whole or in part, immediately and without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, used the Service unlawfully or fraudulently, or created risk or legal exposure for us or others. We may also discontinue the Service generally at any time.

Upon termination, your license ends immediately and you must cease using the Service. Because we hold no copy of your data, you are responsible for exporting it before termination. Sections 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 (feedback license), 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19 survive termination.

16. Dispute resolution, arbitration, and class action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

16.1 Informal resolution first

Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you agree to first contact us through the contact page with a written description of the dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information, and to negotiate in good faith for sixty (60) days. This is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration, and the limitations period is tolled during it.

16.2 Binding arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including its formation, interpretation, breach, termination, enforceability, or validity, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or, if you qualify as a consumer under those rules, its Consumer Arbitration Rules) then in effect.

16.3 Class action and jury trial waiver

YOU AND CORE WEB CRAFTING EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

YOU AND CORE WEB CRAFTING EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

If Section 16.3 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and litigated in the courts identified in Section 17, and the remaining claims will proceed in arbitration. If Section 16.3 is found unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of Section 16.2 is null and void as to that dispute, and the dispute will be resolved exclusively in the courts identified in Section 17.

16.4 Exceptions

Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court in Cabarrus County, North Carolina if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in the courts identified in Section 17 to prevent or stop actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property or confidentiality rights, without first satisfying Section 16.1 and without waiving any other provision.

16.5 Right to opt out of arbitration

You may opt out of Sections 16.2 and 16.3 by notifying us in writing through the contact page within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms, including Section 17, and will not affect your use of the Service.

17. Governing law and exclusive venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

For any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 16, you and Core Web Crafting irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the North Carolina General Court of Justice sitting in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, and of the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, and each party waives any objection to those forums based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens.

18. Time limit on claims

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM ACCRUES, OR IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

19. Apple-specific terms

You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. These Terms are between you and Core Web Crafting LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. Core Web Crafting, not Apple, is solely responsible for YardPath and its content.
  2. Your license to use YardPath is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the App Store Terms of Service.
  3. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support for YardPath.
  4. In the event of any failure of YardPath to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to YardPath, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Core Web Crafting’s sole responsibility.
  5. Core Web Crafting, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or any third party relating to YardPath or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that YardPath fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
  6. In the event of a third-party claim that YardPath or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Core Web Crafting, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
  7. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using YardPath.
  8. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
  9. Core Web Crafting is responsible for addressing any questions or claims relating to YardPath; contact information is in Section 21.
