The short version
This summary is here so you can actually understand what you are agreeing to. It is not the agreement. If the two ever disagree, the sections below win.
- skookr gives you estimates, not facts. It is not a home inspection, an appraisal, or professional advice. Confirm anything that matters with a qualified person.
- Your record is yours. Export all of it, one click, any time, including when you leave.
- Seven days free, then a subscription that renews automatically monthly or yearly, whichever you pick, until you cancel. Cancel online in a couple of taps. On a yearly plan we email you before it renews.
- Disputes go to court, in Utah. There is no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver in these terms. We ask you to email us first and give it 60 days, because most things end there.
- Our liability is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months, with the usual exceptions for serious misconduct.
SECTION 1Who you are agreeing with
These terms are an agreement between you and etheus LLC, a Utah limited liability company, doing business as skookr ("skookr", "we", "us"). "You" means the person who creates an account or uses the service.
Our notice address is 2594 E 700 S, Springville, Utah 84663.
These terms cover the skookr website, apps, area reports, and anything else we operate that links to them (together, the "service"). Our privacy policy is part of this agreement.
SECTION 2Accepting these terms
You accept these terms by checking the box at signup, or by using the service. If you do not agree, do not use skookr.
We keep a record of the version you accepted and when. You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract. If you are agreeing for a company or trust, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.
Why this matters
An agreement nobody clearly agreed to is hard to rely on, for either side. We ask plainly and we keep the receipt.
SECTION 3What skookr is
skookr builds a record of your home from your address, your answers, and any inspection report or seller disclosure you choose to add. From that record it produces an estimate of your home's condition, a projection of upkeep costs over time, and a maintenance plan you run yourself.
It is an information and planning tool. You stay in charge of your home and every decision about it.
SECTION 4What skookr is not
Please read this part
- Not a home inspection. We never enter or examine your home.
- Not an appraisal and not a valuation you can rely on for a sale, a loan, insurance, or tax purposes.
- Not a verification or certification. skookr does not verify or certify your home, your record, or its condition. Your record reflects what you logged.
- Not professional advice. Not engineering, contracting, legal, insurance, real estate, or financial advice.
- Not a warranty or a service contract on your home or any system in it.
- Not an emergency service. If something is dangerous, call a professional or your utility, not us.
For anything that matters, have a qualified professional look at it. skookr exists to tell you what to look at and when, not to replace the person who looks.
SECTION 5Estimates, projections, and dates
Important
Every cost, value, condition rating, remaining-life figure, and saving that skookr shows you is an ESTIMATE, produced from incomplete information about a property we have never visited. Estimates will sometimes be wrong, sometimes materially.
DO NOT RELY ON ANY FIGURE HERE AS A QUOTE, AN APPRAISAL, OR A GUARANTEE.
Where skookr surfaces a dated deadline, such as a warranty that may transfer to you, we show where the date came from and we tell you to confirm it with the provider. You must confirm it. We are not responsible for a deadline that passes, whether or not skookr showed it to you, and whether or not the date we showed was accurate.
Some information about your area will be missing. When we do not have something, we say so rather than guessing. An empty answer is not an error, and the absence of a warning is not an assurance that nothing is wrong.
SECTION 6Your account
- Keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
- Give us accurate information, and keep it current. Estimates built on wrong inputs will be wrong.
- Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
- One account per person. Do not share logins.
SECTION 7Your record and your content
You own your content. Your home record, your answers, your logged history, and any document you upload remain yours.
You give us a licence to host, copy, process, and display that content solely to operate the service for you, to keep backups, and to improve the service. The licence is non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, and lasts only as long as we hold the content. It ends when you delete the content or close your account, except for backups aging out on the schedule in our privacy policy.
You confirm you have the right to give us every document you upload, and that it does not contain another person's personal or financial information or any of the categories our privacy policy says we refuse to collect.
Our systems are built to strip those categories before anything is read or stored, and they fail closed. That filtering is automated and is not a guarantee. It reduces the chance of prohibited information reaching us; it does not shift responsibility for sending it. If prohibited information reaches us because you uploaded it, that is your responsibility, not ours, and we are not liable for it having been included. Tell us and we will delete it promptly.
Export. You can export your full record in one action, at any time, from any account state, including after a trial ends and including on your way out.
Aggregated data. We may use information about places, materials, and systems in de-identified and aggregated form to improve skookr for everyone. This never identifies you or your home.
SECTION 8Sharing your record
You can create a read-only share of your home record, for example for a prospective buyer. You control it and you can revoke it at any time.
Anyone who opens a shared record is bound by these terms as to that record, including sections 4, 5, 14, and 15. A shared record is the history you logged plus a score calculated from it. It is not a verification, an inspection, or a certification of the home, and it must not be presented to anyone as one.
What you choose to share, and with whom, is your decision and your responsibility.
SECTION 9Subscription and automatic renewal
Automatic renewal notice
Your first SEVEN (7) DAYS ARE FREE. If you do not cancel before the free period ends, your paid subscription begins and RENEWS AUTOMATICALLY at the price for your plan, EVERY MONTH OR EVERY YEAR DEPENDING ON THE PLAN YOU CHOOSE, charged to the payment method you provide, UNTIL YOU CANCEL.
If you choose a yearly plan, WE WILL EMAIL YOU AT LEAST 30 DAYS BEFORE EACH RENEWAL, telling you the date, the amount, and how to cancel.
YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME, ONLINE, IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS. Cancelling before the next billing date stops the next charge.
Current prices, billed monthly or yearly:
Each home after the third is $5/mo more, or $50/yr more, up to 20 homes. The yearly price is ten months at the monthly rate, so two months are included at no additional cost.
- More than 20 homes? Contact us and we will put a plan together.
- Prices exclude any applicable taxes, which we add where required.
- We send an acknowledgment when your paid subscription starts, restating the amount, the renewal period, and how to cancel.
- On a yearly plan we email you again at least 30 days before it renews, with the same three things.
- If we change the price, we give you at least 30 days notice before it applies to you, and you can cancel before it takes effect.
- If a payment fails we may retry and may suspend paid features until it clears.
- If you add a home, we charge the difference for the rest of your current billing period right away, and your plan renews at the new price from then on.
- If you remove a home, we credit the difference to your account and take it off your next invoice. It is a credit, not a cash refund.
After the free period, if you do not subscribe, your account moves to a limited state. Your record stays visible and your one-click export keeps working. Subscribing reopens everything immediately.
SECTION 10Cancelling and refunds
Cancel any time in your account settings. It takes a couple of taps. No cancellation fee, no phone call, no retention interview.
Cancelling stops future charges. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. We do not generally refund partial months, except where the law requires it or where we got something wrong, in which case contact us and we will sort it out.
You can delete your account and your record at any time. Export first if you want to keep it.
SECTION 11Acceptable use
What skookr is for
skookr is for managing the upkeep of homes you own or occupy. The material you give us should be limited to what serves that purpose: your address, details about your home and its systems, and documents that describe the property itself, such as an inspection report or a seller disclosure.
Photographs. You can send us photos of your home, its systems, and their labels and model plates. Send us the equipment, not the paperwork lying next to it. We read photos to find equipment details; we cannot know what is in an image before we look at it, so what is in frame is your choice and your responsibility.
What not to send
Use skookr for your own homes. Do not:
- Scrape, crawl, resell, or automate bulk access to the service or its data.
- Use it to build or train a competing product or dataset.
- Upload documents containing another person's personal or financial information, or any category our privacy policy says we refuse to collect.
- Upload anything unlawful, infringing, or malicious.
- Probe, overload, or work around the security of the service.
- Misrepresent a shared record as an inspection, appraisal, verification, or certification.
- Use the service for anything unlawful, including any use that discriminates against a protected class.
If you send us something outside this section
We build skookr to take what is useful about your home and discard the rest, and we do that whether or not anyone is watching. It is automated, and no automated system is perfect.
What you upload is your choice. If material outside this section reaches us because you sent it, that is your responsibility, not ours, and we are not liable for it having been included or for what it contained. Tell us at privacy@skookr.com and we will delete it.
SECTION 12Suspension and termination
We may suspend or close an account that breaches section 11, that we reasonably believe creates legal risk, or where we are required to. Except where that is impractical or unlawful, we will tell you why, and where the breach can be fixed we will give you a chance to fix it first.
You can close your account at any time. However we part, your export stays available for at least 30 days.
We may discontinue the service or any part of it. If we discontinue it entirely, we will give you at least 60 days notice, refund any prepaid period you have not used, and keep export working throughout.
SECTION 13Your indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless skookr, its officers, employees, and agents from any third-party claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:
- your breach of these terms or of any law;
- content you upload that you did not have the right to give us, that contains another person's information, or that contains a category our privacy policy says we refuse to collect;
- a record you shared with someone else, or how they relied on it;
- work performed on your home, by you or anyone you engage.
We will tell you promptly about any such claim and will not settle it in a way that admits fault on your behalf without your consent.
SECTION 14Disclaimer of warranties
Please read this
The service is provided "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any estimate, projection, date, or recommendation it produces will be ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR HOME.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this may not apply to you. Where an implied warranty cannot be excluded, it is limited to 90 days from first delivery.
SECTION 15Limitation of liability
Please read this
To the fullest extent permitted by law, skookr is NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, or for lost profits, lost savings, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, even if we were told such damages were possible.
Our TOTAL LIABILITY to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
These limits DO NOT APPLY to our gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or fraud, to death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or to anything else that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you.
These limits apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some states do not allow some of these limits, so parts of this may not apply to you.
Said plainly
skookr costs about the same as a couple of coffees a month, and it tells you what to look at. It cannot be on the hook for what a house does. Decisions about your home stay yours, and so does the responsibility for them.
SECTION 16Resolving disputes
What this section does, and what it does not do
It asks you to come to us first. It does NOT force you into arbitration, it does NOT waive your right to a jury, and it does NOT stop you joining a class action. Those clauses are common in agreements like this one. They are deliberately not in ours.
Talk to us first
Before starting anything formal, email legal@skookr.com describing the problem and what you want. We will do the same if we have a dispute with you. Give it 60 days. Most things end here, and this step is the reason we can do without the rest.
Then, court
If 60 days does not resolve it, either of us can go to court. Section 17 says which courts and which law applies. There is no arbitration requirement in these terms, and nothing here limits the kind of claim you can bring or how you bring it.
Small claims
Small claims court is usually faster and cheaper for smaller disputes, and either of us can use it if the claim qualifies. Either of us can also ask a court for an injunction to stop misuse of intellectual property without waiting out the 60 days.
Why there is no arbitration clause here
Most consumer subscriptions require arbitration and waive class actions. It is a real advantage to the company, and we decided against it. Requiring arbitration would mean telling you that the way you enforce your rights is the way we picked for you, on a product whose whole argument is that you should not be managed. The 60-day conversation above is what we would rather rely on.
SECTION 17Governing law and venue
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
The state and federal courts located in Utah County, Utah have jurisdiction over any dispute, and both of us consent to that venue. If you qualify to bring a claim in small claims court where you live, you can do that instead.
Nothing here takes away a consumer-protection right you have under the law of the place you live that cannot be waived by agreement. If your state's consumer law gives you something this agreement does not, your state's law wins.
SECTION 18Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For any change that materially affects your rights, we will give you at least 30 days notice by email and in the product before it takes effect. We will not quietly change a date at the top of the page.
If you keep using skookr after the change takes effect, you accept the new version. If you do not want it, cancel before then and we will refund any prepaid period you have not used.
A change to section 16 or 17 does not apply to a dispute either of us already knew about when the change took effect.
SECTION 19General terms
Assignment
You may not transfer this agreement without our consent. We may assign it to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you. Your record and your rights under this agreement travel with it.
Severability
If any provision is found unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and everything else stays in force.
No waiver
If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
Entire agreement
These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about the service, and they replace anything said earlier. You are not relying on any statement outside them, including anything on our marketing pages. Where the short version at the top and these sections disagree, these sections govern.
Electronic communications
You agree we can give you notices, disclosures, and records electronically, by email or in the product, and that these satisfy any requirement that they be in writing. You can withdraw that consent by closing your account. Keep a working email address on file.
Force majeure
Neither of us is liable for a delay or failure caused by something genuinely outside our reasonable control, such as a natural disaster, war, labour dispute, utility or network failure, or government action. This does not excuse paying money already owed.
No third-party beneficiaries
Except for the people we indemnify in section 13 and anyone who opens a record you shared, this agreement creates no rights for anyone other than you and us.
Independent parties
Nothing here creates a partnership, employment, agency, or joint venture between us.
Survival
Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, and 20 survive the end of this agreement.
