Terms of service

Your account

You need a working email address to sign in. You’re responsible for everyone you invite to your company’s account and for keeping access to your email secure, since that’s how you sign in. You must be at least 18 and able to agree to these terms for your business.

Trial, subscription and cancelling

• New accounts get a 14-day free trial. A card is required to start it. If you don’t cancel before it ends, your subscription starts and your card is charged $149 a month (plus any tax that applies) until you cancel.
• You can cancel any time from Billing → Manage subscription. You keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for. We don’t refund partial months.
• If a payment fails and isn’t fixed, or after you cancel, your account becomes read-only: you can sign in, look everything up and download your PDFs, but nothing is sent.
• We may change the price with at least 30 days’ notice by email. The new price applies from your next billing period after the notice.

Payments from your clients

Online payments from your clients go through your own Stripe account, under Stripe’s terms between you and Stripe. Stripe charges its processing fees to you; PaperForeman adds no fee to those payments. You’re responsible for the invoices you send, for refunds and disputes with your clients, and for your own taxes.

Your data

Everything you put into PaperForeman (jobs, clients, documents, signatures, subs’ files) belongs to you. You give us permission to store, process and send it only to run PaperForeman for you. We don’t sell it and don’t use it to advertise. You’re responsible for having the right to send emails to the clients and subs you add, and for what you send them. See the privacy policy for the details.

E-signatures and your terms

PaperForeman records electronic signatures with the signer’s consent and a signature certificate, as described in the e-signature disclosure. The default change order terms are a starting point, not legal advice. You decide what your documents say, and you should have your own attorney review them. Whether a particular document is enforceable depends on its content and on the law where you work.

AI Assist

AI Assist reads the notes and emails you give it and prepares drafts. Drafts can be wrong. Nothing is sent or saved as final until a person on your team reviews it, and you’re responsible for checking every draft before you use it.

Acceptable use

• Don’t use PaperForeman to send spam, to mislead people, or to collect money you aren’t owed.
• Don’t try to get into other companies’ data, overload the service, or get around its limits.
• Don’t upload anything you don’t have the right to share.

We may suspend accounts that break these rules. Where we can, we’ll tell you first and give you a chance to fix it.

The service

We work to keep PaperForeman running and your data safe. But the software is provided “as is”: we can’t promise it will never be down or never have a bug. We may improve or change features; if we remove something important you rely on, we’ll tell you ahead of time.

Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses (like lost profits or a lost job), and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it. Nothing here limits liability that can’t be limited by law.

Changes and contact

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll email account owners at least 30 days before the change takes effect. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas. Questions go through our contact page.
