Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 9, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Pool Boss platform. The full legal text is below.

1. Acceptance of Terms

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ("TERMS") CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE POOL BOSS PLATFORM. BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, CLICKING "I AGREE," ACCESSING, OR USING THE SERVICE IN ANY WAY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY, INCLUDING ALL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMERS, AND THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION 16.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICE AFTER ANY MODIFICATION TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFIED TERMS.

These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Pool Boss LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("Pool Boss," "we," "us," or "our"). If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind that entity, and "you" shall refer to that entity.

2. The Service

2.1 Description

Pool Boss provides a software-as-a-service platform for swimming pool service businesses, including tools for business management, customer management, route optimization, scheduling, invoicing, payment processing, and reporting (the "Service"). The Service is made available solely for your internal business use.

2.2 Modifications to the Service

Pool Boss reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to modify, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Service or any feature or portion thereof, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice. Pool Boss shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

2.3 Free Plan

Pool Boss offers a free subscription plan that does not expire and does not require a payment method to activate. The free plan is subject to usage limits (currently a maximum number of active pools and a single administrator account) as published on the Pool Boss pricing page. Pool Boss reserves the right to determine free plan eligibility and to modify the free plan's usage limits at any time in its sole discretion. Use of the Service beyond the free plan's usage limits requires a paid subscription as described in Section 4.

2.4 Beta Features

Pool Boss may make beta, preview, or early-access features available from time to time. Such features are provided "as is" without any warranty or support obligations and may be discontinued at any time. Use of beta features is at your sole risk.

3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 Eligibility

The Service is available only to businesses and business operators located in the United States. You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. Pool Boss reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

3.2 Account Responsibility

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify Pool Boss of any unauthorized use of your account. Pool Boss shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or liability arising from your failure to maintain account security or from unauthorized access to your account resulting from your acts or omissions.

3.3 Accurate Information

You represent and warrant that all information you provide during registration and throughout your use of the Service is accurate, current, and complete. Pool Boss reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account based on inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete information, without liability to you.

3.4 One Account Per Business

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing by Pool Boss, each business entity may maintain only one active account. Pool Boss reserves the right to merge, consolidate, or terminate duplicate accounts at its sole discretion.

4. Fees, Payment, and Billing

4.1 Subscription Fees

Use of the Service beyond the free plan's usage limits described in Section 2.3 requires payment of applicable subscription fees. All fees are set by Pool Boss in its sole discretion and are subject to change. Pool Boss will provide at least 30 days' notice of fee increases to active subscribers; your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

4.2 Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) unless you cancel prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, you authorize Pool Boss to charge your payment method on a recurring basis without further authorization. It is your responsibility to cancel prior to renewal if you do not wish to be charged.

4.3 Payment Obligations

All fees are due in advance and are non-refundable except as expressly stated in Section 4.6. You are responsible for all fees incurred under your account, including by any users you authorize. If payment fails, Pool Boss reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately and without notice. You remain liable for all unpaid amounts.

4.4 Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information, you authorize Pool Boss and Stripe to charge your designated payment method. Pool Boss is not responsible for errors, failures, or actions by Stripe or any other payment processor. Your use of payment processing features is subject to Stripe's terms of service.

4.5 Customer Payment Features

If you use the Service to collect payments from your own customers, you are solely the merchant of record for those transactions. Pool Boss provides payment facilitation tools only and assumes no liability for your customer billing practices, disputes, chargebacks, refunds, or compliance with applicable consumer protection, tax, or payment laws. You indemnify and hold Pool Boss harmless from any claims arising out of your customer payment activities.

4.6 Refund Policy

ALL FEES PAID TO POOL BOSS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Pool Boss does not provide refunds for partial subscription periods, unused features, or early cancellations, except as required by applicable law. Pool Boss may issue credits at its sole discretion, which have no cash value and expire upon account termination.

4.7 Taxes

All fees are exclusive of taxes. You are solely responsible for all sales, use, excise, value-added, and other taxes, levies, or duties imposed by any taxing authority in connection with your use of the Service, excluding taxes on Pool Boss's net income. Pool Boss reserves the right to collect applicable taxes on its fees where required by law.

4.8 Disputed Charges

If you believe a charge is incorrect, you must notify Pool Boss in writing at boss@poolboss.app within 30 days of the charge. Failure to dispute a charge within 30 days constitutes your acceptance of that charge. Pool Boss's determination of disputed charges is final.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL POOL BOSS LLC, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF POOL BOSS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Subject to Section 16, any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in Sheridan County, Wyoming. You irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts and waive any objection to inconvenient forum.

16. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

16.1 Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally (see Section 16.3) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND POOL BOSS EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
