Terms of Use

These draft Terms of Use describe the proposed ground rules for accessing Impoundly. They are written for a platform that helps property managers and operators document, coordinate, and review operational work in a jurisdiction-aware context.

1. Impoundly’s platform role

Impoundly supplies software for records, workflows, coordination, visibility, and related operational communication. Depending on the surface, Impoundly may help organize property, operator, service, vehicle, evidence, payment, or activity information that users provide or create through the platform.

Impoundly is not legal advice, a law firm, legal service, regulator, insurer, towing authority, property manager, or substitute for a party that must independently make and carry out an operational decision. Impoundly does not determine whether a proposed action is lawful or suitable for a particular property, vehicle, person, market, state, or local jurisdiction.

2. Marketplace accounts, authority, and credentials

You are responsible for the information you submit, the marketplace account you use, and the actions taken through that account. Property users, operators, administrators, and other participants remain responsible for the duties associated with their own role and must have authority to act for the person, company, property, or operator they represent.

Keep credentials and access pathways controlled, do not share access except through an authorized account process, and promptly address suspected unauthorized use. An account role, profile, verification status, or invitation does not give you authority that you do not otherwise possess. The final age requirement and any additional eligibility conditions remain subject to owner and attorney confirmation.

3. Property listings and requests

When you create or update a property listing or service request, provide information that is accurate, current, and sufficiently complete for the workflow. You must be authorized to submit property, vehicle, location, contact, incident, jurisdiction, notice, or other information that you provide, and you must identify relevant jurisdiction and operational context as accurately as you can.

A property listing, request, recommendation, workflow output, status, or related Impoundly record is not a legal, safety, compliance, or outcome guarantee. Users must independently confirm the facts, permissions, notices, deadlines, and requirements that apply before relying on a listing or taking action.

4. Operator participation and verification

Operators are responsible for keeping their profile, service area, availability, contact details, capabilities, pricing information, and other service information accurate and current. Operators must obtain and maintain the permissions, licenses, qualifications, training, insurance, safety processes, and other requirements that apply to their work and jurisdictions.

Participation decisions belong to the relevant user and operator. A Impoundly verification, review status, profile, listing, or marketplace presence is not an endorsement, government approval, insurance promise, guarantee of qualifications, or determination of legal or regulatory compliance. Users must perform the independent review appropriate to the work before selecting or relying on an operator.

5. Bids and marketplace communications

Users and operators are responsible for the details they provide in bids and marketplace communications, including availability, price, scope, timing, location, assumptions, exclusions, fees, and other proposed terms. Impoundly may help match participants and coordinate communications, but it does not guarantee a match, response, availability, price, scope, performance, or result.

Before acting, the parties must review the bid and related communications, confirm the applicable facts and terms, and resolve any questions directly. A bid, match, invitation, selected status, or other marketplace communication is not an automatic award or contract unless the parties separately authorize and establish one.

6. Contracts and accepted work

The parties to proposed or accepted work remain responsible for reviewing, authorizing, signing, performing, and retaining their agreements and for complying with the terms they choose. They must confirm that the scope, price, timing, permissions, notices, safety requirements, payment terms, and other conditions are appropriate before work begins.

Impoundly records, generated documents, workflow tools, or acceptance statuses do not by themselves establish enforceability, replace a signed agreement, or make Impoundly a contracting party. Impoundly is not responsible for resolving the parties’ contract, payment, service, property, vehicle, or performance disputes unless a separate written arrangement expressly says otherwise and is confirmed by the owner and counsel.

7. Impound records and operational records

Impound and related operational records may contain information, evidence, statuses, notices, fees, communications, activity history, and other details supplied by users or generated during a workflow. Users must verify the facts, preserve required records and evidence, follow the process applicable to the property and jurisdiction, and obtain independent review when the record may affect a person, vehicle, property, deadline, fee, notice, or legal right.

A Impoundly record is not an official government record, legal determination, or proof that a notice, fee, impound, release, service, or other action complied with applicable requirements. Impoundly does not guarantee that an operational record is complete, current, accurate, admissible, or sufficient for any particular purpose.

8. User responsibilities and legal review

You remain responsible for checking facts, obtaining permissions and notices, maintaining contracts, preserving evidence, selecting qualified service providers, following current local requirements, and deciding whether and how to act. You must conduct independent legal, regulatory, tax, insurance, safety, and operational review appropriate to your circumstances.

A record, workflow status, verification label, match, checklist, recommendation, or other Impoundly output is an operational aid. It is not a legal conclusion, approval by a government authority, proof of compliance, or guarantee that a person, operator, property, vehicle, or action is suitable or lawful.

9. Acceptable use

You may not use Impoundly to impersonate another person, misrepresent authority or verification, submit deceptive or unlawful material, interfere with the service, probe or bypass security controls, access another person’s records without permission, or use the platform to harass, discriminate against, threaten, or harm others.

You may not upload malicious code, attempt unauthorized scraping or automated access, reverse engineer protected parts of the service except where applicable law does not permit that restriction, or use Impoundly to make a legal or compliance claim that the platform has not made.

10. User content and platform ownership

You retain responsibility for and, to the extent applicable, ownership of the text, records, images, documents, decisions, and other material you submit or create through Impoundly (“User Content”). You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to provide that material and allow Impoundly to process it for the platform’s operation.

Subject to business-owner confirmation that this reflects actual operations, you would grant Impoundly a limited, non-exclusive license to host, reproduce, organize, display, transmit, and otherwise process User Content only as reasonably needed to provide, secure, support, improve, and administer the service. Impoundly does not acquire ownership of User Content through this operational license.

Impoundly and its licensors retain all rights in the software, workflows, interfaces, brand, designs, documentation, and other platform materials, except for rights expressly granted to you. You may not copy, sell, sublicense, or create a competing service from protected Impoundly materials without permission.

11. Third parties and service availability

Impoundly may depend on users, operators, payment providers, communication services, hosting providers, mapping or other third-party services, network connections, and information supplied by external parties. Impoundly does not control those parties and cannot promise their accuracy, conduct, availability, security, response time, pricing, suitability, or continued participation.

The service may be changed, interrupted, delayed, limited, or unavailable, including for maintenance, security, provider failure, events outside reasonable control, or product decisions. You are responsible for maintaining appropriate offline or independent records and contingency processes when an interruption could affect people, property, vehicles, deadlines, money, or legal rights.

12. Disclaimers, limitations, and risk allocation

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Impoundly would provide the service and platform materials without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. This includes no promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, secure, current, accurate, fit for a particular purpose, or suitable for your legal or operational needs.

Impoundly does not guarantee legal compliance, prevent lawsuits or claims, ensure a particular operator or service outcome, or produce any particular result. You assume the risks of relying on records, communications, matches, decisions, and third-party actions made through or alongside the platform.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Impoundly and its owners, personnel, licensors, and service providers would not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses, or for lost data, revenue, profits, business, opportunities, goodwill, or claims by another person arising from or related to the service. Any monetary cap, exclusions, and exceptions must be set by the owner and counsel rather than invented in this draft.

You are responsible for your use of the service and for claims, losses, or costs arising from your User Content, instructions, decisions, unlawful use, breach of these terms, or failure to obtain required permissions and review. Any indemnity or defense obligation must be confirmed and narrowly drafted by counsel before publication.

13. Suspension and termination

Impoundly may limit, suspend, or end access when reasonably necessary to protect the service, users, third parties, records, or legal and security interests, including for suspected misuse, unauthorized access, nonpayment, or a breach of these terms. The final notice, cure, data-access, and post-termination rules remain subject to review.

When access ends, you remain responsible for obligations that by their nature should continue, including responsibility for your content and decisions, platform ownership, risk allocation, dispute terms, and any payment or record obligations that are confirmed for the applicable service.

14. Changes, governing law, and attorney review

Impoundly may need to update these terms as the product, law, or business changes. The final process for notice, acceptance, effective dates, governing law, venue, dispute resolution, and mandatory consumer rights is not established by this draft and must be confirmed before publication.

Before final publication, confirm the legal entity and owner name, contact address or email, effective and revision dates, governing law and venue, age and minor policy, analytics and cookie behavior, retention and deletion practices, rights-request channel, subprocessors, and whether the copyright owner and year should differ from the Impoundly brand.

This draft is pending owner and qualified-attorney review. It is not legal advice and is not final publication; do not rely on it as a final contract or legal determination.
