Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2, 2026
TL;DR (the human version)

Use Canopy to run your landscape business better. Don't use it to do anything illegal or to harm other people. Your data is yours. Our software is ours. Don't try to reverse-engineer it, resell it, or claim you built it. If something breaks, we'll fix it — but we're not liable for decisions you make based on the numbers. Pay your bill if there is one. Be cool. We'll be cool back.

The Agreement

By using Canopy, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the software. We'd be sad, but we'd understand.

(Translation: this is the handshake. If you're here, you're shaking.)
What You Get

Access to the Canopy platform — estimating, proposals, financial coaching, reports, catalog management, and whatever else we build along the way. We're actively developing this thing, which means features will appear, change, and occasionally break. We fix what we break. Quickly.

(Translation: you're riding with us while we build the plane. The engine works — we're still adding cup holders.)
Your Responsibilities
Our Responsibilities
Your Data

Your data belongs to you. Your budgets, estimates, client lists, proposals, overhead rates — all yours. We store it, process it, and display it back to you. We don't own it, sell it, or use it for anything beyond running Canopy for your benefit.

You can export your data at any time. If you leave Canopy, you take your data with you. We don't hold it hostage.

(Translation: think of us as a really good filing cabinet. Your stuff is in it, but it's your stuff.)
Our Software

Canopy is our intellectual property. The code, the design, the coaching engine, the Mow Money calculator, the whole thing — that's ours. Your license is to use it, not to own it, copy it, or build a competitor with it.

(Translation: don't screenshot our UI and send it to your buddy who "knows a developer.")
Competitive Confidentiality

You may not share, disclose, or demonstrate Canopy's features, methodology, interface, or proprietary tools with any competing landscape management software company, their employees, agents, or contractors. This includes but is not limited to: Aspire, Boss LM, Jobber, LMN, SingleOps, Service Autopilot, or any other company that develops or sells software to the green industry.

Sharing screenshots, recordings, feature descriptions, or access credentials with competitors — directly or through intermediaries — is a violation of these terms and will result in immediate account termination without refund.

We're a small company building something different. We're sharing our best thinking with you because we trust you. Don't make us regret that.

(Translation: we built this with blood, sweat, and too much coffee. If Aspire wants to know how our coaching engine works, they can figure it out themselves. Don't do their homework for them.)
Payment

During the beta period, Canopy is free. When we start charging (we'll give you plenty of notice), you agree to pay the applicable subscription fee. If you don't pay, we'll remind you nicely, then less nicely, then we'll restrict access. No one wants that.

(Translation: same terms you'd give a client. Pay your invoice, and everyone's happy.)
Disclaimers

Canopy provides financial coaching, calculations, and reports based on the data you provide and the methodology programmed into the system. We are not your accountant, attorney, or financial advisor. The software helps you understand your numbers — what you do with that understanding is your decision.

We make no guarantee that using Canopy will make you profitable. We can guarantee it'll give you better information than a napkin and a gut feeling.

(Translation: we give you the map. You still have to drive the truck.)
Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Canopy's total liability to you for any claims related to the service is limited to the amount you've paid us in the 12 months before the claim. During the free beta, that's $0 — so, you know, manage expectations accordingly.

We're not liable for lost profits, lost data (beyond what our backups can recover), or business decisions made based on Canopy's output.

(Translation: if you bid a $2M job based on a number Canopy showed you and it goes sideways, that's a conversation — but not a lawsuit. We're a tool, not a guarantee.)
Termination

You can close your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms, don't pay your bill, or use the platform to do something we're not cool with. If we terminate you, we'll explain why and give you time to export your data (unless you did something truly egregious).

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as Canopy evolves. When we do, we'll email you and update the date at the top. We won't fundamentally change the deal without giving you a heads-up. If you keep using Canopy after a change, you're agreeing to the new terms.

The Fine Print

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Cook County, Illinois. We both agree to try to work things out like adults before involving lawyers — because lawyers are expensive and we'd both rather spend that money on mulch.
