Terms of Use
Effective date: 2026-08-19Last updated: 2026-08-23
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Anchorwright (“we,” “us”) governing your use of the Hallboy iOS application (“the app”). By downloading or using the app, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. Safety — read this section
Hallboy is a reminder and reference tool. It is not professional advice, and it does not know your home.
The app includes general how-to steps, tool lists, and safety notes for common household maintenance tasks. This material was drafted with the assistance of AI and has not been reviewed by a licensed electrician, plumber, roofer, or HVAC technician. It is written to a general homeowner level, and it cannot account for your specific equipment, its age or condition, your local building and safety codes, or the manufacturer instructions that came with your own appliances.
We would rather tell you that plainly than let you assume a tradesperson wrote it.
Some household maintenance is genuinely dangerous. Working at height, working on water heaters and their relief valves, and anything involving gas, sealed refrigerant, or hardwired electrical power can cause serious injury, death, or property damage.
You agree that:
- You are solely responsible for deciding whether to attempt any task, and for how you carry it out.
- Where the app’s own guidance and a manufacturer’s instructions differ, the manufacturer’s instructions govern.
- Where a task calls for a licensed trade under your local law, or exceeds what you can safely do, you will hire a qualified professional. The app names these thresholds where it can, but its list is not exhaustive and the judgment is yours.
- Reminder intervals in the app are general defaults, not an inspection schedule, a code requirement, or a substitute for a professional inspection.
Nothing in the app is a warranty that a task has been performed correctly or that your home, equipment, or systems are safe.
2. Reminders are not guaranteed
Hallboy schedules reminders locally on your device using iOS. Whether and when a reminder is delivered is controlled by iOS and by your own device settings, notification permissions, storage, battery state, and whether the device is on. Do not rely on Hallboy as the only reminder for anything where a missed task carries safety, legal, insurance, or warranty consequences — for example smoke- or carbon-monoxide-alarm testing, or a manufacturer’s warranty service interval.
3. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, rent, resell, or redistribute the app or any part of it, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.
4. Your content
What you enter into the app — your home details, the systems you track, and your schedule — is yours. We claim no ownership of it and, as described in the Privacy Policy, we never receive it. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything you would not want to lose.
5. Hallboy Plus
The app’s core features are free. Hallboy Plus is an optional, one-time purchase that unlocks up to three homes in total, and, once export ships, export. It is not a subscription.
- Your first home is free, permanently, whether or not you ever buy Hallboy Plus. Nothing you have already entered is taken away. This was already true and remains true: Hallboy Plus is a single purchase, not a subscription, so there is nothing that can lapse.
- Hallboy Plus is a single purchase, not a recurring term or a trial. The current price is shown on the purchase screen before you buy, and may differ by region.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
- Hallboy Plus does not renew, and it does not expire. It is yours permanently once purchased.
- Restore Purchases, in Settings, recovers your entitlement on a new device or after reinstalling the app. It does not create a new charge.
- Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. We have no access to your purchase record and cannot issue a refund. Apple’s request form is linked in the app’s Settings.
- If the price of Hallboy Plus changes, it applies to purchases made after the change — it does not change what you already paid, or take away anything your existing purchase unlocked.
6. Availability and changes
We may update, change, or discontinue the app or any feature of it. Features described as planned may change or may never ship, and nothing outside the app’s current released version is a promise. The app depends on Apple services (iCloud, StoreKit, notifications); we do not control those and do not guarantee their availability.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The app is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any reminder will be delivered. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Anchorwright will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, property damage, personal injury, or lost savings, arising out of or relating to your use of the app — including any maintenance task you perform, defer, or omit.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
9. Apple
This agreement is between you and Anchorwright only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for it. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim relating to the app, including product-liability claims, any claim that it fails to conform to a legal requirement, or claims under consumer protection or similar legislation. In the event of any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights, Anchorwright is solely responsible.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and on your acceptance Apple has the right to enforce them against you.
10. Termination
This licence is effective until terminated. It ends automatically if you breach these Terms. You may end it at any time by deleting the app.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the law of your country of residence requires otherwise.
12. Changes to these Terms
If these Terms change, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new “last updated” date. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
