Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Shovld platform at getshovld.com ("Platform"), creating an account, or starting a free trial, you ("Contractor", "User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Shovld LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Shovld", "we", "us", "our").
Description of Service
Shovld is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that:
- Aggregates and analyzes publicly available data from government, property, and community sources
- Uses artificial intelligence to score and classify potential contractor lead signals
- Delivers scored lead information to subscribed contractors based on their selected trade and market
- Provides AI-assisted outreach drafting, pipeline management, and reporting tools
Important: Shovld is a lead intelligence platform, not a lead guarantee service. We do not guarantee that any lead will result in a job, contact, or revenue. Lead quality, volume, and conversion rates vary by market, trade, season, and contractor follow-up practices.
Eligibility
You must be:
- At least 18 years of age
- A licensed contractor, contractor business, or authorized representative of a contracting business
- Located in the United States
- Capable of entering into a legally binding contract
By using the Platform you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements.
Free Trial
- 4.1 Shovld offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. A valid payment method (credit or debit card) is required to start your trial.
- 4.2 Your payment method will not be charged during the 7-day trial period.
- 4.3 On day 8 of your trial, your subscription will automatically activate and your payment method will be charged the applicable subscription fee unless you cancel before day 8.
- 4.4 You may only use one free trial per person, per business, and per payment method. Shovld reserves the right to deny free trials to accounts we reasonably believe are circumventing this policy.
- 4.5 Shovld reserves the right to modify or discontinue the free trial offer at any time without notice.
Subscriptions and Billing
5.1 Subscription Plans
Shovld offers three subscription tiers — Starter, Pro, and Power — billed per trade specialty per market. Pricing is displayed at getshovld.com/pricing and during the onboarding process. Prices are subject to change with 30 days notice to active subscribers.
5.2 Billing Cycles
Subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual basis:
- Monthly subscriptions are billed every 30 days from the subscription start date
- Annual subscriptions are billed once per year from the subscription start date
- Annual subscriptions are priced at a discount compared to monthly billing
5.3 Automatic Renewal — IMPORTANT
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS. At the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annual), your subscription will automatically renew at the then-current rate and your payment method on file will be automatically charged without further action or notice from you. By subscribing you expressly authorize Shovld to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
5.4 Bundle Discounts
Multi-trade bundle discounts are applied at checkout and reflected in your subscription pricing. Bundle discounts are applied as long as all qualifying trades remain active. Canceling a trade may affect your bundle discount tier.
5.5 Price Changes
Shovld reserves the right to change subscription prices at any time. Active subscribers will receive at least 30 days written notice via email before any price increase takes effect. Continued use of the Platform after the price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
5.6 Failed Payments
If your payment fails:
- You will receive immediate notification via email and push notification
- Your account will remain fully active for a grace period of up to 7 days
- After 7 days of non-payment your account will be paused — you will retain read-only access to your data for 90 days
- After 90 days of non-payment your account and all associated data may be permanently deleted
- Shovld reserves the right to attempt to charge your payment method multiple times during the grace period
Cancellation Policy
- 6.1 You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account Settings → Billing, or by contacting support@getshovld.com.
- 6.2 No Mid-Period Refunds. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid billing period. If you cancel a monthly subscription, you will retain full access until the end of the current month you have paid for. If you cancel an annual subscription, you will retain full access until the end of the annual period you have paid for. You will not be charged again after cancellation takes effect.
- 6.3 Canceling your subscription does not delete your account or data. You may reactivate your subscription at any time.
- 6.4 Shovld reserves the right to cancel or suspend any account at any time for violation of these Terms, with or without notice.
- 6.5 Account Deletion Does Not Constitute Cancellation. Deleting your account through Settings → Account is a separate action from canceling your subscription through Settings → Billing. If you delete your account without first canceling your active subscription, your subscription will remain active and your payment method on file will continue to be charged on its regular billing cycle. You are solely responsible for canceling your subscription prior to deleting your account. Shovld will not issue refunds for charges that occur after account deletion where the subscription was not separately canceled.
Refund Policy
7.1 No Refunds. ALL SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. This includes but is not limited to:
- Partial month or partial year refunds
- Refunds for unused leads
- Refunds for dissatisfaction with lead quality or volume
- Refunds for technical issues that were resolved within a reasonable timeframe
- Refunds requested after the free trial period has ended
- Subscription fees charged after account deletion where the subscription was not separately canceled through Settings → Billing prior to account deletion
7.2 The only exception to this policy is where required by applicable law. If you believe you are entitled to a refund under applicable law, contact billing@getshovld.com.
7.3 Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or credit card company without first contacting Shovld at billing@getshovld.com, Shovld reserves the right to immediately suspend your account, dispute the chargeback, and pursue collection of the disputed amount plus any applicable fees.
