1. Description of Service

TerritoryOS is a local service directory platform that connects consumers seeking home and business services (“Users”) with local service professionals (“Service Providers” or “Tenants”). We provide:

  • Directory listings for local service professionals organized by niche and city
  • AI-powered chat to help Users get information and submit inquiries
  • Contact form routing to connect Users with Service Providers
  • Territory subscription management for Service Providers

TerritoryOS is a directory and lead-routing platform only. We are not a party to any transaction between Users and Service Providers, and we do not perform, guarantee, or warrant any services offered by Service Providers.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use our services. By using our platform, you represent that you meet this requirement. Service Providers must be legally authorized to perform the services they offer in their jurisdiction.

3. User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through any form or chat
  • Use automated tools to submit inquiries or scrape our platform
  • Impersonate any person or entity
  • Attempt to circumvent rate limits or security measures
  • Use our AI chat to generate harmful, illegal, or abusive content
  • Harass, threaten, or abuse Service Providers or other Users
  • Violate any applicable local, state, or federal law

4. Service Provider Terms

4.1 Territory Exclusivity

Each territory (a specific niche + city combination) is available to one Service Provider at a time. Holding a territory grants you exclusive listing placement for that niche in that city on our platform for the duration of your active subscription.

4.2 Subscription and Payment

Territory subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis as specified at the time of purchase. Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on the billing schedule selected. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated or required by law.

Service Providers agree to:

  • Maintain all required licenses, certifications, and insurance for their trade
  • Respond to inquiries routed through TerritoryOS in a timely and professional manner
  • Provide accurate information about their services, pricing, and availability
  • Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in their service area
  • Not misrepresent their qualifications, experience, or service offerings

4.4 Territory Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate a territory subscription without refund if a Service Provider violates these Terms, receives verified complaints of misconduct, fails to maintain required licenses, or engages in fraudulent activity. Subscriptions may also be canceled for non-payment after a grace period.

5. AI-Powered Chat

Our platform includes an AI chat assistant powered by Anthropic's Claude. You acknowledge that:

  • AI responses are generated automatically and may contain errors or inaccuracies
  • AI responses do not constitute professional advice (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise)
  • Chat conversations may be reviewed to improve service quality
  • Rate limits apply to prevent abuse — excessive use may result in temporary restriction

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the platform shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation.
