Terms of Service

Who provides Aestro

These terms are between you and Justin Marroquin, operating Aestro.

Using Aestro

Aestro is a workspace for freelancers and production teams to manage projects, contacts, gear, rentals, quote requests, invoices, agreements, deliveries, and related records. If you use Aestro for a business, you agree to these terms on that business's behalf and confirm you have authority to do so.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use Aestro.

You must provide accurate account information, keep your login credentials secure, and promptly tell us if you believe your account or workspace has been accessed without permission.

Your Content and Responsibilities

You are responsible for the workspace data, contact details, gear information, project notes, invoice details, quote records, files, exports, and other content you enter, import, publish, or share through Aestro.

You keep ownership of your content. You confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed to store and use that content in Aestro, including permission to add other people's contact details and to send them invoices, agreements, and deliveries. You grant Aestro permission to host, process, display, transmit, back up, and format that content only as needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the service.

If you send ideas or feedback about Aestro, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Aestro Pro Subscription

Aestro is free to use. Aestro Pro is an optional paid subscription that adds features such as sending, collecting payment on, and signing documents through Aestro. Pro applies to the whole workspace it is bought for.

Price and billing. The price, billing period, and any taxes are shown before you confirm the purchase. Pro is billed in advance for each billing period. There is no free trial unless one is offered to you at the time of purchase.

Automatic renewal. Pro renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the then-current price, until you cancel. If we change the price, we will tell you before the change applies to your next renewal, and you can cancel before it does.

Where you buy decides where you manage it.

• Bought in the iPhone app: payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase and is handled by Apple. The subscription renews unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that. Manage or cancel it in your iPhone's Settings under your name, then Subscriptions. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies.
• Bought on aestro.app: payment is processed by Stripe. Cancel any time on the web in Settings, then Pro, then Manage plan.

Cancelling. When you cancel, Pro stays on until the end of the period you already paid for, then ends. Except where the law or Apple's policies require otherwise, payments are not refunded and partial periods are not credited. Your workspace and records stay in your account after Pro ends; only the Pro features stop.

Free months and codes. Pro time from a gift, a redeem code, or an invite promotion has no cash value, can't be transferred or exchanged, and ends on the date shown unless you start a paid subscription. We may end a promotion at any time without affecting Pro time already given.

Client Payments

Where available, a workspace owner can let clients pay invoices online. Payments are processed by Stripe through a Stripe account the workspace owner connects, and the owner must accept Stripe's Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement. Stripe, not Aestro, holds and moves the money.

The sale is between the workspace owner and their client. Aestro is not a party to it, is not a bank or money transmitter, and is not responsible for the work being paid for, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, or taxes on it. Stripe's processing fees are deducted from payments as Stripe describes. Aestro does not add its own fee unless one is clearly shown to you before you turn payments on. Questions about a charge go to the workspace owner who sent the invoice.

Electronic Signatures

Aestro lets workspace users send documents to be signed electronically. Signing through Aestro means you agree to use electronic records and signatures for that document, and that your typed or drawn signature is meant to be as binding as a handwritten one. You can ask the sender for a paper copy or to sign another way before you sign, and you can download the signed PDF afterwards.

Each signed document carries a certificate with the signers' names, emails, signing times, IP addresses, and browsers. Aestro provides the signing tool only. It is not a party to the agreement, does not check what the document says or whether it is enforceable, and does not verify signers' identities beyond the email address the sender used. Some documents, such as wills or certain notices, can't be signed electronically in some places; the sender is responsible for choosing a suitable method.

Files and Deliveries

Workspace users can upload files and share them with clients through delivery links, with comments, approvals, and downloads. Anyone with a delivery link can open what it shares unless the sender adds a PIN, so share links carefully. Storage limits for your plan are shown in the product. Aestro is not a backup service: keep your own copies of original files, because files are removed when you delete them, their project, or your account.

Public Features

Workspace users may choose to publish public gear list pages, receive public quote requests, create contact-card links, or share exports and generated files. You are responsible for reviewing what you make public before sharing a link.

If you submit a quote request through a public gear list page, you authorize Aestro to send your request details to the workspace owner or authorized workspace users for follow-up about that project or rental request.

Generated Documents

Aestro can help generate invoices, rental summaries, gear list revisions, and rental agreement drafts. These outputs are productivity tools, not legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice. You are responsible for reviewing every document before using or sending it.

Financial Record Preparation

Aestro organizes user-entered transactions and supporting documents. It does not file returns, determine worker classification, calculate tax owed, establish deductions, or certify legal compliance. A savings target is a personal planning preference, not an estimated-tax installment. You must confirm dates, completeness, accounting method, jurisdiction and treatment against source records and obtain appropriate professional review before filing or making tax decisions.

Corrections retain original financial entries. Year-end snapshots preserve the records captured at creation and may contain unresolved items. Review the package and its document manifest; an export is not proof that your records are complete. Keep independent copies of source documents and filed returns for the periods required by applicable law.

Acceptable Use

Do not use Aestro to break the law, infringe others' rights, upload malicious code, attack or probe the service, spam users, scrape private data, bypass access controls, misrepresent yourself, or publish private information without permission.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Don't post, send, or share anything that is harassing, threatening, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable, including in profiles, gear lists, requests, messages, and shared projects. You can block anyone, and report content or a person, from the app or by writing to support@aestro.app. We review reports within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these terms, and may suspend or close the account of whoever posted it.

Copyright and Takedowns

Only upload photos, stills, logos, and other material you own or have permission to use. If you believe something on Aestro infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent that includes:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• the copyrighted work you believe was infringed;
• the material you want removed and where it is on Aestro, such as its page link;
• your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address;
• a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

We may remove or disable access to the material and tell the person who posted it. If you posted material that was removed and believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you can send our agent a counter-notice with your signature, the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address, and phone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, outside the United States, any judicial district where Aestro may be found) and to accept service from the person who sent the notice. Unless that person tells us they've filed a court action, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

We end the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Send copyright notices to support@aestro.app with "Copyright notice" in the subject line.

Third-Party Services

Aestro relies on outside providers for hosting, storage, email, bot checks, phone checks, and payments, and on Stripe and Apple for Pro payments. The current provider list is on the Subprocessors page. Links to or integrations with other services, such as calendar apps, are governed by those services' own terms, and Aestro is not responsible for them.

If You Got Aestro from the App Store

If you downloaded the Aestro iPhone app from Apple's App Store, these terms also serve as the license agreement for the app, and the following applies:

• These terms are between you and Aestro only, not Apple. Aestro, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
• You may use the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, of the app. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• Aestro, not Apple, is responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection or privacy claims, and claims that the app or your use of it infringes someone's intellectual property.
• You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you as they relate to the app.

Privacy and Customer Data

The Privacy Policy explains how Aestro handles personal information and the Data Rights page explains available choices. When Aestro processes personal information in a customer workspace on that customer's behalf, the Data Processing Addendum is incorporated into these terms.

Changes, Availability, and Beta Status

Aestro is actively developed and may change, add, remove, limit, pause, or discontinue features. Features labeled beta or preview may be incomplete and may change or end. We may suspend or terminate access if needed to protect the service, comply with law, address nonpayment of a paid plan, or respond to misuse. If we discontinue Aestro entirely, we will give reasonable notice so you can export your data.

Ending Your Account

You can stop using Aestro and delete your account at any time in account settings on the web or in the iPhone app. Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription; cancel that in your iPhone's Settings. Export anything you want to keep first, because deletion removes your account and owned workspaces from active systems as described on the Data Rights page.

If we suspend or close your account for a serious or repeated breach of these terms, we will tell you why where the law and safety allow. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as payment obligations, disclaimers, limits of liability, and indemnity, survive after these terms end.

Disclaimers and Limits

Aestro is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, and loss-free data storage.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Aestro and its owner will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, production delays, or business interruption.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the total liability of Aestro and its owner for all claims relating to Aestro is limited to the greater of the amount you paid Aestro in the 12 months before the claim arose and US $100.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability, warranties, remedies, withdrawal rights, or other protections that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory rights that apply to consumers in the EEA or United Kingdom.

Indemnity

If you use Aestro for business, you will defend and compensate Aestro and its owner for claims, losses, and reasonable costs brought by others that arise from your content, your dealings with your clients, crew, and signers, or your breach of these terms or the law. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by Aestro, and it does not apply to individual consumers where the law does not allow it.

Governing Terms and Changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to these terms or Aestro will be heard only in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, and both sides consent to those courts' jurisdiction. This does not take away the mandatory protections, or the right to bring a claim in your local courts, that an individual consumer has under the law where they live, including in the EEA and United Kingdom. Before going to court, contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally. Material changes will be dated here and communicated in the product or by email at least 14 days before they take effect, except changes required by law or for new features, which may take effect sooner. Continued use after a change takes effect means acceptance, unless law requires a separate choice; if you don't agree, stop using Aestro and delete your account.

General

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and, where it applies, the Data Processing Addendum, are the whole agreement between you and Aestro about the service. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them to a successor, such as a company formed to run Aestro, or in a sale or merger, with notice to you. Neither side is responsible for delays caused by events outside its reasonable control. You must follow US export and sanctions laws when using Aestro.
