Terms of Service
Effective date: November 2, 2026
These terms cover therootedhost.com and the pricing and budget app on it ("the app"), both run by Michael Floth, doing business as The Rooted Host ("The Rooted Host," "we"). When you create an account or buy lifetime access, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.
What the app is
The app helps you estimate ticket prices, costs, budgets, and profit for gatherings you host. It does the math on the numbers you enter. It isn't financial, tax, accounting, or legal advice, and its results are only as accurate as your inputs. You're responsible for the decisions you make with it, including what you charge and what you commit to paying.
Your account
Use an email address you check, keep your password private, and tell us if you think someone else has gotten into your account. One purchase covers one person's account. Use it for your own business and gatherings, and share exports freely with your team, co-hosts, or venue. Please don't share your login or resell access.
Price and payment
Lifetime access is a one-time purchase with no subscription. The price is shown on our site and at checkout before you pay. Stripe processes payments through our platform provider, MadeThis, and sales tax may be added where required.
Lifetime access
Lifetime access means you can use the app, including the updates we make to it, for as long as we offer it, without paying again. If we ever stop offering the app, we'll email you at least 60 days ahead so you can export your plans.
Refunds
Purchases are final. Before you buy, you can explore the full sample retreat at therootedhost.com/demo, which is built with the same tools as the app. If the app doesn't work the way the sample shows, email hello@therootedhost.com within 14 days of your purchase and tell us what isn't working. We'll try to fix it, and if we can't, we'll refund your purchase in full. The refund goes back to your original payment method, and your bank may take 5 to 10 business days to show it. Your access to the app ends when the refund is processed. Nothing here limits any refund rights you have under the law where you live.
Your plans belong to you
You own everything you enter in the app. You give us permission to store and process it only so we can run the app for you.
Using the app fairly
Please don't:
- Try to get into other people's accounts or data
- Copy, resell, or rebuild the app, or scrape it with automated tools
- Interfere with the site's security or slow it down for others
- Use it for anything illegal
- Enter other people's personal information without their permission
Our content
The site, the app, its design, and The Rooted Host name and logo belong to us. Your purchase gives you a personal right to use the app under these terms, and that right can't be transferred. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.
Reminders and availability
Reminder emails are a convenience. Email can be delayed or filtered, so keep your own record of key dates and payment deadlines. We work to keep the app running, but it may sometimes be down for maintenance or for problems outside our control. We may change or improve features over time, and we'll keep the core planning tools you paid for.
Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time from your Account page. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and we'll tell you why unless the law prevents it. Deleting your account doesn't come with a refund, except as described under Refunds.
Disclaimer
We provide the app as is. We don't promise it will be error-free or that any gathering will make a profit. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all other warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, lost bookings, or deposits you can't get back. Our total liability for any claim about the app is limited to the amount you paid for it.
Governing law
California law governs these terms. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts in Shasta County, California, unless the law where you live gives you a different right.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We'll post the new version with a new effective date and email you about meaningful changes before they take effect. If you keep using the app after that, you accept the update.
