These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Homefront ("Homefront," "we," "us"). They govern your use of homefront.legal and every feature of the Homefront service (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, checking the acceptance box at signup, or using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Section 21 contains an arbitration agreement and class-action waiver that affect your legal rights — please read it. You have the right to opt out within 30 days.
Homefront is self-help software that helps you organize your own family-law matter: tracking dates and finances, keeping records, and preparing document drafts from information you provide. Homefront is not a law firm, is not a lawyer referral service, does not provide legal advice or legal representation, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Homefront is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. No attorney reviews your case or your documents through the Service, and nothing the Service produces is a legal opinion. We cannot tell you what the law means for your situation, predict what a judge will do, guarantee any outcome, or appear for you. Communications with Homefront — including anything you type into the Service and anything it generates — are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
Documents you prepare with Homefront are your documents. You are the author and the filer. Review everything before you sign or file it, and consider consulting a licensed attorney in your state — especially before signing anything under oath.
Homefront is not an emergency service and is not monitored in real time. If you or your children are in danger, call or text 911 now. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call/text 988) and the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) are free and available 24/7. To report suspected child abuse, contact your local child protective services or law enforcement — not Homefront.
You must be at least 18 years old and using Homefront for your own matter in the United States. You may not use the Service on behalf of clients or to provide services to others. One account per person; give us accurate information — the documents you generate are built from what you enter. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials private and for all activity under your account. If you believe someone else has accessed your account, change your password immediately and contact us. If you share a device with someone who may monitor you, see the safety notes in our Privacy Policy.
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own matter, subject to these Terms. You may not: copy, resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to others; access it with bots, scrapers, or other automated means; probe, overload, disrupt, or test the security of the Service; reverse-engineer or copy any part of it; use it to build or train a competing product; or remove or obscure any notices. All software, design, text, and other materials that make up the Service (excluding your content) belong to Homefront or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property law.
The Service transforms your information. You are solely responsible for:
Laws, court rules, and forms change. State-specific content in the Service may not reflect the most recent changes in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to confirm current requirements with your court.
Some features use artificial intelligence to summarize documents, suggest drafts, extract dates, and organize information. AI output can be incomplete, outdated, or flatly wrong — including in ways that look convincing. It may misread a document, mis-total figures, or describe law inaccurately. AI features are provided only as a starting point for your own review and judgment. When you use an AI feature, the relevant content is processed automatically by our AI infrastructure provider under contractual confidentiality (see the Privacy Policy); it is not used to train AI models, and no output is legal advice from anyone.
Financial tools — including any child-support estimates — produce scenarios and approximations from the numbers you enter, for planning and conversation. They do not produce the official guideline calculation of any state, are not legal determinations, and are not guarantees of what any court will order. Only a court or your state's child-support agency can set or change a support obligation — never pay less than an existing order requires based on an estimate from the Service.
The All-In plan includes asynchronous support from a "Homefront Expert." Experts are not lawyers and do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, strategy, or predictions about your case. What they do is organizational: assembling and ordering records, formatting, checklists, and helping you use the Service. Experts are trained and required to stay inside that line, and Expert conversations occur within the Service, where we may review them for quality and compliance. If anything an Expert says could be understood as legal advice or a prediction about your case, it is unauthorized, you should not rely on it, and we ask that you report it to us. Expert availability varies by state, and we may decline or discontinue Expert support in any jurisdiction.
This is true of every person you interact with at Homefront — Experts, support staff, and anyone replying on our behalf, in any channel: none of them is your attorney, no conversation with our team creates an attorney-client relationship, nothing anyone at Homefront shares with you is legal advice, and no privilege attaches to any of it. If you need legal advice, only a licensed attorney in your state can give it to you.
You can upload documents and photos as part of your own case records — court filings, financial records, correspondence, photos of property or injuries, and similar evidence relevant to your matter. These rules are absolute:
We do not pre-screen uploads and have no obligation to review, verify, or preserve any particular content — storage is provided as-is, and you should keep your own copies of anything important. We do reserve the right to review, remove, refuse, preserve, and report content as described in Section 10.
Misuse of the Service is dealt with directly:
Nothing in this section creates a duty owed to you or anyone else to monitor content, detect abuse, or intervene — it describes rights we reserve and legal obligations we follow.
In addition to Sections 9 and 10, you agree not to use the Service to: break the law; harass, stalk, defame, or harm anyone; violate a court order; impersonate anyone or misrepresent generated documents as attorney work product; file documents you know contain false statements; infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights; send spam or unsolicited commercial messages; or interfere with the Service or other users. We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms (see Section 17).
Your case information belongs to you. Homefront provides computer storage and processing services to the public: we hold and process your content for you, at your direction. We claim no ownership of anything you enter or upload, or of the documents you generate for your matter. You grant us only the limited, non-exclusive license needed to host, store, process, transmit, back up, and display your content — solely as necessary to provide, secure, and maintain the Service for you and to support you at your request — plus the rights described in Section 10 (abuse protocol) and Section 13 (legal process). We do not use your content for advertising and do not use it to train AI models. This license ends when your content is deleted, except for content we are legally required or permitted to preserve. You can download your documents and drafts from the app, and you can request a full export of your records — or deletion of your account and data — at any time via homefront.legal/contact; we honor export and deletion requests within 30 days.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation.
We hold your records as a custodian on your behalf, and we make the other side use the front door. Our policy on demands for your data:
What this policy is — and is not. It is lawful process-channeling: we object through legal channels, we require the process the law actually prescribes, and we route civil content requests to the account holder as federal law directs. It is not a way to hide evidence, and there are demands we must honor: valid criminal process (such as a search warrant) issued by or through a court with jurisdiction over us, lawful preservation demands, the mandatory child-safety reporting in Section 10, genuine emergencies, and a final order of a court with jurisdiction after objections are exhausted. When we receive legal process, we preserve the affected records while it is resolved — we never delete data in response to legal process, and you should not either.
Understand your own exposure: because Homefront is not your attorney, attorney-client privilege does not attach to your notes, journals, drafts, and records in the Service — the opposing party can seek them from you in discovery like any other records you keep, and a court can order you to produce or consent to the release of your own account contents (if you validly consent, we can and will comply). Write and store accordingly. And deleting content that is relevant to pending or reasonably anticipated litigation can constitute spoliation of evidence, with serious consequences in your case. What you keep and what you delete are your decisions and your responsibility.
Homefront is a paid subscription (Starter, Pro, and All-In tiers, monthly or annual), billed through Stripe. The Starter trial requires a card and converts automatically to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period (currently 7 days — the exact length and price are shown at checkout before you pay) unless you cancel first. Prices are shown at checkout; taxes may be added where required. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing and end any active trial. We may change prices with notice before your next renewal.
Cancellation: cancel anytime, online, without contacting support — Profile → Membership opens the Stripe customer portal. If you are ever locked out of your account, you can also cancel via homefront.legal/contact. Cancellation stops future renewals; your plan stays active through the end of the period already paid. Refunds: monthly fees are not refunded in part; if you cancel an annual plan within 14 days of first purchase, contact us for a refund of the unused portion. Nothing here limits refund or billing-dispute rights that the law guarantees you, including under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Fraudulent or abusive chargebacks (not good-faith billing disputes) may result in account suspension while we resolve them.
If you participate in a Homefront referral, partner, or influencer program, the program terms presented when you join apply in addition to these Terms. Referral participants must clearly disclose their material connection to Homefront (compensation) wherever they promote it, and may not make claims about Homefront that these Terms themselves do not make — including any promise of legal outcomes.
If you believe content stored on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice via homefront.legal/contact including: identification of the work and the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized, a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature. We respond to complete notices, including by removing material and, for repeat infringers, terminating accounts.
You may stop using Homefront at any time and request account deletion (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or terminate your access — with notice where practicable — if you materially violate these Terms, if required by law, or if your use creates risk to the Service or others. Sections 9–10 violations may result in immediate termination without notice. Upon termination: your license ends; you should have already saved anything you need (we may, but are not obligated to, provide a reasonable export window for accounts not terminated under Sections 9–10); and we delete or de-identify your content in the ordinary course, except records we must or may preserve under Section 10, Section 13, or applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination do — including 5, 7, 12–13, and 18–22.
We are a small, evolving product: we may add, change, or remove features, and the Service may be unavailable at times. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we are not liable for missed deadlines or other consequences of downtime — never let Homefront be your only record of a court date. If we ever discontinue the Service entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to give you notice and time to export your records.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED — INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING. WITHOUT LIMITING THAT: WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OUTPUTS ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR SUITABLE FOR FILING; THAT STATE-SPECIFIC CONTENT REFLECTS CURRENT LAW; OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICE WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT IN YOUR MATTER. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION FROM US CREATES A WARRANTY. Some states do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS: (a) NEITHER HOMEFRONT NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR SUPPLIERS IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR — FOR CLARITY — THE OUTCOME OF ANY LEGAL MATTER, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, UNDER ANY THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY; AND (b) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. These limits do not apply to liability arising from our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud; where the law forbids them — including liability that cannot be limited by contract; or to limit the statutory rights of consumers in states that protect them.
Indemnification: you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Homefront and its officers, employees, and contractors from third-party claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: your violation of these Terms or of the law; content you upload in violation of Section 9 or of someone else's rights; or your misuse of the Service. This obligation does not apply to claims arising from our own breach of these Terms, negligence, or misconduct, and using the Service as intended — preparing and filing your own documents — is not by itself "misuse." We may assume the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate.
Talk to us first. Before filing any claim, you agree to send a written description of the dispute via homefront.legal/contact and give us 60 days to try to resolve it informally. All limitation periods (including the one-year period below) are tolled during this informal-resolution period.
Binding individual arbitration. Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. Arbitration will be conducted remotely or in your county of residence; AAA's consumer fee schedule applies, and we will pay the filing and arbitrator fees those rules require us to pay. The arbitrator resolves all disputes about the scope, application, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that a court — not the arbitrator — decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver below and of this allocation itself.
Class-action waiver. YOU AND HOMEFRONT EACH AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY — NOT IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. By agreeing to arbitrate, both parties also give up the right to a jury trial for arbitrated disputes. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) proceeds in court. Nothing in this section waives any right to seek public injunctive relief where that right cannot be waived by law; any such claim proceeds in court after arbitration of all arbitrable claims.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court — for you, in the county where you live. And either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorized access to the Service.
Coordinated filings. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by coordinated counsel, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and fee schedules then in effect will apply. All applicable limitation periods are tolled for any claimant from the date their demand is submitted until the AAA begins administering it.
Your right to opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement — with no effect on your service — by sending notice through homefront.legal/contact with the topic "Arbitration opt-out," including your account email, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. We will confirm receipt in writing within 14 days. A valid opt-out survives all future versions of these Terms. If we materially change this Section 21, the change will not apply to claims that have already accrued, and you will have a fresh 30-day window to opt out of the change.
Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to conflicts rules, except that the FAA governs arbitration. This choice of law does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections of the state where you live. For disputes that belong in court (including if you opt out), you and Homefront consent to the state or federal courts located in Georgia or the courts of the state where you live. One-year limitation: to the extent your state's law allows claims periods to be shortened by agreement, any claim must be brought within one year after it accrues (as tolled above); where your state's law does not allow this, your state's limitation period applies.
Changes: we may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date, and — for significant changes — notice in the app or by email before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance (except changes to Section 21, which follow its own fresh-notice and opt-out rules); if you don't agree, stop using the Service and cancel.
Electronic communications: by creating an account you consent to receive agreements, notices, disclosures, and receipts electronically — by email to your account address or in the app — and electronic delivery satisfies any requirement that a communication be in writing. Keep your account email current. The Service sends service messages (and, only if you enable them, push notifications — which you can turn off in your browser or device settings at any time); any marketing email includes an unsubscribe link.
Boilerplate that matters: these Terms plus the Privacy Policy and any program terms you join are the entire agreement between us and supersede prior agreements. There are no third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stands. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to you. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Notices to you may be given by email to your account address or in the app; notices to us go through homefront.legal/contact.
