Terms of Service

Version 2026-07-22

1. What Certovi is — and is not

Certovi is self-help software for construction statutory notices. It computes deadlines from publicly available statutes and project facts you supply, prepares documents from templates (including templates based on statutory forms), dispatches documents by certified mail at your direction, and keeps delivery and integrity records.

Certovi is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by using the service. Communications with Certovi are not privileged.

2. No attorney review

No attorney has reviewed, approved, or endorsed Certovi's deadline rules, templates, statutory summaries, or any document the service prepares. Rules and templates are prepared by checking publicly available statute text, and they may be incomplete, out of date, inapplicable to your situation, or wrong. Statutes change, courts interpret them in ways software cannot anticipate, and local rules vary.

3. You review and approve everything that is sent

Before any document is dispatched, you are required to review it and affirmatively approve sending it. By approving a dispatch you represent that: (a) you have reviewed the complete document; (b) the facts in it (amounts, dates, names, addresses, descriptions) are accurate; (c) you have determined — on your own or with your own advisor — that the document, its recipients, its delivery method, and its timing are appropriate and legally sufficient for your purpose; and (d) you accept sole responsibility for the consequences of sending it. Your approval and the version of these Terms you accepted are recorded in the service's ledger with the dispatch.

4. Deadlines are informational

Computed deadlines, reminders, and status labels (including words like "timely" or "missed") are informational estimates derived from general statutory rules. They are not legal determinations. Actual deadlines depend on facts and law specific to your matter. You are responsible for verifying every deadline independently. If a right is valuable, consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.

5. Delivery

Dispatch uses commercial mail infrastructure (including USPS Certified Mail®). Certovi is not responsible for postal service errors, delays, or failures, and does not guarantee that any particular delivery method satisfies the service requirements of a given statute in your circumstances.

6. Prohibited uses

The service may not be used for harassment or any notice you know to be false or misleading. You represent that facts and amounts you state in notices are accurate and lawfully owed.

7. Records

Certovi maintains a tamper-evident record of computations, documents, dispatches, and deliveries. These records document what the software did; they are not a legal opinion about the validity or effect of any notice.

8. Disclaimer of warranties; limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Certovi's total liability for any claim arising out of the service is limited to the amounts you paid for the service in the twelve months preceding the claim; Certovi is not liable for lost profits, lost legal rights, missed deadlines, or consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages.

9. Changes

These Terms may be updated; the version in effect when you approve a dispatch is the version recorded with it. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.

Questions: reply to any Certovi email. If you need legal advice about a construction notice, deadline, or dispute, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
