Terms of Service

Effective October 30, 2026

1. 1. If you booked a display

   Your rental is an agreement between you and the agency you booked with. The agency sets the price, schedule, cancellation fees and late and damage fees, and shows them to you as booking terms before you pay. Those booking terms, which you agree to when you place your order, govern your rental.

   Trad Tech LLC provides the booking software only: we are not a party to your rental and don’t deliver, install or remove signs. Payments go to the agency through Stripe. Questions about your display, changes, refunds or fees go to the agency; its contact details are in your confirmation email. Sections 11, 12, 14 and 15 also apply to you.

2. 2. Agency accounts

   • You must be at least 18 and able to enter into contracts for your business.
   • Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
   • Keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for what happens in your account.

3. 3. Plans, trial and billing

   • YardCard Elite is a subscription: Essentials ($49/month or $499/year) or Elite ($79/month or $799/year). Current prices and features are on the pricing page. Taxes may be added where required.
   • Your first subscription may start with a free trial. A card is required to start it, and the first payment is taken when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
   • Subscriptions renew automatically each month or year until cancelled. You can change plans, update your card or cancel at any time in Manage billing; a cancelled plan runs to the end of the period already paid. Payments are not refunded for partial periods, except where the law requires it.
   • If a renewal payment fails, your booking page stays open for 7 days while the payment is retried. After that it closes to new bookings until the payment goes through. Your dashboard and existing orders keep working.
   • We will give at least 30 days’ notice by email before a price increase affects you.

4. 4. Customer payments (Stripe)

   Payment processing services for agencies on YardCard Elite are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these terms or continuing to operate as an agency on YardCard Elite, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of YardCard Elite enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide YardCard Elite accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize YardCard Elite to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

   Customer payments go to your Stripe account. Stripe charges its own processing fees. If we set up Stripe for you (“Set it up for me”), YardCard Elite also keeps $3 from each booking; that fee is not returned when you refund or cancel a booking. (If a customer is charged but the booking fails to save on our side, the whole payment, including the $3, is refunded automatically.) Agencies that connect their own Stripe account pay no per-booking fee to us.

5. 5. Your responsibilities as an agency

   • You run your rental business: delivering, installing and collecting signs, and the condition of your inventory.
   • You honor the prices and booking terms your customers agreed to, and charge cancellation, late or damage fees only as those terms allow.
   • You follow the laws that apply to you, including taxes, consumer protection and any local or HOA rules about yard signs.
   • You use customer information only to provide and manage their bookings, and as the law allows.
   • You have the rights to anything you upload, such as logos and sign images.

6. 6. Your data

   Your business information and your customers’ booking information belong to you. You let us store, process and display it to provide YardCard Elite to you and your customers, as described in our Privacy Policy. We act on your behalf for your customers’ information. Ask us at helpdesk@tradtechie.com for a copy of your data.

7. 7. Acceptable use

   Don’t use YardCard Elite for anything unlawful or fraudulent; don’t try to reach another agency’s data, break or overload the service, get around plan limits or security, or copy or resell the software.

8. 8. Ending or suspending an account

   You can cancel at any time (section 3). We may suspend or close an account that doesn’t pay or that breaks these terms, with notice where we reasonably can. Sections 6, 9 and 11 to 15 continue after an account ends.

9. 9. Our software

   YardCard Elite, its software and its brand belong to Trad Tech LLC and its licensors. Your subscription gives you the right to use it for your business while the subscription is active. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

10. 10. Changes to the service

    We improve YardCard Elite over time and may add, change or remove features. If we remove something your plan depends on in a significant way, we will tell you in advance.

11. 11. Disclaimer

    YardCard Elite is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties beyond those in these terms, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and we don’t promise the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

12. 12. Limitation of liability

    To the extent the law allows, Trad Tech LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data. Our total liability for any claim about YardCard Elite is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if you paid us nothing (for example, if you booked a display). We are not responsible for an agency’s rental services.

13. 13. Indemnity

    Agencies will cover Trad Tech LLC’s reasonable costs from claims brought by their customers or others about the agency’s rental business or a breach of these terms.

14. 14. Disputes and governing law

    Please contact us first at helpdesk@tradtechie.com; most problems can be solved that way. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Iowa.

15. 15. General

    • We may transfer these terms to an affiliate of Trad Tech LLC or to a company that takes over YardCard Elite; we will tell you if that happens. You may not transfer them without our consent.
    • We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we will tell agencies by email or in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use YardCard Elite after that means you accept the new terms.
    • If part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
    • These terms, the Privacy Policy and any booking terms you agreed to are the whole agreement about YardCard Elite.
