Terms of use.

The agreement

These terms cover your use of PEARSPECTIVE, the desktop app, and this website. They are between you and Joshua Pearson, doing business as Josh Pears, who makes and sells PEARSPECTIVE. By installing or using the app, you agree to them. If you don't, please don't use it.

What you're buying

A license to use PEARSPECTIVE for your own photography business. One license works on up to two of your computers. It isn't for resale, and you can't share a key with other people or companies. The app itself stays mine; you own the data you put in it.

The free trial

You get 30 days to use the whole app without paying and without a card. After that, the app goes read-only: you can still open and read everything, but sending stops until you buy a license.

Prices and the two ways to pay

• One payment: $799, once. The license doesn't expire.
• Payment plan: $69 a month for 12 months, $828 in total. After the twelfth payment the plan ends on its own and the license is yours, with nothing more to pay. You can stop at any time, either on Stripe's billing page or by emailing me. Charges end, you owe nothing further, and the app goes read-only; your data stays where it is. The license is yours only once all 12 payments are made. If a payment fails, the app goes read-only until you catch up.

Prices are in US dollars. Taxes, if they apply where you live, are shown at checkout.

Updates

Every update to version 1 is free. A future version 2 may be a separate, optional purchase. If it is, anyone who owns version 1 gets 30% off the upgrade. I'll say so clearly before you're asked to pay for it, and version 1 will keep working.

Refunds

You have 30 days after you buy, on top of the 30-day trial. See the refund policy.

Your responsibilities

PEARSPECTIVE drafts and sends messages for you, and you decide what goes out. Nothing sends without your approval. You are responsible for what you send, and for following the laws that apply to email and marketing where you and your recipients are, such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the United States. The app has a daily send limit, a do-not-contact list and an opt-out line in every email, but those are tools and not a guarantee of compliance.

The app uses your own accounts and keys for AI, email, calendar and similar services. You pay those providers directly and you must follow their terms. Costs on those accounts are yours.

What you can't do

• Share, sell or publish your license key.
• Copy, resell or rent the app, or take it apart to build a competing product.
• Use it to send spam, to deceive people, or to break the law.

If a key is shared or abused, I can revoke it.

Leads and facts the app finds

Lead suggestions, scores and drafts come from public information and from AI. They can be wrong or out of date. Check anything that matters before you act on it.

No warranty

I work hard to make PEARSPECTIVE reliable, but software has bugs. It's provided as is, without promises that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will win you any particular work.

Limits on my liability

To the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for lost income, lost clients, lost data or other indirect losses from using the app. Back up your work; the app can do it for you. My total liability for anything related to PEARSPECTIVE is limited to what you paid me for it in the 12 months before the problem.

Ending the license

You can stop using PEARSPECTIVE at any time. I can end a license if you break these terms or if a payment is refunded or disputed. If that happens, the app goes read-only and your data stays on your computer.

Changes

I may update these terms. If I do, the date at the top changes, and changes that matter will be noted in the app. Using the app after that means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona. If we can't settle a disagreement ourselves, it goes to the state or federal courts in Arizona. If the law where you live gives you rights that can't be waived, those still apply.
