Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 September 2026

These Terms govern your use of the Jib mobile app (com.jibjobs.app) and the jibapp.com.au website (together, “Jib”), provided by Thomas Horsey (ABN 32 407 565 881), Queensland, Australia (“we”, “us”). By using Jib you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Jib.

1. What Jib is

Jib is a home-improvement companion. It helps you plan, track and manage jobs across the spaces in your house, including AI-assisted job planning, material and shopping suggestions, step-by-step directions, cost estimates and a photo record of your progress. The website also publishes general guides and free tools.

2. Accounts

You can use core features of the mobile app without an account, with your data stored only on your device. Signing in, with Google, Apple or an email/password account, enables cloud sync across your devices. You’re responsible for keeping your account (and any Google or Apple account you sign in with) secure, and for activity that happens through it.

3. Your content

You own the photos, notes, descriptions and other content you add (“Your Content”). If you use cloud sync, you give us the limited right to store, process and transmit Your Content only to provide Jib to you. We don’t use it for anything else and don’t sell it. Don’t upload anything you don’t have the right to, or anything unlawful, harmful or infringing.

Shared houses: everyone you share a house with can see and edit everything in it, including its jobs, photos, shopping list and inventory, and can add their own content. Only share a house with people you trust. You can remove members or stop sharing at any time.

4. AI-generated content

Jib uses AI (Anthropic’s Claude API) to generate job plans, steps, material and shopping suggestions, cost estimates and safety warnings from the information and photos you provide.

4.1 This is not professional advice

AI-generated content is produced automatically from general knowledge and whatever you’ve entered. It is not a substitute for advice from a licensed tradesperson, engineer or other qualified professional. The AI doesn’t inspect your property and can’t verify what it’s told or shown.

4.2 Safety warnings are a prompt, not a guarantee

Jib may show warnings, for example about live wiring, hazardous chemicals, or work that legally requires a licensed tradesperson in your area. These warnings are not exhaustive, and the absence of a warning does not mean a job is safe or legal. You are solely responsible for deciding whether a job is safe for you to do, and for engaging a licensed professional for electrical, gas, plumbing, structural, working-at-height, hazardous-material or any other work that legally or practically requires one where you live.

4.3 Use your own judgment

Always check AI-generated steps, materials and costs against your own knowledge, local rules, manufacturer instructions and, where appropriate, professional advice before acting on them. Costs, availability and product details are estimates and may be wrong or out of date.

5. Guides and tools on the website

Our guides and the DIY legality checker are general information based on the official sources we cite, checked on the date shown on each page. Rules change and can differ by council, property and circumstance, so they are not legal advice. Confirm with your state regulator or council before starting work.

6. Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

Jib and all AI-generated and published content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

We are not liable for any injury, property damage, financial loss or other harm arising from your use of Jib or reliance on its content, including harm from doing a home-improvement job, using tools or materials, or exposure to hazards (including electrical, chemical or structural hazards) that Jib did or did not warn you about.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose (for most users, nothing).

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that can’t lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. Where liability can’t lawfully be excluded, it is limited (at our option, where permitted) to supplying the relevant service again.

7. Subscriptions and payments

Some features need a paid subscription or a one-off AI credit top-up, billed and processed entirely through Google Play or the Apple App Store; we never collect or store your payment details.

• Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically at the price and interval shown at purchase unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date, in your Google Play or Apple ID subscription settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
• Free trials: where a plan offers a free trial, it’s available once per person, as the app store determines. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription starts and you’re charged the price shown when you started the trial.
• AI credits: each plan includes a monthly allowance of AI credits. The allowance resets each month and unused credits don’t roll over. Top-up credits you buy separately don’t expire and are used after your monthly allowance. Credits have no cash value, can’t be transferred, and are lost if you delete your account.
• Price changes: if a subscription price changes, Apple or Google will tell you before it applies to you, and you can cancel before it takes effect.
• Refunds: purchases are made through Apple or Google, so refund requests go to them under their refund policies (Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com; Google: through your Google Play order history). This doesn’t limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, including to a refund or remedy if the service has a major failure.

If you got Jib from the Apple App Store: your use of the app is also governed by Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). If it conflicts with these Terms, the EULA applies to the extent of the conflict.

8. Acceptable use

Don’t use Jib for anything unlawful; don’t try to reverse-engineer or extract its source code except where the law allows; don’t interfere with its operation or servers; and don’t use it to create or store illegal, abusive or infringing content. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms.

9. Intellectual property

Jib’s design, code, content and branding are owned by us and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms don’t give you any rights to them beyond what’s needed to use Jib as intended.

10. Third-party services

Jib relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase, Apple (Sign in with Apple), Anthropic, Google Places/geocoding, RevenueCat and GitHub Pages. Your use is also subject to their terms where applicable. We aren’t responsible for their availability or performance.

11. Termination

You can stop using Jib at any time and delete your account and cloud data from within the app, or request deletion here. We may suspend or end access if you breach these Terms, or discontinue Jib or any feature, with reasonable notice where practical.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. If a change materially affects you, we’ll give you reasonable notice before it takes effect, in the app or by email, and update the “Last updated” date above. If you don’t agree with a change, you can stop using Jib and cancel any subscription before the change takes effect. Minor changes, such as corrections or clarifications that don’t reduce your rights, take effect when published.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
