TightShip Terms of Service

Last updated: May 8, 2026

By using TightShip ("the service"), you agree to these terms.

Note: This document is a starting point for closed beta and early paid US customers. Before any enterprise/agency customer or any EU/UK/CA customer, have it reviewed by a lawyer.

What TightShip is

TightShip is software for commercial production professionals (photographers, filmmakers, producers) to draft quotes, build call sheets, capture receipts, and manage crew contacts. Some features use AI (Claude by Anthropic) to assist drafting and data extraction.

Your account

• You must be 18 or older.
• You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
• One person per account (no shared logins on the same account).

What you can use it for

• Drafting and sending quotes for legitimate commercial production work
• Managing crew contacts you have permission to store
• Capturing business expense receipts

What you cannot use it for

• Illegal activity
• Generating misleading or fraudulent quotes
• Storing data you don't have permission to store (especially other people's contact information without their consent)
• Reverse-engineering the service or scraping its content
• Reselling TightShip or repackaging Claude as your own AI

AI-generated content (important)

TightShip uses AI to draft quotes, parse receipts, and extract contacts. AI-generated content is a suggestion, not a finished work product. You are responsible for:

• Reviewing every AI-generated quote before sending it to a client
• Verifying every AI-extracted receipt amount, date, vendor, and category
• Confirming AI-extracted contact information is correct
• Any business or financial decisions based on AI output

The AI can and does make mistakes. Common failure modes include — but are not limited to:

• Reading a subtotal as the grand total on a receipt with multiple total lines
• Misclassifying a receipt category (e.g., putting catering under "Meals" when it's full-crew "Catering")
• Missing line items the brief implied but didn't state explicitly
• Picking up the wrong name from a contact card when multiple appear
• Date ambiguity on receipts with non-US date formats (04/05 — April 5 or May 4?)
• Reading a vendor name with creative spelling differently across attempts on the same receipt

We are not liable for losses, errors, or disputes arising from AI-generated content. Treat AI output as a draft you must review, not a finished product. Once you send an AI-drafted quote to a client or save an AI-parsed receipt to your records, you have accepted responsibility for its contents.

Subscription and payment

• The service may be free during beta.
• Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually via Stripe.
• You can cancel anytime; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
• Refunds are at our discretion and generally not provided for partial months.

Service availability

• We aim for high uptime but do not guarantee 100% availability.
• Scheduled maintenance, outages from upstream providers (Supabase, Vercel, Anthropic, Resend), and unforeseen issues may cause downtime.
• We are not liable for losses caused by service downtime.

Intellectual property

• You retain ownership of all content you create (your quotes, call sheets, receipts, crew data).
• We retain ownership of the TightShip software, design, and branding.
• You grant us a limited license to host, display, and process your content for the purpose of providing the service.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TightShip's total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of:

• $100, OR
• The amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.

Termination

• You can terminate your account at any time via Settings → Delete account, which permanently removes all your data within minutes. You can also email cody@codyjamesphoto.com to request manual deletion.
• We can terminate or suspend accounts that violate these terms, abuse the service, or for non-payment.
• Upon termination via our action, your data is deleted within 30 days unless you request earlier deletion.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be notified by email at least 14 days in advance.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Laramie County, Wyoming.
