The Services, including software, design, workflows, text, and trademarks, are owned by Heirloom or its licensors and protected by applicable law.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for internal planning purposes.
9. Third-Party Services
The Services integrate third-party providers for infrastructure, authentication, communications, billing, analytics, financial account connections, and AI processing. A named list of our material subprocessors is maintained in our Privacy Policy. Use of third-party features may also be subject to the terms and policies of those providers.
Plaid (financial account connections). When you choose to connect a bank, credit card, brokerage, or loan, we use Plaid Inc. ("Plaid") to gather your financial information directly from the institution you select. You authorize Plaid to access your financial account data on your behalf and to transmit that data to Heirloom. Bank login credentials are entered directly into Plaid Link and are never seen, received, or stored by Heirloom. Your use of Plaid is governed by the Plaid End User Services Agreement and the Plaid Privacy Policy. By using a Heirloom feature that connects a financial account, you agree that Plaid may collect, use, and share your information consistent with its policies. You can disconnect any institution at any time from Settings → Connections, which revokes our access at Plaid; see our Privacy Policy for what happens to the data we have already pulled.
10. Fees, Trial, and Auto-Renewal
Subscription billing is processed by Polar.sh. Payment card data is handled by Polar and is not stored by Heirloom.
Trial. Your 10-day trial begins on the date you provide a valid payment method. At the end of the trial, your payment method will be automatically charged the then-current subscription price disclosed at signup unless you cancel before the trial ends.
Auto-renewal. Unless you cancel, your subscription will automatically renew at the selected billing cadence (monthly or annually) at the then-current price. We will send a reminder approximately 48 hours before your trial converts to a paid subscription. For longer billing periods, we will provide renewal notice consistent with applicable law, including California Business & Professions Code §17602.
Cancellation. You may cancel at any time through your account settings. Online cancellation is available without calling, emailing, or otherwise contacting us. If you cancel before your trial ends, you will not be charged.
Refunds. Subscription fees are non-refundable once services are rendered, except as required by law. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at hello@planheirloom.com.
This Section is intended to comply with California's Automatic Renewal Law and the federal Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA).
11. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, posed a security risk, or where required by law.

Informal resolution. Before filing any formal claim, the parties agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at hello@planheirloom.com with a written description of the dispute and the relief sought. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, either party may proceed with formal resolution.
