Terms of Service

Avouch is a software tool that helps two people who have already agreed on a sublease handle the paperwork and coordinate payments: generating a standardized agreement, collecting e-signatures, and organizing rent, the deposit, and a one-time fee. Avouch is not a party to your sublease, not your landlord or tenant, not a real-estate broker, not a law firm, and not a bank or money transmitter.

Avouch currently operates in test mode. No real money moves: rent collection and the security-deposit escrow are simulated, and the generated agreement is a template, not legal advice. Do not rely on it for a real, binding transaction until we tell you otherwise.

Avouch charges a one-time flat fee of $35 when payments are set up for a sublease. (In test mode this is a test-mode charge, no real money is taken.) We do not take a percentage of your rent or your deposit. The fee covers the agreement and payment-coordination service and is non-refundable once payments are set up, except where required by law.

Avouch never holds your money. When real payments are enabled, all movement and holding of funds (rent, and the security deposit held in escrow) is handled by a regulated third-party payment provider that is responsible for that money and the related licensing and compliance. Avouch only orchestrates instructions.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter, for confirming that your sublease is permitted (for example, by your master lease and your landlord), and for your own legal and tax obligations. The agreement Avouch generates is provided as a convenience and is not guaranteed to be valid or enforceable in your jurisdiction. Use Avouch only for lawful purposes and only for a sublease you are genuinely a party to.

Keep your password and any invite links confidential. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or close accounts that misuse the service.

Avouchis provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Avouch and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for disputes between you and your counterparty. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for any claim relating to Avouch is limited to the amount of fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.

We may update these terms; material changes will be posted here with a new date. Continued use means you accept the updated terms.

Questions, or to reach a human, email us at support@avouchsublease.com. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Avouch is still a prototype in test mode; we will keep this section current, with legal review, before opening to the public.
