Terms of Service

Effective date: [date]
Who we are: [LLC legal name], a Texas limited liability company doing business as The Scoop Library ("we", "us"). Contact: [support email], [mailing address].
Who you are: the business that creates an account or buys from us ("you").

These terms cover the website at scoop-library-store.vercel.app and everything we sell there. They include, by reference, our Ad License (/license), Refund and Credit Policy (/refunds) and Privacy Policy (/privacy). If you buy Ad Coach or Done For You, those terms apply too.

1. Plain-English summary

Browsing is free. Every ad is $19. No monthly fee to buy ads.
You get a license to run the ad for your own business, on Meta and in your own marketing. You don't own it and can't resell it.
What your ad says about your business (prices, offers, claims) is up to you, and you're responsible for it.
Once you use an ad, we won't sell it to anyone whose ZIP codes overlap yours for 90 days.
If Meta rejects an ad as we delivered it and you tell us within 30 days, you pick: a swap, a credit or a refund.
Free ads expire 12 months after we give them. One free-ad code per business, ever.
We don't promise results. The site doesn't show results or badges for any ad for now.

The full terms below control if this summary and the terms ever disagree.

2. Who can use The Scoop Library

You must be a business (including a sole owner running a business) and at least 18. These terms are a business agreement, not a consumer sale.
The person who accepts these terms says they can bind the business.
Keep your login private. You're responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at once if someone else gets in.
One account per business. Each location of a franchise or multi-location company is a separate business for the free ad code and area lock.

3. The library

Anyone can browse previews. Previews are watermarked and may show placeholder details.
The ads in the library so far were made by Stellar Pet Cleanup, the pet waste business our company also runs, for its own marketing.
For now the site doesn't show results, performance numbers or badges for any ad. Nothing on the site is a claim about how an ad will do for you or how it did for anyone else. See section 11.
We add, change and retire ads at any time.
Some ads are seasonal and only offered during their window.

4. Buying an ad

Price. $19 per ad, shown before you pay. Prices are set in our product list and may change, but not for an order you've already placed.
Two kinds of ads. Instant download ads carry no business details and download right after payment. Add your details ads ask only for the fields that ad needs (for example business name, area, phone or price) and any wording choices it offers. We render the ad with your exact answers and deliver it right away, usually within a minute, on your order page and by email. If your words don't fit the design, we ask you before we send it.
What you get. The image in both Meta sizes, feed (1080 x 1350) and Stories/Reels (1080 x 1920), plus 3 versions of the ad text, a headline and a short launch checklist.
Your answers are what we print. Check your spelling, phone number and prices before you pay. If text doesn't fit, we contact you instead of shipping cut-off text. If you spot a typo of your own after delivery, tell us within 14 days and we'll remake that ad once for free (Refund and Credit Policy, section 2).
Payment. We take payment through Stripe (cards, Link, Apple Pay, Google Pay). We never see or store your full card number. If you save a payment method, you authorize us to charge it each time you click "Use this ad" or another button that shows a price, for the amount shown, plus tax if any. You can remove a saved method at any time in your account.
Taxes. Prices don't include sales tax. We add tax where the law requires it [pending the CPA's answer; see cpa-questions.md].
Receipts go to your account email.
We may decline or cancel an order before delivery (for example: a no-sell area, a lock conflict, wording Meta would reject, suspected fraud, or a pricing error). If we cancel, we refund what you paid.

5. Free ad codes, credits and referrals

Free ad code. One free-ad code per business, ever: once your business has claimed a free ad with any code, no other code works for it. The free ad is any ad, claimed with a free account. Codes can't be sold and have no cash value. We can end a code at any time; codes already claimed stay good.
Credits. We give credits for things like a free ad code, a founding tester spot, sharing results, a referral, a Meta rejection, or as a goodwill gesture. One credit = one ad of your choice. Credits have no cash value and can't be transferred or sold. A credit expires 12 months after we give it, except a founding tester's 3 free ads, which expire 60 days after we give them. Your account shows each credit's expiry date. An ad you get with a credit is licensed exactly like a paid ad.
Referrals. When a business you referred buys its first paid ad and we deliver it, you get one credit. You can't refer yourself, another location of your own company, or a business that already had an account.
Founding testers. The first 10 companies we accept get 3 free ads in total (a free ad already claimed with a code counts as one of the 3) under the separate Founding Tester Agreement.

6. Where we sell

We don't sell in every area. In particular, we don't sell to companies whose service area includes ZIP codes our own pet waste business serves, or ZIP codes within 20 miles of them, and during our founding test we don't sell anywhere in the Houston, Texas metro area. This is our own decision about where we sell. We don't ask you to promise anything about where you work. If any ZIP code you give us falls in an area we don't sell into, we may decline your account, code or order, or cancel it before delivery and refund you. On the site this shows as "This area isn't open yet."

7. Your license

Every ad, ad text, headline and checklist we deliver is licensed to you under the Ad License, not sold. In short: run it for your own business, on Meta and in your own marketing (website, door hangers, flyers); no resale, sharing or reuse for other companies; the 90-day area lock; you're responsible for your offers and claims; a Meta rejection reported within 30 days gets your pick of a swap, a credit or a refund. The Ad License controls.

8. Your information and content

You give us your business details, ZIP codes, prices, offers, logo, photos and wording. You promise they're true, that you have the right to use them, and that anyone pictured in a photo you send agreed to it.
You let us use them to make, check and deliver your ads, to run the area lock, and to run our business as our Privacy Policy describes.
We may refuse wording that breaks Meta's advertising rules (for example health claims, "#1", or words that assert a personal trait of the viewer) or the law. We never refuse an ad because of which offer you choose.

9. Things you may not do

Copy, scrape or download previews or files except the ones delivered to your account.
Share your login, or buy for another business through your account.
Remove or alter the hidden identifier in delivered files, or try to get around watermarks, the area lock or our no-sell areas (for example, by entering ZIP codes you don't serve).
Use our ads, text or library to train an AI model, or to build a competing ad library or template service.
Break the law or Meta's rules using our ads.

10. Subscriptions (Ad Coach and Done For You)

Ad Coach is $49 a month, charged at checkout and then on the same day each month until you cancel. You connect your Meta ad account read-only through the Meta Ads connector, and twice a week we send recommendations and keep an eye on how your ads are performing. We can see your results; we never change your ads.
Done For You is $249 a month, plus your own Meta ad spend paid directly to Meta. Nothing is charged when you sign up. The first $249 is charged the day we launch your ads, then on that day each month until you cancel. It includes unlimited static ads from the library, made and launched for you; your campaigns managed in your own Meta ad account; a report twice a week; and on-call support. We take 5 Done For You companies at a time; when it's full, we keep a waitlist.
Cancel either one any time in your account or by emailing [support email]. Cancelling stops the next charge; service runs to the end of the month you paid for. No refunds for partial months when you cancel.
If we can't deliver the service for part of a month because of something on our side, we refund the unused part of that month (Refund and Credit Policy, section 5).
Their own terms (Ad Coach terms, the Done For You agreement) apply on top of these.

No promised results. We don't promise any result from any ad. An ad that did well for one company in one market may not do well for you. Your ad spend, targeting, offer, prices, reviews, landing page, follow-up and season all matter. You decide what to spend.
Sharing your results. If you send us your Ads Manager numbers for an ad (spend, leads, cost per lead, and customers if you track them) 14 or more days after we delivered it, we add one credit to your account, whatever the numbers say. One credit per ad. An ad you got with a results credit doesn't earn another. We use your numbers to decide which ads stay in the library and how to improve them. Sharing them doesn't mean they'll be shown: the site shows no results for now, and if we ever publish results, it's in combined or anonymous form, without your name.
We'll only use your name, logo or words in public with your written OK, and we'll say if you got anything free.
We never share your results or account details with Stellar Pet Cleanup, the pet waste business our company also runs, or with any other pet waste company (Privacy Policy, section 3).

12. AI and similar ads

Our ads are made with AI image tools and edited by people. AI-made images may not be protected by copyright, and someone else may make or run an ad that looks similar. Every running Meta ad is public in Meta's Ad Library, so competitors can see yours once it runs. Some ads show people who were made by AI; those ads are tagged, and the Ad License tells you what that means if you advertise in New York.

13. Our property

The website, library, ads, templates, ad text and software belong to us or our licensors. Except for the license you get to ads you buy, these terms give you no rights in them. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without paying you.

14. Ending your account

You can close your account at any time. Ads you already have stay licensed under the Ad License.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, files a chargeback without contacting us first, or puts us at legal risk. If we close your account without cause, we refund unused paid credits.

15. Disclaimers

Except for the promises in these terms, the site, the ads and everything we provide come "as is". To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't control Meta, its review process, its prices or its rules, and we aren't responsible for Meta's decisions about your account.

16. Limit on our liability

To the extent the law allows: (a) we're not liable for lost profits, lost leads, ad spend, or indirect, special or consequential damages; and (b) our total liability for any claim about the site or anything we sold you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

17. Your responsibility to us (indemnity)

You'll cover our costs, including reasonable lawyer fees, from claims by others that come from your business details, offers, prices or claims in your ads, content you gave us, how you ran the ads, or your breach of these terms. [We'll cover yours from a claim that an ad as we delivered it, used as these terms allow, infringes someone's copyright or trademark.]

18. Disputes and the law that applies

Texas law applies, without its conflict-of-law rules.
Before filing anything, email us at [support email] and give us 30 days to fix it.
Lawsuits go to the state or federal courts in [Montgomery] County, Texas, and both of us agree to those courts. Either of us may use small claims court instead where it qualifies.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll post the new version with its effective date and, for changes that matter, email you at least 14 days before they apply. The terms in effect when you placed an order apply to that order.

20. General

These terms, with the documents they include, are the whole agreement between us about the site. If a part can't be enforced, the rest still applies. You can't transfer these terms without our written OK; we may transfer them to a company that takes over The Scoop Library. Neither of us is liable for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control. Notices to you go to your account email; notices to us go to [support email] and [mailing address].
