Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Renovate (also known as Hello Renovate) and govern your access to and use of the Renovate software-as-a-service platform available at hellorenovate.com and the associated mobile applications (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
01Who we are
Renovate is operated by Bilal Shahzad, doing business as Renovate (“Renovate”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Correspondence should be sent to info@hellorenovate.com.
Renovate is a software tool that helps renovation contractors run their business. Creating estimates, sending invoices, tracking jobs, and communicating with clients. Renovate does not perform renovation work itself and is not a party to any commercial relationship you have with your own customers.
02Eligibility and account registration
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at info@hellorenovate.com if you suspect unauthorized use.
03Subscription plans and fees
Renovate is offered on two paid monthly subscription tiers:
- Pro. USD 29.99 per month

Feature entitlements for each plan are described on the pricing page at hellorenovate.com/pricing. Prices are quoted in United States Dollars unless a different currency is displayed to you at checkout.
Subscriptions renew automatically each month on the anniversary of your initial payment. You may cancel at any time from the billing screen inside the Service or by contacting us. See our Refund Policy for details on cancellation and refunds.
04Billing through Stripe
Payments for Renovate subscriptions are processed by Stripe, Inc., our authorised payment processor. When you subscribe, your commercial contract for the transaction is with Renovate, who collects payment via Stripe, issues receipts, and administers refunds under the terms of this document.
By subscribing you agree to Stripe's Payment Terms in addition to these Terms.
Payments you receive from your own customers through the Service are collected through your linked Stripe Connect account. They are separate from your Renovate subscription and do not flow through Renovate.

09Termination
