PoolGuyX

Terms of Use

Last updated: September 30, 2026

1. Agreement and eligibility

By creating an account or using PoolGuyX (the “App”), you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. You must be at least 18, legally able to enter into a contract, and located in the United States. If you use the App for a business, you confirm you can bind that business. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. What PoolGuyX is — and is not

PoolGuyX is a technology platform that lets pool owners and pool professionals find and contact each other. We are not a pool service company, contractor, employer, staffing agency, insurer, broker, payment processor or escrow agent. We do not perform, supervise, guarantee or control any work, and we are not a party to any agreement, sale, rental or service between users. Any agreement is only between the users involved. PoolGuyX is currently operated by its owner as an individual (sole proprietor) based in Florida, not by a company; “PoolGuyX”, “we” and “us” refer to that operator. We may later move the App to a company we form or to a successor; if that happens, these Terms and your data move with it, we will let you know, and your rights under these Terms will not be reduced by the move.

3. Independent users, no employment

Pool professionals are independent businesses or individuals, not employees, agents, partners or contractors of PoolGuyX. Nothing in the App creates an employment, agency, partnership or joint-venture relationship. Professionals decide whether, when and how to work and are solely responsible for their own taxes, licenses, insurance, tools, chemicals, helpers and results.

4. We do not vet users

We do not verify, endorse or guarantee any user, listing, request, photo, rating, license, insurance, background or ability, even if a profile shows a “verified” badge (a phone badge only means the number was confirmed by text; an identity badge only means our team reviewed the profile’s name, photo and phone — it is not an ID or background check). You decide whom to trust. You are responsible for checking licenses and insurance and for any background check you consider necessary. Use your own judgment and caution.

5. Licenses, insurance and the law

Pool service, chemical handling, repairs and other work may require licenses, certifications, insurance or permits under Florida and local law. Each professional states and promises that they hold everything their work requires. Pool owners are responsible for hiring lawfully. We recommend that professionals carry general liability insurance and that owners ask for proof.

6. Safety and property access

Pool work involves real risks: chemicals, electricity, water, equipment, animals and entering someone’s property. You are solely responsible for your own safety, the safety of others and what you agree to do. Pool owners choose what access information (address, gate or door codes, notes) to give a professional and to whom; PoolGuyX is not responsible for how that information is used. Share only what is needed. In an emergency call 911 — the App is not an emergency service.

7. Sharing other people’s information

If you post a pool, route, vacation cover, subcontract or job for a property that is not yours (for example, your client’s pool), you confirm that its owner has authorized you to share its address, access details (such as gate or door codes), photos and notes with other users, and you are solely responsible for that sharing. Give access details only to the person you accept, only for as long as the work requires, and ask the owner to change codes when the work ends. Never post anyone’s private information without permission.

8. Subcontracts, vacation cover and route sales

When a professional hands off pools, a route or vacation days to another professional, each of them stays responsible to their own clients unless they agree otherwise in writing between themselves. The professional who covers or takes over the work does it independently and under their own responsibility. Anyone selling a route, client list or pool service remains solely responsible for the accuracy of what they state (number of pools, clients, revenue, condition, days) and for having the right to transfer it; buyers must do their own checks. PoolGuyX does not guarantee that any client will stay, pay or accept a new professional, and is not a party to these deals.

9. Marketplace: sales and rentals

Equipment, products and services listed in the Marketplace are offered by users, not by PoolGuyX, and are sold or rented “as is” unless the seller promises otherwise. Sellers and renters are solely responsible for the description, condition, safety, legality, delivery, return, deposits and any damage or loss. Chemicals must be sold in their original, labeled containers and in compliance with the law; repackaged, unlabeled or recalled products are not allowed. PoolGuyX is not responsible for items that are defective, dangerous, not delivered, not returned or damaged.

10. Payments happen outside the app

Payments between users (cash, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App or any other method) are agreed and made directly between them, outside the App. PoolGuyX does not hold, process, guarantee, insure, refund or collect that money, and there is no escrow. The “paid” and “received” buttons and the payment records in the App are only statements made by users: we do not verify them and they are not proof of payment. Protect yourself: agree on the price first, keep your own receipts and avoid paying in advance to people you do not know. Paid plans, when available, are processed by Stripe under its own terms.

11. Paid plans, automatic renewal and cancellation

Paid plans (PRO and Premium) are billed in advance through Stripe, monthly or yearly, at the price shown before you pay, plus any applicable tax. YOUR PLAN RENEWS AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF EACH PERIOD AND YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED THE THEN-CURRENT PRICE UNTIL YOU CANCEL. You can cancel at any time in Profile → your plan → Cancel subscription, or by writing to support@poolguyx.com; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid, you keep access until then, and you are not charged again. Payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods, except where the law requires or when you switch plans (the unused time of the old plan is credited proportionally). We may change prices or plan features; we will tell you at least 30 days before a price change applies to your next renewal, and you can cancel before it takes effect. If a payment fails, we may pause or downgrade your plan. During a free or beta period, features may be offered at no cost for a limited time and later require a paid plan. Disputing a valid charge with your bank may lead to suspension of your account.

12. Referral program and Wallet

You may earn a commission when someone who joined through your referral link buys a paid plan and Stripe confirms the payment. Self-referrals, duplicate or fake accounts, paid or misleading promotion, spam and any other abuse are prohibited; we may withhold, reverse or cancel commissions and close accounts involved in abuse, or when a payment is refunded or charged back. Your Wallet balance is a record of commissions, not a bank or deposit account; it earns no interest, cannot be transferred and has no cash value except through a withdrawal request that we approve, subject to the minimum amount, method and verification we require (including tax information). You are responsible for any taxes on what you earn. We may change or end the program at any time; commissions already approved before the change will be honored unless they involve abuse.

13. Disputes between users

Any dispute, claim, damage, injury or loss between users (including unpaid work, poor or incomplete work, damaged property, no-shows, false information or misconduct) is to be resolved between those users. The App’s report and warning tools are a courtesy: PoolGuyX may, but is not obliged to, review a report, warn, suspend or remove someone, and has no duty to investigate, mediate, recover money or compensate anyone. Our decisions are at our sole discretion and are not a finding of fault or a guarantee of any outcome.

14. Ratings and content

Ratings, reviews and other content are the opinions of the users who wrote them, not of PoolGuyX. A user’s score counts one vote per person and may be adjusted or removed if we suspect manipulation. We do not monitor everything users post and are not responsible for it. You own what you post and give PoolGuyX a worldwide, royalty-free license to host and show it in the App and to use it to run and protect the service. Post only what you have the right to share and never other people’s private data. Photos sent as proof of work or evidence may be seen by the other party and by PoolGuyX administrators. To report content or infringement write to support@poolguyx.com.

15. Rules of use

Do not: commit fraud or post false listings, requests, ratings or identities; harass, threaten or discriminate; offer illegal goods or services; spam or scrape the App; try to break, bypass or overload it; create another account to avoid a suspension; or use the App for anything unlawful. We may warn, restrict, suspend or remove accounts and content at any time, with or without notice.

16. Your account and security

Give accurate information and keep it up to date. One person per account; do not share, sell or transfer your account. Keep your password and devices secure: you are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us right away at support@poolguyx.com if you suspect unauthorized use. We may ask you to verify your identity or phone number and may limit features until you do.

17. Our intellectual property and feedback

The App, the PoolGuyX name and logo, and its design, software and content (other than user content) belong to PoolGuyX and are protected by law. We give you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the App for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, sell, reverse engineer, scrape or build a competing service from it, or use our name or logo without written permission. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely without owing you anything.

18. Copyright complaints

If you believe content in the App infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@poolguyx.com with: your contact information; the work you claim is infringed; where the content is in the App; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove the content and will close the accounts of repeat infringers.

19. Text messages and notifications

When you enter your phone number and ask for a verification code, you agree that PoolGuyX, through its provider Twilio, sends you a one-time text message with the code. Message and data rates from your carrier may apply. We send these texts only for account security and do not send marketing texts. Push and in-app notifications about requests, messages and payments can be turned off in your device or profile settings.

20. Electronic communications

You agree to receive agreements, notices and other communications from us electronically — in the App, by email or by notification — and that they satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

21. Beta service

The App is in beta and is provided “as is” and “as available”. Features can change or stop, and there can be errors, interruptions, delays or data loss. We do not guarantee that a request will get applicants, that a professional will show up, or that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free. Notifications, maps and location features depend on third parties and may fail.

22. No warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, POOLGUYX AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND PARTNERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ABOUT THE QUALITY, SAFETY, LEGALITY OR RESULTS OF ANY WORK, USER, LISTING OR CONTENT.

23. Limit of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, POOLGUYX IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY USER OR THIRD PARTY, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA OR GOODWILL, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, ARISING FROM THE APP OR FROM ANY WORK OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN USERS, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD IT COULD HAPPEN. IF WE ARE FOUND LIABLE FOR ANYTHING, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF US$100 OR WHAT YOU PAID POOLGUYX IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITS, SO PART OF THIS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

24. Release and indemnity

You release PoolGuyX from all claims, demands and damages (known or unknown) arising from disputes or dealings with other users. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless PoolGuyX and its owners, officers, employees and partners from any claim, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your use of the App, your content, your work or hiring, your breach of these Terms or the law, or your dealings with other users.

25. Governing law and arbitration

These Terms are governed by Florida law and the Federal Arbitration Act. Please contact support@poolguyx.com first; we will try to resolve any issue informally for 30 days. If we cannot, any dispute between you and PoolGuyX will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, not in court, except that either side may use small-claims court for claims that qualify and may go to court for intellectual-property claims. YOU AND POOLGUYX WAIVE JURY TRIAL AND ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; claims may only be brought individually. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days after first accepting these Terms by emailing support@poolguyx.com. Anything not arbitrated must be filed in the state or federal courts in Broward County, Florida, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Claims must be filed within one year after they arise. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against PoolGuyX by the same or coordinated counsel, they will be administered in batches as allowed by the arbitration rules, and the filing fees will be handled accordingly.

26. Suspension and account deletion

You can delete your account any time in Profile → Delete my account. We may suspend or end your access at any time, including for breaking these Terms, suspected fraud or safety reasons. Sections that by nature should continue (payments, content license, disclaimers, liability, release, indemnity, arbitration) survive. Paid plans are covered by the section on paid plans above.

27. Apple and Google app stores

If you get the App from the Apple App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and PoolGuyX only, not Apple or Google, and PoolGuyX — not Apple or Google — is responsible for the App and its content. Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or support. To the extent any warranty applies and the App fails to conform to it, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the App, including product liability, failure to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection or intellectual-property claims. You confirm you are not in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or listed as a prohibited or restricted party. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You must also follow the app store’s own terms of use.

28. Language

These Terms are available in English, Portuguese and Spanish for convenience. If there is any difference between versions, the English version controls.

29. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and PoolGuyX. If a part cannot be enforced, the rest stays in force. Not enforcing something is not a waiver. You may not transfer your account; we may transfer these Terms in a sale or restructuring. We may update these Terms; if the change is material we will tell you in the App, and continuing to use it means you accept it. Notices may be sent through the App or by email. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control (such as outages of our providers, natural disasters, hurricanes, war or government action).
