By creating an account or using the NestVault service ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Sutherlin Ventures LLC dba NestVault, a California limited liability company ("NestVault," "we," "us," or "our").
NESTVAULT IS AN ORGANIZATIONAL AND DOCUMENT STORAGE TOOL. IT IS NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISOR, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, LEGAL ADVISOR, ESTATE PLANNER, INSURANCE BROKER, OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICE.
Nothing in the Service or communications from NestVault constitutes financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice. NestVault does not verify the accuracy of information you enter into your vault. NestVault does not advise you on estate planning, beneficiary designations, insurance coverage, investment decisions, or any other matter.
You should consult qualified professionals, including attorneys, financial advisors, and insurance professionals, for advice specific to your situation. NestVault provides organization and delivery; all decisions about what to include, how to structure your estate, and what beneficiaries to name are entirely yours.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
You must create an account to use the Service. You agree to:
Each subscription covers one primary vault holder. The primary holder may invite designated family members to access the vault through the built-in Family Access feature; those members access the vault under the primary holder's subscription. Sharing your account login credentials with anyone outside the Family Access feature is prohibited.

NestVault provides:
NestVault is developing a verified beneficiary release system that will allow designated beneficiaries to request vault access upon verified death. This feature is not yet available. Until it launches, subscribers are responsible for sharing vault access instructions directly with their designated beneficiaries. NestVault will notify subscribers when the beneficiary release system becomes available.
NestVault is developing a verified beneficiary release system that will allow a designated beneficiary to request vault access upon presentation of a death certificate and government-issued identification. This feature is not yet available.
Until the system launches, subscribers are solely responsible for sharing vault access instructions (vault password, login email, and any other information needed to read the vault) directly with their designated beneficiaries through whatever channel they choose: an attorney, an estate plan, a sealed envelope, or any other arrangement.
Because of zero-knowledge encryption, NestVault cannot decrypt vault contents on behalf of a beneficiary or anyone else, including in response to a death certificate. The vault password is the only key.
NestVault will notify all current subscribers by email when the beneficiary release system becomes available, along with the operational terms in effect at that time. Until then, the absence of this feature does not entitle subscribers to a refund or service credit.
You own all information you enter into your vault. By using the Service, you grant NestVault a limited license to store, process, and transmit your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
You are responsible for the accuracy of information in your vault. NestVault does not verify, audit, or validate vault contents.
You agree not to:
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your Account Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Vault data is retained for 90 days after cancellation then permanently deleted.
Upon cancellation:
We recommend reviewing your vault contents before cancelling. After 90 days your encrypted data is permanently deleted.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
NESTVAULT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS; OR THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST (THOUGH WE TAKE EXTENSIVE PRECAUTIONS).
THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NESTVAULT'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:
(a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO NESTVAULT IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
IN NO EVENT SHALL NESTVAULT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
This limitation applies to all claims regardless of the theory of liability, including breach of contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal or equitable theory.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NestVault and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), rather than in court, except that either party may bring individual claims in small claims court.
YOU AND NESTVAULT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court finds this waiver unenforceable, the arbitration agreement shall not apply to that claim.
You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of creating your account with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out." If you opt out, you and NestVault agree to resolve disputes in state or federal courts located in Orange County, California.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm while arbitration proceeds.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For disputes not subject to arbitration, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction in state and federal courts located in Orange County, California.
We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the new Terms take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, cancel your subscription before the effective date.
