Terms of Service
The rules of the road.
Plain-English where possible. Lawyered where it has to be. Effective May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026.
These terms govern your use of texttimeline.com and any related TextTimeline software or services (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Who you are dealing with
The Service is operated by Evan Parra ("TextTimeline," "we," "us"). Contact: evan@texttimeline.com.
2. What the Service is — and what it is not
TextTimeline helps you search text-message exports and produce a citation-backed Evidence Report intended for use by you and your attorney in a family-law matter. The Service is software, not legal advice. Every output requires attorney review before use in any legal proceeding. TextTimeline is not a law firm, does not provide legal services, and does not represent you. No attorney–client relationship is formed by your use of the Service.
3. Your account
You must be at least 18 to use the Service. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account, for keeping your sign-in credentials secure, and for ensuring the email address on your account is one you actually monitor. Notify us at evan@texttimeline.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
4. Acceptable use
When you upload or otherwise submit content to the Service, you represent that:
- You have the legal right to possess and process the content for the purpose you are using it for, and your use complies with applicable law and any contracts you are subject to.
- You will not use the Service to harass, defame, or unlawfully surveil any person.
- You will not use the Service to upload content that is unlawful, infringing, or that you obtained in violation of the law of the jurisdiction where you live or where the content originated.
- You will not attempt to reverse engineer, disrupt, or circumvent the technical or access controls of the Service.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, with notice when practicable.
5. Payments and refunds
Pricing. Pricing is shown at texttimeline.com/pricing. The Evidence Report is a one-time charge per report. Matter Storage is a recurring subscription. All amounts are in US dollars and exclude any applicable taxes.
Billing. Payments are processed by Stripe. By submitting payment you authorize us (through Stripe) to charge the payment method you provide.
Subscriptions. Matter Storage renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel from the in-app billing page or by emailing evan@texttimeline.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; we do not pro-rate partial months.
Refunds. If your Evidence Report fails to generate, or you discover a material defect in the deliverable within 7 days of purchase, email evan@texttimeline.com and we will refund the purchase. Outside that window, refunds are at our discretion. Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
6. Your content; our software
Your content stays yours. You retain all rights to the content you upload, the reports you generate, and the notes you add. We claim no ownership of your content.
Limited license to operate the Service. You grant TextTimeline a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, and display your content solely as necessary to operate the Service for you. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except where retention is required by law.
No training on your content. We do not, and our AI vendors contractually do not, use your content to train machine learning models. See the Privacy Policy for more detail.
Our software stays ours. TextTimeline, including the website, application code, brand, and documentation, is the property of Evan Parra and is protected by intellectual-property law. These terms do not transfer any rights in our software to you.
7. The deliverable is software output, not testimony
The Evidence Report is software-generated output that surfaces and summarizes message content with citations. It is not sworn testimony, expert opinion, or a chain-of-custody affidavit. Your attorney is responsible for authenticating evidence and laying foundation in court. TextTimeline outputs require attorney review and are not a substitute for legal judgment.
8. Service availability
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may schedule maintenance, ship changes, or take the Service offline temporarily. We will give reasonable advance notice when a change materially affects existing functionality you depend on.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR FIT FOR YOUR PURPOSE.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TEXTTIMELINE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO TEXTTIMELINE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, the limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify TextTimeline against any third-party claim arising out of (a) content you submit to the Service, (b) your use of the Service in violation of these terms, or (c) your violation of applicable law. We will tell you promptly about any claim and reasonably cooperate in defense.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account. We may suspend or terminate the Service or your account for material breach of these terms or where required by law, with notice when practicable. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive.
13. Governing law and venue
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Duval County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of these terms or the Service.
14. General
These terms are the entire agreement between you and TextTimeline regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business.
We may update these terms by posting a revised version at this URL and updating the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be announced by email to active accounts. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
