1. Agreement
These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Marston Ventures, LLC, which operates Ownacy™ ("Ownacy," "we," "us," or "our"). By using this website, downloading the free templates or buying the customized documents, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use Ownacy.
2. What Ownacy Is
Ownacy provides self-help documents and general information to help homeowners update the name shown on their property record using a Homeowner Privacy Trust and a deed.
- Free templates: blank Homeowner Privacy Trust and Texas deed templates, delivered as a PDF.
- Customized documents: a guided online form where you enter your own information. Your documents are created from the information you enter, and you print them.
You fill in, review, sign, notarize and file every document yourself. Ownacy does not file anything for you.
3. Not Legal Advice
Everything Ownacy provides, including the website, templates, questionnaire, help text, instructions and documents, is general information for self-help use. It is not legal, tax or financial advice. Using Ownacy does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you want advice about your situation, talk to a licensed attorney.
4. Your Login
After you buy the customized documents, your account is created and a login PIN is emailed to you. Keep your PIN private. You're responsible for activity under your login and for giving us accurate information.
Your account stays open for 30 days after payment. During that time, you can print or download up to 3 trusts. You can add one free 7-day extension. After that, your account and all trusts in it are deleted, so download your documents before then.
5. Payment
- The customized documents are a one-time payment in U.S. dollars. There is no subscription.
- Payments are handled by our payment processor. We don't store your full card number.
- County filing fees are not included. You pay those to the county when you file.
- We may change our prices. Changes don't affect purchases already completed.
6. Accurate Documents Guarantee and Refunds
To use the Accurate Documents Guarantee, contact us with your order email and a copy of the county's rejection notice or a short description of the reason the county gave.
The Accurate Documents Guarantee does not cover rejections caused by information you entered (for example, a misspelled name or a legal description that doesn't match your current deed), missing signatures or notarization, unpaid county fees, or county requirements unrelated to how Ownacy generated the documents.
Because the documents are available right after purchase, all other sales are final, except where the law requires otherwise.
7. Your Responsibilities
Before you sign or file anything, you are responsible for:
- Checking every name, address, date and legal description against your current deed.
- Making sure the documents fit your situation, including any lender, co-owner, tax or other requirements.
- Signing in front of a notary and filing the deed with the county clerk.
Don't sign a document you don't understand.
8. What Changes and What Doesn't
Once the deed is recorded, the property record can show your Homeowner Privacy Trust name instead of your personal name. Ownacy does not guarantee anonymity. Your property address stays public, the recorded deed may show your name as trustee, and your information may still appear in other records or databases.
9. Use of Ownacy Materials
You may use Ownacy documents for your own property. You may not resell, republish or use Ownacy materials, templates or the online form for commercial purposes, or share your login, without our written permission.
10. Ownership
The Ownacy name, logo, website, templates, questionnaire and content belong to Marston Ventures, LLC and are protected by copyright and trademark law. The documents you complete for your own property are yours to use.
11. No Warranty
Except for the Accurate Documents Guarantee in Section 6, Ownacy is provided "as is" and "as available." We don't promise that the materials are complete, error-free or right for every person, property or county.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Ownacy is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages related to your use of Ownacy. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. The current version will always be on this page with its "Last updated" date. Changes don't apply to purchases already completed.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by Texas law. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts in Harris County, Texas.
