Keystone Hound

Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-09-22

These terms govern your use of Keystone Hound. Plain English on top, legal underneath. By subscribing or using the site, you agree to them.

The plain-English summary. Keystone Hound is a monthly, quarterly, or annual subscription to a hosted real-estate search dashboard — sheriff sale, tax-deed, and HUD foreclosure listings, scored and estimated automatically. It auto-renews until you cancel. New subscribers get a 14-day refund if it doesn't work for you. This is a research and discovery tool, not a real estate agent, lender, or advisor — it doesn't submit offers or give legal/financial advice, and every estimate (deal score, ARV, rent) is computed from public comps, not a formal appraisal. Repair-cost estimates use real photos when available (uploaded by you or, rarely, provided with the listing) and fall back to property records alone otherwise — every repair estimate states exactly which it used. Verifying a listing before you act on it is on you.

1.Who we are

Keystone Hound (the "Service") is built by the team behind StrongSkills, operated by Max Romano (sole proprietor) ("we," "us") based in the United States. By accessing the Service or subscribing, you ("you," "Subscriber") agree to be bound by these Terms. Contact us at hello@getstrongskills.com.

2.What the Service does

Keystone Hound aggregates real-estate listing data from public government sources — HUD FHA foreclosures, county sheriff sales, and county tax-deed/tax-claim auctions — for a set of counties we currently cover (see the product page for the current list). Each listing is enriched with computed estimates: a deal score, after-renovation value (ARV), estimated rent, and (where photos are available) an itemized AI repair-cost estimate. We are not a multiple listing service (MLS), a real estate brokerage, or a licensed appraiser, and nothing in the Service constitutes an offer, a guarantee of availability, or professional advice.

3.Subscriptions and pricing

Pricing. $49 USD per month, $119 USD per 3 months, or $279 USD per year. Prices may increase as the Service grows; active subscribers get at least 30 days notice before any change and keep their current price as long as their subscription stays continuously active.
Payment processor. Stripe processes your payment and collects applicable sales tax at checkout. See their terms at stripe.com/legal/consumer.
Renewal. Monthly subscriptions auto-renew monthly, quarterly subscriptions auto-renew every 3 months, and annual subscriptions auto-renew yearly. We email a reminder 7 days before quarterly and annual renewals.
Currency. All prices are in U.S. dollars.

4.Cancellation and refunds

Cancel anytime. Email hello@getstrongskills.com and we'll cancel it for you. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep access until then.
14-day refund for new subscribers. If it doesn't work for you, request a full refund within 14 days of your first payment. No questions, no friction.
After 14 days. No refunds for partial periods; cancel and you won't be billed again. Quarterly and annual prepayments after the 14-day window are non-refundable, but you can switch to a different tier at renewal.
Chargebacks. Disputing a charge with your card issuer instead of contacting us terminates your account immediately and you may not re-subscribe.

5.License and account use

While your subscription is active, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the dashboard for your own household's property search. Accounts are personal — don't share your login outside your own household, resell access, or scrape/bulk-export the Service's data for redistribution. When you cancel, access ends at the end of the current billing period.

6.Data accuracy and real-estate risk

Listing data is pulled from third-party and public sources and can be stale, incomplete, or wrong by the time you see it — always verify directly with the listing source (county office, sheriff's office, listing agent) before acting. Sheriff-sale and tax-deed listings carry real risk: liens, occupancy, title issues, and "as-is" condition are the buyer's own responsibility to investigate before bidding. Tax-deed starting bids reflect back taxes owed, not market value. Deal scores, ARV, rent, and repair-cost figures are AI-assisted estimates from comps and photos, not a formal appraisal or inspection, and can be wrong.

7.Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to violate any law or third party's rights, to scrape or bulk-export data for redistribution or to build a competing product, to attempt to discover our infrastructure beyond what's publicly exposed, or for any use prohibited by U.S. export controls. We may suspend or terminate your account for violation, with notice when feasible.

8.Intellectual property

Keystone Hound, its branding, and its site content are the property of Max Romano / StrongSkills, protected by U.S. and international copyright and trademark law. Subject to the license in Section 5, all rights are reserved. Underlying public listing data (MLS, county, federal sources) belongs to its original source, not to us.

9.Privacy

Our handling of your data is described in the Privacy Policy, incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10.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 merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and reliability. We don't warrant the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any listing, score, or estimate is accurate or fit for any purpose.

11.Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits or a bad real-estate deal, arising from the Service. Our total cumulative liability is limited to the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12.Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Keystone Hound, Max Romano, and our service providers from any claim arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

13.Changes to these Terms

If we change anything material, we'll update the date above and notify active subscribers by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. If you don't accept, cancel within those 14 days for a prorated refund of any unused prepaid period.

14.Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States. Disputes are resolved exclusively in state or federal courts located in New Jersey. Before filing a formal claim, contact us in good faith and allow 30 days to resolve the issue.
