Operated by emefa LLC
Last updated: June 6, 2026
Working draft — pending legal review. This document sets out the terms for using the marshal application. It has not yet been reviewed by legal counsel and should be confirmed by a qualified attorney before being relied upon for legal representations.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using the marshal application or the website at marshalapp.us (together, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. The Service is operated by emefa LLC ("marshal," "we," "us," or "our").
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use marshal. By creating an account you confirm that you are 13 or older. marshal is not directed to children under 13. If you use marshal on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. Your Account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
4. Groups, Roles, and Content
marshal lets you create and join groups. Within a group, members may have roles such as member, admin, or owner, each with different permissions. Group administrators manage their group's settings, membership, and content.
Your content. You retain ownership of the content you post (messages, announcements, images, and similar). By posting content, you grant marshal a limited license to host, store, display, and transmit that content as necessary to operate the Service for you and your group.
Group control. When you participate in a group, the group's administrators control membership and the visibility of content within the group. emefa LLC acts as a processor handling data on the group's behalf, as described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- post unlawful, harassing, abusive, defamatory, or infringing content;
- impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation;
- attempt to access accounts, groups, or data you are not authorized to access;
- interfere with or disrupt the Service, or attempt to circumvent security or rate limits;
- use the Service to send spam or to collect others' information without authorization;
- use the Service in violation of any applicable law.
We may remove content or suspend access for violations.
6. Payments and Dues
If your group uses marshal's payment features, payments are processed by Stripe and subject to Stripe's terms. marshal may charge a service fee as disclosed in your group's plan. You are responsible for the accuracy of payment information and for amounts you authorize. Dues and fees collected by a group are governed by that group's own arrangements; emefa LLC is not a party to those arrangements except as the technical processor.
7. Calls and AI Features
marshal may offer voice and video calling and optional AI-assisted features (such as announcement drafting and, in the future, meeting transcription and summaries). AI features are provided on an "as is" basis; AI-generated output may contain errors and should be reviewed before being relied upon. Where AI processes your content, you will be informed, and AI-generated material will be identified as such.
8. Subscriptions and Plans
marshal offers free and paid plans with different feature limits. Paid plans are billed as described at the time of purchase. Feature availability, member caps, and storage limits depend on your group's plan. We may change plan features or pricing on reasonable notice.
9. Service Availability
We aim to keep marshal available and reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Features that depend on third-party providers (such as calling via LiveKit) may be unavailable during provider outages. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.
10. Termination
You may stop using marshal and delete your account at any time from your profile settings. We may suspend or terminate your access for violations of these Terms or to comply with law. Certain provisions (including ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, emefa LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use of marshal after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
