The short version: TCA Plus is an unofficial reference to Tennessee law — always verify against the official text before acting on it. A subscription is a license for one person. Billing happens through Apple and Google. Owners of the original paid app keep lifetime access to the current Tennessee Code. Don't scrape the service or share your login.
1. Who we are
TCA Plus is operated by Mostly Harmless Development, LLC ("we", "us"). By creating an account, subscribing, or using the app or web app, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you get the app through Apple's App Store or Google Play, their terms also apply to the download and to billing.
2. What TCA Plus is — and is not
TCA Plus provides an unofficial reproduction of public legal materials — the Tennessee Code Annotated, the Tennessee and U.S. Constitutions, court rules, and similar reference material — organized for fast reference.
- The official text controls. Statutes and rules in this app may lag amendments, corrections, or renumbering. Before relying on a provision — in an arrest, a filing, a ruling, or anywhere else — verify it against the official publication of the State of Tennessee.
- No legal advice. Nothing in the app is legal advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship with anyone.
- Content changes. We load new editions as the law changes and may add, correct, or restructure content at any time.
3. Your account
You must be at least 13 to use TCA Plus. Keep your sign-in credentials accurate and secure; you are responsible for activity on your account. You can delete your account at any time in the app or as described on the account deletion page.
4. Individual license
A subscription (and a legacy lifetime grant) licenses one person — you — to use TCA Plus on your own devices. It is personal and non-transferable. Sharing credentials so that multiple people use one account — for example, a firm, department, or agency circulating a single login — is a violation of these terms. We may enforce this technically (limits on concurrent sessions) and, for persistent abuse, by suspending the account. If your organization wants access for multiple people, contact us — we're happy to talk about team licensing.
5. Subscriptions and billing
- Paid access is an auto-renewing annual subscription purchased through Apple's App Store or Google Play. Billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are handled by the store under its terms; we never see your payment details. Cancel any time in your store account settings — access continues to the end of the paid period.
- Prices may change; the store will present the current price before any renewal at a new price.
- Web access and subscriber-only content are features of an active subscription and end when it lapses. Free-tier content remains available.
6. Legacy lifetime access
If you bought the original paid TCA Plus app, you keep lifetime access to the current edition of the Tennessee Code — free, forever — once your access is verified or claimed in the app. This grant is personal, non-transferable, and covers the current edition of the base state code; historical editions, additional reference corpora, and web access are subscription features. We may revoke a grant only where it was obtained by fraud or is being abused (for example, shared as a group login).
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- systematically scrape, bulk-download, or harvest content from the service, or resell or redistribute the service or your access to it;
- circumvent access controls, probe or overload the service, or interfere with other users;
- submit fraudulent legacy claims or otherwise misrepresent your entitlement.
To be clear: the text of statutes, constitutions, and court rules is the public's — edicts of government are not ours to own, and nothing here claims otherwise. What these terms restrict is extraction from and abuse of our service: the compiled database, search, apps, and infrastructure we operate.
8. Our property
The TCA Plus apps, design, branding, compilation, and software are ours (or our licensors') and are protected by law. These terms give you a license to use the service, not ownership of any part of it.
9. Disclaimers and limits on liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENTNESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 2, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON CONTENT IN THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, AND WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Termination
You may stop using the service or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, after notice where practical. Sections 8 and 9 survive termination.
11. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms materially, we will post the new version here with an updated effective date and give notice in the app or by email before the changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that ends up in court belongs exclusively to the state or federal courts sitting in Tennessee, and both sides consent to their jurisdiction.
