Terms of use

Last updated: November 10, 2026

What Deposit Back is

Deposit Back is self-help software operated by Vitalii Korotkov, trading as Next Lap Studio. You answer questions; the software places your answers into a fixed letter template, adds statute information from our reference table where we have it, and gives you a PDF. Not legal advice. We are not a law firm, nobody reviews your situation, and using the site does not create a professional-client relationship of any kind.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter, for checking the letter before you send it, and for deciding whether and how to send it. Statutes change and have exceptions. Where the letter cites a statute, check that it applies to your tenancy. Where the letter has a blank line for the law, fill it in yourself.

No promise of a result

A letter is a request. We cannot promise that your landlord will pay, or how a court or a deposit scheme would decide. The service is provided as is, without warranties to the extent the law allows.

Price and payment

A letter costs $19 where we have the statute for your jurisdiction on file and $12 for the general template. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries about payments and handles returns, and may add taxes that apply where you live. For questions about a charge, visit paddle.net.

Refunds

You can ask for a full refund within 14 days of purchase, for any reason. See the refund policy.

Delivery

After payment you get download links for the PDF on the page and at the e-mail address you gave. The links work for 7 days; then the files are deleted. We do not keep your answers or your photos after the PDF is made, so please save your copy.

Acceptable use

Use the letter only for a real tenancy of your own, with true information. Do not use the site to harass or threaten anyone, or to try to obtain the paid letter without paying.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim connected with the service is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. The service is operated by Vitalii Korotkov, trading as Next Lap Studio. Questions: hello@nextlapstudio.com.
