Before this is live for real customers: replace every [bracketed] placeholder with your actual business details and pricing, and have a solicitor review this - this is a solid starting draft matching exactly what BuildPack does today, not a substitute for legal advice.
These terms are between you and [Your Business Name] ("we", "us", "our"), of [Your Business Address], contactable at [Contact Email]. By creating an account or using BuildPack, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy.
BuildPack is a tool for construction contractors to record and organise project information - specifications, subcontractors, inspections, documents, and photos - and produce a handover pack for their client. It's a record-keeping and documentation tool, not a certification, compliance, or legal advice service. Using BuildPack doesn't substitute for your own professional obligations, building regulations compliance, or insurance requirements.
Everything you enter into BuildPack - project details, client information, photos, documents - stays yours. We don't claim ownership of it, and we only use it to provide the service back to you.
Because a lot of what you enter is personal data about other people (your clients, subcontractors, inspectors), you're responsible for having the right to collect and store it - typically covered by your own contract with your client - and for handling any request from them to access, correct, or delete their information. See the "Two Different Roles We Play" section of our Privacy Policy for how this works.
BuildPack lets you generate links that let a subcontractor, inspector, or client access limited information without an account. You're responsible for sending these only to the intended recipient and for revoking them when they're no longer needed - we don't verify who actually opens a link.
You agree not to:
We aim to keep BuildPack available and reliable, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted access. The service is provided "as is" - we're not liable for data loss, downtime, or errors, though we take reasonable steps to prevent them (including keeping backups and monitoring for problems). Export your data regularly if it's business-critical.
[BuildPack is currently free to use / describe your actual pricing here once you have a plan in place.] If we introduce paid plans, we'll give existing users clear notice before anything currently free starts being charged for.
You can delete your account at any time from Account Settings, which permanently removes your account and the personal projects you own. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, with notice where reasonably possible.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud, or anything else that can't lawfully be limited. Beyond that, our liability to you for any claim relating to BuildPack is limited to [the amount you've paid us in the 12 months before the claim / a fixed cap - set this once you have a pricing model].
If we make a material change, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you directly. Continuing to use BuildPack after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
