These are the same terms shown in the app when you create an account. This page exists so you can read them before signing up, and so you can find them again afterwards without logging in.
By creating an account or using BuildControl (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, you represent that you are authorized to bind it.
BuildControl is a software platform and communication tool for the construction and AEC industries. It is a neutral venue only. BuildControl is NOT a party to, and is not responsible for, any agreement, contract, engagement, bid, payment, employment, or transaction between users, and does not act as a contractor, employer, broker, escrow, insurer, or advisor.
The Service and any documents, templates, forms, contracts, change orders, lien waivers, tax summaries, or other outputs it generates are provided for convenience and general information only. They are NOT legal, financial, tax, accounting, insurance, engineering, or construction advice and are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your situation. You are solely responsible for reviewing them and should consult qualified licensed professionals. You use e-signatures, contracts, waivers, and handshakes at your own risk.
You are solely responsible for your content and conduct; for your own work, licensing, insurance, permits, safety, and legal and tax compliance; for verifying the identity, qualifications, and insurance of anyone you deal with; and for all decisions, agreements, payments, and disputes with other users. Amounts, hours, and figures you enter are your responsibility to confirm. You may not copy, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Service, scrape it or pull data from it in bulk by automated means except through the tools and connections BuildControl provides, or use it to build or benchmark a competing product.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. BuildControl does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any output is accurate or legally sufficient.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BuildControl and its owners, affiliates, and providers WILL NOT BE LIABLE for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, work, or business, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service — including any dispute, non-payment, defect, delay, injury, property damage, lost lien or bond rights, tax or filing error, or the acts or omissions of any other user — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. BuildControl’s total aggregate liability for any and all claims will not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to BuildControl in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, and nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by applicable law (such as for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence).
You knowingly assume all risks of using the Service and of your dealings with other users. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release BuildControl from all claims, demands, and damages arising out of or connected to those dealings and to your use of the Service.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BuildControl from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, your work, or your dealings with other users or third parties.
Any dispute between users — over scope, payment, quality, timing, insurance, employment, or anything else — is solely between those users. BuildControl has no obligation to mediate, arbitrate, or resolve it, and is not liable for the outcome. Handshakes, contracts, change orders, and e-signatures are tools you choose to use; they are not a guarantee of performance or payment.
BuildControl may suspend or terminate access at any time. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, release, and indemnification) survive termination.
BuildControl may update these Terms. Material changes will be presented for acceptance; continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
A company created on or after November 11, 2026 starts with a 30-day trial of Starter. Starting the trial requires a payment card, and nothing is charged during the trial. When the trial ends, the card is charged for Starter automatically and monthly after that, unless you cancel or change to Pro before the trial ends. We email a reminder five days before the trial ends, and you can cancel in one click in Settings. A company created before November 11, 2026 keeps the terms it signed up under: the first 30 days of every job it starts are free, and after a job’s first 30 days the job needs a paid plan; with no paid plan the job becomes read-only when its first 30 days end, and nothing is removed. People invited to another company’s jobs, and anyone using only finding work, hiring, messaging and a profile, need no paid plan and no payment method. The plans are Starter, for up to three active jobs at a time, and Pro, for any number, each a flat monthly price shown on the pricing page. On Starter, a fourth active job cannot be started until one is archived or the plan is changed. Paid plans are billed monthly in advance in US dollars and RENEW AUTOMATICALLY on the same day each month until you cancel. Prices exclude any tax that applies where you are. Payments are processed by Stripe; BuildControl does not receive or store your full card number. If BuildControl changes the price of a plan you are already on, you will be notified before the change takes effect and may cancel before it does.
You may cancel a paid plan at any time from within the Service, in no more steps than it took to subscribe. On cancellation you keep paid features through the end of the billing period you have already paid for, you are not billed again, and the account returns to having no paid plan. A trial cancelled before it ends is never charged. Cancelling deletes nothing: your projects, records, documents, and files stay in your account, remain readable, and remain exportable at any time. BuildControl will retain that data for at least twelve months after a cancellation, and will email you at least thirty days before removing anything. Resubscribing restores paid features to the account as it was — there is no re-import and no data migration. If you delete your account yourself, that is immediate and permanent and this retention period does not apply.
All fees are non-refundable, including partial months and time you did not use, and BuildControl does not pro-rate on cancellation — instead you keep the access you paid for until the period ends. BuildControl will refund charges made in error, including duplicate charges and charges taken after a valid cancellation. Where consumer law that applies to you grants a refund right this section does not, that law controls and nothing here removes it. The full policy is at buildcontrol.group/refunds.html.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, unless otherwise required by applicable law. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. This is a summary agreement provided for the parties’ use and is NOT legal advice; consult an attorney.
Billing and cancellation are covered in more detail in the billing, cancellation & refunds policy, which forms part of these terms. How we handle your data is described in the privacy policy.
