Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and John T. Weaver III, operating as BuildaDraft (“BuildaDraft,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the BuildaDraft platform located at https://buildadraft.com and any related software, services, and content (collectively, the “Service”).

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

BuildaDraft is a cloud-based construction planning platform that provides guided workflows for creating Build Plans — including material take-offs, cost estimates, material lists, buy lists, and project documentation — for residential and light commercial construction projects such as sheds, garages, barns, workshops, decks, and similar structures.

The Service generates algorithmic estimates and planning outputs based on user-provided inputs and BuildaDraft’s proprietary pricing databases. These outputs are planning tools intended to help you organize and budget construction projects. They are not professional construction, engineering, architectural, or financial advice.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or make a purchase. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under 18, you may not use the Service.

The Service is intended for users located in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available outside the United States.

To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information at registration and to keep your account information updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@buildadraft.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts that violate these Terms, contain inaccurate information, or have been inactive for an extended period.

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe’s Terms of Service. BuildaDraft does not store your full credit card number or banking information.

All prices are stated in United States Dollars (USD). You are responsible for any applicable taxes, including sales tax, use tax, or VAT. We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable advance notice. Price changes will not affect current subscription periods already paid.

For recurring subscriptions, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a monthly basis until you cancel. If a payment fails, we may retry the charge or suspend your access to paid features until payment is resolved.

Please review our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The following is a summary:

• Build Pass / Build Pack: Full refunds may be requested within 48 hours of purchase, provided the associated Build Plan has not been accessed (downloaded or revised) after the purchase. No refunds are issued after 48 hours or after access. Credits from a partially refunded Build Pack that have already been consumed are not refundable.
• Pro Subscription: You may cancel at any time. Cancellation stops future billing; there are no partial-month refunds for the current billing period.

Refund requests must be submitted to support@buildadraft.com with your order information. All refund decisions are at BuildaDraft’s sole discretion.

You retain ownership of the content you create through the Service, including project descriptions, specifications, notes, and other inputs you provide (“User Content”).

By using the Service, you grant BuildaDraft a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, and transmit your User Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service. We do not sell your User Content to third parties.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit your User Content, and that your User Content does not violate any law or the rights of any third party.

The Service, including its software, algorithms, pricing databases, design, text, graphics, and other content (excluding User Content), is owned by or licensed to BuildaDraft and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws.

Your purchase of a Build Pass, Build Pack, or subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or commercially exploit any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

BuildaDraft™ and related marks are trademarks of John T. Weaver III. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written permission.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any regulations;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its systems;
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Service without written permission;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service or its algorithms;
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service or its outputs;
• Use BuildaDraft estimates or outputs as professional bid documents, permit applications, or structural safety determinations without independent verification by a licensed professional;
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service;
• Transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code.

IMPORTANT: BuildaDraft provides computational planning tools, not professional construction, engineering, architectural, or contracting services.

All estimates, material lists, cost projections, build steps, and other outputs generated by BuildaDraft are algorithmic approximations based on general pricing data, regional cost factors, and user-provided inputs. These outputs:

• Are not prepared by or reviewed by a licensed general contractor, structural engineer, architect, or other construction professional;
• May not reflect current local material prices, labor rates, permit fees, code requirements, or site-specific conditions;
• Should not be used as the sole basis for construction contracts, permit applications, structural or safety determinations, or professional bids;
• May vary materially from actual project costs due to local conditions, contractor pricing, inflation, supply chain factors, and scope changes.

Before commencing any construction project, you should consult qualified licensed professionals (contractors, engineers, architects, building inspectors) as appropriate for your jurisdiction and project type. BuildaDraft is not responsible for construction decisions made based on its outputs.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BUILDADRAFT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; (b) any defects will be corrected; (c) the Service or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components; or (d) the results obtained from using the Service will be accurate, complete, or reliable.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BUILDADRAFT, ITS OWNER, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO BUILDADRAFT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).

You acknowledge that the limitations of liability in this section are a fundamental element of the basis of the agreement between you and BuildaDraft, and that BuildaDraft would not offer the Service without these limitations.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BuildaDraft and its owner, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any rights of a third party.

You acknowledge that the Service is currently in beta and may contain bugs, errors, incomplete features, or security vulnerabilities. Features may be added, removed, or changed at any time. BuildaDraft is not liable for any loss or damage caused by limitations or deficiencies of the beta Service.

By providing feedback about the Service, you grant BuildaDraft a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback to improve the Service without any obligation to compensate you.

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to contact us at support@buildadraft.com and attempt to resolve the matter informally for at least thirty (30) days.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at support@buildadraft.com. Closing your account does not entitle you to a refund except as set forth in our Refund Policy.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16) will survive.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by displaying a prominent notice on the Service before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
