Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of Building Compliance OS (the "Service"), a product operated by Athlete Domains LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Building Compliance OS provides tools for tracking building emissions, calculating compliance with local building performance standards (such as New York City Local Law 97), generating compliance reports, and managing building portfolios. The features available to you depend on your subscription plan.

3. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, and you agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. You are responsible for the activity of any team members you invite to your organization.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation; (b) upload or submit data you do not have the right to use; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its underlying systems; (d) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service; (e) reverse engineer or copy any part of the Service except as permitted by law; or (f) resell, sublicense, or otherwise provide the Service to third parties without our written consent.

5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Trials

Paid plans are offered on a monthly or annual basis and are billed in advance through our payment processor, Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate until cancelled. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then. Where a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends. We may change pricing on a prospective basis with reasonable advance notice. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated; refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.

6. Data Accuracy and No Professional Advice

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data you enter into the Service. The calculations, estimates, and compliance assessments produced by the Service are provided for informational purposes only. They do not constitute legal, engineering, accounting, or other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for official filings or review by a qualified professional. You are solely responsible for verifying results and for any compliance submissions you make to a government authority.

7. Customer Data and Intellectual Property

As between you and us, you retain all rights to the data you submit to the Service ("Customer Data"). You grant us a limited license to host, process, and use Customer Data solely to provide and improve the Service and as described in our Privacy Policy. We and our licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the Service itself, including its software, design, and content. These Terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks or branding.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services, including Stripe for payment processing and the EPA ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager for energy data. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies, and we are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or conduct.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any calculation or report will be accurate or will satisfy any regulatory requirement.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any penalties, fines, lost profits, or losses arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service or any calculation or report it generates. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Athlete Domains LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your Customer Data, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or use the Service in a way that may cause harm to us or to others. You may delete your account at any time. Following account deletion, we will delete Customer Data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including those on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification, will survive.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the Service. Changes take effect when posted, and your continued use of the Service after that constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
