We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these restrictions without notice or refund.

4. AI-Assisted Analysis — Assumption of Risk

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR AI-GENERATED RESULTS.

SteelFlo provides AI-assisted steel member detection and cost estimation for preliminary informational purposes only. AI Outputs are generated by automated systems and may contain significant errors, omissions, or inaccuracies including but not limited to:

AI Outputs are not a substitute for professional engineering judgment. All results must be independently reviewed and verified by a licensed professional engineer, estimator, or other qualified person before being used for any purpose including bidding, procurement, fabrication, erection, or construction. SteelFlo does not provide engineering, architectural, or construction advice and is not a licensed engineering firm.

By using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks associated with using AI-generated construction data. You agree that you will not rely on AI Outputs as the sole basis for any decision that could affect structural integrity, worker safety, project costs, or contractual obligations.

SteelFlo shall not be held liable for any loss, damage, injury, death, or claim of any kind arising directly or indirectly from reliance on AI Outputs, whether in whole or in part, including but not limited to construction defects, structural failures, cost overruns, project delays, personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death. This limitation applies regardless of whether SteelFlo was advised of the possibility of such damages.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Free Tier: Includes one (1) lifetime AI takeoff trial and unlimited manual estimates at no charge.

Paid Plans: Pro ($399/mo or $3,990/yr) and Business ($599/mo or $5,990/yr) plans provide unlimited AI takeoffs. We reserve the right to change pricing at any time with 30 days' advance notice. Price changes do not affect the current billing period.

Billing: Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis via Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on each billing date until you cancel.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time via the Subscription Management page or Stripe Customer Portal. Upon cancellation, you retain access until the end of your current paid billing period. No partial refunds or prorated credits are issued for unused time within a billing period.

Failed payments: If a payment fails, your subscription status becomes "past due." We will retry the charge per Stripe's dunning schedule. If payment is not resolved within the retry window, your subscription will be canceled automatically and access to paid features will be revoked immediately.

Refunds: We offer a full refund within 14 days of your first paid subscription if you are dissatisfied. After 14 days, all payments are final and non-refundable. Contact support@steelfloai.com for refund requests within the 14-day window.

6. Your Content and Data

You retain ownership of all Content you upload to SteelFlo. By uploading Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to process, store, transmit, and display your Content solely as necessary to provide the Service to you. This license terminates when you delete your Content or your account.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to upload your Content, and that your Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights, trade secrets, or contractual obligations. You are solely responsible for any claims arising from Content you upload.

Upon account deletion, we will delete your Content within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., billing records, fraud prevention).

7. Third-Party Services and AI Processing

To provide AI detection capabilities, your uploaded PDF drawings are processed by third-party AI providers including Google (Gemini). These providers process your data according to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers.

We do not use your Content to train AI models. Your drawings are processed on-demand and are not retained by AI providers beyond the immediate processing window.

The Service also relies on third-party infrastructure providers (Supabase, Vercel, Stripe) for hosting, data storage, and payment processing. Service availability depends on these providers, and we are not liable for outages or issues caused by third-party services.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, algorithms, AI pipelines, documentation, and branding, is the exclusive property of SteelFlo AI and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you only a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service for its intended purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9. Service Availability and Modifications

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free service. We may at any time and without prior notice: perform maintenance, deploy updates, modify features, change system requirements, or temporarily or permanently discontinue any part of the Service. We shall not be liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and reliability. We do not warrant that AI Outputs will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular use. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements or expectations.

11. Limitation of Liability

Our total cumulative liability for all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the total fees you paid to SteelFlo in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) five hundred U.S. dollars ($500).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that arbitration does not apply, any legal action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court or arbitrator, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and SteelFlo AI regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
