Terms of Service

Version and last updated: 2026-07-15

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using BidTorch (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

BidTorch helps residential trade contractors, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, windows, and siding teams, build estimates, determine likely permit requirements, and manage jobs.

3. Estimates and permit information are guidance

Permit determinations, fees, code citations, and estimates provided by the Service are guidance based on curated data and your inputs. They are not legal, engineering, or professional advice, and are not a permit or an assurance of any outcome. Requirements and fees change. You are responsible for confirming all requirements, fees, and code compliance directly with the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) before relying on them.

4. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter, for your licensing and compliance, for your pricing decisions, and for the work you perform for your customers.

5. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that curated permit data is complete, current, or error-free.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BidTorch is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for decisions made in reliance on Service outputs.

7. Changes and termination

We may update these Terms or the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. You may stop using the Service at any time.

8. Accounts, shared links, and acceptable use

Keep account credentials and customer-facing capability links confidential. You may not probe another organization, bypass access controls, upload malicious content, interfere with the Service, or use it unlawfully. You are responsible for promptly removing access for people who leave your organization and for the actions taken through your account.

9. Your data

You retain your rights in business and customer data you submit. You grant BidTorch permission to host, process, transmit, and display that data only as needed to provide, secure, and maintain the Service and to meet legal obligations. You must have the right to submit the data and share customer-facing documents with their recipients.
