Terms of Service

1Agreement and authority

By clicking to accept these Terms, creating an account, or accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service for a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes both you and that organization. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If your organization has entered into an order form, master subscription agreement, data processing addendum, or other written agreement with Korus, that agreement will control to the extent of a direct conflict with these Terms.

2The Service and license

Korus Build is a business-to-business construction management platform that may provide project management, estimating, bid solicitation and comparison, scope analysis, contracting workflows, scheduling, document management, field reporting, and project communication tools.

Subject to these Terms and the applicable subscription agreement, Korus grants you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to access and use the Service during the applicable subscription term solely for your organization's internal business purposes.

We may improve, modify, or discontinue features from time to time. If a change materially reduces core paid functionality during an active subscription term, any remedy will be governed by the applicable subscription agreement or order form.

3Accounts and organization administration

You must provide accurate account information and keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials, using appropriate device security, and all activity performed through your account. Accounts may not be shared between individuals. Notify Korus promptly if you suspect unauthorized access or misuse.

An organization's authorized administrators may invite and remove users, assign roles, configure integrations, access organization content, and control user access. Your use of an organization workspace is subject to that organization's instructions and policies. The organization is responsible for its authorized users and for promptly disabling access when a user no longer requires it.

4Subscriptions, fees, and taxes

Subscription terms, fees, usage limits, payment schedules, renewal terms, and cancellation rights are stated in the applicable order form or subscription agreement. Unless that agreement states otherwise, fees are nonrefundable except where required by law. You are responsible for applicable sales, use, and similar taxes, excluding taxes based on Korus's net income.

We may suspend paid features for overdue undisputed amounts after providing any notice required by the applicable agreement. Free trials, beta access, promotional access, and usage credits may be changed or ended at any time unless a written agreement states otherwise.

5Acceptable use

You may not, and may not permit another person to:

• •use the Service in violation of law, regulation, court order, contractual restriction, or another person's rights;
• •send spam, deceptive, fraudulent, harassing, discriminatory, or unlawful communications;
• •upload malware, malicious code, or content intended to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to systems or data;
• •attempt to access another organization's workspace, credentials, systems, or data without authorization;
• •reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, copy, or attempt to discover the source code or underlying components of the Service, except to the limited extent a restriction is prohibited by law;
• •scrape, crawl, probe, test, overload, or interfere with the Service, or bypass security controls, access controls, sending limits, or usage restrictions;
• •use the Service to develop or train a competing product using Korus confidential information or nonpublic features;
• •resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties except as expressly authorized in writing; or
• •submit highly sensitive data, including Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, or protected health information, unless a specific Korus feature and written agreement expressly support that data.

You are responsible for ensuring that your communications comply with applicable email, privacy, marketing, and anti-spam laws. Korus may apply daily sending limits, rate limits, recipient restrictions, abuse detection, and other controls to protect users, providers, and the Service.

6Connected email accounts

The Service may allow you to connect an authorized Google Gmail or Microsoft Outlook account. By connecting an account, you authorize Korus to use the permissions displayed during the provider's authorization process for the features you enable, including sending project communications that you initiate and detecting replies associated with conversations sent through Korus.

For Microsoft Outlook, Korus uses Mail.Send to send user-initiated messages and Mail.Read to detect relevant replies. Korus does not request Mail.ReadWrite for this functionality. Korus limits its use of connected-email data as described in the Privacy Policy and does not use connected-email data for advertising.

You represent that you and your organization have authority to connect and use the account. Your use of Gmail and Outlook remains subject to the applicable provider's terms and administrative controls. Providers may restrict or revoke access, change their APIs, or impose usage limits, and Korus is not responsible for provider outages or account restrictions.

You may disconnect an integration at any time. Additional information about the permissions, processing, retention, and deletion of connected-email data appears in the Korus Build Privacy Policy.

7Customer Content

"Customer Content" means plans, specifications, bids, estimates, contracts, schedules, project records, photographs, messages, email-derived project records, contact information, and other information submitted to or created through the Service by you, your organization, or its authorized users.

As between the parties, you and your organization retain ownership of Customer Content. You grant Korus a worldwide, nonexclusive, limited license to host, copy, transmit, display, process, analyze, and create feature-specific outputs from Customer Content solely as reasonably necessary to provide, support, secure, and maintain the Service; comply with law; and perform obligations under the applicable agreement. This license includes processing by contracted service providers acting on Korus's behalf.

You represent that you have all rights, permissions, notices, and lawful bases necessary for Korus to process Customer Content and send communications as instructed. You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, quality, and appropriateness of Customer Content and for obtaining required consent from vendors, subcontractors, employees, owners, and other individuals.

Korus will not use Customer Content or connected-email data to train generalized artificial-intelligence models for use across unaffiliated customers unless your organization expressly agrees in writing. Korus may use aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably identify you, an individual, or your organization to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Service.

8AI-assisted and automated features

The Service may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, optical character recognition, and automated processing to extract, classify, compare, summarize, generate, or recommend information. Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable for a particular project or purpose.

AI-assisted outputs do not constitute architectural, engineering, legal, financial, insurance, safety, code-compliance, estimating, or other professional advice. You must independently review plans, specifications, quantities, scopes, exclusions, assumptions, bids, coverage analyses, estimates, contracts, schedules, daily reports, and other outputs before relying on, approving, distributing, or contracting based on them.

Korus does not guarantee scope completeness, bid coverage, pricing or quantity accuracy, constructability, code compliance, vendor qualifications, project safety, schedule performance, or project outcomes. Qualified personnel remain responsible for professional judgment, site verification, code review, safety procedures, and contractual due diligence.

9Communications, bids, and third-party relationships

Korus facilitates communications and workflows between organizations and third parties. Korus is not an architect, engineer, contractor, subcontractor, estimator, broker, insurer, attorney, employment agency, or party to any bid, subcontract, purchase order, construction contract, change order, or other agreement formed or managed through the Service.

You are solely responsible for evaluating vendors and counterparties; confirming licenses, insurance, qualifications, pricing, scope, and authority; and determining who may issue invitations, approve estimates, award work, execute agreements, or otherwise bind your organization. Unless the applicable parties expressly agree otherwise, a workflow label or action such as "accept," "award," "approve," or "move to construction" records a platform action and does not independently create a contract or verify authority.

Disputes between users, organizations, vendors, or other third parties are between those parties. Korus has no responsibility for third-party conduct, payment, performance, omissions, representations, or contractual obligations.

10Third-party services

The Service may interoperate with identity, email, e-signature, payment, mapping, cloud-storage, artificial-intelligence, and other third-party services. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Korus does not control and is not responsible for third-party services, content, security, availability, changes, or acts and omissions. Korus may suspend an integration if needed to protect the Service, comply with provider requirements, or address a security risk.

11Korus intellectual property and feedback

Korus and its licensors own the Service, software, user interface, documentation, workflows, models, technology, trademarks, logos, and all related intellectual-property rights, excluding Customer Content. No rights are granted except the limited right to use the Service expressly stated in these Terms.

If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback, you grant Korus a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and incorporate that feedback without restriction or compensation, provided Korus does not publicly identify you as the source without permission.

12Confidentiality

Each party may receive nonpublic information that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including Customer Content, bids, pricing, security information, product plans, and business information ("Confidential Information"). The receiving party will use Confidential Information only to perform or receive the Service and will protect it using at least reasonable care. It may disclose Confidential Information only to personnel, advisers, and service providers who need it and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Confidential Information does not include information that the receiving party can demonstrate was lawfully known without restriction, becomes public without breach, is received lawfully from another source without confidentiality duty, or is independently developed without using the other party's Confidential Information. A party may disclose information when legally required after providing notice when legally permitted.

13Security

Korus maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the Service and Customer Content. No transmission or storage system is completely secure, and Korus cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for configuring roles and integrations appropriately, protecting devices and credentials, maintaining backup or export practices appropriate to your business, and notifying Korus promptly of suspected unauthorized access.

14Beta and preview features

Beta, pilot, experimental, preview, or evaluation features may be incomplete, changed, suspended, or discontinued at any time. They may be provided without service-level commitments and should not be used as the sole basis for critical construction, safety, financial, or contractual decisions. Additional terms may apply to particular beta programs.

15Suspension and termination

Korus may suspend or restrict access if reasonably necessary to address a material breach, suspected fraud or abuse, a security risk, unlawful activity, nonpayment, provider restriction, or legal requirement. When practicable, Korus will provide notice and an opportunity to cure before suspension, except where immediate action is reasonably necessary.

You or your organization may terminate the Service as provided in the applicable subscription agreement. Upon termination, the right to use the Service ends. Data export, retention, and deletion are governed by the applicable agreement and Privacy Policy. You are responsible for exporting required records before access ends, subject to any agreed post-termination export period.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions concerning fees owed, intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, disputes, and general terms.

16Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all outputs are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Korus disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and results.

Korus does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components; that defects will be corrected; or that Customer Content or outputs will be accurate, complete, available, or suitable for a particular project. Information obtained through the Service does not replace independent review by qualified personnel.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

17Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you and your organization will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SE Builders, Inc., Korus, and their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from or relating to: (a) Customer Content; (b) your communications, bids, contracts, transactions, or relationships with third parties; (c) your use or misuse of the Service; or (d) your violation of these Terms, law, or another person's rights.

Korus will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and may participate with counsel of its choice. You may not settle a claim in a manner that admits fault by or imposes obligations on a Korus indemnified party without that party's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

18Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Korus and its affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages; loss of profits, revenue, business, data, goodwill, or use; costs of substitute services; or damages arising from construction delays, bid errors, scope gaps, vendor performance, or third-party contracts, even if advised that such damages were possible.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of Korus and its affiliates arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amounts paid or payable by your organization to Korus for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability; or (b) $100.

These limitations apply regardless of the form of action and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited. Your payment and indemnification obligations are not limited by this section.

19Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

20Changes to these Terms

Korus may update these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will state the effective date. Korus will provide advance notice of material changes through the Service, by email, or by another reasonable method. Unless a different period is stated, material changes become effective 30 days after notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to an update, you must stop using the Service and may exercise any termination rights available under the applicable subscription agreement.

21General terms

These Terms, together with incorporated policies and applicable written subscription documents, are the entire agreement concerning their subject matter. An order form or signed master agreement controls over these Terms in the event of conflict; these Terms control over the Privacy Policy for contractual matters, while the Privacy Policy controls descriptions of personal-information practices.

You may not assign these Terms without Korus's prior written consent. Korus may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. The parties are independent contractors, and these Terms create no partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship.

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except payment obligations. There are no third-party beneficiaries. Notices may be delivered electronically to the account or business contact on file, except that formal legal notices to Korus must be sent to the contact information below.
