Terms of Service

Welcome to Compliarch ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website at compliarch.com and our AI-powered building code and regulation lookup platform (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

1. Important Disclaimers Regarding Information Provided

1.1 AI-Generated Content

The Service uses artificial intelligence and automated systems to retrieve and present building code and regulatory information. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or outdated information. Building codes, regulations, and standards change frequently and may have been updated, amended, or repealed since the information was last retrieved or generated by our systems.

You acknowledge and agree that AI-generated content is inherently imperfect and should never be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision related to construction, design, permitting, compliance, or any other professional activity.

1.2 Assumption of Risk

By using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks associated with relying on information provided through the Service. You understand that building code violations can result in fines, construction delays, structural failures, safety hazards, personal injury, or death. You agree that you bear sole responsibility for independently verifying all information and for any decisions, actions, or outcomes resulting from your use of the Service.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

10. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware.

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Class Action Waiver: You agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your individual capacity only and not as a class action or other representative proceeding. You expressly waive your right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.

Exception: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

11. Modifications to Terms

If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any changes taking effect, by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
