Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the CurbMark website and renovation cost estimator tool (the "Service"), operated by CurbMark ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What CurbMark is

CurbMark provides an informational tool that generates estimated renovation cost ranges based on general national and regional cost data, the project details you enter, and publicly available cost guides. CurbMark is not a contractor, is not a licensed professional (engineer, architect, home inspector, or contractor), and does not perform, supervise, or guarantee any construction, renovation, or repair work.

CurbMark is not a "home improvement contractor" as defined under Connecticut's Home Improvement Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-418 et seq.) or any similar law in another state, and nothing about your use of the Service creates a home improvement contract between you and CurbMark.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.

3. Estimates are informational only — no warranty or guarantee

ESTIMATES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE ARE FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THEY ARE NOT QUOTES, BIDS, APPRAISALS, OR GUARANTEES OF ACTUAL COST. Actual renovation costs depend on factors the Service cannot fully account for, including but not limited to: the specific contractor you hire, local permitting requirements, site conditions, material availability and price fluctuations, structural or code issues discovered during work, labor market conditions, and your specific material and design choices.

You should always obtain a written quote from one or more licensed, insured contractors before making any financial, purchase, renovation, or real estate decision. CurbMark is not a substitute for professional advice from a contractor, engineer, architect, real estate professional, financial advisor, or attorney, and nothing in the Service creates a professional relationship between you and CurbMark.

ESTIMATES ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED BY A CONTRACTOR, OR ANY OTHER PARTY, TO SET, NEGOTIATE, OR JUSTIFY THE PRICE OF ACTUAL WORK. They are a ballpark planning tool for the person requesting the estimate, not a substitute for competitive bidding. If a contractor cites a CurbMark estimate when pricing a job, get at least one additional independent, written bid before agreeing to any amount.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of any estimate, range, or other information provided by the Service, whether express or implied.

By using the Service and relying on any estimate it produces, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk associated with that reliance. You agree that you have not relied, and will not rely, on any statement, representation, or estimate from CurbMark as a substitute for independent professional verification before making a financial, renovation, or real estate decision.

4. Affiliate links and compensation

Some links in the Service (for example, "shop for materials" links) are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, CurbMark may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Inclusion of a product, retailer, or link is not an endorsement of its quality, price, or fitness for your project, and we are not responsible for the products, pricing, or practices of any third-party retailer.

5. Waitlist and future paid tiers

Joining the Plus or Pro waitlist does not create a contract, subscription, or obligation to purchase, and does not guarantee availability, pricing, feature set, or a specific launch date. Pricing and features described on the site for Plus and Pro are subject to change before launch. If and when paid subscriptions become available, separate terms governing billing, cancellation, and refunds will apply and will be presented to you before you pay.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems.
• Scrape, data-mine, or systematically extract data from the Service without our written permission.
• Misrepresent estimates generated by the Service as formal quotes, appraisals, or guarantees to a third party (for example, a client, buyer, or contractor), or use them to set, negotiate, or justify the price of actual work, without disclosing that they are informational estimates only.
• Use automated means to submit waitlist signups or otherwise abuse the Service.

If you are a real estate agent, broker, or other licensed professional, you are solely responsible for complying with your own MLS rules, licensing requirements, and professional or ethical obligations when sharing a CurbMark estimate with a client, buyer, or any other party.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and underlying code, is owned by CurbMark or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may use the Service for your own personal or business informational purposes, but you may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service itself without our written permission.

8. Third-party links

The Service may link to third-party websites we don't control (including affiliate and shopping links). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site, and linking to it does not imply our endorsement.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CURBMARK AND ITS OWNER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON AN ESTIMATE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50), OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in providing the Service caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet or utility outages, or failures of third-party hosting, payment, or infrastructure providers we rely on.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CurbMark and its owner from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service (including removing you from a waitlist) at any time, for any reason, including if we believe you've violated these Terms.

14. Dispute resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at hello@curbmark.app and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally. If we can't resolve it informally, any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Connecticut, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. You and CurbMark each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action related to the Service, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. We'll update the "Last updated" date above, and continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

17. Accessibility

We're committed to making the Service usable by as many people as possible and work on an ongoing basis to improve accessibility. If you experience difficulty accessing any part of the Service, contact us at hello@curbmark.app and we'll work with you to provide the information or service you need.

18. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, make up the entire agreement between you and CurbMark regarding the Service.
