Terms of Service

1. About IDCReady

IDCReady is an AI-assisted engineering drawing compliance tool operated by 1392081 Alberta Ltd (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a company incorporated in Alberta, Canada. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the IDCReady platform, including all related APIs, reports, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Important Disclaimer — Not Professional Engineering Advice

IDCReady is a decision-support tool only. Reports generated by the Service are produced by artificial intelligence and are intended to assist qualified engineering professionals in identifying potential compliance issues. They do not constitute professional engineering advice, a formal engineering review, or a regulatory compliance determination.

IDCReady reports must be reviewed and validated by a licensed professional engineer before being relied upon for any engineering, regulatory, or construction purpose. We do not warrant that any report is complete, accurate, or free from error. You remain solely responsible for all engineering decisions, submissions to regulators, and any reliance placed on the Service’s output.

No report generated by IDCReady should be used as a substitute for independent professional judgment, a formal IDC review, or any review required by law or regulation.

3. Accounts and Credits

Access to the Service requires a registered account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

The Service operates on a credit model. Each compliance check consumes one (1) credit. Credits are purchased in advance and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Credits do not expire. We reserve the right to modify pricing with reasonable notice.

New accounts may receive one (1) complimentary credit upon registration. Complimentary credits are issued at our discretion and may be withdrawn or modified at any time.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise provide access to the Service to third parties without our written consent;
• Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to upload drawings, generate reports, or extract data from the Service at scale;
• Use outputs from the Service to train, fine-tune, or benchmark any artificial intelligence or machine learning model;
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or discover the source code, prompts, or compliance logic underlying the Service;
• Upload drawings or other materials that you do not have the right to share, or that contain third-party confidential information without authorization;
• Use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law, regulation, or the rights of any third party.

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of all drawings and files you upload to the Service (“Your Content”). By uploading Your Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process and analyze it solely for the purpose of delivering the Service to you.

We do not use Your Content to train AI models or share it with third parties except as necessary to operate the Service (for example, transmitting drawings to our AI processing infrastructure). See our Privacy Policy for details.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to upload Your Content and that doing so does not violate any confidentiality obligation, intellectual property right, or applicable law.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all underlying software, AI models, compliance logic, code databases, prompts, and user interface elements, is owned by 1392081 Alberta Ltd and protected by copyright, trade secret, and other applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in the Service other than the limited right to use it as described herein.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to damages arising from reliance on a compliance report, regulatory penalties, construction errors, or loss of data.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100).

8. Warranty Disclaimer

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind. We expressly disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any report will be complete or accurate.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason with reasonable notice. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. Unused credits at the time of termination are non-refundable unless otherwise required by law.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Calgary, Alberta.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice in the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
