Terms of Service

1. Who can use VoltBid

VoltBid is for licensed trade professionals. To use it you must be at least 18 years old, hold any license your jurisdiction requires for the electrical work you bid, and have the authority to bind the business you register.

If you use VoltBid for a company, "you" includes that company, and you confirm you can accept these Terms for it.

2. Your account

Keep your login private and your contact details current. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us right away at support@voltbid.app if you think someone else has access.

One account per person. You may not share an account or transfer it without our permission.

3. Subscription, trial and billing

Every new account gets a free 30-day trial with full access. You do not need a card to start it, and nothing is charged during it.

When the trial ends, you need a paid plan to create and send new work. Your data stays in your account and you can still view it.

If you choose a plan during your trial, your card is not charged until the trial ends. If you cancel before then, you are not charged.

Subscriptions are billed in advance through Stripe for the plan and period you pick. Prices are shown at checkout before you confirm. We can change prices with at least 30 days notice, and the change applies at your next renewal. You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your purchase.

You can cancel at any time from Billing. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for. We do not give refunds or credits for partial periods, except where the law requires.

If a payment fails, we may retry it and limit your access until it goes through. Your data stays in your account.

Subscriptions are purchased on the web at voltbid.app. The mobile apps use the same account.

4. Acceptable use

Use VoltBid only for your legitimate business. Do not:

• Break the law, or bid work you are not licensed to perform.
• Upload content that infringes someone else's rights or that you have no right to use.
• Try to access other users' data, probe or disrupt our systems, or get around usage limits.
• Scrape, copy or resell the app, its pricing data or its AI output as a competing product.
• Use VoltBid to send spam or unlawful messages to anyone.
• Reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.

5. Your data and your bids

You own the data you put into VoltBid, including your customers' information, photos, estimates, proposals and invoices. You give us permission to store, process and transmit it as needed to run the service for you, including sending it to the providers listed in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for your bids. VoltBid is a tool that helps you work faster. It does not know your site conditions, your supplier pricing or your local amendments. You must check every estimate, materials list, price, code reference and permit note before you send it to a customer or rely on it.

You alone are responsible for complying with the National Electrical Code, state and local codes, permit and inspection rules, and the decisions of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Your license and professional judgment are not replaced by this app.

6. AI features

Estimates, proposal text, materials lists, code alerts and Volt AI answers are generated by artificial intelligence. They can be wrong, out of date or incomplete. They are not legal, engineering or professional advice. Review AI output before you use it, and treat it as a draft, not a decision.

You are responsible for what you enter into AI features. Do not enter information you do not have the right to share.

7. Electronic signatures

VoltBid lets your customers sign proposals electronically. You decide whether an electronic signature is appropriate for a given contract, what terms you put in front of your customer, and how to keep any records your jurisdiction requires.

When a customer signs, we record their name and email, the signature, the date and time, and the IP address and browser used to sign, and attach them to the signed document as evidence. The agreement a customer signs is between you and that customer. VoltBid LLC is not a party to it.

8. Our intellectual property

VoltBid, its design, software, pricing database, templates and trademarks belong to VoltBid LLC or our licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app for your business while your account is in good standing. Nothing in these Terms gives you ownership of the app or the right to use our name or logo without permission.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without owing you anything.

9. Termination

You can delete your account at any time from Account settings. We can suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, do not pay, or if we must in order to protect the service or comply with the law. Where practical we will warn you first.

After you delete your account, you have 60 days to restore it. After that your data is permanently deleted as described in the Privacy Policy. Parts of these Terms that by their nature should survive, such as ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law, continue after termination.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

VoltBid is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, VoltBid LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that the app will be error-free or available at all times, that AI output will be correct, or that pricing or code references will match your jurisdiction or your supplier.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, VoltBid LLC and its members, managers and employees are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost business, lost data or the cost of substitute services, arising from your use of VoltBid, even if we were told they were possible.

Our total liability for any claim related to VoltBid is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Some states do not allow some of these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You will defend and hold harmless VoltBid LLC from claims, damages and costs, including reasonable attorney fees, that arise from your electrical work, your bids and contracts with your customers, your content, or your breach of these Terms.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in El Paso County, Colorado, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Before filing a claim, email support@voltbid.app and give us 30 days to work it out with you.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The effective date at the top shows when they last changed. For material changes we will notify you in the app or by email, and we may ask you to accept the new Terms before you continue. Using VoltBid after a change means you accept it.

15. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about VoltBid. If a part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a right, we have not waived it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them to a successor of the business.
