End User Service Agreement
Last Updated: December 1, 2023
Welcome to CodeComply! The Platform (as defined below) is owned and operated by CodeComply.AI, Corp., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” or “our”). For purposes of this End User Service Agreement (these “Terms”), “Services” means, collectively: (i) our proprietary cloud-based software and artificial intelligence platform known as “CodeComply” (the “Platform”), including our AI Services (as defined below), which may assist you with evaluating construction plans’ compliance with applicable regulatory and/or industry codes or standards; and (ii) any email notifications or other mediums, or portions of such mediums, through which you have accessed these Terms.
We update these Terms from time to time. If you have an active subscription to the Platform, then we will use commercially reasonable efforts to let you know via a pop-up alerting you of the change prior to or while you are accessing your Platform account, or by email, in our discretion, except (1) when we launch a new service or feature, or (2) in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements. If you do not agree to any modification or other update, then your sole remedy will be to terminate the Agreement (and your use of the Services, including the Platform, as a result). Your continued use of the Services (including, without limitation the Platform) following any change to these Terms is and will be deemed to be acceptance of all changes.
Please read these Terms carefully. These Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any Order Form executed or assented to by you, whether electronically, in paper form, or otherwise (“Order Form”) collectively constitute the “Agreement”. You accept the Agreement by executing or assenting to the Order Form (when this option is made available to you), through use of our Services, or by continuing to use our Services after being notified of a change to these Terms.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALL CLAIMS AND DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY. THESE TERMS ALSO ALLOW YOU TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS PART OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. AS A RESULT, YOU MAY SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
WE MAY IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, IF WE BELIEVE YOUR USE OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES WILL REFLECT POORLY ON US, OUR SERVICES OR OUR GOODWILL, OR IF WE OTHERWISE DEEM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES TO BE ILLEGAL OR OTHERWISE INAPPROPRIATE, IN EACH CASE, IN OUR SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION.
THE INDIVIDUAL ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT FOR A BUSINESS ENTITY AFFIRMS THAT HE OR SHE HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE BUSINESS ENTITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON ITS BEHALF.
If there is any conflict between these Terms and an Order Form, the provisions of these Terms shall control.
If you have entered into a separate written agreement for the Services with us (an “Existing Agreement”), then these Terms only apply to you to the extent that they do not conflict with that Existing Agreement or to the extent that these Terms cover subject matter outside the scope of that Existing Agreement. If you have not entered into an Existing Agreement with us, then these Terms apply to you in their entirety.

Our Remedies
You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if the Agreement is not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy.

You agree that (notwithstanding Section 15 below) we may bring any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach in any state or federal court located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. You consent to personal jurisdiction over you by such court and to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court.
Disputes: Arbitration Agreement, and Class Action Waiver
*Please read this section carefully. Except as the Agreement otherwise provides, you waive your rights to try any claim in court before a judge or jury and to bring or participate in any class, collective, or other representative action.
- Agreement to Binding Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our products or services and upon which you rely. You may seek to resolve any customer concerns through our support services at team@codecomply.ai or send the written description by U.S. Mail to 5959 Waterford District Drive, Suite 200, Miami FL, 33126. You agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 30 days after our receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.
By agreeing to the Agreement, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against us or the Services on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Section. You and we agree that any disputes between us (including any disputes between you and a third-party agent of us) will be resolved through binding and final arbitration and not in a court. This includes, but is not limited to: (i) any dispute, claims, or controversy arising out of or relating to any part of the Agreement, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof; or (ii) your access to or use of the Services, including the Platform or our other services or products at any time. Such dispute shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for individual arbitration in Miami-Dade County, Florida and shall be before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules and Procedures, only as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.
You and we agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the terms of this Agreement are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
By agreeing to individual arbitration, you understand and agree that you are waiving your right to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle any disputes or claims. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury. Although review is limited, an Arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as would be available in court, and must enforce the same limitations stated in this Agreement as a court would. - No Class Action. You and we each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and we each agree to arbitrate in our individual capacities only, not as a representative of a class, a member of a class, or a Private Attorney General. Likewise, an Arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding
- Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_1.pdf. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA") will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. - Arbitration Process. You can begin the arbitration by submitting a Demand for Arbitration, which is a statement containing basic information about the dispute: (a) the names, addresses and phone numbers of the parties involved (you and us, in most cases); (b) a description of the dispute; and (c) a short statement of the relief you are seeking. The AAA provides a Demand for Arbitration form on its website, or you may contact the AAA at 800-778-7879. Complete the Demand for Arbitration and make at least four (4) copies. Keep one copy for your records. Send one copy to us by certified mail at Notice of Dispute, Address: [ADDRESS].
Send the final two copies of the Demand for Arbitration to the AAA. Please be sure to include: (1) a copy of this arbitration provision (you may obtain a copy from this Agreement); and (2) the appropriate AAA filing fee. You may obtain the amount of the fee by consulting the AAA’s rules. Those rules may be obtained by visiting the Consumer section on the AAA’s website, or by calling the AAA at 800.778.7879.
Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, in the event that any provision of this Section is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the Arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Miami-Dade County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. - Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The Arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law.
Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties.
Judgment on any award rendered by the Arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive on you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
With the exception of disclosures to affiliates and legal counsel, all negotiations and arbitration proceedings related to a dispute (including a settlement, award, or the documents and briefs exchanged or produced during arbitration) are confidential and may not be disclosed by the parties except to the extent necessary for interim measures or conservatory relief, the enforcement of an arbitration award, or as required by law. - Fees. Payment of all filing, administration and Arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable consumer rules. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the Arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith. In addition, the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply and be enforced by the Arbitrator.
Miscellaneous
- Waiver and Amendment. No delay or omission by us to exercise any right or power under the Agreement will impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof. A waiver by us in any one instance of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by you will not be construed as a waiver with respect to any succeeding instance in which the same provision may apply. We update these Terms from time to time. If you have an active subscription to the Platform, then we will use commercially reasonable efforts to let you know via a pop-up alerting you of the change prior to or while you are accessing your Platform account, or by email, in our discretion, except (a) when we launch a new service or feature, or (b) in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements. If you do not agree to any modification or other update, then your sole remedy will be to terminate the Agreement (and your use of the Services as a result). Your continued use of the Services (including, without limitation the Platform) following any change to these Terms is and will be deemed to be acceptance of all changes.
- Assignment. Neither party may assign, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise without the other party’s prior written consent; except that: (a) we may assign, or otherwise transfer this Agreement without such consent in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization, or any sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other transaction in which more than fifty percent (50%) of our voting securities are transferred (“Change in Control”).Any attempt to assign, or otherwise transfer this Agreement other than in accordance with this provision will be null and void.
- Compliance with Laws. You will comply with all applicable L a w s , including all applicable export and import laws and regulations in connection with your performance, access, and/or use of the Services under this Agreement. You will comply with all legal duties applicable to you. Specifically, you will provide relevant persons and/or participants with all information you are required by law to provide, and, if necessary, shall obtain the consent of these persons. The Services and derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. You will not permit your Authorized Users to access or use the Services in a U.S.- embargoed country (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or Crimea) or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation. You acknowledge and agree that the Services (including, without limitation, the Platform) do not guaranty your compliance with applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Laws relating to privacy of consumer information, and that your compliance with applicable Laws is ultimately your sole and exclusive responsibility. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that we do not and will not provide any legal or technical advice, and that any feedback, content, output or materials provided by us or the Services (including, without limitation, the Platform) as part of or in connection with the Services (including, without limitation, the Platform) (including any support thereof) do not constitute legal or other professional advice, and that you are solely responsible for determining the legality, validity and enforceability of all of your Customer Content, your use of the Services (including, without limitation, the Platform), your services, and the accuracy, accessibility, safety and reliability of any language contained within all of your Customer Content and/or your services.
- Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any claim, action, arbitration or judicial proceeding arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in resolving such claim, action, arbitration or judicial proceeding.
- Notices. All notices, demands, requests or other communications which may be or are required to be given, served, or sent by a party to the other party pursuant to the Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered electronically to the email addresses set forth below. Either party may change its email address for notice by notifying the other parties of such change in accordance with this Section. If to You: to the email address set forth on the Order Form. If to Us: to the email address set forth on the Order Form, marked to the Attention of “Legal Notice,” and in all cases, with copy (but which will not constitute notice) to legal@codecomply.ai.
- Independent Contractors. The relationship of the parties is that of independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to make either party an agent, partner, joint venturer, or representative of the other for any purpose. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy under or by reason of this Agreement.
- Force Majeure. Except for a party’s obligations to pay fees hereunder, each party will be excused from performance of its obligations for any period and the time of performance will be extended as reasonably necessary under the circumstances, to the extent that such party is prevented from performing, in whole or in part, its obligations under the Agreement, as a result of acts of God, any governmental authority, war, pandemic, epidemic, health crisis, government order or lockdown, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute or any other cause beyond its reasonable control, including, in our case, Third Party Service malfunctions (such as interruption of Third Party Service services or functions) hurricanes, inclement weather, and failures or fluctuations in electrical power, heat, light, telecommunication equipment or lines or any other equipment or network outside of our reasonable control.
- Entire Agreement and Survival. If any provision of the Agreement is found by any court, arbiter, or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. The Agreement (including the Order Form) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other negotiations, understandings, and representations (if any) made by and between such parties, whether orally or in writing. All sections of the Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
- Interpretation. The headings contained in the Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of the Agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way its meaning or interpretation. For purposes of these Terms, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the word “or” is not exclusive.
- Counterparts. The Order Form may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Confirmation of execution by electronic transmission signature page or other electronic execution means will be binding, and each party irrevocably waives any objection that it has or may have in the future as to the validity of any such electronic execution.
