4. TAKEOFF AND ESTIMATING SERVICE
Builder Bid provides takeoff and estimating services, which are designed to assist users in the preliminary evaluation and analysis of costs associated with specific projects. These services include, but are not limited to estimation of material costs, labor costs, and other related projects costs and expenses.
In order to perform the takeoff and estimating, the user must provide detailed and accurate information about the project. Builder Bid is not responsible for errors or inaccuracies in estimates resulting from incomplete or incorrect information provided by the user.
The estimates provided are approximate and are based on data and information supplied by the user, as well as market conditions and prices at the time of the estimate. These estimates should not be considered as a definitive cost analysis nor as a guarantee of prices or availability of resources.
The user is responsible for the interpretation and use of the estimates provided. Any decisions made based on these estimates are the sole responsibility of the user. Builder Bid recommends that the estimates be used as an initial guide and be supplemented with professional advice and detailed analysis for decision making.
Builder Bid shall not be liable for any losses, damages, costs or expenses incurred as a result of decisions made based on the takeoff and estimating services. In addition, Builder Bid disclaims liability for variations in market prices or changes in conditions that may affect the accuracy of estimates after they are made.
Builder Bid reserves the right to modify or improve takeoff and estimating services at any time, with the objective of maintaining the quality and accuracy of the services. These modifications will be adequately communicated to users.
5. INTEGRATION WITH 1BUILD
By using our platform, the user accesses integration with the construction cost database provided by 1build, which offers localized pricing for a wide range of items in every county or region of the United States. This integration is designed to provide users with cost and price estimates based on data collected from a variety of sources.
It is important to note that Builder Bid assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of construction cost data obtained through the 1build API or its database. The prices and estimates provided are generated based on information provided by third parties and should be considered as indicative. While this data is provided in good faith and is intended to be a useful tool for making preliminary decisions, users should not rely solely on it for final decisions on actual pricing.
Users should be aware that market conditions, availability of materials and other factors may influence actual construction costs, and that these may vary significantly from the estimates provided. Therefore, we recommend that estimates obtained through our software be used as a starting point and be supplemented with additional research, professional consultation and detailed analysis of the specific project.
Builder Bid is not responsible for any loss, damage or harm that may arise from the use of these estimates, nor does it guarantee the feasibility or accuracy of projects based on such data. It is the user’s responsibility to verify and adjust costs according to the specific needs and realities of their project.
6. Plans
Plans can be paid through Stripe (payment processor available on the platform). The plan payment will be charged to your credit/debit card immediately after completing the plan payment and registration process. The plan will be activated upon completion of the payment and registration process and will be charged on each billing date automatically. Once the transaction is processed, we will send an electronic receipt to the user’s email address.
If you find any inconsistencies in your billing, please contact us via our contact details or you can make a complaint via the customer service of the relevant payment platform.
If your card is declined, you will receive an error message. No payment will be charged to your card and no order will be processed. There may be a pending transaction on your account until your card issuing bank withdraws the authorization. This usually takes 2 to 5 working days. Your card may be declined for a number of reasons, such as insufficient funds, AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch or you have entered an incorrect security code.
If your payment is declined, you will need to provide an alternative payment method or provide another card on which the payment can be charged and processed.
Your payment details will be treated and retained securely and for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of the plans. Builder Bid reserves the right to engage any payment platform available on the market, which processes your data for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of the plans.
Builder Bid reserves the right to determine the price of plans or services and to change the price of services at any time with prior notice.
Please note that the purchase of plans is final and non-refundable. Users may cancel plans at any time through their account settings before they renew and the plan will be cancelled for the next billing period, but no refunds will be issued.
Builder Bid may issue refunds in certain special circumstances. Requests for refunds for special circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Approval of refunds in certain special circumstances will be the sole and exclusive decision of Builder Bid. Builder Bid may decide whether to make a full or partial refund on a case-by-case basis. If the refund is approved, it will be made via the original method of payment.
