Terms of Service
Effective date: August 25, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the CivilTakeoff website at civiltakeoffhq.com, the CivilTakeoff application at app.civiltakeoffhq.com, and related services (together, the “Services”), operated by Civil Takeoff (“CivilTakeoff,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
1. The Services
CivilTakeoff is web-based takeoff and estimating software for construction professionals. You can upload plan documents, measure quantities, attach pricing, and export estimates.
2. Accounts and organizations
You must provide accurate account information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Accounts belong to an organization (a team or an individual workspace); organization administrators control membership and seat roles. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services.
3. Plans, fees, and fair use
We offer a free plan and paid plans as described on our pricing page. Paid plan fees are billed per seat as described at purchase. We may change pricing with notice; changes apply at your next billing cycle. Plan limits (such as project counts and storage) are enforced by the Services. Storage on paid plans, including the 1 TB included with Pro, is for plan documents and takeoff data associated with genuine estimating work. Using the Services as general-purpose file storage is not permitted.
4. Your content
“Content” means the files, plan documents, takeoff geometry, pricing data, and other material you upload to or create in the Services.
You own your Content. We claim no ownership of it.
License to us. So that we can run the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and create derivative renditions of your Content (for example, rendered page tiles, extracted text, and printed PDF bundles) as needed to provide the Services to you and your organization.
Service improvement and machine learning. You also grant us the right to use Content and usage data to maintain and improve the Services, including developing, training, and fine-tuning machine-learning features (for example, models that read plan drawings to suggest measurements). Where practical we use de-identified or aggregated data for this purpose. We do not sell your Content, we do not make your Content available to other customers, and improvement of the Services will not disclose your pricing or bid information to any third party.
Your responsibilities. You represent that you have the rights needed to upload your Content (plan documents are typically prepared by design professionals; ensure your use of them in the Services is permitted) and that your Content does not violate law or third-party rights.
5. Estimates are your responsibility
The Services produce measurements, quantities, and cost calculations that depend on document quality, scale settings, your inputs, and automated detection that can be imperfect. All outputs are estimating aids, not guarantees. You are solely responsible for verifying quantities, prices, and estimates before relying on them in any bid, contract, or business decision. CivilTakeoff has no liability for the outcome of any bid or project.
6. Acceptable use
- Do not break the law or infringe others’ rights.
- Do not probe, overload, or disrupt the Services.
- Do not attempt to access another organization’s data.
- Do not resell or provide the Services to third parties as a service bureau.
- Do not reverse engineer the Services except where law permits.
- Do not upload malware or content you lack rights to.
- Do not use automated means to scrape the Services.
7. Third-party services
The Services depend on third-party providers (such as authentication, hosting, storage, and analytics providers) and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for third-party services; their terms govern your use of them.
8. Termination
You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, non-payment, or legal necessity, with notice where practical. Deleted projects and documents are retained briefly for recovery (see the Privacy Policy) and then purged. Upon termination we will, on request made within 30 days, provide a reasonable export of your Content.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT MEASUREMENTS OR QUANTITIES WILL BE ACCURATE.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST BIDS, OR LOST DATA; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
11. Indemnification
You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your Content, your use of the Services in violation of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced through the Services or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Courts located in New York have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party consents to venue there.
