Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of the DCFR website, accounts, software, services, DCFR Report Package, Architect-Led AI Feasibility Intelligence Toolkit, downloads, reports, and related materials (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, completing a purchase, or opening or using a delivered digital product, you agree to these Terms.

1. Eligibility and authority

You must be legally capable of entering a binding agreement. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization and that “you” includes the organization.

2. Services and product scope

DCFR provides planning-stage feasibility screening, structured workflows, digital tools, report generation, and related decision-support materials. Paid plans include all seven feasibility modules, with active-project, candidate-screen, detailed-analysis, and user allowances shown on the Pricing page. A Project Pass provides a fixed allowance for 90 days; the additional-analysis option provides one extra detailed run and its report for active subscribers. The Toolkit is a downloadable professional workflow system containing reference materials, prompts, templates, editable files, spreadsheets, and examples. The specific offer presented at purchase controls the included scope.

DCFR reports are generated automatically from customer-submitted information through DCFR’s standardized software workflow. Unless expressly stated in the offer, it does not include human professional review, live consultation, bespoke architectural or engineering services, stamped or sealed deliverables, or project-specific professional certification.

The Toolkit is a pre-created downloadable digital product. Its standard purchase does not include consulting, coaching, project-specific analysis, customized deliverables, or human professional review.

3. Planning-stage limitation and professional confirmation

The Services support early planning, screening, internal review, acquisition discussion, investor discussion, consultant scoping, and professional handoff. They do not provide stamped design, final engineering, legal or zoning opinions, environmental clearance, utility commitments, entitlement or permit approval, appraisal, brokerage, lending or investment advice, contractor pricing, construction documentation, or a guarantee of feasibility, cost, schedule, performance, or approval.

You must independently verify material facts, calculations, sources, assumptions, interpretations, recommendations, and jurisdictional requirements with qualified professionals, authorities, utilities, and primary sources before reliance or project decisions.

4. Accounts and security

You are responsible for safeguarding credentials, passwords, purchase links, license identifiers, and account activity. You may not share credentials, permit unauthorized account or product access, impersonate another person, bypass access controls, or use another person’s entitlement. Notify DCFR promptly through the Contact page if you suspect unauthorized access or distribution.

5. Customer inputs

As between you and DCFR, you retain ownership of lawful information, documents, data, locations, project facts, preferences, notes, and other materials you submit (“Customer Inputs”). You grant DCFR a limited, non-exclusive right to host, copy, process, transmit, and otherwise use Customer Inputs only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, support, and administer the Services and comply with law.

You are responsible for the legality, authority, accuracy, quality, and permitted use of Customer Inputs and for ensuring that submission does not violate confidentiality, privacy, security, export-control, intellectual-property, contractual, or professional obligations.

6. DCFR platform and intellectual property

DCFR and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the Services and the technology and materials used to provide them, including software, source code, calculation engines, formulas, scoring and ranking logic, thresholds, confidence logic, source-selection logic, workflows, methodologies, prompts, schemas, taxonomies, rule registries, templates, databases and compilations, proprietary datasets, documentation, report-generation methods, quality-assurance rules, visual systems, interfaces, and branding (“DCFR Technology”). Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.

7. License to customer outputs

Subject to payment and compliance with these Terms, DCFR grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use purchased reports and other customer-specific outputs (“Customer Outputs”) for legitimate internal project evaluation, acquisition discussion, investor review, consultant coordination, and professional handoff. You may provide a Customer Output to project participants who reasonably need it for the applicable project, provided they are informed of its limitations and do not receive broader rights.

Customer Outputs may reflect Customer Inputs, public or third-party sources, and DCFR Technology. Your permitted use of a Customer Output does not transfer ownership of or grant access to the underlying DCFR Technology, reusable templates, system logic, methods, or proprietary structures.

8. Toolkit license

Unless the purchase offer states otherwise, the Toolkit is licensed to one named purchaser for that purchaser’s own internal professional work and project-specific client work. The licensed user may modify editable templates and create project-specific analyses, matrices, registers, summaries, and decision records. Original Toolkit files, passwords, copy-ready prompt collections, and substantially complete template structures may not be transferred to clients or other unlicensed persons. Additional users require an applicable team or enterprise license or DCFR’s written permission.

9. Prohibited uses

Unless DCFR gives prior written permission, you may not:

• copy, resell, sublicense, publish, redistribute, white-label, or commercially repackage the Services or substantial portions of them;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decode, translate, or attempt to derive DCFR algorithms, formulas, thresholds, internal rules, prompts, methods, or implementation techniques;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-extract, automatically query, systematically collect, or use bots, scripts, agents, or similar means to obtain content or data from the Services;
• circumvent passwords, download controls, watermarks, license identifiers, rate limits, authentication, or other technical protections;
• remove or obscure copyright, source, license, trademark, purchaser, or proprietary notices;
• upload substantial Toolkit content or proprietary DCFR materials to a public repository, shared prompt marketplace, public knowledge base, or publicly accessible artificial-intelligence system; or
• interfere with the security, integrity, availability, or proper operation of the Services.

10. Competitive-use restriction

Without DCFR’s prior written permission, you may not use the Services, Customer Outputs, reports, Toolkit, workflows, interface, datasets, extracted structures, or substantial portions of them to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, reproduce, develop, populate, validate, or improve a competing commercial product, dataset, model, agent, prompt library, workflow system, report generator, course, toolkit, or feasibility platform.

11. Confidential information

Each party will use reasonable care to protect non-public information identified as confidential or that reasonably should be understood as confidential. Confidential information does not include information independently developed without use of the other party’s confidential information, lawfully received without restriction, already known without a duty of confidentiality, or publicly available through no breach. A party may disclose confidential information when legally required after providing notice where permitted.

12. Third-party services and sources

The Services rely on third parties for functions such as payment processing, authentication, hosting, data storage, email, and integrations. Third-party services and source materials remain subject to their own terms, availability, accuracy, and rights. DCFR does not grant rights in third-party content and is not responsible for an external service outside DCFR’s reasonable control.

13. Payments, delivery, and refunds

Prices, renewal terms, and included scope are shown in the applicable offer at purchase. The payment provider and any merchant of record are identified at checkout. DCFR does not store full payment card details. Delivery, access, updates, and support are included only as stated in the applicable offer. Refund eligibility is governed by the Refund Policy, the purchase terms, merchant-of-record requirements, and applicable law.

14. Suspension and termination

DCFR may suspend or terminate access for material breach, unlawful or fraudulent use, credential sharing, unauthorized redistribution, security risk, nonpayment, or attempts to bypass controls. Where reasonably practicable, DCFR may provide notice and an opportunity to cure. Provisions concerning ownership, restrictions, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability, and accrued rights survive termination.

15. Warranty disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, RESULTS, OR AVAILABILITY.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DCFR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, LOST-PROFIT, LOST-DATA, PROJECT-LOSS, OR BUSINESS-INTERRUPTION DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED, DCFR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE APPLICABLE PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, UNLESS APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE. NOTHING EXCLUDES RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.

17. Changes to these Terms

DCFR may update these Terms prospectively. Material changes will be communicated through the website, account, or other reasonable means and will identify an effective date. Changes do not retroactively reduce rights already granted for a completed purchase unless required by law or accepted by you.
