By downloading, installing, or using the Build Specs mobile or web application (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Build Specs is a reference and quick-sizing toolkit for jobsite professionals (gas, plumbing, electrical, framing). It surfaces values from published codes and manufacturer tables (NFPA 54, NEC, IPC, IRC, and product manuals) along with calculators that apply those values to common sizing problems.
Build Specs is a reference aid, not engineered design and not a substitute for professional judgment. All work derived from the App must be verified against the governing edition of the applicable code, the actual manufacturer's installation manual, and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). You are solely responsible for the safety and code-compliance of any work you perform.
Build Specs offers an optional 10-minute free preview, after which continued use requires a paid subscription. Subscriptions are sold on a recurring basis through your Apple App Store account.
Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase.
If you start a free trial and do not cancel before it ends, the trial converts automatically to a paid subscription at the price listed above. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you purchase a subscription before the trial ends.
You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID Account Settings. Cancellation stops the next renewal but does not refund the current period.
All refund requests are handled by Apple under their standard refund policy. Build Specs does not process refunds directly.
You agree not to:
The App, including its interface, calculators, code, and documentation, is owned by the developer and licensed to you on a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable basis for your own professional or personal reference use. Code data referenced inside the App (NFPA, NEC, IPC, etc.) remains the property of its respective publisher.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. While we work to keep reference values current and correct, codes are revised periodically and clerical errors are possible. Always verify against the governing code edition and manufacturer documentation before relying on any output.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall the developer be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. The developer's total cumulative liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the developer is domiciled, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Questions about these Terms can be sent to [email protected].
