1. Parties & Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between Worktools 101 ("Worktools 101," "we," "our," or "us"), a Canadian business, and you, the person or entity creating an account or using the Service ("you" or "User").

By clicking "Sign Up," "Agree To Terms," "Accept & Authorize," or by otherwise accessing or using the Service, you represent that:

  • You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy;
  • You are at least 18 years of age;
  • You have the legal authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself or the business entity you represent; and
  • Your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, "you" refers to that entity, and you represent that you have authority to bind it to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Worktools 101 is a construction and renovation project management platform that provides:

  • Project management tools (budgets, drawings, schedules, Gantt charts)
  • Client selection portals for finishes, materials, and design choices
  • AI-generated design renders based on client selections (the "AI Render Feature")
  • Subcontractor portals, punch list management, and deficiency tracking
  • Kiosk-based employee time tracking
  • Document management and cloud file storage
  • Invoicing, estimating, and change order tools
  • Google Calendar integration (optional)
  • Mobile application access

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time with reasonable notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

3. Accounts & Eligibility

3.1 Registration

You must create an account to access most features. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

3.2 Credentials

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and any employee PIN codes used with the Kiosk feature. Notify us immediately at nathan@worktools101.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

3.3 Account Verification

We may require email verification or manual account review before granting full access. We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion.

3.4 One Account Per Business

Each subscription covers one contracting business. You may not share credentials across unrelated businesses.

4. Subscription & Fees

4.1 Subscription Plans

Access to the Service requires an active paid subscription. Subscription fees, billing periods, and plan details are presented at sign-up and in your Subscription settings. All prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless otherwise stated.

4.2 Billing

You authorize us to charge your payment method on file for recurring subscription fees at the beginning of each billing period. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of access.

4.3 Trials

If we offer a trial period, your subscription begins at the end of the trial unless cancelled before the trial ends. We reserve the right to modify or cancel trial offers at any time.

4.4 Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable Canadian consumer protection law. Prorated refunds are not provided for partial billing periods.

4.5 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices with 30 days' notice. Continued use of the Service after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

4.6 Taxes

You are responsible for all applicable taxes associated with your subscription. We may collect and remit GST/HST as required by Canadian law.

5. AI Render Feature & Billing

5.1 Free Monthly Allowance

Each account receives 25 (twenty-five) free AI design renders per calendar month. The monthly allowance resets on the first render generated in a new calendar month. Unused free renders do not carry over.

5.2 Overage Charges

AI renders generated beyond the 25-render free monthly allowance are billed at $1.00 CAD per render (the "Render Rate"). Overage charges accrue throughout the month and are invoiced and automatically charged to your payment method on file at the end of each calendar month.

5.3 Billing Agreement & Authorization

To enable the AI Render Feature, you must explicitly accept the AI Render Billing Agreement within the Service. By accepting:

  • You authorize Worktools 101 to charge your payment method on file for all render overage amounts at the Render Rate;
  • You acknowledge that Stripe payment processing fees are charged in addition to the Render Rate and will appear on your statement;
  • You agree that your acceptance is binding and is timestamped for record-keeping and dispute resolution purposes;
  • You acknowledge that this authorization remains in effect until you either close your account or contact us to revoke it.

5.4 Budget Cap

You may set a monthly render cap in your Subscription settings. Once the cap is reached, the AI Render Feature is blocked for the remainder of the calendar month. Worktools 101 is not liable for renders generated before the cap is saved or takes effect.

5.5 Enable / Disable

You may disable the AI Render Feature at any time. Disabling does not cancel outstanding overage charges for renders already generated in the current month.

5.6 Render Rate Changes

We reserve the right to change the Render Rate with 30 days' notice by email. Continued use of the AI Render Feature after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new rate.

5.7 No Guarantees on Render Quality

AI renders are generated by a third-party AI model (OpenAI DALL-E 3) and are provided "as is." We make no representations about the accuracy, suitability, or professional quality of any generated render. Renders are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute architectural, engineering, or design advice.

6. Payment Authorization & Stripe Fees

6.1 Payment Processor

All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information, you also agree to Stripe's terms of service. We do not store raw card numbers.

6.2 Stripe Processing Fees

Stripe charges payment processing fees (typically a percentage of the transaction plus a fixed amount) on each payment. These fees are charged in addition to your subscription fees and AI render overage charges and will appear on your card or bank statement. Worktools 101 does not absorb or reimburse Stripe processing fees.

6.3 Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we may retry the charge or suspend your account. You are responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file. Outstanding balances continue to accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.

6.4 Disputes & Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback with your bank or card issuer for charges you have authorized under these Terms (including render overages you accepted), we reserve the right to:

  • Provide your acceptance records and timestamps to Stripe and your financial institution;
  • Suspend or terminate your account pending resolution;
  • Recover our reasonable costs, including chargeback fees imposed on us by Stripe.

7. Client Portals & Third-Party Access

7.1 Portal Links

The Service allows you to generate access links ("portal links") for your clients and subcontractors. You are solely responsible for distributing these links to the correct recipients and for any access that results.

7.2 Client Data

When clients enter data through a portal (selections, responses, photos), that data is stored in your account. You are responsible for obtaining any consent from your clients required by applicable law before sharing their information through the Service.

7.3 Summary Emails

The "Email Summary" feature sends emails to addresses you specify. You confirm that you have authorization to send email to those addresses on behalf of your business. We are not responsible for misuse of this feature.

7.4 Portal Token Security

Portal tokens grant access without a password. Treat portal links as confidential. We are not liable for unauthorized access resulting from link sharing.

8. Kiosk & Employee Data

The Kiosk feature is designed for use with your own employees. You represent that:

  • You have informed your employees that their time, location, and any photos are recorded through the Kiosk;
  • You have obtained any consents required by applicable Canadian employment and privacy law;
  • You are solely responsible for wage calculations and payroll decisions made using Kiosk data — the Service provides records only and does not constitute payroll advice.

9. Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you upload or create through the Service ("Your Content"), including project data, documents, and photos.

10. AI-Generated Content

AI renders generated through the Service are created by OpenAI's DALL-E 3 model based on data you provide. You acknowledge:

  • AI-generated images may not accurately represent actual construction outcomes;
  • Renders are for conceptual illustration purposes only;
  • You should not present AI renders to clients as guaranteed or final design outcomes;
  • Worktools 101 is not responsible for client decisions made based on AI renders;
  • OpenAI's usage policies apply to prompts transmitted through the Service.

Ownership and usage rights for AI-generated outputs are subject to OpenAI's terms and applicable law, which may vary by jurisdiction.

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any applicable law

  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access or extract data from the Service
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
  • Share your account credentials with individuals outside your business
  • Use the AI Render Feature to generate content that violates OpenAI's usage policies
  • Resell or sublicense access to the Service without our written consent

12. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, and documentation, is owned by Worktools 101 and protected by Canadian and international intellectual property law. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Service to you. You receive only the limited right to use the Service as described herein.

WORKTOOLS 101, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO WORKTOOLS 101 IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100.00).

Some Canadian provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such provinces, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
