Terms of Service

These terms govern (a) your use of this website, which is operated by S. Thomas Construction, and (b) the relationship between S. Thomas Construction and S. Thomas Construction, the company that creates, owns and provides the software platform behind it. By using this site or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by them.

If you are a visitor, only the website sections apply to you. The software license sections apply between S. Thomas Construction and S. Thomas Construction.

By accessing this website, or by logging in to or otherwise using the software, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these terms and by our Privacy Policy. Your use of the site or the software is your acceptance of both.

If you do not agree with these terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not use the site or the software. Please sign out immediately and do not log back in. You remain welcome to do business with S. Thomas Construction through the usual channels — by email, by phone and through regular in-person meetings — without using the platform.

This website and its public content, brand, text, images and design are owned by S. Thomas Construction. The software platform that powers this site and our internal tools is created, owned and licensed by S. Thomas Construction, and is provided to S. Thomas Construction as a service. Everything behind the login, outside of these public pages — including its estimating and project-management software — is the exclusive property of S. Thomas Construction, including the frontend, the backend, and all underlying logic, source code, architecture, designs, interfaces and documentation.

The current software has been customized and configured for S. Thomas Construction's business operations. That customization does not transfer any ownership: all logic, backend and frontend, including customized portions, remain the sole and exclusive property of S. Thomas Construction. S. Thomas Construction receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the software, and acquires no ownership interest in it, no matter how long the service runs or how it is configured. Any claim by S. Thomas Construction, its owners, successors or assigns to ownership of the software is expressly waived.

The software may not be modified, copied, reverse-engineered, decompiled, resold, sublicensed, transferred or redistributed, in whole or in part, by anyone, including S. Thomas Construction. Attempting to edit the code or to sell or provide the software to any third party is a material breach of this agreement.

The license covers a maximum of 10 seats, provisioned exclusively for S. Thomas Construction's own business operations. Additional seats and current rates are available at core137.com, or by contacting dev@core137.com.

If S. Thomas Construction is sold, merged or undergoes any change of ownership or control, or if changes to the licensed software are required, S. Thomas Construction must be contacted at dev@core137.com for license adjustments and any associated costs. The license does not automatically transfer to a buyer or successor.

The 10 seats are licensed to S. Thomas Construction at its current rate through January 1, 2028. On and after that date, continued use of the software is subject to S. Thomas Construction's standard enterprise per-user rates, which are published at core137.com.

Fees for the software are payable to S. Thomas Construction in advance for each subscription term. If a license lapses or expires, or if a scheduled payment fails, S. Thomas Construction must resubscribe or refresh its payment method at core137.com to keep the service active.

S. Thomas Construction may suspend or restrict access to the software behind the login while a subscription is expired or a payment remains uncleared, and will restore access once the subscription is renewed and payment is current. This is in addition to any suspension for breach described below.

S. Thomas Construction provides the platform to S. Thomas Construction as a service. S. Thomas Construction may suspend or cancel the service at any time (a) when requested by S. Thomas Construction, or (b) immediately and without notice if S. Thomas Construction violates this agreement, including any attempt to edit, copy or reverse-engineer the code or to sell or provide the software to others.

S. Thomas Construction is not liable for any loss, cost or business interruption resulting from a suspension or cancellation permitted by this section.

Data created or processed in the S. Thomas Construction platform is the property of S. Thomas Construction. It is shared with S. Thomas Construction solely for AI training purposes, and is never sold or shared with anyone else.

S. Thomas Construction is solely responsible for its own data management, including the accuracy, legality, backup and retention of the data it enters, and for its own clients, projects and services. S. Thomas Construction acts only as a software provider and is not a party to, and has no responsibility for, S. Thomas Construction's business relationships or construction work.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, S. Thomas Construction is not liable for lost, stolen, deleted, corrupted or unavailable data, or for unauthorized access to data, however caused, and S. Thomas Construction waives any such claim against S. Thomas Construction, except to the extent caused by S. Thomas Construction's willful misconduct.

General contractors, subcontractors and other authorized users who access the platform through a login are solely responsible for the actions they take in it — including any changes, entries, edits, uploads, approvals or deletions — and for the management, accuracy, legality, backup and security of the data they enter or modify.

Neither S. Thomas Construction nor S. Thomas Construction is responsible or liable for changes made by, or for the data management of, any logged-in user, or for any loss, error, dispute or damage arising from those actions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each user waives and will not seek to recover any money, damages or compensation from S. Thomas Construction or S. Thomas Construction in connection with them. Each user is responsible for verifying the information they rely on and for using the platform in accordance with these terms.

The public pages of this website are provided for general information only. You are solely responsible for how you use and interpret them, and you access and rely on them entirely at your own risk. Nothing on the public pages is professional, engineering, financial or legal advice, and it must not be relied upon as such.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release S. Thomas Construction and S. Thomas Construction from, and waive and will not seek to recover, any money, damages or compensation for any loss or harm arising from your own use or interpretation of, or reliance on, the public pages. Responsibility for that use and interpretation rests with you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither S. Thomas Construction nor S. Thomas Construction is liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or business interruption, arising out of or related to the use of this website or the software, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

For website visitors, the total aggregate liability of S. Thomas Construction arising from use of the public pages is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100). For S. Thomas Construction, the total aggregate liability of S. Thomas Construction is limited to the fees paid for the service in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose. The terms of any construction work are governed by the signed contract for that project, which controls in the event of any conflict with these website terms.

S. Thomas Construction will defend, indemnify and hold harmless S. Thomas Construction from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from S. Thomas Construction's data, its clients, its projects and services, its use or misuse of the software, or its breach of this agreement, including any attempt to claim ownership of, modify or resell the software.

Visitors who misuse this website will defend, indemnify and hold harmless S. Thomas Construction from any claim arising from that misuse or from their violation of these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and each party consents to their jurisdiction and venue.

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the signed contract for a project and the license arrangement between S. Thomas Construction and S. Thomas Construction, are the entire agreement on their subject matter.

Your use of this website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference. The site uses cookies and similar technologies only as described there: strictly-necessary technologies are always active, and all other categories run solely after you consent through our cookie banner. You may accept, reject, or manage categories at any time via “Cookie settings.”

By selecting “Accept all,” you consent to the placement and use of all cookie categories and to the related processing described in the Privacy Policy, which may include the use of location data and, where applicable, the “sale” or “sharing” of information as defined by state privacy laws. By selecting “Reject all,” by closing the banner, or by not responding, you consent only to strictly-necessary processing, and certain features may be unavailable. We honor Global Privacy Control and Do-Not-Track signals as an opt-out of sale/sharing and targeted advertising. Your consent choice is recorded with its date and version as your record of consent. Neither S. Thomas Construction nor S. Thomas Construction is liable for limitations in site functionality that result from a decision to refuse or withdraw consent.

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this website, these terms, or the Privacy Policy — including claims relating to cookies, tracking, data privacy or consent — that is not resolved informally will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, seated in Texas, rather than in court. This does not apply to the construction services themselves, which are governed by the signed contract for each project.

Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and each of S. Thomas Construction and S. Thomas Construction agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding, and that each party waives any right to a jury trial. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court. Where binding arbitration is not permitted by applicable law, the exclusive-venue and governing-law provisions above apply. Nothing in these terms limits any non-waivable right you have under the laws of your state or country.
