Terms of Use

(Effective as of August 1st 2024)

Welcome to www.countbricks.com, a website (the “Site”) and the Countbricks application (the “App”) operated by CountBricks.com Ltd (the “Company”).

The following Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you use any part of the “Site” and/or download the App and/or click “I accept” to these Terms.   The term "Site" is often used in these Terms to refer to both the Site and App collectively.

Please review these Terms carefully.  By accessing or using the Site or App, you show you agree to these Terms.  If you don’t agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Site or App.

ABOUT THE SITE

The Site uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) to create estimates, measure using takeoff tools, and create and send professional quotes and invoices.

Services provided via the Site are called the “Service.”

The Site allows you to register for the Service. As discussed in our Privacy Policy  https://www.countbricks.com/utilities/privacy-policy, when you register for the Service you'll be asked to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, company name, email address and business address .

Users will be asked to create a password.

Also, please note that the Site is under constant development. New features may be added frequently, so it’s important to check back to this page for updates.

PAID SERVICES

To use the paid Service, users will be charged fees. Fees are currently collected via Stripe and Google subscriptions  (our "Billing Service Providers"), which each has its own legal terms.

You will be required to enter your payment information before you can use the paid Service.

You will be required to provide the Company and/or its Billing Service Provider with information regarding your credit card or other payment method. You represent and warrant that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment method.

You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date). You hereby authorize the Company to bill you in accordance with the terms of your plan until you terminate your account, and you agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges, you must notify the Company within thirty (30) days after the date that you are billed.

You can terminate your use of the Service, change your password, and otherwise manage your account using the Site and App.

We reserve the right to change the Company’s fees. If the Company does change its fees, the Company will provide notice of the change on the Site or App or in an email to you, at Company’s option, at least 14 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the fee change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.

If you properly terminate your paid account, you will not be charged for future months (for a monthly subscription) or years (for an annual subscription). However, you will not receive a refund for a subscription or Services for which you have paid.

Your subscription will auto-renew until terminated.

Terms of subscriptions

iTunes

Payment for an App subscription will be charged to the iTunes Account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. The iTunes Account will be charged within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period at the price specified for current subscription. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of the free trial period will be forfeited if and when you purchase a subscription. You will be able to use the app on multiple devices, as allowed by Apple's in-app purchase policy.

Android

When signing up for the App on an Android device, payment will be charged to your Google Play Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current billing period. Depending on the subscription duration and plan level of your account, your subscription will auto-renew monthly. Auto-renewal can be turned off, as well as other subscription management done, by going to your Google Play Subscriptions after purchase.
