You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to the Platform or other users.

5. Builder Subscriptions

Trade professionals who wish to be listed on BLDESY! must subscribe to a paid plan. Subscription fees are charged on a monthly basis at the rate specified at the time of subscription.

BLDESY! operates on a flat monthly subscription model with no per-lead fees and no commission on jobs. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing with 30 days' prior notice. Refunds are handled in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.

6. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Platform, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio, video, software, and the underlying code, are owned by or licensed to BLDESY! and are protected by Australian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

By submitting content to the Platform (including reviews, photos, and profile information), you grant BLDESY! a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, and display that content in connection with the operation of the Services.

7. Limitation of Liability

BLDESY! is a platform that connects homeowners with trade professionals. We do not perform, supervise, or guarantee the quality of any trade work. We are not a party to any agreements between homeowners and builders, and we are not liable for any disputes, damages, or losses arising from those agreements.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BLDESY! and its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded or limited by agreement.

8. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature in your settings. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.

Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including but not limited to intellectual property provisions, limitation of liability, and governing law.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales for the resolution of any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
