Terms of Service — Jobsides
Effective date: September 1, 2026 Last updated: September 1, 2026 Supersedes: the version of these Terms effective August 24, 2026
Welcome to Jobsides ("Jobsides," "we," "us," "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") also serve as the End-User License Agreement (EULA) for our software. They govern your access to and use of the Jobsides website, applications, and services (together, the "Service"), operated by Jobsides, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. By creating an account, starting a trial, using the Service, or clicking "I agree" during signup, you ("you," "your," "Customer") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company, and "you" refers to that company.
These Terms replace and supersede the prior version effective August 24, 2026, as of the Effective Date above.
1. About Jobsides
Jobsides is a software-as-a-service platform for residential and light-commercial general contractors. The Service helps you manage projects, estimates, contracts, invoices, subcontractors, payments, scheduling, time tracking, and related business workflows.
Jobsides is a software tool. Jobsides is not a law firm, an attorney, a legal document assistant, a tax advisor, an accountant, an insurance broker, a licensed contractor's board, a bank, or a money transmitter. The Service does not provide legal, tax, accounting, insurance, licensing, employment, or financial advice. Jobsides is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. All content produced through the Service — including AI-generated drafts, contract templates, lien waivers, invoices, checks, scopes of work, and estimates — is provided as a starting point that you must review and take full responsibility for before using with real customers, subcontractors, or third parties.
Beta status. Portions of the Service are offered as beta or preview features. Beta features may change, be suspended, or be discontinued at any time without notice; they are provided without any service-level commitment; and you should maintain your own backups of critical business data. Feedback you provide on beta features is licensed to us under Section 13.5.
2. Eligibility
To use the Service, you must be at least 18 years old, have legal capacity to enter into a binding contract, and be authorized to bind the business you register on behalf of. You must comply with all applicable laws, including your state's contractor licensing, tax, employment, and consumer-protection laws.
3. Account registration
3.1 You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep it updated. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] of any unauthorized use.
3.2 Your subscription may allow you to invite additional users (employees, subcontractors, or other personnel) to access your account under role-based permissions ("Authorized Users"). You are responsible for: (a) each Authorized User's compliance with these Terms and the AUP; (b) the acts and omissions of each Authorized User as if they were your own; (c) maintaining appropriate permission settings, including which Authorized Users may view financial data or use the check-writing feature; and (d) promptly deactivating Authorized Users who leave your organization.
4. Subscription, fees, and auto-renewal
4.1 Subscription fees are as posted on jobsides.com/pricing at the time of your purchase. Fees are quoted in US dollars and, except as stated in section 19.2, are non-refundable.
4.2 AUTO-RENEWAL. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS AT THE END OF EACH BILLING CYCLE (MONTHLY OR ANNUAL) AT THE THEN-CURRENT RATES. YOU AUTHORIZE US TO CHARGE THE PAYMENT METHOD ON FILE ON EACH RENEWAL DATE. YOU CAN CANCEL AT ANY TIME BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS. IF YOU CANCEL, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION REMAINS ACTIVE UNTIL THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT PAID PERIOD, AND WILL NOT AUTO-RENEW AFTERWARD.
4.3 We may change our fees on 30 days' written notice, effective at your next renewal date. Continued use after a fee change constitutes acceptance.
4.4 Free trial; no refunds. New accounts receive a free trial of fourteen (14) days. The trial is your opportunity to evaluate the Service; no payment method is required and nothing is charged during it. When you subscribe, all fees are charged in advance and are non-refundable. This includes the full annual fee on an annual plan, which is charged once at the start of each annual period. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods, unused time, downgrades, or periods during which you did not use the Service. The only exceptions are those stated in section 19.2 and any refund required by applicable law.
4.5 Fees are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for all sales, use, and similar taxes, excluding taxes on Jobsides' income.
4.6 Payment disputes and chargebacks. Before disputing a charge with your bank or card issuer, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and allow us fifteen (15) days to resolve the matter. By subscribing you confirm that you have authorized each charge under section 4.2, that the charges are for services you agreed to purchase, and that a decision not to use the Service, or to cancel after a renewal has been charged, is not a basis for reversing a charge. If a chargeback or payment reversal is initiated for a charge you authorized, we may suspend your account until the amount is paid, and we may recover the disputed amount together with any fees the card network or our payment processor charges us as a result. We keep records of your acceptance of these Terms, your payment authorization, the date and amount of each charge, and your use of the Service, and we will provide those records to the card network in response to any dispute.
5. Customer data + your responsibility for content
5.1 You own your data. As between you and Jobsides, you retain all rights to the information, documents, files, images, contract text, estimates, invoices, waivers, scopes of work, and other content you and your team enter into or upload to the Service ("Customer Data"). You can export your Customer Data at any time — see Section 19.2.
5.2 You are solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Customer Data, including any AI-assisted content you create with the Service. You warrant that you have the legal right to upload or create the Customer Data you place in the Service, and that its use through the Service will not violate any third-party rights or applicable law.
5.3 You grant Jobsides a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, display, and store Customer Data solely to provide the Service. We do not sell your Customer Data. We do not use Customer Data to train third-party AI models. We may use de-identified, aggregated data — data that does not identify you, your company, or any person — to improve the Service and its features, including our AI features. Your identifiable business data (your prices, your margins, your customers, your documents) is used only to serve you.
6. AI-generated content
6.1 The Service includes AI-assisted features such as the AI Writing Assistant, AI Scope Writer, AI Contract Compose Engine, and AI drawing takeoff tools ("AI Features").
6.2 DUE TO THE NATURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING, AI-GENERATED CONTENT PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE MAY BE INCORRECT OR INACCURATE. The AI Features are drafting tools that draft from the information you provide, and may introduce or alter specifics on their own. They do not verify facts, prices, dates, quantities, brand names, legal terms, warranty language, insurance requirements, or specifications.
6.3 YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE USE OR RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTRACTS, ESTIMATES, INVOICES, LIEN WAIVERS, SCOPES OF WORK, AND CHANGE ORDERS. You agree to review all AI-generated content before sending to any customer, subcontractor, employee, or third party, and to have an attorney review any AI-generated contract template before use in a real project.
6.4 You own the AI-generated outputs you create with the Service. Jobsides claims no ownership of AI-generated content produced through your account.
6.5 You will not represent any AI-generated output as having been drafted, reviewed, or approved by a licensed attorney or other licensed professional unless that review actually occurred. You will not use AI-generated output to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine learning model for the purpose of developing a product or service competitive with the Service. Nothing in this section requires you to disclose your use of AI Features to your own customers, restricts your ordinary business use of the outputs you create, or prevents you from using other software tools in your workflow.
7. Contract templates + lien waivers
7.1 The Service provides contract templates, clause libraries, and state-specific lien waiver forms as starting points. These templates are compiled from publicly available statutory language and industry-standard practice. They are not attorney-drafted contracts. They have not been reviewed by legal counsel for use in your specific project, jurisdiction, or business context.
7.2 Before using any contract template or lien waiver form generated through the Service for a real customer, subcontractor, or vendor:
- You are responsible for verifying that the form matches the current statutory language for your state (statutes change; templates may lag)
- You are responsible for consulting an attorney if the contract value exceeds $10,000, involves warranties or insurance, or contains language you do not understand
- You accept full liability for any consequence of relying on a Service-generated template without attorney review
7.3 The Service is not a substitute for the advice of a licensed attorney.
8. Check-writing feature
8.1 The Service includes a check-writing feature that formats printed checks (voucher stock or blank MICR stock) using bank account routing and account numbers that you provide from your own bank account.
8.2 Jobsides is not a bank, money transmitter, or check verification service. Jobsides never holds, receives, transfers, or aggregates your funds. Jobsides acts solely as a software utility that formats a printable check on your instructions.
8.3 You are the drawer of every check you create through the Service. Your bank is the drawee. You are responsible for:
- Confirming the accuracy of routing and account numbers you enter
- Ensuring sufficient funds in the payer account before signing and issuing any check
- Verifying the payee's identity and legal name
- Complying with your bank's rules on printed check acceptance and MICR line standards
- Any state or federal regulatory requirements applicable to your check writing
8.4 Subject to Section 15, Jobsides is not liable for any consequence of a check rejected or returned due to insufficient funds, a stop-payment, your bank's acceptance policies, your check stock or printer, an error in information you provided, or delivery to a recipient you designated. Liability for a check defect caused solely by the Service is governed by Section 15.
9. Invoicing feature
9.1 The Service allows you to create, format, and send invoices to your customers. You are the party issuing the invoice; Jobsides is the software tool.
9.2 You are solely responsible for:
- The accuracy of all amounts, quantities, and totals on any invoice you create
- Correctly calculating and applying sales tax for your state, county, and locality
- Any legal notices required by your state's contractor law
- Actual delivery of the goods or services you invoice for
9.3 Jobsides transmits the invoice at your direction. What the invoice contains and whether it is legally enforceable is your responsibility.
9A. Payroll and time-tracking features
9A.1 The Service includes time-tracking and payroll-calculation features that compute gross pay, overtime, and related amounts from the hours, rates, and settings you enter and configure.
9A.2 Jobsides is not your employees' employer, an employer of record, a payroll processor, a PEO, or a payroll tax filer. The Service does not calculate, withhold, deposit, or file payroll taxes. You are solely responsible for:
- Verifying every payroll calculation before issuing payment
- Correctly classifying your workers (employee vs. independent contractor; exempt vs. non-exempt)
- Compliance with federal and state wage-and-hour laws, including overtime rules, minimum wage, and pay-frequency requirements
- All payroll tax withholding, deposits, and filings
- Workers' compensation and any other employment-related obligations
9A.3 Employment decisions — hiring, firing, discipline, access removal — are yours alone. The Service executes your instructions (such as deactivating a team member's access); the decision and its consequences are your responsibility.
10. Third-party integrations
10.1 The Service integrates with third-party services including but not limited to Intuit QuickBooks Online, Stripe (payment processing), Anthropic (AI processing), Cloudflare (storage), Home Depot Pro Xtra (planned), and Lowe's Product Catalog (planned) ("Third-Party Services").
10.2 Third-Party Services are provided by their respective owners under their own terms and privacy policies. Jobsides does not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for any Third-Party Service. Your use of a Third-Party Service through the Service is at your own risk and subject to the third party's terms.
10.3 You are responsible for accepting the terms of any Third-Party Service you enable through the Service. When you connect QuickBooks, you authorize Jobsides to access and exchange data with your QuickBooks company as described in our Privacy Policy, and you agree to comply with Intuit's applicable end-user terms. Your data flows to a Third-Party Service at your direction.
11. Electronic signatures + electronic records
11.1 You agree that your electronic signature on any document created, sent, or signed through the Service — including contracts, change orders, lien waivers, and consent forms — is legally binding to the same extent as a physical signature, in accordance with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7001-7031) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) as adopted in your state.
11.2 By using electronic signatures through the Service, you consent to conduct business electronically. You have the right to receive paper copies of any electronic record and to withdraw consent to electronic records at any time by emailing [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent may terminate your ability to use certain features of the Service.
11.3 Jobsides retains an audit trail of each electronic signature event including signer identity, timestamps, IP address, authentication method, intent-to-sign evidence, document hash, and unique document ID. Records are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years or the applicable statute-of-limitations period, whichever is longer.
11.4 Where a document is sent through the Service for signature by a person other than you (a "Recipient Signer"), the Service presents the Recipient Signer with an electronic-records consent disclosure and captures the Recipient Signer's affirmative consent before signing. This section takes effect when the recipient-consent screen is enabled in the Service; until then, you are responsible for obtaining any electronic-records consent required from your Recipient Signers. You are responsible for providing accurate contact information for each Recipient Signer and for not using the Service to obtain a signature from any person who has declined or withdrawn consent to electronic records.
12. Acceptable use
Your use of the Service is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy at jobsides.com/legal/aup, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
13. Intellectual property
13.1 The Service, including all software, design, text, graphics, and documentation, is owned by Jobsides and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
13.2 You may not copy, modify, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the Service. You may not use the Service to develop a competing product.
13.3 You retain ownership of your Customer Data and AI-generated outputs as stated in sections 5 and 6.
13.4 Confidentiality. Each party will protect the other's non-public information disclosed under these Terms with at least reasonable care and will use it only to perform under these Terms. Standard exclusions apply (information that is public, independently developed, rightfully received from a third party, or required to be disclosed by law, with notice where lawful). Customer Data is additionally governed by Section 5 and the Privacy Policy. These obligations last three (3) years after termination; trade secrets remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets.
13.5 Feedback. If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant Jobsides a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or obligation to you.
14. Warranties — AS IS
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS. JOBSIDES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. JOBSIDES DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT PRODUCED THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE.
15. Limitation of liability
15.1 CAP. JOBSIDES' AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.
15.2 EXCLUDED DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL JOBSIDES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
15.3 EXCEPTIONS TO THE CAP. The limitations in 15.1 and 15.2 do not apply to liability arising from Jobsides' gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or to any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
15.4 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Jobsides, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your Customer Data or any content you create with the Service; (c) your use of the Service in violation of applicable law; (d) any dispute between you and any third party (including your customer, subcontractor, employee, supplier, or vendor) arising from or relating to your business activities conducted through, or documents produced with, the Service; and (e) your reliance on any AI-generated content, contract template, lien waiver, invoice, bill, purchase order, change order, estimate, payroll or time-tracking calculation, schedule, or check produced through the Service.
Your indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a claim arises from Jobsides' breach of these Terms, Jobsides' gross negligence or willful misconduct, or a failure of the Service to perform materially as described.
We will provide you prompt written notice of any claim subject to indemnification. You may assume control of the defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to us; we may participate at our own expense; and you will not settle any claim that imposes non-monetary obligations on Jobsides without our prior written consent.
17. Dispute resolution — arbitration + class action waiver
17.1 INFORMAL NEGOTIATION. Before initiating any formal dispute, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through informal negotiation for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice. Written notice must be sent to [email protected].
17.2 BINDING ARBITRATION. IF INFORMAL NEGOTIATION DOES NOT RESOLVE THE DISPUTE, ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) UNDER ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. JUDGMENT ON THE ARBITRATION AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
For claims of $25,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted by videoconference or on written submissions unless either party requests an in-person hearing; any in-person hearing for such claims will be held in the county of your principal place of business or Dallas County, Texas, at your election. If twenty-five (25) or more arbitration demands presenting similar claims are filed against Jobsides by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree the demands will be administered in batches under the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, with a single batch proceeding first and the remainder stayed pending its resolution. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the applicable AAA rules.
17.3 CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR ARBITRATION, AND THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
17.4 EXCEPTIONS. Notwithstanding section 17.2: (a) either party may bring any claim in small-claims court, up to that court's jurisdictional limit, in the county of that party's principal place of business; and (b) either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for claims involving intellectual property, misuse of the Service, or breach of confidentiality.
17.5 CLAIM PERIOD. Any claim or action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be brought within two (2) years after the cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
17.6 OPT-OUT. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class waiver in sections 17.2 and 17.3 by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision.
18. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Venue for any court action permitted under section 17.4(b) shall be in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas. Small-claims actions under section 17.4(a) may be brought in the county of the filing party's principal place of business.
19. Termination
19.1 Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. You may terminate by canceling your subscription in the account settings. We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these Terms, non-payment, or misuse of the Service.
19.2 On termination: your right to access the Service ends. You may export your Customer Data via CSV or standard export within thirty (30) days of termination. After thirty (30) days, we may delete your Customer Data, subject to backup retention windows described in the Privacy Policy. If we terminate these Terms other than for your breach, non-payment, or violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, we will refund the pro-rata portion of any prepaid fees covering the remainder of your then-current paid period.
20. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top. If we make material changes, we will provide at least thirty (30) days' notice by email or in-app notice before the new Terms take effect, and where the change materially reduces your rights we will ask you to accept the revised Terms before you continue using the Service. Continued use after the effective date of a non-material change constitutes acceptance.
21. Miscellaneous
21.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, and any feature-specific terms, disclosures, and acknowledgments presented within the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Jobsides regarding the Service.
21.2 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
21.3 No waiver. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
21.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
21.5 Notices. We may notify you via email to the address on file or by in-app notice. You may notify us at [email protected].
21.6 Contact. Jobsides, LLC · [email protected] · jobsides.com
21.7 Survival. Sections 5.2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9A, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and any accrued payment obligations survive termination or expiration of these Terms.
21.8 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, or failures of third-party hosting, AI-processing, or payment providers, provided the affected party uses reasonable efforts to mitigate.
