Terms of Service

Effective: May 12, 2026 · Domus Antonia Lux LLC (Built Dirty)

1. The agreement

These Terms govern your use of builtdirty.com ("the Site") and any kit, retainer, audit, or other service ("Services") you purchase from Built Dirty, a brand of Domus Antonia Lux LLC, an Alabama single-member limited liability company ("Built Dirty," "we," "us," or "our").

By using the Site or purchasing Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or purchase Services.

2. Who can purchase

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter contracts in your jurisdiction. If you're purchasing on behalf of a company or entity, you represent that you have authority to bind it.

3. What we sell

Built Dirty operates two product lines under one brand:

• Apps line (builtdirty.com/apps) — fixed-fee legal-document kits, compliance audits, trademark filing help, and monthly retainers for indie iOS founders.
• Builds line (builtdirty.com/builds) — productized Excel and Power Query templates, custom project-controls workbooks, and monthly retainers for construction subcontractors and small general contractors.

Current offerings, pricing, and turnaround windows are listed on each line's page on the Site. We may add, remove, or reprice offerings at any time; what you actually buy is the offering as it existed at the time of your purchase.

Nature of the deliverable — Apps line

Apps-line kits produce legal-document templates customized to facts you provide. We do not produce legal advice. We do not represent you. We do not establish an attorney-client relationship. The person rendering your kit is not licensed to practice law and is not holding themselves out as an attorney. See Section 11 for the full disclaimer.

Nature of the deliverable — Builds line

Builds-line products are productivity tools: Excel workbooks, Power Query pipelines, dashboards, and custom-built tracking systems. They are not licensed engineering, accounting, surveying, estimating, or legal work product. We are not engineers, accountants, CPAs, or attorneys. You are solely responsible for verifying all calculations, contract interpretations, regulatory compliance, and any other professional judgment required to use a Builds-line deliverable on a live project. See Section 11A for the full disclaimer.

4. How an engagement works

Apps-line engagements

Each Apps-line engagement runs in this order:

• (a) You purchase a kit on the Site. Payment is processed by Stripe and is required in full before any work begins.
• (b) We send you an engagement letter, an intake form, and a receipt.
• (c) You sign the engagement letter (DocuSign) and submit the intake form.
• (d) The turnaround clock starts when both the signed engagement letter and the complete intake form have been received. Incomplete intakes pause the clock until clarifications are received.
• (e) We deliver the kit by email within the turnaround window for your tier.
• (f) You have 14 calendar days from delivery to request your one included revision round (defined below).
• (g) After 14 days without a revision request, or after one revision round is delivered, the engagement is closed.

Builds-line engagements

Builds-line engagements run in one of three flows depending on what you bought:

• Templates. You pay through Stripe, receive an instant download link plus a Loom walkthrough. No engagement letter, no intake, no revisions — what you see is what you get.
• Custom builds. 30-minute discovery call → 1-page scope document + 50% deposit invoiced via Stripe → build → walkthrough call → balance invoiced on delivery. A 30-day bug-fix window starts on delivery; two consolidated revision rounds are included within scope.
• Retainers. Scope call confirms what hours cover → monthly Stripe subscription begins → cancel any time from your Stripe customer portal. Unused hours do not roll over more than one month.

What counts as a "revision round"

One revision round is one batch of consolidated change requests covering the documents already delivered. It is not unlimited back-and-forth. It does not cover scope additions (e.g., adding a new document not in your tier, changing your governing-law state, or revising in response to a third party's redline). Out-of-scope changes are quoted separately.

5. Payment

All Services are paid in full at the time of purchase via Stripe. We do not currently offer payment plans, NET-30 invoicing, or deposits. Subscriptions (the Compliance Retainer) bill monthly and may be cancelled at any time from your Stripe customer portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Prices on the Site are in U.S. dollars and do not include any sales tax that may apply in your jurisdiction.

6. Refunds

Our refund policy is pro-rata before delivery begins, nothing after. Specifics depend on what you bought:

Apps-line refunds

• Before engagement letter and intake are both submitted: 100% refund, no questions.
• After submission but before drafting has begun: 100% refund minus Stripe processing fees.
• After drafting has begun but before delivery: pro-rata refund based on work completed, at our reasonable determination.
• After delivery: no refund. The included revision round is your remedy for documents that don't fit your facts.
• Compliance Retainer: cancel any time. The current month is not pro-rated.

Builds-line refunds

• Templates (instant download): all sales final. Digital products are non-refundable once the download link has been issued, given the inability to "return" a file that has already been delivered. If the template is materially broken on receipt (won't open, missing tabs, formulas error on a clean install), email us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund.
• Custom builds — before scope sign-off: 100% refund minus Stripe processing fees.
• Custom builds — after scope sign-off, before delivery: the 50% deposit is non-refundable. Any work completed beyond the deposit is invoiced pro-rata at our reasonable determination.
• Custom builds — after delivery: no refund. The included revision rounds and 30-day bug-fix window are your remedies.
• Retainers: cancel any time from your Stripe customer portal. The current month is not pro-rated; cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period.

Refund requests go to [email protected]. We process approved refunds within 7 business days.

7. Intellectual property

What you own

Once you've paid in full and your engagement is delivered, you own a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the deliverables (the rendered HTML, the customized text, any PDF summary, any Excel/xlsx workbook, any Power Query connection, any dashboard, and any walkthrough video we send) for your own business, including publication on your website, use in App Store submissions, and use on your construction projects. You may modify them.

What we keep

Built Dirty retains all rights to the underlying templates, methods, prompt structures, rendering tooling, workbook architectures, Power Query patterns, and dashboard designs that produced your deliverables. You receive a license to the output; you do not receive a license to the system that produced it. Reuse of architectural patterns across other clients does not require your consent.

Template redistribution

Builds-line templates are licensed for single-user use within your business. Redistribution, resale, sublicensing, or making the template available to third parties outside your company is prohibited. The license is perpetual but non-transferable.

Your warranties to us

By submitting an intake form, providing business facts, or sharing data files for a custom build, you warrant that the facts you provide are accurate, that you own or have permission to use any business names, marks, descriptions, project data, or other materials you submit, and that providing them to us does not infringe any third party's rights or violate any confidentiality obligation you owe to your customer, employer, or any other party.

8. Portfolio right

Unless you opt out in writing before delivery, we may publicly identify you as a Built Dirty client (e.g., "Built Dirty has worked with [your business name]" or display your logo on a clients page). We do not disclose the contents of your kit, the facts you submitted, or any other details about the engagement. To opt out, email [email protected] before delivery and include the phrase "opt out of portfolio."

9. Acceptable use of the Site

You agree not to:

• Scrape, mirror, or republish the Site or its contents without permission.
• Attempt to access non-public areas of the Site or our systems.
• Submit knowingly false information in any intake form.
• Use the Site to harass, defame, or unlawfully target any person.

10. Third-party content and services

The Site may link to third-party websites or services (Stripe, USPTO, Apple Developer documentation, etc.). We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, privacy practices, or anything else.

11. Disclaimer of attorney services — Apps line — important

Built Dirty is not a law firm. The person rendering your kit is not an attorney and is not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction. Documents we deliver on the Apps line are legal-document templates customized to facts you provide. They are not legal advice.

Engaging Built Dirty does not establish an attorney-client relationship. We do not represent you. Communications with us are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

You are solely responsible for engaging an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction to review any document we deliver before you publish or rely on it. You are solely responsible for your legal compliance.

If you have a question whose honest answer requires legal judgment — "is this clause enforceable in my state?", "do I need to register this trademark?", "can I be sued for X?" — we will decline and refer you to counsel. We will not soft-pedal.

11A. Disclaimer of licensed professional services — Builds line — important

Built Dirty is not an engineering firm, an accounting firm, a CPA practice, an estimating service, a surveying service, or a licensed contractor. The person building your workbook is not a licensed engineer, CPA, registered architect, certified estimator, or licensed surveyor in any jurisdiction.

Templates, custom workbooks, dashboards, Power Query pipelines, and any other Builds-line deliverable are productivity tools. They are not:

• Certified cost estimates, sealed engineering drawings, or signed-and-sealed work product of any kind
• Accounting work product, tax advice, audit work product, or financial statements prepared by a CPA
• A substitute for review by a licensed professional in the jurisdiction where your project sits
• A guarantee that any calculation, pay application, schedule of values, or other output is accurate or contract-compliant

You are solely responsible for verifying every calculation produced by a Builds-line deliverable against your contract, your company's procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements before submitting that output to a general contractor, owner, lender, auditor, regulator, or any other third party. If a pay application produced using one of our workbooks is rejected, miscalculated, or otherwise disputed, the remedy is between you and the counterparty — not Built Dirty.

If you have a question whose honest answer requires professional judgment — "is this AIA pay-app form compliant with my GC's contract?", "is this cost code structure GAAP-compliant?", "is this takeoff accurate enough to bid against?" — we will decline and refer you to a licensed professional. We provide tools, not opinions on the outputs.

12. No warranty

The Services and Site are provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, Built Dirty disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or trade usage. We do not warrant that any deliverable will achieve any specific legal, regulatory, or App Store Review outcome.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Built Dirty's aggregate liability arising out of or related to your use of the Services or Site shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. Built Dirty shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Built Dirty, Domus Antonia Lux LLC, and its sole member from any claim, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of any deliverable, (b) your publication or reliance on any deliverable, (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) any inaccurate fact you submitted in an intake form.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Mobile County, Alabama, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

16. Arbitration and class-action waiver

At Built Dirty's election, any dispute may be referred to binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. You waive any right to bring a claim against Built Dirty as a class action or class-arbitration representative. If a court finds the class waiver unenforceable, the arbitration clause is severable from the rest of these Terms.

17. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or any Service at any time if you breach these Terms, abuse the Services, or use the Site unlawfully. On termination for cause, no refund is owed beyond what Section 6 requires.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The most current version is always at builtdirty.com/terms. Material changes that affect a paid Service in flight will be communicated by email; for those, the Terms in effect at the time of your purchase govern that purchase.

19. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms plus your signed engagement letter form the entire agreement between us.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stay in force.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a successor in a sale of the business.
• Force majeure. Delivery deadlines are extended for events outside our reasonable control (illness, natural disaster, infrastructure outages, etc.) — we'll communicate promptly if one applies.
