These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”) and AY4LA LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as TrussBooks, with its principal place of business in Corpus Christi, Texas (“TrussBooks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using TrussBooks (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
By clicking “Start Free Trial,” “Sign Up,” or otherwise accessing the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. These terms apply to all users, including company administrators and team members invited to an organization.
TrussBooks is a construction financial management platform for general contractors. The Service includes budget tracking, purchase order management, invoice processing, change order tracking, subcontractor pay applications, QuickBooks Online integration, and related features as described on our website.
Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, TrussBooks grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Service during your subscription term for your internal business purposes only.
You may not: (a) sublicense, sell, resell, or transfer the Service; (b) modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on the Service; (c) access the Service to build a competing product; (d) use the Service in any way that violates applicable law; or (e) access the Service through automated means (bots, scrapers) except through our published API with a Business plan.
You grant TrussBooks a limited, non-exclusive license to use, process, and display your data solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Service, and to comply with applicable law. We will not use your project data for any other purpose without your explicit consent.
You agree not to: (a) upload or transmit viruses, malware, or harmful code; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or related systems; (c) use the Service to store or transmit material that infringes third-party rights; (d) interfere with the integrity or performance of the Service; (e) use the Service for any unlawful purpose; or (f) share your account credentials with unauthorized individuals.
You are responsible for all activity under your account, including activity by team members or subcontractors you invite. Organization owners are responsible for managing access permissions for their team.
TrussBooks and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, and trademarks. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you except the limited license granted above.
“TrussBooks” and the TrussBooks logo are trademarks of AY4LA LLC. You may not use our trademarks without prior written consent.
You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Each organization must have at least one owner. You must be 18 years or older to use the Service.
Subcontractors may access limited functionality through secure links generated by your organization, including viewing purchase orders and submitting pay applications. No separate account is required. You are responsible for ensuring your subcontractors’ use of the Service complies with these Terms. Subcontractor access is subject to the same acceptable use policies.
TrussBooks offers a 14-day free trial with full access to Pro features. No credit card is required to start. At the end of the trial period, you must select a paid subscription plan to continue using the Service. If you do not subscribe, your account will be placed in a read-only state. Your data will remain accessible for export for 30 days after the trial ends.
After the trial, you choose a subscription plan (Starter, Pro, or Business) billed monthly or annually via Stripe. Prices are subject to change with at least 30 days’ notice to account owners. You may cancel your subscription at any time — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.
Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection with the Service, including your financial project data and our proprietary technology. This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
You own your data. TrussBooks does not claim ownership of any project data, financial records, documents, or other content you create or upload. You may export your data at any time. Upon account cancellation, your data remains accessible for 30 days before being permanently deleted.
API access is available on the Business plan. You may use the TrussBooks API to integrate with your internal systems. API access is subject to rate limits as documented in our API documentation. You may not use the API to build a product or service that competes with TrussBooks. We reserve the right to suspend API access for excessive use or abuse.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
TrussBooks does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. TrussBooks is a financial management tool — not a substitute for professional accounting, tax, or legal advice. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any financial data, calculations, or reports generated by the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TrussBooks shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunity, arising from your use of the Service.
TrussBooks’ total aggregate liability for all claims arising under or related to these Terms shall not exceed the amounts paid by you to TrussBooks in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AY4LA LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; or (d) the accuracy, legality, or completeness of any data you upload to the Service.
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. You may cancel your account through the Settings page or by contacting us. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or engage in abusive behavior.
Upon termination: (a) your right to access the Service ceases immediately; (b) your data remains accessible for export for 30 days; (c) after 30 days, your data is permanently deleted from our systems and backups; (d) any outstanding fees remain due. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Confidentiality, Data Ownership, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Dispute Resolution) shall survive.
TrussBooks shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, government actions, power failures, internet disruptions, or failures of third-party service providers.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted in Nueces County, Texas.
You and TrussBooks agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to hello@trussbooks.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and TrussBooks regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. TrussBooks may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
Waiver. Failure by TrussBooks to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Electronic Communications. By using the Service, you consent to receiving electronic communications from us, including transactional emails, budget alerts, approval notifications, and service announcements. You may manage notification preferences in your account settings.
We may update these terms from time to time. We will provide at least 30 days’ notice for material changes via email to the account owner. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you may cancel your account before the changes take effect.
