By accessing or using the BuildBase TX platform in any capacity — including browsing, registering, starting a free trial, or maintaining an active subscription — you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are acting on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. These Terms may be updated at any time; continued use constitutes acceptance.
BuildBase TX aggregates and reconciles data from multiple public sources, including but not limited to:
BuildBase TX is not a municipal permit database, county appraisal roll, MLS system, or comprehensive record of all Texas construction activity. Coverage depends on what each underlying public source requires, collects, and publishes.
The following exclusions apply specifically to projects tracked through TDLR TAS registrations. Projects may appear from other public sources (for example, LIHTC applications) before, without, or in addition to a corresponding TDLR filing.
Under Texas Government Code § 469.101, only projects with an estimated cost of $50,000 or more are required to register for TAS review. Projects below this threshold are not present in TDLR TAS records. Their absence from TDLR-based coverage is a legal requirement, not a data gap.
Private single-family homes and private duplexes are not “public accommodations” or “commercial facilities” under the ADA and are outside the scope of Texas Government Code § 469.003(a). They are legally exempt from TAS registration. Their absence from TDLR TAS coverage is absolute and by operation of law.
Per Texas Government Code § 469.003(d), TDLR considers only the nonresidential portion of mixed-use buildings. BuildBase TX reflects only that nonresidential scope for TDLR-sourced records. Residential units within a mixed-use project may not appear as separate TDLR filings.
By subscribing, you acknowledge actual notice of all statutory exclusions above as they apply to TDLR TAS coverage. The absence of statutorily exempt projects from TDLR records does not constitute missing, incomplete, or deficient data and is not grounds for any claim, refund, or dispute.
BuildBase TX applies funding and program tags — including but not limited to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), HUD-assisted, and Public Construction Funding (PCF) designations — based on information available in public filings and affiliated data sources at the time of ingestion.
Tags that are present in the Platform are applied in good faith and are accurate to the best of our ability at the time of data processing. However:
Projects are categorized (e.g., multifamily, commercial, industrial, institutional) based on information in public filings. BuildBase TX does not warrant that every project is classified in the category a Subscriber would expect.
If a project is miscategorized or appears under an unexpected category:
Data reflects public records at time of ingestion. There may be delays between a filing or publication in an underlying source and its appearance in the Platform. Project details (cost, contacts, timeline) reflect source submissions and may not match final as-built conditions. BuildBase TX does not independently verify source-submitted data.
Important: BuildBase TX is a data intelligence tool, not a verification service. Always independently confirm project details before making any business decision.
BuildBase TX provides data and intelligence tools to assist Subscribers in identifying construction activity. BuildBase TX is not liable for any investment decision, bid, contract, purchase, loss of profit, loss of business, or any other business outcome arising from a Subscriber's use of or reliance on Platform data, regardless of whether that data was accurate, inaccurate, complete, incomplete, correctly tagged, or missing a tag.
Subscribers bear sole and complete responsibility for all business decisions made using the Platform. BuildBase TX makes no warranty that the data will result in business opportunities, successful bids, or profitable outcomes.
The Platform and all data are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. BuildBase TX does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BuildBase TX's total liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by Subscriber in the three (3) months preceding the claim. In no event shall BuildBase TX be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or lost data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate. You authorize BuildBase TX to charge your payment method on file.
If you do not cancel before a free trial ends, it converts to a paid subscription and your payment method is charged.
Monthly subscriptions: no refunds for partial periods. Annual subscriptions: refund requests within 7 days of initial purchase are evaluated case-by-case; no refunds after 7 days.
The following are not grounds for a refund, credit, or payment dispute:
Subscribers receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Platform for internal business purposes only. You may not resell, sublicense, or share Platform access or data; scrape or bulk-download data; use data to build a competing product; or share login credentials outside your licensed seat count.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BuildBase TX and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your breach of these Terms, or any decision you make based on Platform data.
Mandatory Arbitration. All disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, governed by Texas law, seated in Travis County, Texas.
Class Action Waiver. All claims must be brought individually. You waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration.
Time Limit. Any claim must be filed within one (1) year of when it arose or is permanently barred.
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and BuildBase TX on this subject. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. BuildBase TX may assign these Terms freely; you may not. Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.4, 10, and 11 survive termination.
