BuildrBay

Terms of Use

Effective October 16, 2026 · Version 1.0

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and BuildrBay ("BuildrBay", "we", "us"), operated from Missouri, United States. They cover the BuildrBay website at https://buildrbay.com and the BuildrBay iPhone app (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Who can use BuildrBay

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you. Give accurate information when you sign up and keep your account details up to date.

2. Your account

You are responsible for your account and for what happens under it. Keep your password private, use a strong one, and tell us at contact@buildrbay.com if you think someone else is using your account. One person per account. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile > Delete account) or on the website (Manage > Edit profile > Delete account).

3. What BuildrBay is

BuildrBay lets you keep records of your car builds (parts, costs, labor, maintenance, mileage, photos), share them, and talk with other builders. Everything about a build is information you or others enter. We don't check it for accuracy, and it is not professional, mechanical, safety, legal or financial advice.

Vehicle safety. Modifying and repairing vehicles can be dangerous and may be regulated where you live (for example emissions and safety rules). You are responsible for how you work on and use your vehicles, and for following the law. Don't rely on information from other users, including parts lists and tips, without checking it yourself.

4. Community rules (zero tolerance for objectionable content)

You are responsible for everything you post: profile information, photos, build details, messages, forum posts, comments and support messages ("Your Content"). There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior on BuildrBay. You must not post, send or share anything that:

  • harasses, bullies, threatens, stalks or intimidates anyone;
  • is hateful or demeaning toward people because of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age or similar traits;
  • is sexually explicit, or sexualizes minors in any way (which we report to the authorities);
  • promotes violence, self-harm, illegal activity, or dangerous acts;
  • is spam, a scam, a fake offer or a misleading ad, or tries to take people off BuildrBay to pay elsewhere;
  • impersonates another person or business, or misrepresents who you are;
  • shares someone else's private information (including their address, phone number or photos) without their permission;
  • infringes copyright, trademarks or other rights;
  • contains malware, or attempts to access accounts or data that aren't yours, scrape the Service, or bypass its limits or security.

Reporting. Every post, comment, message, build and profile can be reported from the app and the website. You can also block people so they can't contact you or see your profile.

What we do. We review reports promptly and act on them. We may remove content, hide a build or post, limit features, suspend or permanently remove an account, and report illegal activity to the authorities, with or without notice. If you think we made a mistake, email contact@buildrbay.com and we will take another look. We aren't required to monitor everything, and we are not responsible for content posted by users.

5. Your content and our license

You keep ownership of Your Content. You give BuildrBay a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, display and distribute Your Content only as needed to run and improve the Service and to show it to the people you choose. For example, if you publish a build, we display it to other users; if you send a message, we deliver it. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups for a short time and content other people have already copied or quoted.

Sharing is your choice. Anyone who has a build's share code or link can view it. Published builds can be seen by every signed-in user. Choose your sharing settings carefully, and don't share anything you want kept private.

You promise that you have the right to post Your Content and that it follows these Terms.

6. Our rights

BuildrBay, its name, logo, design and software belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app and website as intended. You may not copy, reverse engineer, resell or interfere with the Service, or use it to build a competing service.

Copyright complaints. If you believe content on BuildrBay infringes your copyright, email contact@buildrbay.com with the details and we will respond under the law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

7. Paid plans

Some features and limits depend on your plan. Where paid plans are offered, they are billed by our payment provider (Stripe), renew until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time so it doesn't renew. Plan limits (for example the number of cars or photos) apply however you reach the Service.

8. Email and notifications

We send account emails (sign-in codes, security notices, replies to your messages to us). Messages and notifications from other people appear in the Service. You can control optional notifications in your settings.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using BuildrBay at any time and delete your account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, put others at risk, or if the law requires it. Sections that by their nature should continue (for example 4 to 6 and 10 to 13) continue after your account ends.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will be uninterrupted, error free or secure, or that information on it is accurate, and we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Back up anything you can't afford to lose.

11. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, BuildrBay and the people who run it are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, or for any harm arising from your vehicles, your modifications, or other users' content or conduct. Our total liability to you for any claim about the Service is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

12. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in Missouri have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either of us may seek urgent relief in any court.

13. Changes and general terms

We may update these Terms. If a change matters, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and the version and effective date above will change. Using the Service after the change means you accept it. If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a term isn't a waiver. You may not transfer your account or these Terms without our consent. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Service.

14. Contact

Questions, reports or appeals: contact@buildrbay.com, or see the Contact page.

Added terms for the iPhone app

These apply to the BuildrBay iPhone app and prevail over the rest if they conflict.

  1. Between you and us, not Apple. These Terms are between you and BuildrBay only. Apple Inc. ("Apple") is not a party and isn't responsible for the app or its content.
  2. Scope of license. You get a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the Apple Media Services Terms and the Usage Rules.
  3. Maintenance and support. We alone are responsible for providing support and maintenance. Apple has no obligation to do so. You can reach us at contact@buildrbay.com.
  4. Warranty. If the app doesn't meet a warranty that applies, you may tell Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any). To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation about the app. We are responsible for any other claims, losses or costs from a failure to meet a warranty.
  5. Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for your or anyone's claims about the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
  6. Intellectual property. If a third party claims the app infringes their rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending and settling that claim.
  7. Legal compliance. You confirm you are not in a country under a US embargo or listed as a restricted party, and that you follow third-party terms (for example your mobile carrier's) when using the app.
  8. Developer contact. BuildrBay, contact@buildrbay.com.
  9. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you once you accept them.
