Terms of Service

1. Agreement to terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Ocino Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), governing your access to and use of the AbodeIQ platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes via email or an in-app notice.

2. Description of the Service

AbodeIQ is an address-intelligence platform that aggregates publicly available and third-party-licensed data to provide information about U.S. properties, including but not limited to: short-term rental (STR) regulatory status, hazard zone classifications, school district information, neighborhood characteristics, environmental data, and property-tax assessments.

The Service is designed as a research and due-diligence tool to assist users in gathering information relevant to real estate investment decisions. It is not a substitute for professional legal, financial, tax, environmental, engineering, or real estate advice.

3. No professional advice — critical limitation

THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TAX, REAL ESTATE, ENVIRONMENTAL, INSURANCE, OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

All information presented through the Service is for general informational and research purposes only. Nothing in the Service or these Terms constitutes or should be construed as legal advice, financial advice, investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any security or real property, or an endorsement of any particular investment strategy.

You should consult qualified, licensed professionals — including but not limited to licensed real estate attorneys, certified financial advisors, licensed real estate agents, registered insurance agents, environmental consultants, and tax professionals — before making any investment, regulatory compliance, or property-related decisions.

Ocino Ventures LLC expressly disclaims any liability arising from your reliance on the information provided through the Service as a substitute for professional advice.

4. Data accuracy and limitations

The Service aggregates data from multiple third-party sources, including but not limited to: federal government agencies (FEMA, U.S. Census Bureau, EPA, USGS), state and local government records, commercial data providers, and curated datasets maintained by our editorial team. While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and current information, we make no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose of any information provided through the Service.

Specifically, but without limitation:

• Short-term rental regulations change frequently. Local ordinances, ballot initiatives, enforcement policies, and judicial interpretations may render published information outdated within days of our last update. It is your sole responsibility to independently verify current regulations with the relevant governmental authority before acting.
• Hazard zone designations (flood, fire, earthquake, etc.) represent historical or modeled data and do not predict future events. Actual hazard conditions may differ materially.
• School ratings and district boundaries are subject to change and may not reflect current conditions.
• Property-tax data is sourced from county assessors and third-party providers and may not reflect pending reassessments, exemptions, or appeals.
• Environmental data is based on publicly reported information and does not constitute a Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessment.

We are not responsible for any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in third-party data, nor for any updates or changes to such data that have not yet been reflected in the Service.

5. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL OCINO VENTURES LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF OCINO VENTURES LLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (USD $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE; (B) THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE; (C) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; OR (D) ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED.

7. User responsibilities

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you:

• Are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.
• Will use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account, without prior notice, that we determine in our sole discretion is being used abusively, in violation of these Terms, or in a manner that places excessive load on our systems or upstream data providers.

8. Subscription, fees, and refunds

Access to certain features of the Service requires a paid subscription. By subscribing, you agree to pay all applicable fees as disclosed at the time of purchase. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as expressly required by applicable law.

Monthly subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. Annual subscriptions commit you to one (1) year of access and renew automatically unless cancelled. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid period; you will retain access through that period.

We reserve the right to modify our pricing with reasonable notice. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Free trial periods, where offered, are limited to one (1) per customer. We reserve the right to verify trial eligibility and to terminate trial access for accounts we reasonably believe are misusing the trial offering.
