StoneNest Website Terms of Service
Effective date: upon adoption at launch
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the StoneNest website at stonenest.app and related pages (the "Site"), including the free online slab-count estimator (the "Estimator"). The Site is operated by StoneNest LLC, an Indiana limited liability company ("StoneNest," "we," "us").
By using the Site or the Estimator, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
The StoneNest desktop application is licensed separately under the End User License Agreement (EULA), not under these Terms.
1. Who may use the Site
Plain-English summary: the Site is for businesses and adults; don't use it if you can't form a contract.
The Site is intended for fabrication businesses and professionals. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. The Site is not directed to children.
2. The free Estimator — how it works and what it is
Plain-English summary: the Estimator runs in your own browser; your job inputs are not uploaded; and its numbers are estimates you must verify.
2.1 Runs in your browser. The Estimator computes slab-count and yield estimates client-side, in your web browser. The job data you enter — dimensions, quantities, slab size, kerf, and offset — is processed locally on your device.
2.2 Your job inputs are not transmitted to us. We do not receive, store, or transmit the job data you enter into the Estimator, except that we collect bucketed, non-identifying analytics events about Estimator usage (for example, that a run occurred and a coarse range such as slabs:"10-20"). See the Privacy Policy for details, including the analytics processor we use.
2.3 Estimates only — verify before you rely. THE ESTIMATOR PROVIDES ESTIMATES AS AN AID TO YOUR PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT. RESULTS DEPEND ON THE INPUTS YOU PROVIDE AND DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR MATERIAL DEFECTS, BREAKAGE, VEIN OR PATTERN MATCHING, SLAB DIMENSIONAL VARIANCE, OR YOUR SHOP-SPECIFIC CUTTING PRACTICES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEPENDENTLY VERIFYING ANY RESULT AND APPLYING YOUR OWN CONTINGENCY BEFORE RELYING ON IT IN ANY BID, QUOTE, MATERIAL PURCHASE, OR FABRICATION DECISION. STONENEST IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BID OUTCOMES OR MATERIAL PURCHASING DECISIONS.
2.4 Evaluation tool. The Estimator is provided free, as-is, for evaluation, and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time.
3. Email and forms
Plain-English summary: we only email you what you sign up for, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
If you submit your email through a Site form (for example, waitlist, beta access, or the Estimator full-report request), we use it for the purpose you requested and for related product updates, and you can unsubscribe at any time. See the Privacy Policy.
4. Acceptable use
Plain-English summary: use the Site normally; don't attack it, scrape it in bulk, or abuse it.
You agree not to:
4.1 scrape, crawl, or harvest the Site or the Estimator by automated means beyond ordinary browsing, or use it for bulk or automated processing;
4.2 interfere with or disrupt the Site, its security, or its infrastructure, or attempt to gain unauthorized access;
4.3 introduce malware, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site without authorization;
4.4 use the Site to infringe any third party's rights or to violate any law; or
4.5 circumvent any usage limit, rate limit, or access control.
We may suspend or limit access to protect the Site.
5. Intellectual property
Plain-English summary: the Site's content is ours; you keep your own inputs.
5.1 The Site and its content — text, graphics, logos, and software — are owned by StoneNest or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. "StoneNest" and related marks are our trademarks. Except as needed for ordinary use of the Site, you may not copy, republish, or create derivative works from Site content without permission.
5.2 You retain all rights in any job data or inputs you enter into the Estimator. Because those inputs are processed in your browser and not transmitted to us (Section 2), we claim no rights in them.
6. Purchases; the desktop app
Plain-English summary: the app is sold as a subscription through our payment processor and is governed by the EULA.
The StoneNest desktop application is sold as a subscription (with a free trial and a free Estimator Mode — an estimator-only mode of the desktop app equivalent to the web Estimator). Subscriptions and recurring billing are processed by our merchant of record, Paddle, which is the seller of record, and are governed by the EULA and Paddle's buyer terms. Paid subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and you may cancel at any time. Refunds follow the policy described in the EULA — a full refund within 30 days of your first paid charge, with subsequent periods non-refundable but cancellable anytime (no pro-ration). Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell where prohibited.
7. Third-party links
Plain-English summary: we're not responsible for sites we link to.
The Site may link to third-party sites and services (such as our payment processor). We do not control and are not responsible for their content or practices, and your use of them is governed by their terms.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
Plain-English summary: the Site and Estimator are provided "as is."
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND THE ESTIMATOR (INCLUDING ALL RESULTS) ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY ESTIMATE WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE.
9. Limitation of liability
Plain-English summary: our total liability for the free Site is capped, with no consequential damages — the same cap structure as the app.
9.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL STONENEST BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST OR UNDERPRICED BIDS, MATERIAL COSTS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THE ESTIMATOR.
9.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STONENEST'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THE ESTIMATOR WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID STONENEST (IF ANY) IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). Because the Site and Estimator are free, the $100 floor provides a real, non-illusory cap.
9.3 NOTHING HERE LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.
10. Indemnification
Plain-English summary: if your use of the Site causes a claim against us, you cover it.
You will indemnify and hold harmless StoneNest from third-party claims arising out of your use of the Site or Estimator in violation of these Terms or applicable law.
11. Governing law and disputes
Plain-English summary: Indiana law; contact us first to resolve disputes informally.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Before starting any formal proceeding, contact us at support@stonenest.app and work in good faith to resolve the dispute. The dispute-resolution and class-action-waiver approach mirrors the EULA Section 13.
12. Changes to these Terms
Plain-English summary: we may update these Terms; continued use means acceptance.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted with an updated effective date, and your continued use of the Site after that constitutes acceptance.
