Terms of Service

Terms of Service

GC Safety Consultant · Version 2.0 · Last updated September 16, 2026 · Effective September 16, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and GC Safety Consultant ("we," "us," "our") governing your use of the GC Safety Consultant application and related websites and services (together, "the App"). Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference and explains how we handle personal information. By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" means the organization. You are responsible for all use of the App under your account, including by your personnel and anyone you authorize.

1. Eligibility and your account

You must be at least 18 years old and use the App for lawful, professional purposes. You must provide accurate and current information, keep your credentials secure, and promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether by you, your employees, or others you authorize. You must not share your login credentials with anyone else.

2. License and intellectual property

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your internal safety inspection, documentation, and reporting activities. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the App, and you may not use the App to build a competing product. The App's methods, question libraries, report and notice formats, and workflows are proprietary to GC Safety Consultant Co. (patent pending; the software is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office). You agree not to share screenshots, exports, or descriptions of the App's non-public features with a competitor or for the purpose of building a competing product.

We (and our licensors, including our AI provider and other service providers) own the App, including its software, design, text, graphics, and the underlying technology. AI-generated suggestions and other App outputs are made available to you under this license. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms.

Our trademarks, logos, and product names are our property. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use them.

3. Your content

You retain ownership of the inspections, photos, notes, signatures, and other content you create or upload ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and use Your Content solely to operate, provide, maintain, improve, and secure the App — including transmitting photos and text you submit to our AI provider when you request a scan or review, and sharing data with the service providers described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use Your Content to train our or our AI provider's models.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights and authorizations necessary to submit Your Content, including any consents required from individuals whose images, signatures, or information appear in Your Content, and that Your Content does not violate any law or any third-party right (including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights). You are responsible for retaining copies of Your Content and any records you are required by law or contract to maintain. We are not a records repository, and you agree to maintain your own copies of inspection records, JHAs, and compliance documentation.

Deletion, Recycle Bin, and recovery

When you delete an inspection, report, or other record, it moves to your Recycle Bin, where you can restore it yourself for 30 days. After 30 days, or if you choose "delete permanently," the record is removed from your account. To protect against accidental or unauthorized loss of safety records — which occupational safety regulations may require you to retain (for example, OSHA recordkeeping rules under 29 C.F.R. Part 1904 require certain records be kept for five years) — we keep a secure, access-restricted backup copy of permanently deleted records for five (5) years from the date of permanent deletion. During that period, an authorized representative of your organization (an Enterprise Owner or Company Admin) may request restoration by contacting safety@gcsafetyconsultant.com. Restorations are performed only by GC Safety Consultant platform administrators, only on such a request, and every restoration is logged with the requester's identity and date. After five years, backup copies are permanently and irreversibly deleted. If you require earlier permanent destruction of specific records (for example, to satisfy a legal obligation), contact us and we will accommodate the request where the law permits.

Organizations (Enterprise)

If your account belongs to an organization, inspections you file under that organization's projects belong to the organization: its Company Admins may view, reassign, brand, export, and manage them and may remove your access to the organization. Inspections you file outside an organization's projects remain yours. GC Safety Consultant platform staff can see organization and account metadata and the recovery backup described above, but do not view your live inspection content in the course of ordinary operations.

Integrations

When you connect a third-party system such as Procore — or your organization connects it on your behalf — the App transmits inspection data to that system only when you, or an authorized user in your organization, choose to push it. Your use of the third-party system is governed by its own terms, and we are not responsible for how it stores or uses the data once delivered.

AI features

Photo scans, suggested hazards, observations, closing summaries, and similar outputs are advisory drafts generated by an automated model and may be incomplete or wrong. You are responsible for reviewing, correcting, and confirming every finding before relying on it or sending it to anyone, consistent with Section 5.

4. Recordkeeping and compliance responsibility

Workplace safety, health, and employment laws — including federal OSHA requirements and state and local equivalents, and recordkeeping rules such as 29 C.F.R. Part 1904 — may require you to create, retain, post, or produce records, and to provide access to employees and their representatives. The App is a tool to help you document your work; it does not automatically satisfy any legal obligation, and you remain solely responsible for: (a) determining which records and practices apply to your operations and the Authority Having Jurisdiction; (b) maintaining complete and accurate records, including copies independent of the App; (c) providing required notices, training, and access; and (d) complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards.

5. Safety, compliance, and "no professional relationship" disclaimer

The App is a documentation and productivity tool. It is not a substitute for professional safety judgment, a qualified or "competent person," a certified safety professional (CSP/CHST), an industrial hygienist, an attorney, an engineer, or a compliance audit, and it is not an emergency response, alarm, or alerting system. If you are facing an imminent hazard or emergency, contact local emergency services (e.g., 911) immediately; do not rely on the App.

AI hazard suggestions, OSHA and consensus-standard citations, auto-generated comments, and document reviews are advisory only, are produced by automated systems, may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, and must be independently verified against the current published regulations, the applicable Site-Specific Safety Plan, manufacturer requirements, and the Authority Having Jurisdiction before you rely on them. They are not legal advice, and they do not guarantee compliance with any statute, regulation, standard, code, or contractual requirement.

Using the App does not create a professional-client, consulting, engineering, or advisory relationship between you and us. You are solely responsible for all safety decisions, inspections, corrective actions, regulatory compliance, and the accuracy and completeness of your reports. We do not warrant that use of the App will ensure regulatory compliance, satisfy any legal duty, or prevent injury, illness, death, property damage, or citation.

6. Assumption of risk

Safety inspection and construction, industrial, maritime, agricultural, and tree-care work are inherently hazardous. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks arising from your work and from your use of, or reliance on, the App and its outputs, and you agree that we are not responsible for those risks.

7. Subscriptions, trials, and billing

8. Acceptable use

You will not misuse the App, including by:

9. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services, including Supabase, Vercel, Anthropic, Stripe, and weather providers, and may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the availability, content, security, or practices of those third parties, and your use of their services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not liable for any acts or omissions of those third parties.

10. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the App, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or obligation to you.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time (Profile → Delete account). We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, for violation of these Terms, for nonpayment, or to protect the security or integrity of the App or its users. Upon termination, your license ends, and we may delete Your Content in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, assumption of risk, indemnification, limitations of liability, arbitration, and governing law — will survive.

12. Disclaimers of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that AI outputs or citations will be accurate, complete, up to date, or compliant with any regulation or standard. You assume all risk for results obtained from the App. Nothing in this section limits or excludes warranties that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our owners, officers, personnel, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business, or for any personal injury, illness, death, property damage, regulatory action, fine, or citation arising from or related to your work, the App, or any reliance on the App or its AI outputs — whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.

14. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GC Safety Consultant and its owners, officers, personnel, and service providers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App; (b) Your Content, including claims that it infringes a third party's rights or violates privacy, publicity, biometric, or other laws; (c) your work or worksites, safety decisions, or records; or (d) your violation of these Terms or any law or regulation.

15. Beta / pre-release

Portions of the App may be offered on a beta or pre-release basis and may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued at any time. Beta features are provided "as is," may contain errors, and should not be solely relied upon. Invited beta testers and users of demonstration accounts may be asked to accept a separate non-disclosure agreement, which, if accepted in the App, is incorporated into these Terms for those users.

16. Governing law and disputes

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Informal resolution

Before initiating any proceeding, you agree to contact us at safety@gcsafetyconsultant.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for 30 days.

Arbitration

Except for the exceptions below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be finally resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules if you are an individual using the App for personal purposes, and otherwise under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, in each case as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted in Hillsborough County, Florida, before a single arbitrator, in English. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Class action waiver

All claims must be brought in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, or the security of the App. If the arbitration provision is found unenforceable in whole or in part, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any court proceeding will be the state and federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, to which you and we consent.

Opt-out

You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing safety@gcsafetyconsultant.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other term of these Terms.

17. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notice in the App or by other means. Continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
