Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-15 Effective: 2026-05-15

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between Live a Little Enterprises, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company doing business as BeBuilt ("bebuilt," "we," "us") and the individual or entity subscribing to the Service ("Member," "you"). By clicking "subscribe," completing checkout, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company.

1.1 Business use only. The Service is offered for business and commercial use only. By subscribing, Member represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Service in the course of its trade or business and not as a "consumer" within the meaning of any consumer-protection statute. Member agrees not to use the Service for personal, family, or household purposes.

2. Definitions

• Service — bebuilt's subscription-based engineering service, including intake, queueing, building, and delivering software, AI integrations, and related work.
• Request — a single discrete unit of work submitted by a Member through bebuilt's intake channels (Slack, email, or other agreed-on channels).
• Deliverables — the source code, configurations, documentation, and other tangible work product produced by bebuilt for a Member in response to Requests.
• Subscription Fee — the recurring monthly fee for access to the Service, as displayed at checkout.
• Add-On Services — additional services bebuilt offers alongside the subscription (such as hosting and AI inference usage), priced at bebuilt's published rates as described in Section 5 and itemized in Schedule A.

3. Subscription, Billing & Cancellation

3.1 Monthly subscription. The Service is sold as a recurring monthly subscription. The Subscription Fee is charged in advance on the day you subscribe and on the same day of each subsequent month (the "Billing Date"). All fees are in U.S. Dollars and non-refundable except as set out in Section 3.4 or as required by applicable law.

3.2 Pause. You may pause your subscription at any time from your account or by written request. While paused, no new Requests will be worked, and no Subscription Fee will be charged for full billing periods spent in a paused state. Pause does not extend access to past Deliverables, which remain yours under Section 7.

3.3 Cancel. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period; you retain Service access through that period. We do not pro-rate partial months.

3.4 7-day refund. If you cancel within seven (7) calendar days of your first Subscription Fee charge, we will refund that first payment in full, no questions asked. This refund applies only to the first month and only to new Members.

3.5 Add-On Services are not refundable. Amounts billed for Add-On Services under Section 5 reflect services already provided or capacity already provisioned and are non-refundable regardless of cancellation.

3.6 Failed payments. If a payment fails, we will retry per our payment processor's standard schedule. If payment remains unpaid more than seven (7) days after the Billing Date, we may suspend or terminate the Service.

3.7 Price changes. We may change the Subscription Fee with at least thirty (30) days' written notice. The new price applies to existing Members on their next Billing Date following the notice period. If you do not agree, you may cancel under Section 3.3 before that date.

4. Scope of Service

4.1 What's included. Subject to these Terms and your active subscription, bebuilt will:

• Accept Requests through agreed channels.
• Work Requests in queued order, exercising reasonable professional judgment on sequencing and approach.
• Deliver completed Requests with reasonable promptness. The "48-hour" timeline referenced in marketing means a target turnaround of approximately two (2) business days, measured from the time bebuilt has the inputs and access it needs to start work. It is a target average, not a guaranteed delivery time for any individual Request, and excludes weekends, U.S. federal holidays, and time spent waiting on Member cooperation under Section 6.1.
• Provide unlimited revisions to Deliverables to align them with the original Request scope, at no extra Subscription Fee charge.

4.2 One active Request at a time. Members may queue an unlimited number of Requests, but bebuilt typically works one Request per Member at a time. For clarity, "unlimited requests" refers to the number Member may submit and queue; bebuilt will work them in queued order, one Request at a time, unless otherwise agreed. Multiple parallel workstreams are subject to capacity and may require an additional subscription seat or upgraded plan.

4.3 Out of scope. The Subscription Fee does not cover, and bebuilt may decline or quote separately for:

• Work that requires specialized licensure (legal, medical, financial advice).
• Hardware procurement.
• Long-running operations work (incident response, 24/7 oncall, SLAs).
• Bulk content production (e.g., writing 1,000 blog posts).
• Work that would violate Section 9 (Acceptable Use).
• Work for which the Member has not granted bebuilt necessary access or credentials.

4.4 Revisions vs. new Requests. Changes that materially alter the goal or scope of a delivered Request constitute a new Request and re-enter the queue.

4.5 Fair use. bebuilt reserves the right to apply reasonable fair-use limits where a Member's request volume materially exceeds typical Member behavior in a manner that interferes with bebuilt's ability to serve other Members. bebuilt will notify Member before applying any limit and offer to discuss an upgraded plan if appropriate.

5. Add-On Services

5.1 What Add-On Services are. The Subscription Fee covers bebuilt's labor and capacity to build Deliverables. It does not cover the ongoing services required to run those Deliverables in production — most notably hosted infrastructure and AI inference usage. bebuilt offers these as Add-On Services, priced at bebuilt's published rates as set out in Schedule A. Add-On Services are independent of, and billed in addition to, the Subscription Fee.

5.2 Current Add-On Services. The Add-On Services currently offered, and their rates, are itemized in Schedule A — Add-On Services, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

5.3 How they're billed. Add-On Services are itemized on a monthly invoice or statement, billed on the next Billing Date following the period in which the service was provided, and charged to the payment method on file alongside the Subscription Fee. Usage-based Add-On Services (such as AI inference) are billed based on actual usage during the prior billing period.

5.4 Bebuilt-set pricing. Add-On Service rates are set by bebuilt and published in Schedule A. The rates in Schedule A are bebuilt's prices to Member; they are not pass-through, reimbursement, or "at cost" amounts, and bebuilt is under no obligation to disclose its underlying costs, margins, or supplier arrangements.

5.5 Rate changes. bebuilt may change Add-On Service rates with at least thirty (30) days' written notice (email is sufficient). The new rate applies on the next Billing Date following the notice period. If Member does not agree to a rate change, Member may discontinue the affected Add-On Service or cancel the subscription under Section 3.3 before the new rate takes effect.

5.6 New Add-On Services. bebuilt may add new Add-On Services (e.g., new monitoring tools, specialized APIs, integrations) by updating Schedule A. New Add-On Services take effect thirty (30) days after written notice and apply prospectively only. Member is not obligated to use any new Add-On Service, but Deliverables that require an Add-On Service may not function without it.

5.7 Material new charges require approval. Any single new Add-On Service projected to add more than $250 per month to Member's invoice requires Member's express written approval (email is sufficient) before bebuilt begins billing for it.

5.8 Member-held alternatives. At bebuilt's discretion, bebuilt may agree to operate Deliverables on infrastructure or AI provider accounts owned and paid for directly by the Member, in which case the corresponding Add-On Service fee will not apply. bebuilt may decline to support Member-held accounts where doing so would, in bebuilt's reasonable judgment, impair the Service. Member is solely responsible for funding and maintaining any Member-held account.

5.9 Reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. Separately from Add-On Services, bebuilt may from time to time incur specific out-of-pocket costs at Member's direction (e.g., a domain registration requested by Member). Such expenses will be itemized, billed at the actual amount bebuilt paid, and pre-approved by Member if reasonably expected to exceed $100.

5.10 Disputes. Member must notify bebuilt in writing of any disputed Add-On Service charge within fourteen (14) days of the invoice on which it appears, identifying the line item and the basis for dispute. The parties will work in good faith to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days. Disputed amounts remain due pending resolution but will not accrue late fees during the dispute period. Failure to provide notice within the 14-day window waives Member's right to dispute that charge.

5.11 Service continuity. If Member's payment method on file fails for Add-On Service charges and the failure is not cured within seven (7) days of bebuilt's written notice, bebuilt may suspend or terminate the affected Add-On Services. bebuilt is not obligated to continue operating infrastructure or AI services for which Member has not paid.

6. Delivery, Cooperation & Access

6.1 Member cooperation. Timely delivery depends on you. You agree to provide reasonable access to systems, accounts, repositories, brand assets, and decision-makers needed for the Request. Time spent waiting on Member cooperation does not count against any delivery target.

6.2 Credentials. You are responsible for the security of credentials you share. We will treat credentials with reasonable care and use them only to perform the Service. We recommend scoped, revocable credentials wherever possible.

6.3 Acceptance. Deliverables are deemed accepted upon delivery unless you raise specific, scope-aligned revision requests within fourteen (14) days. Revision requests stop the acceptance clock for the items raised.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Member ownership of Deliverables. Upon delivery, bebuilt assigns to the Member all right, title, and interest in and to each Deliverable, subject to Section 7.2 and to the conditional reverter described in this Section 7.1. This is the legal mechanism behind "you keep everything." The assignment is conditional: if Member's account becomes more than sixty (60) days past due on any amount properly owed (excluding amounts under dispute under Section 5.10), the assignment of any Deliverables produced during that unpaid period reverts to bebuilt until Member cures the delinquency, at which point assignment is restored automatically. For the avoidance of doubt, Deliverables produced during any period for which the Subscription Fee was paid in full are owned by Member regardless of the status of any later billing period.

7.2 bebuilt's pre-existing IP and tools. bebuilt retains ownership of (a) its pre-existing code, libraries, internal tools, processes, methodologies, prompts, templates, and know-how, and (b) generally applicable improvements, generalizations, or non-Member-specific learnings derived in the course of providing the Service, provided that nothing in this Section 7.2 permits bebuilt to use, retain, or disclose Member's Confidential Information except as permitted under Section 8. To the extent any such pre-existing or generally applicable IP is embedded in a Deliverable, bebuilt grants the Member a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify, and distribute that IP solely as part of the Deliverable.

7.3 Third-party components. Deliverables may incorporate open-source or commercially licensed third-party components. Those components remain governed by their own licenses, which bebuilt will identify on reasonable request.

7.4 Member-provided materials. You retain ownership of all materials, data, and content you provide to bebuilt. You grant bebuilt a limited license to use those materials solely to perform the Service.

7.5 Portfolio rights. Unless you ask us in writing not to, bebuilt may describe the general nature of the work performed (e.g., "built an AI receptionist for a law firm") in case studies, portfolio, and marketing — without disclosing Confidential Information, proprietary code, or identifying details unless you separately approve.

8. Confidentiality

8.1 Mutual obligation. Each party may receive Confidential Information from the other in the course of the Service. Each party agrees to (a) use the other's Confidential Information only to perform or benefit from the Service, (b) protect it with at least the same care it uses for its own confidential information (and not less than reasonable care), and (c) not disclose it to third parties except to employees, contractors, and subprocessors who need to know and are bound by comparable obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, bebuilt will not submit Member's Confidential Information to any third-party AI service whose terms permit the provider to use submitted content to train general-purpose models.

8.2 What's not Confidential. Information that is or becomes public other than through a breach of these Terms, was already known without obligation, is independently developed, or is rightfully received from a third party without obligation, is not Confidential Information.

8.3 Compelled disclosure. Either party may disclose Confidential Information if legally compelled, after giving the other party reasonable prior notice where lawful.

8.4 Term. Confidentiality obligations survive termination for three (3) years, or indefinitely for trade secrets.

9. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service, and may not submit Requests for, work that:

• Violates applicable law or third-party rights.
• Is intended to harass, defame, or harm individuals, including non-consensual content.
• Develops malware, spyware, surveillance tools, credential-harvesting tools, or unauthorized intrusion tools.
• Generates content sexualizing minors, or other content prohibited by law.
• Circumvents security, rate limits, or authentication of third-party systems without authorization.
• Builds for sanctioned entities or in violation of U.S. export controls.

bebuilt may refuse, pause, or terminate work that, in our reasonable judgment, falls within this section, without refund of fees attributable to that work.

Member represents and warrants that neither Member nor any of its affiliates is (a) on a U.S. sanctions list (including the Specially Designated Nationals list maintained by OFAC) or (b) located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions.

10. AI Outputs — Important Disclaimers

10.1 Nature of AI. Many Deliverables incorporate large language models, embeddings, and other probabilistic AI systems. AI outputs can be inaccurate, fabricated ("hallucinated"), biased, or inconsistent. They should be reviewed and validated before being relied upon, especially in any context involving legal, medical, financial, safety-critical, or regulated decisions.

10.2 No reliance for regulated decisions. You agree not to rely on Deliverables as a sole or primary basis for decisions in domains requiring professional licensure or regulatory compliance without independent qualified human review.

10.3 Provider terms apply. Where Deliverables use third-party AI services (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), those services are subject to their own terms, acceptable-use policies, and data-handling practices. You are responsible for complying with them with respect to inputs and outputs you control.

11. Warranties & Disclaimers

11.1 Mutual. Each party represents it has authority to enter into these Terms and will comply with applicable law in performing under them.

11.2 bebuilt service warranty. bebuilt will perform the Service in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with prevailing industry standards. As your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, bebuilt will re-perform the affected work at no additional Subscription Fee charge.

11.3 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.2, THE SERVICE AND ALL DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BEBUILT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. BEBUILT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR DELIVERABLES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VULNERABILITIES OR THAT AI OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE. BEBUILT DOES NOT OFFER SERVICE-LEVEL COMMITMENTS, UPTIME GUARANTEES, OR SERVICE CREDITS.

11.4 Beta and pre-release features. bebuilt may offer features, integrations, or Deliverables identified as "beta," "preview," "experimental," or similar ("Beta Features"). Beta Features are provided AS IS, are not covered by Section 11.2, may be modified or discontinued at any time, and are not recommended for production use. bebuilt's total liability for Beta Features is limited to $100 in the aggregate, separate from and in addition to the cap in Section 12.2.

12. Limitation of Liability

12.1 Excluded damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12.2 Cap. EACH PARTY'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY MEMBER TO BEBUILT (EXCLUDING ADD-ON SERVICE FEES AND REIMBURSABLE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES) IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

12.3 Super-cap for certain claims. Notwithstanding Section 12.2, each party's total cumulative liability for (a) breach of Section 8 (Confidentiality), (b) breach of Section 9 (Acceptable Use), (c) indemnification obligations under Section 13, and (d) infringement or misappropriation of the other party's intellectual property shall not exceed two (2) times the cap in Section 12.2. The exclusions and caps in this Section 12 do not apply to (i) liabilities that cannot be limited under applicable law, or (ii) Member's payment obligations.

12.4 Basis of the bargain. The parties acknowledge that the limitations in this Section 12 are a fundamental basis of the bargain reflected in the Subscription Fee.

13. Indemnification

13.1 By Member. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless bebuilt from and against third-party claims arising out of (a) your use of Deliverables in violation of these Terms or applicable law, (b) materials or instructions you provided, or (c) your breach of Section 9.

13.2 By bebuilt. bebuilt will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Member from and against third-party claims alleging that the Deliverables, as delivered and used in accordance with these Terms, infringe a third party's U.S. copyright or U.S. registered trademark. This obligation does not apply to claims arising from (i) Member-provided materials, (ii) modifications to Deliverables not made by bebuilt, (iii) use of Deliverables in combination with materials not provided by bebuilt where the claim would not arise but for that combination, (iv) open-source or third-party components governed by their own licenses, or (v) AI outputs.

If a Deliverable is found, or in bebuilt's reasonable opinion is likely to be found, to infringe under this Section 13.2, bebuilt may at its option and expense (1) modify the Deliverable to be non-infringing while preserving substantially equivalent functionality, (2) procure for Member the right to continue using the Deliverable, or (3) refund the fees Member paid for the affected Deliverable in the prior twelve (12) months and terminate Member's right to use it. The foregoing states bebuilt's entire liability and Member's exclusive remedy for infringement claims under this Section 13.2.

13.3 Procedure. The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party of the claim, give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement (provided no settlement may impose non-monetary obligations on the indemnified party without consent), and provide reasonable cooperation.

14. Term & Termination

14.1 Term. These Terms begin on your first subscription and continue until terminated.

14.2 Termination for convenience. Either party may terminate at any time by canceling per Section 3.3 (Member) or by thirty (30) days' written notice (bebuilt).

14.3 Termination for cause. Either party may terminate immediately if the other materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure within fifteen (15) days of written notice.

14.4 Effect of termination. On termination: (a) Member's access to the Service ends at the end of the paid period, (b) on Member's written request within thirty (30) days of termination, bebuilt will deliver to Member any then-existing Deliverables or work-in-progress in their then-current state, with no warranty as to completeness; after thirty (30) days bebuilt may delete or archive such materials in the ordinary course, (c) each party will return or delete the other's Confidential Information on reasonable request, and (d) accrued payment obligations survive.

14.5 Survival. Sections 5.3 (billing of accrued Add-On Service charges), 5.10 (Disputes), 7 (IP), 8 (Confidentiality), 10 (AI Outputs), 11 (Disclaimers), 12 (Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 14.5 (Survival), 16 (Governing Law), and 17 (Miscellaneous) survive termination.

15. Modifications to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes take effect thirty (30) days after we post the updated Terms and notify you (email to the address on file is sufficient). Non-material changes (typos, clarifications, address updates) may take effect immediately. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept, your sole remedy is to cancel under Section 3.3.

Examples of material changes include increases to the Subscription Fee, increases to Add-On Service rates, addition of new mandatory Add-On Services, changes to the limitation of liability or indemnification obligations, and changes to dispute resolution. Examples of non-material changes include corrections of typographical errors, updated contact information, and addition of clarifying examples that do not change substantive obligations.

16. Governing Law & Disputes

16.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

16.2 Venue for non-arbitrable matters. For any claim that is not subject to arbitration under Section 16.5 (including the carveouts in Section 16.5(a)-(b) and any claim covered by a valid opt-out under Section 16.6), the state and federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.

16.3 Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through direct discussion for at least thirty (30) days after written notice of the dispute.

16.4 No class actions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party waives any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action against the other arising from or related to these Terms.

16.5 Binding arbitration. Except for (a) claims for injunctive or equitable relief regarding intellectual property or confidentiality, and (b) small-claims court matters, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved under Section 16.3 will be resolved by final, binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted in Kansas City, Missouri (or remotely by mutual agreement) before a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees except as the arbitrator otherwise awards under applicable law. The class-action waiver in Section 16.4 is an essential part of this arbitration provision; if the waiver is held unenforceable as to any claim, then this Section 16.5 is null and void as to that claim and that claim will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 16.2.

16.6 30-day opt-out. Member may opt out of Section 16.5 (Binding Arbitration) by sending a written opt-out notice to brandon@livealittleventures.com within thirty (30) days of first becoming a Member. The notice must include Member's name, account email, and a clear statement of intent to opt out. Opting out has no effect on any other provision of these Terms.

17. Miscellaneous

17.1 Independent contractors. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship.

17.2 No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms are for the parties' sole benefit.

17.3 Assignment. Neither party may assign these Terms without the other's prior written consent, except that either party may assign to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets, with notice to the other party.

17.4 Notices. Notices to bebuilt must be sent to brandon@livealittleventures.com or by mail to Live a Little Enterprises, LLC, 19 E Winthrope Rd, Kansas City, MO 64113. Notices to Member will be sent to the email on file.

17.5 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures due to events beyond its reasonable control (natural disasters, acts of war, labor disputes, government action, internet or third-party provider outages).

17.6 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

17.7 Waiver. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.

17.8 Entire agreement. These Terms (including Schedule A and any signed addenda or order forms) are the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements on the subject.

17.9 Order of precedence. In the event of a conflict: (1) a signed, mutually executed addendum or order form, (2) these Terms, (3) Schedule A, (4) marketing materials.

17.10 Electronic signature. You agree that clicking "subscribe" or completing checkout constitutes your electronic signature and binds you to these Terms, in accordance with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and the Missouri Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

17.11 Privacy Policy and Data Processing. Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. For Members processing personal data of EU, UK, or other regulated data subjects, a Data Processing Addendum is available on request at brandon@livealittleventures.com.
