Terms of use

RateCaddy is published by RateCaddy LLC. This text is identical to the Terms of use inside the app (Settings, Legal). Last updated October 7, 2026.

Agreement

RateCaddy ("the App") is published by RateCaddy LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("RateCaddy LLC", "we", "us"). By installing or using the App you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App. Questions go to support@ratecaddy.net.

A documentation tool only

The App organizes photographs, notes, schedules, and test readings that you enter, and produces exports and reports from them. It is not a substitute for your professional judgment, and it is not a certification, rating, inspection, or compliance authority. No output of the App is a determination that a home, a system, or a measure meets any requirement.

Your responsibilities

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of everything you enter; for your compliance with any energy code, standard, program, or law that applies to your work; and for the content of anything you submit to a builder, homeowner, code official, quality assurance provider, program, or anyone else, whether or not it was produced with the App. You are responsible for lawful use of the photographs and personal information you store in the App, including any consent needed to photograph a property or record a contact.

Calculations

Blower door results, duct leakage results, infiltration volumes, duct leakage grades, and code limits are computed from the values you enter and the code requirements you configure in the App. The App ships with default limits; confirming the correct limits, compliance path, and edition for your jurisdiction and program is your responsibility. We make no warranty that any calculation, checklist, report, or export satisfies any energy code, ENERGY STAR, RESNET, a Home Certification Organization, a code official, or any other requirement.

Your data

All photographs, notes, test readings, contacts, report information, measure lists, and project records you create in the App belong to you. We claim no rights to them. They are stored only on your device. We have no account for you, no server copy of your data, and no way to see or recover it.

Backups and data loss

You are responsible for keeping backups of your data using the App's export and backup features and for storing those files somewhere other than the device. Deleting the App deletes the data it stores. We are not liable for loss of data caused by loss, theft, or damage of a device, deletion of the App or its data, operating system or browser behavior, storage limits, or a failure to back up.

Subscription and free trial

The App is sold as an auto-renewing subscription through in-app purchase on the Apple App Store or Google Play, with a free trial of one month for new subscribers. The price, billing period, and renewal terms are shown in the store before you subscribe. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it through your Apple or Google account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms, not by us; we do not process payments and cannot issue refunds.

If your subscription ends

Viewing, exporting, and backing up the data already in the App always remains available, with or without a subscription. Only creating new projects requires an active subscription or trial.

License

Subject to these terms, RateCaddy LLC grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own work. The App and its design, code, icons, and text are owned by RateCaddy LLC and are protected by copyright and other laws. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, resell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the App or any part of it, remove any notice from it, or use it to violate any law or the rights of any person.

No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free or uninterrupted, that defects will be corrected, or that its calculations match every edition of every code, standard, or program.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RateCaddy LLC and its members, managers, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost profits, lost business, failed inspections, rework, fines, or compliance findings, arising from or related to the App or its outputs, even if we were told such damages were possible. Our total liability for all claims related to the App is limited to the subscription fees you paid for the App through Apple or Google in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RateCaddy LLC and its members, managers, and contractors from any claim, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from your use of the App, from anything you produce or submit with it, from data you store in it, or from your violation of these terms or of any law or third-party right.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your license if you violate these terms. You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it; back up your data first. The sections on your responsibilities, your data, no warranty, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms by including the updated terms in a new version of the App. The version line under Settings identifies the terms that apply. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms. If you do not agree, stop using the App and delete it after backing up your data.

Severability

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, that part is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of the terms remain in effect.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute related to the App will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Michigan, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
