Terms of Service

Keplerworks is a business-to-business software platform for architecture, engineering, and construction teams. By creating an account or using Keplerworks, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, your company.

The Carbon agent helps you estimate embodied carbon from uploaded IFC models, optioneer early-stage design impacts, and generate reports — not replace professional judgement on site conditions, procurement, statutory compliance, or project-specific lifecycle assessment. Defect and Resilience agents are in development; their terms will be updated before general availability.

• Indicative only. Outputs are automated estimates for early-stage workflows. They are not official carbon accounts, statutory submissions, audited environmental reports, or certified EPDs — have results checked by suitably qualified consultants before relying on them in formal contexts.
• Methodology alignment. Reporting is broadly aligned with BS EN 15978 thinking for cradle-to-grave framing where we surface A1–A3 (product stage) cradle-to-gate factors.
• Independent validation. You agree to have suitably qualified practitioners validate results before reliance in compliance, contractual, bidding, statutory, certification or investment contexts.
• Data sources and freshness. Factors are sourced from databases and programmes referenced in our Privacy Policy, refreshed periodically; older cached values may be used transiently.
• Confidence. Outputs may attach confidence indicators. Where regional verified EPD data is scarce, indicative factors or broader proxies may dominate — always cross-check locally.

Embodied carbon factors vary by geography. The Carbon agent resolves factors using the country you confirm during analysis. That choice anchors the model — it does not certify real-world procurement or logistics.

Resolution uses a configurable waterfall: richer country-level data where available, federated lookups, regional averages, and when upstream tiers omit a material bucket, defaults to embedded ICE v3.0 reference factors.

• Use for analysis only. Uploaded IFC models are transmitted to Keplerworks controlled infrastructure exclusively to analyse, assemble estimates and exports, and uphold security/operations.
• No IFC resale. We do not licence or market your IFC as a catalogue product. Remote calls to embodied carbon datasets request material / EPD class metadata only — not your building model envelope.
• Removal of source IFC after success. After a completed analysis Keplerworks ordinarily deletes the IFC file blob from application storage while preserving structured summaries detailed in our Privacy Policy.
• Tenant isolation. We do not knowingly expose firm-scoped IFC-derived records to another customer organisation.

You retain ownership of uploaded IFC models, project inputs, locally saved exports, and the substantive carbon quantities in your analysis outputs.

Keplerworks reserves rights in logos, software (including factor routing), UX assets, templates, documentation, and aggregated statistics that do not identify projects. You grant a limited licence to host, transform and analyse your content only to run, secure and improve the service.

• Keep passwords and session secrets confidential and rotate when staff leave.
• Do not attempt unauthorised intrusion, tenant hopping, scraping behind authentication, excessive automated load, knowingly malicious uploads, or infringing someone else's BIM copyright.
• Professionally scrutinise indicative carbon figures before influencing fee bids, tenders, or public carbon pledges.

Keplerworks is provided "as available". Planned maintenance or dependent cloud outages can interrupt uploads; we endeavour to restore swiftly but do not promise uninterrupted SLA metrics beyond expressly contracted enterprise orders.

Usage caps, quotas, retention windows and payable tiers appear on our Pricing page — we may revise published packages with sensible notice to billed customers consistent with Stripe subscription mechanics.

We may suspend accounts for overdue invoices, abusive traffic, or breaches of these Terms. Either party may discontinue use freely. After closure, personal data disposition follows our Privacy Policy.

To the widest extent allowable under governing law Keplerworks excludes liability for indirect losses (lost profit, lost tender, reputational diminution, delay damages, and similar).

For direct proven losses attributable to negligent breach, capped liability is the fees you paid to Keplerworks in the twelve rolling months before the assertion; if you exclusively use free allowances that cap equals GBP zero except uncapped liabilities that cannot legally be capped.

These Terms follow the substantive law of England and Wales. Courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction subject to compulsory consumer venues if you individually prove non-business use.
