Terms of Service

By accessing or using the Abode Cost Segregation website, platform, tools, or services (collectively, the “Service”), you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Everden LLC, operating as Abode Cost Segregation (“Abode,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify registered users of material changes via email at least 30 days before they take effect.

Abode provides AI-powered cost segregation studies for residential rental and short-term rental (STR) investment properties. The Service generates reports that classify property components into IRS depreciation categories based on information provided by the User and publicly available property data.

The Service is a software tool that generates informational and educational reports. Abode is not a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firm, engineering firm, tax advisory firm, or law firm. The Service does not provide tax advice, legal advice, financial advice, or professional engineering services. No CPA-client, attorney-client, or other professional-client relationship is created by your use of the Service.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of all information you provide to Abode, including but not limited to: property address, purchase price, purchase year, property characteristics, Airbnb listing URL, and any other data submitted through the Service.

You represent and warrant that:

• All information you provide is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge;
• You have the legal right and authority to provide such information;
• You are the owner or authorized representative of the property for which the study is requested;
• You will not provide false, misleading, or fraudulent information;
• You understand that the accuracy of the study output is directly dependent on the accuracy of the information you provide.

Abode relies on User-provided data and publicly available property information to generate its reports. We do not independently verify, audit, or physically inspect any property or data submitted by Users. Any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the data you provide may result in an inaccurate study.

THE SERVICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE TAX ADVICE, LEGAL ADVICE, FINANCIAL ADVICE, ACCOUNTING ADVICE, OR ENGINEERING SERVICES. ALL REPORTS, ESTIMATES, SAVINGS CALCULATIONS, AND STUDY OUTPUTS ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You should consult with a qualified Certified Public Accountant (CPA), tax attorney, or other licensed tax professional before making any tax decisions based on the Service output;
• You are solely responsible for determining how to use the information provided by the Service in your tax filings;
• Tax laws and regulations are subject to change and vary by federal, state, and local jurisdiction;
• Abode makes no guarantees regarding IRS acceptance of any study or the tax savings you may or may not realize;
• The Service is a tool to assist you and your tax professional — it is not a substitute for professional tax advice;
• No CPA-client, attorney-client, or other professional relationship is created between you and Abode.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVERDEN LLC (D/B/A ABODE COST SEGREGATION), ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, TAX SAVINGS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

• Your use of or inability to use the Service;
• Any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the study output, whether caused by User-provided data or the Service's analysis;
• Any IRS audit, tax assessment, penalty, interest, or adverse tax outcome arising from or related to the use of the Service;
• Any reliance on the Service output without independent verification by a qualified tax professional;
• Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your data;
• Any changes in tax law, IRS regulations, or depreciation rules that affect the applicability of a study.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ABODE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO ABODE FOR THE SPECIFIC STUDY GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THIS CAP APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU OR YOUR PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO AN IRS AUDIT, TAX EXAMINATION, OR ANY GOVERNMENT INQUIRY RELATED TO A COST SEGREGATION STUDY GENERATED BY THE SERVICE:

• Abode is not responsible for defending you in any audit or tax proceeding;
• Abode does not provide audit defense, representation, or support unless separately agreed to in writing;
• The accuracy of the study is contingent upon the accuracy of the information you provided;
• Abode makes no warranty or guarantee that any study will withstand IRS scrutiny;
• You are solely responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest, or fees resulting from an audit.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Everden LLC (d/b/a Abode Cost Segregation) and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) any inaccuracy in the data you provided; (c) any tax filing or decision you make based on the Service output; or (d) any violation of these Terms.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Without limiting the foregoing, Abode does not warrant that:

• The Service will meet your specific requirements or expectations;
• The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
• The results or outputs obtained from the Service will be accurate, reliable, or complete;
• Any errors in the Service will be corrected;
• The study will result in any specific amount of tax savings.

The Service is offered at a one-time fee of $481 per property, as displayed at the time of purchase. All prices are in U.S. Dollars (USD). By providing payment information, you authorize Abode to charge your payment method for the agreed-upon amount via Stripe, our payment processor.

Tiered Refund Policy: We stand behind the work. Refund eligibility depends on where you are in the study lifecycle at the time of your request, and applies within the 90-day window from your purchase date:

• Before you download the study: 100% refund. No questions asked. Email hello@abodecostseg.com.
• After download, before you file with the IRS: 50% refund. At this point we have delivered the engineering work and you retain the study; we refund half of the fee.
• After the study is filed with your return: Reviewed case-by-case. Once the return is filed, the cost-segregation accounting-method election is substantially locked in. Reach out and we will work through it with you in good faith.

Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5–10 business days of approval.

After the 90-day window has closed, all sales are final. We reserve the right to modify pricing and refund terms at any time, but changes will not apply retroactively to completed purchases.

All content, software, algorithms, reports, templates, designs, trademarks, and materials provided through the Service are the intellectual property of Everden LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Upon payment, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the cost segregation study generated for your property solely for your personal tax planning purposes. You may share the study with your CPA or tax professional. You may not resell, redistribute, publish, reverse-engineer, or sublicense any study, report, or other output generated by the Service.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to: violation of these Terms, suspected fraudulent activity, provision of false information, or misuse of the Service.

Upon termination, your right to access the Service will immediately cease. If your account is terminated for cause, you will not be entitled to a refund. If we terminate your account without cause, we will provide a pro-rata refund if within the 90-day refund window.

You may close your own account at any time by contacting hello@abodecostseg.com. Account closure does not automatically entitle you to a refund outside of the refund policy described in Section 8.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

You agree that:

• Arbitration shall take place in the State of Delaware or, at Abode's discretion, remotely via video conference;
• The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding;
• You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration;
• Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.

For claims under $10,000, the parties agree to attempt informal resolution through good-faith negotiation for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration. To begin informal resolution, send a written description of your dispute to hello@abodecostseg.com.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal proceedings not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimers, constitute the entire agreement between you and Everden LLC (d/b/a Abode Cost Segregation) regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral.
