Effective Date: June 4, 2026 Version: 1.4
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Synergy In Construction (SynC™) platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services") provided by Synergy In Construction, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, with a principal address at 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and references to "you" will refer to both you as an individual and the organization.
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Services. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
To access certain features, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information during registration. You agree to update such information promptly as needed to maintain its accuracy.
You are responsible for:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, are inactive for extended periods, or pose security risks.
SynC provides a cloud-based platform for construction project management, including but not limited to:
The Services include artificial intelligence and machine learning features, including but not limited to:
These AI features utilize third-party AI services and APIs. By using AI features, you acknowledge that:
The Services include a collaborative wiki ("SynC Standards") where authenticated users may contribute to, edit, and improve construction reference specifications. SynC Standards are governed by the additional terms in Section 5A below.
The Services may integrate with third-party platforms and APIs. Your use of these integrations is subject to the third party's terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, functionality, or security of third-party services.
You retain ownership of all data, content, specifications, designs, documents, and other materials you create, upload, or submit to the Services ("User Content"), except as otherwise provided in Section 5A regarding SynC Standards contributions and the use of SynC Standards within projects (Section 5A.7).
By uploading User Content to the Services, you grant SynC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to:
This license exists only for the duration of your use of the Services and for a reasonable period thereafter to fulfill backup and legal obligations.
Important Notice Regarding AI Training:
You grant SynC the right to use User Content in the following ways:
5.3.1 Anonymized Data We may anonymize User Content by removing all personally identifiable information, company names, project names, and other identifying details. Anonymized data may be used to:
Once anonymized, this data is not considered confidential and may be aggregated with data from other users.
5.3.2 Usage Analytics We collect and analyze usage patterns, feature utilization, and interaction data to improve the Services, enhance user experience, and develop new functionality.
5.3.3 Opt-Out Rights If you do not wish for your User Content to be used for AI training purposes (even in anonymized form), you may contact us at privacy@synergyinconstruction.com to opt out. Note that opting out may limit certain AI-powered features of the Services.
You represent and warrant that:
You agree not to upload User Content that:
The Services include the SynC Standards Wiki ("SynC Standards"), a collaboratively maintained library of construction reference specifications. This Section 5A applies to all users of the Services, whether or not you contribute to SynC Standards.
SynC Standards are contributed by users of the Services and are licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC-BY-SA 4.0). Because SynC Standards are openly licensed, anyone — including users who have never contributed — may use, share, and adapt them, subject to CC-BY-SA 4.0. When SynC Standards content, or an adaptation of it, is redistributed to the public, the redistributor must give attribution to contributors and license the publicly redistributed version under CC-BY-SA 4.0. Use of a SynC Standard within a project is addressed in §5A.7.
If you contribute to SynC Standards, your contribution is governed by SynC's separate Contributor License Agreement ("CLA"), which you accept at the time you submit a contribution. The CLA — not these Terms — sets out the terms that apply to contributions, including:
To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and the CLA with respect to contributions, the CLA governs. These Terms do not restate or modify the CLA, and nothing in this Section 5A grants SynC any right in a contribution beyond what the CLA grants. You are not required to contribute, and you do not accept the CLA unless and until you submit a contribution.
SynC reserves the right to:
These editorial and moderation rights operate alongside, and do not limit, SynC's rights under the CLA.
SynC Standards display contributor attribution as required by the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. The treatment of contributor attribution — including how it is recorded, preserved, and anonymized following deletion of a contributor's account — is governed by the CLA.
SynC Standards are reference specifications developed collaboratively by construction professionals. They are not engineering judgments, professional recommendations, or substitutes for the independent professional judgment of a licensed engineer. Users are solely responsible for verifying the suitability of any standard for their specific project, jurisdiction, and application. Contributors are not liable for downstream use of their contributions.
Once a SynC Standards Wiki revision has been formally adopted, its content is immutable. The platform stores adopted revisions as permanent records that cannot be edited, only superseded by later adopted revisions. Projects may import specific adopted revisions as fixed references, and the platform commits to preserving those references as a load-bearing feature of the Services.
Notwithstanding the immutability principle in §5A.6.1, SynC reserves the right to issue errata — public, non-destructive annotations attached to an adopted revision — at its sole discretion when an error or other issue is identified after adoption. Errata do not modify the content of the adopted revision; the original content remains intact. Errata are displayed as banners or other visual indicators on every page that references the affected adopted revision, including in projects that have already imported the affected revision.
By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that:
In extraordinary circumstances, SynC reserves the right to revoke an adopted wiki revision, removing it from public view and from project specifications that reference it. This authority is exercised as narrowly as possible and is reserved for situations including but not limited to:
When SynC exercises revocation authority:
This Section 5A.6 operates as an exception to the Vested Access principle established in §6.2. Errata may appear on, and revocation may affect, adopted wiki revisions imported into shared projects, including for share-link recipients who hold Vested Access. SynC will exercise this authority only in the circumstances described in §5A.6.2 and §5A.6.3 and will not use it to circumvent the Vested Access principle for ordinary commercial or editorial reasons.
You acknowledge that SynC's exercise of errata or revocation authority under this section is a protective measure for the user community, the public, or to comply with applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, SynC is not liable to any user, contributor, project owner, or share-link recipient for any consequence of an errata being issued or an adopted revision being revoked, including but not limited to: changes to the appearance of imported content, project workflow disruption, downstream notification obligations between you and your share-link recipients, or any business impact resulting from a published errata or revocation notice.
Errata issued by SynC as the platform are the platform's own speech, and SynC is responsible for their accuracy as such. Errata issued by community moderators through the wiki errata mechanism are community speech hosted and moderated by SynC; SynC's responsibility for community-issued errata is limited to its role as host and moderator.
The Services allow you to import an adopted revision of a SynC Standard into a project as a starting specification. Importing copies the content of that adopted revision into your project. The adopted revision itself remains available in the public SynC Standards Wiki under CC-BY-SA 4.0 and is not altered, restricted, or removed by your import. Your use of a SynC Standard within a project is supported both by CC-BY-SA 4.0 and by the additional project-use permission that contributors grant under the CLA, and is available to you whether or not you have contributed to SynC Standards.
Within a project, you may configure an imported SynC Standard using its built-in datasheet fields, edit its content, and add project-specific requirements. The resulting project specification is your confidential work product. It is private to the project and accessible only to users you authorize and to share-link recipients in accordance with Section 6. Your configuration choices, edits, and project-specific additions are your User Content under §5.1. The SynC Standards content embedded in the project specification remains licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0; your use of that content within the project is governed by §5A.7.3 and §5A.7.4.
The ShareAlike and attribution conditions of CC-BY-SA 4.0 are triggered when licensed material, or an adaptation of it, is shared with the public. Importing a SynC Standard into a project, configuring and editing it, and using the resulting project specification within that project — including providing it to the owner, design team, contractors, suppliers, and other identified participants of that project, and submitting it to an authority having jurisdiction for review or permitting — is use of the Standard within a defined project and does not, by itself, constitute making an adaptation available to the public. A project specification used in this manner is not required by CC-BY-SA 4.0 to be published or to be licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, and you may treat it as confidential, subject to §5A.7.4.
If you make a SynC Standard, or an adaptation of one (including a project specification derived from a SynC Standard), available to the public — for example by posting it on a publicly accessible website or procurement portal, or otherwise distributing it to the public at large — that distribution is governed by CC-BY-SA 4.0. You must attribute the contributors and license the publicly distributed version under CC-BY-SA 4.0. This obligation applies to the SynC Standards content and adaptations of it; it does not extend to other User Content in your project that is independently authored by you and not derived from a SynC Standard. Nothing in this Section permits you to apply additional restrictions to, or to claim proprietary ownership of, the SynC Standards content itself, as distinct from your own configuration choices, edits, and project-specific additions.
SynC may display contributor attribution on SynC Standards content imported into projects, including by identifying the source adopted revision. This preserves the attribution and licensing record required by CC-BY-SA 4.0 and is consistent with the Contributor License Agreement.
The Services allow you to create share links to grant other users access to your projects. When creating a share link, you may specify:
Important: When a recipient accepts a share link and accesses your project, that recipient obtains permanent access to the shared project revision ("Vested Access"). This reflects the construction industry standard where project requirements, once distributed, cannot be recalled.
Limitation: platform-level moderation of wiki content. Vested Access protects the project share-link relationship between you and your recipients. It does not prevent SynC from issuing errata or, in extraordinary circumstances, revoking adopted wiki revisions that your project has imported. See §5A.6 for the scope and limits of this authority.
Recipients with appropriate permissions may forward access to additional users through child share links, subject to:
When sharing projects, you are solely responsible for:
SynC is not responsible for any consequences arising from your decision to share project content with specific recipients or from recipients forwarding access within the limits you configured. Where a project specification incorporates content imported from a SynC Standard, your distribution of that specification is also subject to §5A.7.
The Services provide commenting functionality with two visibility levels:
Comments marked as Internal are isolated by company. Other companies participating on the same project cannot see, search, or access your Internal comments. This isolation is enforced at the data layer and cannot be overridden by other project participants.
You are solely responsible for selecting the appropriate visibility level when creating comments. Once a comment has been marked External and viewed by other participants, the information contained in it has been disclosed. SynC is not responsible for information disclosed through comments you have marked as External.
Comments may be exported to PDF or Word format. Once exported, the exported document is outside the control of the Services, and SynC cannot manage or restrict its further distribution.
The Services and all content provided by SynC, including but not limited to software, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, algorithms, and user interface designs, are owned by SynC or its licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws, including copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret laws.
SynC™, the SynC logo, "Synergy in Construction," and "SynC Standards" are trademarks of Synergy In Construction. You may not use these marks without prior written permission, except to accurately refer to the Services. Third parties who fork or adapt SynC Standards content under the CC-BY-SA license may not use the SynC name, logo, or branding to represent their derivative works as SynC Standards.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SynC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes.
You may not:
If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services ("Feedback"), you grant SynC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate such Feedback into the Services without any obligation to you.
You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You agree not to:
Violations of this Section may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, removal of User Content, and potential legal action.
Certain features of the Services require payment of subscription fees. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as required by law or as expressly stated in these Terms.
Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected during registration. You authorize SynC to charge the payment method on file for all applicable fees.
SynC reserves the right to modify subscription fees with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use of the Services after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new fees.
Failure to pay fees when due may result in suspension or termination of your access to the Services.
