Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the AssaAalliance website located at https://assa-alliance.com. By visiting, browsing, or otherwise using the site, you agree to be bound by these terms and by any policies expressly incorporated into them, including our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, you should stop using the site. The website is intended to provide general informational material related to smart real estate, solar-aware planning, building communication, and similar topics. It is not offered as a guarantee of any business outcome, technical result, or regulatory conclusion.
We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect site changes, operational needs, legal developments, or updated risk management practices. When we update the terms, we will revise the "Last updated" date and publish the current version on the site. Continued use of the website after the effective date of a revised version means you accept the updated terms to the extent permitted by law. If a change is material and additional notice is appropriate, we may also use a homepage notice or similar on-site signal. These terms apply only to the website and not to separate agreements that may be negotiated independently in writing.
Use of Service
AssaAalliance grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable right to access and use the site for lawful personal, educational, or internal business purposes connected with evaluating the information presented. You may read content, navigate pages, submit a contact request, and reference the site as part of your internal property research or planning discussions, provided you do so in a way that complies with these terms. You may not use the site in a way that interferes with its operation, compromises its security, or misrepresents the source or meaning of the content.
The service is informational in nature. We may change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the site at any time, with or without notice, including content, design elements, embedded features, or inquiry workflows. We are not obligated to maintain the site indefinitely, to keep any particular page available, or to preserve historical versions of content. The availability of the site may depend on hosting, connectivity, browser compatibility, maintenance work, and third-party services outside our direct control. We therefore do not promise uninterrupted access or error-free performance at all times.
User Obligations
You agree to use the site responsibly and only for lawful purposes. That means you will not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, scrape or copy content at scale in a way that burdens our systems, introduce malicious code, interfere with other users, or use the contact form to send spam, harassment, deceptive material, or unlawful content. You also agree not to misrepresent your identity, falsely imply that you are acting on behalf of another party without authority, or submit information that you know is inaccurate for the purpose of manipulating a response or disrupting the site.
If you submit information through the contact form, you represent that you have the right to share that information and that the submission does not violate any law, contract, or third-party right. You should not send confidential, highly sensitive, or regulated data through the general contact form unless a secure process has been clearly offered for that purpose. If you choose to provide property details, business plans, or project information, you remain responsible for ensuring that the disclosure is appropriate. We may ignore, delete, or block submissions that appear abusive, irrelevant, harmful, or outside the intended use of the website.
No Brokerage, Legal, Engineering, or Investment Advice
The content on AssaAalliance is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, tax advice, engineering advice, brokerage representation, appraisal advice, securities advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, lease, finance, insure, or retrofit any property. The fact that we discuss building readiness, solar-aware planning, monitoring platforms, or operational benefits does not mean that a specific property is suitable for your needs or that a given upgrade will produce any particular result. Property and energy decisions are fact-sensitive and should be evaluated with qualified professionals who can assess the specifics of your situation.
You should not rely on the site as a substitute for professional due diligence. Before making a major decision involving real estate, construction, permitting, electrical systems, financing, or contract rights, you should consult professionals with the credentials and jurisdictional knowledge required for that decision. References to technologies, including FusionSolar-compatible ecosystems, are descriptive and contextual only. They do not create a partnership, endorsement, certification, or exclusive recommendation. We specifically disclaim any interpretation that the site guarantees financial performance, regulatory approval, resale value improvement, energy savings, or project feasibility simply because a topic is discussed on the website.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the site design, written content, layout, branding elements, graphics, and compilations on AssaAalliance are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual property and unfair competition laws. You may view the material online and make limited copies for your own lawful reference, but you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, publicly display, modify, create derivative works from, or exploit substantial portions of the content for commercial purposes without prior written permission. Removing copyright notices or presenting our content as if it were your own work is prohibited.
Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of intellectual property to you. Brand names, product names, and logos belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners and are used only for identification or commentary where relevant. If you believe material on the site infringes your rights, you may contact us with sufficient detail for review. We reserve the right to remove or modify content while a claim is being assessed, but we do not admit liability simply by investigating a notice. Limited quotations or references for fair commentary may be acceptable where the law permits, but large-scale copying is not.
Third-Party Content and Services
The site may contain references, links, embeds, or technical dependencies involving third-party services, such as map providers, font providers, or content delivery networks. Those services are offered for convenience, functionality, or context, and their inclusion does not mean we control them or guarantee their availability, security, or accuracy. If you choose to interact with an external service or leave our site through a link, your relationship with that provider is governed by the provider's own terms and policies. We are not responsible for content, representations, or technical behavior on third-party platforms.
Because the modern web relies on external infrastructure, some portions of the site may not function properly if a third-party service is unavailable, blocked, or changed. We may replace or remove third-party services without notice, and we are not liable for the interruption, modification, or withdrawal of those services. If an external provider offers information about property, technology, financing, or performance, you should verify that information independently before relying on it. External references are included to support navigation or context, not to shift responsibility for your decisions away from you.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AssaAalliance and its operators, contributors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the site. That limitation applies even if we were advised that such damages were possible. It includes, by way of example, damages relating to lost profits, lost opportunities, business interruption, data loss, reputational harm, reliance on content, project delays, or the cost of obtaining substitute services.
To the extent direct liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability for claims arising from the site will be limited to the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars or the amount you paid us directly for access to the specific service giving rise to the claim, if any. Because the site is generally offered as an informational resource without a paid subscription fee, this cap reflects the limited nature of the service relationship. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some parts of this section may not apply to you. In that case, the limitation applies to the fullest extent the law allows.
Termination and Enforcement
We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the site or to a particular feature at any time if we believe it is necessary to protect the site, comply with law, prevent misuse, respond to abuse, or manage operational risk. We may take those steps with or without prior notice, especially if immediate action appears necessary for security reasons. Termination does not waive any rights or remedies available to us under law or equity, and it does not require us to continue storing or making available material that was submitted in violation of these terms.
Sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, governing law, dispute handling, and general legal interpretation. If we fail to enforce a provision on one occasion, that does not mean we waive the right to enforce it later. You may stop using the site at any time, but your prior conduct while using it remains subject to these terms. Any unauthorized use of the site ends the permission granted to you automatically and may also violate law outside the contract itself.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent a mandatory law in your jurisdiction requires a different rule for a particular issue. Before filing a formal legal claim, we encourage you to contact us first so the matter can be reviewed in good faith. Many disagreements can be resolved more efficiently through direct communication once the relevant facts are clarified. That request for an initial dialogue does not limit any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law.
If a dispute is not resolved informally, the parties agree that the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, will be the exclusive venue for any action arising out of or relating to the site, unless an applicable law requires a different forum. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts for such matters, subject again to any mandatory consumer protections that apply in your home jurisdiction. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Headings are included for convenience and do not alter the meaning of the text.
Accuracy of Information and Forward-Looking Statements
We try to keep the site accurate, current, and useful, but the subject matter covered by AssaAalliance can evolve quickly. Market practices change, technologies improve, regulations shift, and local building conditions vary from project to project. For that reason, some content on the site may describe general patterns, planning considerations, or forward-looking possibilities rather than guaranteed present facts about every asset. References to likely trends, expected workflows, or possible retrofit outcomes should be read as informational context, not as a promise that a specific event will occur on a specific timeline.
You remain responsible for verifying important facts before relying on them in a transaction, project plan, compliance review, investment thesis, or construction decision. If you notice content that appears outdated or incomplete, you may contact us and we will review the issue in good faith, but we are not obligated to update every historical page immediately or to maintain real-time coverage of changing standards. The site is best understood as a practical information resource rather than a live compliance database or transaction platform. That distinction is important to how these terms allocate responsibility between the website operator and the user.
Changes and Contact Information
We may update these terms when the website changes, when our operational model evolves, or when new legal or practical considerations arise. The updated version will be posted on the site with a revised date, and continued use after that date means you accept the revised terms as permitted by law. If you do not agree with an updated version, you should stop using the site. Changes do not automatically create retroactive obligations unless the law requires a different result or the updated document expressly says otherwise.
If you have questions about these terms, you may contact AssaAalliance at hello@assa-alliance.com, call +1 (415) 728-4619, or write to 315 Montgomery Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94104, United States. Please include enough detail to identify the page, feature, or issue you are asking about. We aim to keep legal communication understandable and practical, and we may keep correspondence relating to disputes, notices, or compliance questions for recordkeeping and risk-management purposes. Your use of the site confirms that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Service as of the date of access.
