Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ownperch.com, our newsletters, and any other PERCH services (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by PERCH, Inc. (“PERCH”, “we”, “us”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service, or the minimum age required for online consent in your country, whichever is higher. By using the Service you confirm you meet this requirement and that the information you submit is accurate.

2. What PERCH is

PERCH is a marketplace and concierge for modular, manufactured, prefab, ADU, container, and tiny homes. We surface listings, route inquiries to verified operators, provide editorial guides, and operate a newsletter. PERCH is not a lender, a transport company, a title company, an inspection company, or a licensed real estate brokerage in any jurisdiction unless we expressly state otherwise. Editorial guides are for information only and are not financial, legal, or real-estate advice.

3. Your account and submissions

You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of information you submit to the Service, including waitlist sign-ups, lead forms, comments, and any messages you send us. You agree not to:

• Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any operator.
• Submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, harassing, hateful, or sexually explicit.
• Scrape, mass-download, or otherwise extract data from the Service without our prior written consent.
• Probe, scan, or test the Service’s vulnerabilities, or interfere with its operation.
• Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited communications.

We may remove submissions or restrict accounts that violate these Terms, applicable law, or our community standards.

4. Listings and operator referrals

When you submit a lead form (for example, an ADU builder inquiry), we route your information to a verified PERCH operator in your state under a contractual relationship with us. The operator is independently responsible for their own communications with you and for any work they perform. PERCH does not guarantee any specific outcome from a listing, an inquiry, or an operator referral, and we are not a party to any agreement you enter with an operator unless we expressly say so in writing.

5. Newsletter and marketing communications

By signing up to a PERCH newsletter or list, you consent to receive marketing emails from us. Every marketing email includes a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer, and you can opt out at any time by clicking it or by emailing hello@ownperch.com. Transactional messages (such as replies to a message you sent us) are not affected by an unsubscribe.

6. Payments

When you purchase a product, lead magnet, or service through the Service, payment is processed by our payment processor (Stripe). Your purchase is subject to any product- or service-specific terms presented at checkout in addition to these Terms. Refund policy is described at the point of sale for each product or service.

7. Intellectual property

The PERCH name, mark, editorial content, design, and software are owned by PERCH, Inc. or its licensors. You may quote short excerpts (under 150 words) from PERCH editorial content with attribution to and a link back to ownperch.com. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works of PERCH content at scale without our prior written permission. User-submitted content (including comments) remains your property; by submitting it you grant PERCH a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and (for editorial selections) quote it with attribution.

8. Third-party links and content

The Service includes links to third-party websites and content (for example, manufacturer sites, lender information, and external references). PERCH does not control these third parties and is not responsible for their content, products, services, or privacy practices. Linking does not imply endorsement.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, PERCH disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any listing, price, or third-party link is accurate or current. Always verify with the operator, lender, and your local jurisdiction before transacting.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PERCH and its officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid PERCH in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD $100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence).

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PERCH from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your use of the Service, or your infringement of any rights of another.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution).

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflicts-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service is the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. If you are a consumer resident in the EU/EEA or UK, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection law in your country.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page and, where appropriate, communicated by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
