Legal
Terms of Service
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using ClaimDuke (claimduke.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
Not Legal, Financial, or Professional Advice
ClaimDuke provides calculation tools based on recognized industry formulas (including the Eichleay Formula, MCAA loss-of-efficiency guidelines, ACV/RCV depreciation methods and statutory interest calculations) for informational and documentation purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice. Statutory interest rates and claim methodologies vary by jurisdiction and contract terms; always consult qualified legal counsel before submitting a claim, demand, or report based on these calculations. Using ClaimDuke (including any calculator, exported report, or communication with us) does not create an attorney-client relationship, an accountant-client relationship, or any other professional or fiduciary relationship between you and ClaimDuke or its operators. ClaimDuke is a software tool, not a law firm, accounting firm, claims-consulting firm, or third-party advisory firm.
Paid Reports & Subscriptions
ClaimDuke offers a Single Calculator unlock ($19, valid for 30 days from purchase, no renewal) and an All Access subscription ($49 every 30 days, renewing until cancelled) that unlock the full line-item breakdown, formatted Excel workbook, matching Word/PDF report, Scenario Comparison sheet (subscription only) for one or more calculators, as described on the Pricing section of the Site.
Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until cancelled. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. If a report you have paid for will not open, is missing figures you entered, contains an error in a calculation or citation or applies a state rule that ClaimDuke had wrong for the state you selected (on its state reference page or in the calculator itself), tell us within 7 days of purchase and we will correct it. If we cannot correct it within 3 business days, we will refund that purchase in full. That correction or refund is your sole and exclusive remedy for a defective report or export. It does not enlarge any warranty disclaimed elsewhere in these Terms. One refund per customer for a defective report. If you are charged twice for the same purchase or charged after you cancelled, we will refund the incorrect charge in full. A billing-error refund does not count toward the one-refund limit. Refunded reports stop being re-exportable. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and access runs to the end of the period you have paid for; a cancelled subscription is not refunded for the period already used. Nothing here limits any refund right you have by law.
Accuracy of Calculations
While we take care to implement industry-recognized formulas correctly, ClaimDuke makes no warranty that any calculation, report, or export is accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular claim, dispute, or legal proceeding. You are solely responsible for independently verifying all figures and for any decisions made in reliance on them.
Document Import ("Smart Import")
The optional file-import feature available on some calculators reads spreadsheet, document, scanned and photographed files (including via in-browser OCR) entirely within your own browser and does not transmit them to ClaimDuke or any third party; see the Document Import section of our Privacy Policy for details. Field-matching is automated and best-effort; it may miss, misread, or mismatch values and OCR-based results (from scanned documents, image-based PDFs, or photos) are meaningfully more error-prone than results from a real spreadsheet or text file. You are solely responsible for reviewing every value it fills in before relying on it, in the same way you are responsible for verifying any other figure entered into a ClaimDuke calculator.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to circumvent paywalls or payment obligations, reverse-engineering the Site's calculation logic for competing commercial use, or using the Site for any unlawful purpose.
Email Communications
Downloading a report or unlocking the State Reference detail requires you to give an email address and tick a box consenting to us storing it. Those downloads are delivered directly to your device; we do not email them to you. If you additionally check the separate, optional marketing box, you agree to receive occasional product-related emails from ClaimDuke, governed by the Email Capture & Communications section of our Privacy Policy. If you subscribe, we also send a sign-in link when you request one. You may withdraw marketing consent and unsubscribe at any time.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClaimDuke and Sprint Build Group shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising from your use of the Site or reliance on any calculation or report it produces.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
