Terms & Conditions
The agreement between you and Pipelyn for using our property-operations platform, service-provider workspace, and marketplace — including your consent to receive notices, invoices, and disclosures electronically and by text message.
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Pipelyn, Inc. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Services for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization.
Sections 5 and 6 explain your consent to receive communications electronically and by text message. Section 16 contains an arbitration agreement and class-action waiver that affect how disputes are resolved.
Agreement to terms
These Terms govern your use of Pipelyn’s websites, web and mobile applications, the service-provider workspace, the property marketplace, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). Additional product-specific or order terms may apply and, together with these Terms and the Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between you and Pipelyn.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services.
Definitions
The following defined terms are used throughout these Terms. Where a term is capitalized but not defined here, it has the meaning given elsewhere in these Terms or in the Privacy Policy.
Eligibility & accounts
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to form a binding contract to use the Services. By registering, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
If you add Authorized Users to your account, you are responsible for their compliance with these Terms and for the accuracy of any Content they submit through the Services. You must promptly notify Pipelyn of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.
The Pipelyn services
Pipelyn provides cloud-based software for property operations, including lease management, maintenance coordination, tenant communication, service-provider coordination, document storage, and related workflows.
Subject to these Terms, Pipelyn grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal business or personal property-management purposes.
Pipelyn may add, modify, or discontinue features or functionality of the Services at any time. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free operation.
Certain features may display data sourced from public agencies or third-party databases. Such data is provided “as is” without independent verification, and Pipelyn makes no representation as to its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
Electronic communications & consent
By creating an account you consent, pursuant to the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.), to receive all notices, disclosures, agreements, invoices, receipts, and other communications from Pipelyn electronically—via email, in-app notification, SMS, or by posting to your dashboard. This consent covers every transaction and relationship you have with Pipelyn, including but not limited to account notices, billing statements, lease-related alerts, maintenance updates, and legal disclosures.
By accepting these Terms you acknowledge that:
- (a) Electronic records and signatures carry the same legal weight as paper documents and handwritten signatures.
- (b) You have the hardware, software, and internet access necessary to receive and retain electronic communications (see requirements below).
- (c) You may withdraw your E-SIGN consent at any time by contacting us, but doing so may limit or terminate your ability to use the Services.
- (d) You may request a paper copy of any electronic record by emailing legal@pipelyn.com; a reasonable fee may apply.
Hardware & software you need
To receive and retain electronic communications you need: a device with internet access and a current web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge — latest two major versions), a valid email address on file, and sufficient storage or a printer to keep copies for your records. For SMS notifications, you need a mobile device capable of receiving text messages.
Withdrawing consent
You may withdraw your E-SIGN consent at any time by emailing legal@pipelyn.com with the subject line “Withdraw E-SIGN Consent.” Withdrawal will be processed within ten (10) business days. Because the Services are delivered digitally, withdrawing consent may result in the suspension or termination of your account. Withdrawal does not affect the legal validity of any electronic communication you received before the withdrawal took effect.
Text-message (SMS) terms
Pipelyn uses Twilio to deliver transactional and operational text messages to the mobile number you provide. By providing your phone number and opting in, you consent to receive automated text messages from Pipelyn. Your consent is not a condition of any purchase.
- Program:Pipelyn Alerts — maintenance updates, lease reminders, payment confirmations, inspection notices, vendor dispatch alerts, and account security codes.
- Frequency: Message frequency varies based on your account activity. Expect up to 25 messages per month during active periods.
- Cost: Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan. Pipelyn does not charge for SMS delivery.
- Opt-out: Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe from non-essential texts. Certain transactional messages (e.g., security codes) cannot be opted out of while your account remains active. You may also manage SMS preferences in your account settings.
- Delivery: Pipelyn and carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on carrier availability and device compatibility.
For full details, see our standalone SMS & Messaging Terms. Your phone number is used as described in our Privacy Policy.

- Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right, including fair-housing, anti-discrimination, privacy, and anti-spam laws.
- Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any code designed to disrupt, damage, or limit the functionality of the Services or any connected system.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts, Pipelyn’s infrastructure, or any data you are not authorized to view or modify.

Marketplace & service-provider terms
The Pipelyn marketplace is a neutral platform that connects property owners and managers with service providers. Pipelyn is not a party to any agreement between a property owner and a service provider, and does not employ, endorse, guarantee, or insure any service provider listed on the marketplace.
- Service providers are responsible for the accuracy of their profiles, qualifications, licensing, insurance, and the quality of work they perform.
- Property owners are responsible for vetting service providers, defining scopes of work, and ensuring compliance with local licensing and permitting requirements.
- Disputes between owners and service providers must be resolved directly between the parties. Pipelyn may, but is not obligated to, facilitate communication or provide transaction records upon request.
- Ratings and reviews must be honest, factual, and based on genuine interactions. Pipelyn reserves the right to remove content that violates these Terms or appears fraudulent.
Fees & payment
Certain features of the Services require a paid subscription. Fees, billing cycles, and included features are described on the Pipelyn pricing page or in your order form.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date. You authorize Pipelyn to charge your payment method on file for all recurring fees.
All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by applicable law. Pipelyn may change pricing with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and government-imposed fees associated with your use of the Services, excluding taxes based on Pipelyn’s net income. If payment is not received within fifteen (15) days of the due date, Pipelyn may suspend access to the Services and charge a late fee of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower) on the outstanding balance.
Intellectual property
Pipelyn and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in the Services, including all software, designs, trademarks, trade names, logos, and documentation. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership rights to you.
You retain all ownership rights in your Content. By uploading or submitting Content to the Services, you grant Pipelyn a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, and display your Content solely as necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Services and to provide support. This license ends when you delete your Content or close your account, except for copies retained in backups or as required by law.
Third-party services
The Services may integrate with or contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services (e.g., payment processors, mapping providers, communication platforms). These integrations are provided for convenience and are governed by the third party’s own terms and privacy policies.
Pipelyn does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party service. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk, and Pipelyn shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from such use.
