Community Data and Ownership
You retain ownership of all data you upload to the platform, including governing documents, financial records, and resident information. You grant Dwella a limited license to store, process, and display that data solely to provide the Services.
Upon termination of your subscription, you may request a full export of your community data within 30 days. Dwella will delete your data from production systems within 90 days of termination.
Payment and Billing
Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. All fees are non-refundable except where required by law or as explicitly stated in your subscription agreement.
Dwella processes payments through third-party payment providers. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge fees as described in your subscription plan.
If payment fails, we will attempt to retry and notify you. Accounts with overdue balances may be suspended after 14 days of non-payment.
AI Features
Dwella includes AI-powered features such as document Q&A, request classification, duplicate detection, and workflow automation. These features are provided as-is and may not always be accurate. AI-generated outputs should be reviewed by a qualified person before being relied upon for financial, legal, or governance decisions.
AI features operate on data you have provided to Dwella. We do not use your community data to train models shared across other customers.
Third-Party Integrations
The Services may integrate with third-party tools including payment processors, communication providers, and MCP-compatible AI clients. Your use of those integrations is governed by the applicable third-party terms. Dwella is not responsible for the availability or conduct of third-party services.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. DWELLA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF SECURITY VULNERABILITIES.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DWELLA'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO DWELLA IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
DWELLA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dwella, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
