By accessing or using BlocIQ ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

BlocIQ is an AI-powered property management platform for UK block management agencies. The Service provides document processing, compliance tracking, AI-powered insights, and communication tools for managing residential properties.

3. Account Registration

To use BlocIQ, you must create an account by providing accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Subscription Plans

4.1 Paid Subscriptions

BlocIQ offers paid subscription plans based on the number of users and property units:

  • £49 per user per month
  • £0.30 per unit per month (with volume discounts available)
  • Minimum monthly charge: £99
  • 10% discount for annual billing

4.2 Payment Terms

Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually in advance. Payment is due immediately upon subscription creation and on each renewal date thereafter. We accept credit/debit cards and Direct Debit (BACS) via our payment processor, Stripe.

4.3 Subscription Changes

You may upgrade or downgrade your subscription at any time. Changes will be prorated and reflected in your next billing cycle. If you add users or units mid-cycle, you will be charged the prorated amount immediately.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to the Service until the end of your current billing period. No refunds will be provided for partial billing periods.

5. Free Trial Terms

5.1 Trial Period

BlocIQ offers a 30-day free trial for evaluation purposes. The trial provides access to the full platform with the following soft limits:

  • 3 user seats
  • 200 units
  • 1GB storage
  • 300 OCR pages

5.2 No Credit Card Required

No credit card or payment method is required to start a free trial. You may upgrade to a paid subscription at any time during or after your trial period.

5.3 Trial Usage Restrictions

Trial accounts are provided for evaluation purposes only. Users may not:

  • Create multiple trial accounts to bypass limitations
  • Use trial accounts for production workloads
  • Abuse system resources or violate fair-use policies
  • Share trial accounts with third parties

5.4 Trial Expiration

At the end of the 30-day trial period:

  • Your account will automatically be paused
  • All data remains accessible in read-only mode for 30 days
  • After 60 days total (30-day trial + 30-day grace period), your data will be permanently deleted unless you upgrade to a paid subscription

5.5 Data Export

You may export your data at any time during the trial or the 30-day grace period following trial expiration. After this period, data export will no longer be available.

5.6 Conversion to Paid Subscription

When you convert from a trial to a paid subscription:

  • All your data, buildings, and documents remain intact
  • No migration or re-onboarding is required
  • Soft limits are automatically removed
  • Billing begins immediately based on your selected plan

5.7 Trial Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend trial accounts that:

  • Violate these Terms of Service
  • Abuse system resources
  • Engage in fraudulent or malicious activity
  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent trial limitations

6. Fair-Use Policy

Usage is included for typical portfolios. We monitor AI queries (~10,000/month), OCR pages (~500/month per 500 units), and storage (~5GB per 500 units). For very large onboarding volumes (e.g., thousands of units just migrated), we'll agree a bespoke plan. We'll always give early warning if usage is high.

For trial accounts: Usage is monitored against soft limits. Warnings are issued at 80% usage, and additional actions may be blocked at 100% to ensure fair resource allocation.

7. Data Ownership and Privacy

You retain all ownership rights to the data you upload to BlocIQ. We process your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use BlocIQ for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to:

  • Uploading malicious code or viruses
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to systems or data
  • Interfering with other users' access to the Service
  • Violating any applicable laws or regulations
  • Using the Service to store or transmit illegal content

9. Intellectual Property

BlocIQ and all related trademarks, logos, and content are the property of BlocIQ Ltd. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on our intellectual property without prior written consent.

10. Service Availability

We strive to provide 99.9% uptime, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Service. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance where possible.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BlocIQ shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid in the 12 months prior to the claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold BlocIQ harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

13. Changes to Terms
