3. Payment & Escrow Status

In-platform payment processing and escrow services are not enabled for the current launch. You should continue using your existing payment process unless Fabric separately enables payment services for your account in writing.

Platform Role

Fabric acts as a technology platform for organizing construction workflows, records, documents, agreements, and communications. We are not a bank and do not hold funds for the current launch.

Payment Authorization

If payment services are later enabled for your account, separate payment authorization terms may apply. Until then, Fabric does not instruct banking partners to release funds.

Fees

Fabric charges subscription fees and any separately enabled transaction fees as outlined in our Pricing page. All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as explicitly stated in your subscription agreement.

Disputed Payments

Fabric may help organize documentation relevant to disputes between parties, but it does not place funds in escrow for the current launch.

4. Intellectual Property

These are the terms regarding content ownership and intellectual property rights.

Your Content

You retain all rights to the content you upload to Fabric (project specifications, contracts, photos, etc.). By uploading content, you grant Fabric a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, and display your content for the purpose of providing the Service.
