Terms of Service

Effective date: April 14, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before accessing or using the Patchly platform at https://patchlyapp.com (the “Service”) operated by Patchly, Inc.(“Patchly,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

01

Description of Service

Patchly is a neighborhood intelligence platform that aggregates publicly available data — including geographic information (via OpenStreetMap), government flood risk data (via FEMA), census and regional market context, and AI-estimated market intelligence — and classifies neighborhoods according to observable market cycle indicators. Reports are delivered digitally via the Service.

Important: Patchly is a data intelligence and classification tool, not a licensed real estate broker, investment adviser, financial planner, or mortgage professional. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial, investment, real estate, tax, or legal advice. Market statistics and classifications are AI-estimated from comparable regional data and are not sourced from live MLS feeds. They should be independently verified with a licensed professional before making any real estate or investment decision.
02

Eligibility and Account Registration

To use the Service you must be at least 18 years of age and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age.
  • All registration information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.
  • You will maintain the accuracy of such information.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • You accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

Patchly reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms or is used for fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful purposes.

03

Credit Purchases and Billing

Access to certain features of the Service requires purchased report credits. By purchasing credits, you authorize Patchly, Inc. (via its payment processor, Stripe, Inc.) to charge your payment method for the one-time amount shown at checkout.

  • Patchly currently sells report credits as one-time purchases, not recurring subscriptions.
  • Credits are added to your account after successful payment confirmation.
  • Unused credits do not generate prorated refunds except as described in the Refund Policy (Section 4).
  • Patchly reserves the right to change credit pricing at any time before purchase.
  • All charges are non-refundable except as expressly set out in Section 4.
04

Refund Policy

Patchly offers a limited report quality assurance policy:

  • If an individual report is clearly off-base for the address or fails to deliver a coherent intelligence read, you may request a review of that report for refund or credit restoration.
  • Review requests must be submitted within 7 days of the date the report was generated.
  • Review requests must be submitted to support@patchly.com with your account email, the report address or slug, and a brief description of the issue.
  • This policy applies per report, regardless of which credit pack was used to generate it.
  • Patchly may satisfy an approved request by refunding the report credit used, restoring a credit to your account, or issuing the equivalent refund for that specific report.
  • Refunds or credit restorations are not available for requests unrelated to report quality or address accuracy.
  • Patchly reserves the right to decline refund requests that do not meet the conditions above or that appear to be made in bad faith.
05

Permitted Use and Restrictions

Subject to these Terms, Patchly grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business purposes. You may not:

  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute reports or data from the Service to third parties as a standalone product.
  • Use the Service to build a competing product or service.
  • Scrape, crawl, or programmatically extract data from the Service beyond normal use.
  • Misrepresent Patchly reports as proprietary research you have independently produced.
  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

06

Data Sources and Accuracy

Patchly aggregates data from the following sources to generate neighborhood intelligence reports:

Verified public data sources

  • OpenStreetMap / Nominatim — address resolution and neighborhood boundary identification using open geographic data.
  • US Census Bureau ACS — American Community Survey 5-year estimates for demographic context.
  • FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) — official flood zone classification data.

AI-estimated data

  • Market statistics (median price, days on market, price/sqft, months of inventory, list-to-sale ratio) are AI-estimated from comparable regional patterns — not sourced from live MLS feeds.
  • Neighborhood demographic estimates, crime assessments, building activity levels, and investment classifications are AI-generated and should be independently verified.
Data disclaimer:Patchly is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any Multiple Listing Service (MLS), the National Association of Realtors, or any real estate brokerage. AI-estimated statistics are provided “as is” and do not constitute an appraisal, broker price opinion, or guarantee of market value. Data availability varies by geography.

Market classifications (e.g., “Early Opportunity,” “Momentum Market,” “Established Market”) reflect AI-generated analysis of observable patterns at the time of report generation. They are not predictions, appraisals, or guarantees of any outcome. Classifications may change as underlying data changes.
