Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account on PlateMastr or using any part of the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use PlateMastr. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and PlateMastr LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), based in Texas, USA.

2. Description of Service

PlateMastr is a web-based productivity platform designed for metal finishing and electroplating professionals. Features include ChemStream chemistry tracking, lab analysis management, process troubleshooting guidance, defect tracking, corrective action management, CRM tools, line walk process audits, PDF report generation, and educational content. Some features require a paid subscription. Users may upload files including profile photos, company logos, and audit photos as part of their use of the platform.

3. Accounts

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@platemastr.app if you suspect unauthorized access. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Subscription & Billing

• PlateMastr offers three tiers: a Free tier, a paid “PlateMastr Pro” tier at $9.99 per month, and an “Enterprise” tier at $500.00 per month (includes 5 seats; additional seats $100.00/seat/month).
• All payment processing is handled by Stripe. We never store your credit card information.
• Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel.
• You may cancel your subscription at any time from the Settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain access until then.
• No refunds are provided for partial billing periods. Once a billing cycle has begun, that month’s charge is final.
• We reserve the right to change subscription pricing with at least 30 days’ notice. Price changes will apply at the start of your next billing cycle after the notice period.

Enterprise Seats

• Enterprise subscriptions include seat-based licensing. The organization administrator (“Admin”) is responsible for assigning seats to individual users.
• Each seat holder must create their own PlateMastr account and is individually bound by these Terms of Service.
• The Admin may add or remove seats at any time. Added seats are billed on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of the current billing period. Removed seats take effect at the end of the current billing period.
• The Admin is responsible for all charges associated with the Enterprise subscription, including charges for all assigned seats.

5. Your Data & Intellectual Property

You own your data. All ChemStream entries, lab records, CRM data, notes, and other content you enter into PlateMastr remains your property. We do not claim any ownership or intellectual property rights over your content.

You grant PlateMastr a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your data solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. This license ends when you delete your account.

We own the platform. The PlateMastr application, including its design, code, branding, educational content, process guides, and all other platform materials, is the intellectual property of PlateMastr. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from any part of the platform.

6. User-Uploaded Content

PlateMastr allows users to upload files including profile photos, company logos, and photos attached to line walk audit observations (“User Content”). By uploading User Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the content or have all necessary rights to upload and use it on the platform.
• The content does not violate any applicable law or third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights.
• The content is not illegal, obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.

You retain ownership of your User Content. By uploading content, you grant PlateMastr a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, serve, and display your User Content solely for the purpose of operating the platform and generating reports for your use. This license ends when you delete the content or close your account.

Storage and visibility: Uploaded files are stored in Supabase Storage (United States) and are accessible via public URLs. Do not upload files that contain sensitive or confidential information you do not wish to be publicly accessible. Profile photos and logos may be embedded in PDF reports that you generate and distribute.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to remove User Content that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is harmful, illegal, or objectionable. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you if we remove your content.

7. Usage Data

Usage Data. To improve PlateMastr, we collect anonymized, aggregated data about how features are used — such as which sections are visited and which tools are accessed most often. This data is never sold, is not linked to personally identifiable information in any external system, and is used solely to understand how the product is performing and to guide future development. Per-user navigation preference data (used to power personalized features like “Your Bench”) is stored in your account and deleted when you close your account.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use PlateMastr for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the platform, other users’ accounts, or our systems.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of PlateMastr.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access or collect data from PlateMastr without written permission.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the platform.
• Upload malicious code, viruses, or any harmful material.
• Upload content that is illegal, obscene, defamatory, harassing, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.
• Upload files containing sensitive personal data of others (such as personally identifiable information about your customers or employees) without a lawful basis for doing so.
• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense access to PlateMastr.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date. We will make reasonable efforts to notify active users of material changes via email or in-app notification. Your continued use of PlateMastr after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PlateMastr regarding your use of the platform and supersede any prior agreements.

17. Advertisers

If you are an advertiser or sponsor, additional terms apply. See our Advertiser Terms of Service.

18. Technical Standards References

PlateMastr course content, training materials, and reference guides may cite technical requirements and parameter values from industry standards bodies including ASTM International, SAE International (AMS specifications), ISO, the Nickel Institute, and applicable U.S. Military specifications (MIL-specs).

Such references are made for educational purposes only. PlateMastr does not reproduce full standards documents and is not an authorized distributor of any standards body's publications.
