Terms of Service

Last updated 2 October 2026.

Using CostShade

By creating an account you agree to these terms. You're responsible for keeping your password safe and for the accuracy of the documents and information you upload.

Free trial

New accounts start on a 14-day free trial with full access. Paid plans are being introduced - we'll give you clear notice before anything about your account's billing changes.

Acceptable use

Only upload documents you have the right to process. Don't use CostShade to overload or probe the service, or try to access another account's documents or data.

Review your results

CostShade is a best-effort automated tool. Always check a masked document before sharing it, especially unusual layouts, heavily watermarked scans, or documents in a format you haven't used with CostShade before - automated masking can occasionally miss a value, and you remain responsible for what you share.

No warranty

CostShade is provided "as is," without any warranty of completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. We aren't liable for any loss arising from information that wasn't masked as expected.

Ending your account

You can stop using CostShade at any time. We may suspend an account that violates these terms or abuses the service.

Changes

We may update these terms as the product changes; we'll update the date above when we do.
