Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 19, 2026 · Last Updated: September 5, 2026

⚠️ BETA NOTICE: Halden Pro is currently in closed beta. Features, pricing, and terms described herein are subject to change prior to public launch. Beta participants receive lifetime Pro access at no charge in exchange for feedback and agree to these terms as written.

1. Acceptance of Terms and Agreement Structure

This Master Terms of Service Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legally binding contract between Cox Toolworks LLC, a Florida limited liability company located at Orlando, Florida 32807 ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), and the business entity or independent contractor accessing or using the platform ("Subscriber," "you," or "your"). This Agreement governs your use of the Halden Pro web application, progressive web app (PWA), mobile applications, public landing pages, and associated services (collectively, the "Platform").

Incorporation by Reference

This Agreement acts as the master governing document for your use of Halden Pro. By accepting this Agreement, you also expressly agree to be bound by the Halden Pro Privacy Policy and the Halden Pro Payment Processing, Liability & Platform Terms (the "Liability Terms"). Both documents are fully incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a direct conflict between this Agreement and the Liability Terms regarding payment facilitation, AI generation liability, or telecommunications compliance, the Liability Terms shall govern.

2. Account Registration, Eligibility, and Security

Halden Pro is exclusively a Business-to-Business (B2B) platform. By registering, you warrant that you are legally representing a valid business entity or acting as a licensed independent contractor operating within the United States. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to form a binding contract. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Cox Toolworks LLC immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

3. The Halden Pro License and Acceptable Use

Grant of License

Subject to your ongoing compliance with this Agreement and payment of applicable fees, Cox Toolworks LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform strictly for your internal business operations.

Unlimited Human Users

Halden Pro offers an account-level license with absolutely no per-seat fees. You may add an unlimited number of human users (employees, dispatchers, field technicians, and subcontractors) to your account at no additional cost. This unlimited user license is subject to the "Fair Use and Infrastructure Protection" clause detailed in the Liability Terms, which strictly prohibits automated bot abuse, continuous API polling, or infrastructure scraping that exceeds normal human operational capacity.

Progressive Web App (PWA) Offline Functionality

Halden Pro utilizes browser local storage to enable offline syncing for field operations. You acknowledge that securing the physical mobile devices and tablets where this data is cached is your sole responsibility.

Prohibited Conduct

You shall not:

  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Platform;
  • sell, resell, or lease access to the Platform;
  • use the Platform to transmit spam, malware, or unlawful material; or
  • attempt to circumvent any security features or multi-tenant data isolation protocols; or
  • use the Platform's SMS infrastructure for bulk marketing, promotional broadcasts, or any messaging unrelated to active job management operations.

4. 30-Day Free Trial and Account Conversion

Cox Toolworks LLC offers a thirty (30) day free trial of the Platform to new Subscribers. No credit card is required to initiate the free trial. During the trial period, you will have access to designated features to evaluate the Platform. At the conclusion of the 30-day trial, your access will be suspended unless you select a paid subscription tier and provide a valid payment method.

Data Purge for Abandoned Trials

If you do not convert to a paid subscription within thirty (30) days following the expiration of your free trial, Cox Toolworks LLC will permanently and irreversibly purge all data, configurations, and customer records associated with your trial account from our databases to conserve infrastructure resources.

5. Subscription Tiers, Billing, and Upgrades

Halden Pro operates on a tiered subscription model. You agree to pay the fees associated with your selected tier. All subscription fees are processed by Stripe and are subject to auto-renewal unless canceled prior to the next billing cycle.

Starter Tier ($59/month)

Includes up to 25 active jobs, 50 customer profiles, unlimited AI generation requests (beta period), and standard email support. Includes 300 SMS messages per month. SMS automated notifications pause if the monthly limit is reached and resume on the first of the following month.

Pro Tier ($99/month)

Includes unlimited jobs, unlimited customer profiles, unlimited AI generation requests (beta period), GPS time tracking, 2-way SMS (requires Subscriber A2P 10DLC registration), and priority support. Includes 1,000 SMS messages per month. SMS automated notifications pause if the monthly limit is reached and resume on the first of the following month.

Team Tier ($149/month)

Includes all Pro features plus advanced route optimization, equipment tracking, QuickBooks sync, AI-assisted scheduling, instant quote SMS, same-day payouts, consumer financing integration, custom subdomain hosting, and dedicated support. Includes 3,000 SMS messages per month. SMS automated notifications pause if the monthly limit is reached and resume on the first of the following month.

5C. SMS Message Limits, Overage Behavior, and Enterprise Tier

Monthly SMS Allocation

Each subscription tier includes a monthly allocation of SMS messages as set forth in Section 5 above. SMS message limits apply to all automated outbound notifications sent through the Platform on behalf of the Subscriber, including job reminders, invoice notifications, dispatch confirmations, and customer updates.

Overage Behavior — No Additional Charges

Cox Toolworks LLC does not charge overage fees for SMS messages sent beyond the monthly allocation. When a Subscriber's monthly SMS allocation is exhausted, automated SMS delivery will be suspended for the remainder of the current billing month. SMS delivery will resume automatically on the first (1st) day of the following calendar month when the allocation resets. No action is required by the Subscriber to restore SMS delivery upon reset. Email delivery of notifications is not affected by SMS suspension.

Usage Alerts

The Platform will display an in-app notification when a Subscriber has consumed eighty percent (80%) of their monthly SMS allocation, and a second notification when the allocation is fully exhausted. Subscribers may upgrade their subscription tier at any time to immediately restore SMS delivery with the higher allocation.

Enterprise Tier

Subscribers requiring more than 3,000 SMS messages per month may contact Cox Toolworks LLC to discuss Enterprise tier pricing. Enterprise subscribers receive unlimited SMS messages, dedicated onboarding support, and priority technical assistance. Enterprise pricing is negotiated individually and is not published publicly. Contact us at [email protected] to initiate an Enterprise inquiry.

Right to Modify SMS Allocations

Cox Toolworks LLC reserves the right to adjust monthly SMS allocations across subscription tiers with thirty (30) days advance written notice to affected Subscribers. Allocations will not be reduced below those in effect at the time of a Subscriber's most recent subscription renewal without thirty (30) days advance written notice.

SMS Acceptable Use

SMS messages sent through the Platform must relate exclusively to legitimate job management operations, including but not limited to appointment reminders, invoice delivery, job status updates, payment confirmations, and dispatch notifications. Use of the Platform's SMS infrastructure for bulk marketing campaigns, promotional broadcasts, unsolicited commercial messaging, or any purpose unrelated to active job management is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account suspension.

5A. Founding Crew Pricing

The first fifty (50) Subscribers who join the Halden Pro waitlist and convert to a paid subscription during the Founding Crew enrollment period ("Founding Crew Members") are eligible for reduced subscription rates as published at the time of enrollment. Founding Crew pricing is locked for the duration of your continuous, active subscription. Founding Crew pricing is forfeited permanently upon voluntary cancellation, account suspension for cause, or non-payment. Upon forfeiture, any resubscription will be billed at then-current standard rates. Founding Crew status is non-transferable.

Modifications to Subscriptions

You may upgrade your subscription tier at any time. Upgrades will be applied immediately, and your account will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing cycle. You may downgrade your subscription tier at any time; however, downgrades will not take effect until the start of your next billing cycle. No prorated refunds are provided for mid-cycle downgrades.

5B. Beta Contractor Referral Rewards

The following referral reward program applies exclusively to Subscribers who joined Halden Pro as designated Beta Contractors prior to public launch ("Beta Contractors"). This program is separate from and runs concurrently with the standard Halden Pro Referral Program described in Section 8. Beta Contractors are not eligible for cash payouts under Section 8.

Tier 1 — Team Upgrade Reward

A Beta Contractor who refers three (3) or more paying Subscribers who each maintain an active paid subscription for a minimum of sixty (60) consecutive days ("Qualified Referrals") will be permanently upgraded to the Team Tier ($149/month value) at no charge for the lifetime of their continuous active account. This upgrade applies regardless of the Beta Contractor's current subscription tier and cannot be forfeited except by voluntary account cancellation or termination for cause under Section 11.

Tier 2 — Lifetime Upgrade Reward

A Beta Contractor who achieves ten (10) or more Qualified Referrals will receive lifetime automatic upgrades to all future subscription tiers released by Cox Toolworks LLC at no additional charge. This benefit entitles the Beta Contractor to access every feature tier Halden Pro introduces post-launch, permanently, for the lifetime of their continuous active account.

Featured Contractor Recognition

Beta Contractors who achieve five (5) or more Qualified Referrals are eligible to be featured on the Halden Pro public website (haldenpro.com) as a founding contractor, including their business name, trade, service region, and testimonial, subject to their written consent. Cox Toolworks LLC reserves the right to determine the format and placement of such recognition at its sole discretion.

General Conditions

A Qualified Referral requires:

  • the referred Subscriber must be a new account with no prior relationship to Halden Pro;
  • the referred Subscriber must convert from trial to a paid subscription; and
  • the referred Subscriber must maintain their paid subscription for sixty (60) consecutive days without cancellation or chargeback.

Self-referrals are strictly prohibited. Cox Toolworks LLC reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate this Beta Contractor Referral Rewards program at any time with thirty (30) days written notice to affected Beta Contractors. Rewards already earned and vested at the time of any program modification shall be honored.

6. The AI Refund Judge and Cancellation Policy

Halden Pro utilizes an automated rules engine (the "AI Refund Judge") to process subscription refund requests equitably and transparently. Refund requests must be submitted through the Platform portal.

Auto-Approve

A full refund of the most recent subscription charge will be automatically approved if the Subscriber's account is three (3) days old or less AND the account has processed zero (0) paid End Customer invoices.

Auto-Deny

A refund request will be automatically denied if the account is ninety (90) days old or older AND the account has historically processed a significant volume of End Customer invoices, demonstrating sustained utilization and value extraction from the Platform.

Manual Review

Any refund request falling outside the parameters of the Auto-Approve and Auto-Deny criteria will be flagged for manual review by the Cox Toolworks LLC administrative team. All refund decisions are final; however, a Subscriber may appeal a denied refund one (1) time by emailing support within fourteen (14) days of the denial notice. You may cancel your subscription at any time, with cancellation taking effect at the end of your current paid billing term.

7. Public Contractor Landing Pages and Hosted Content

Subscribers on eligible tiers may utilize the Platform to generate and host public-facing contractor landing pages.

Acceptable Use of User-Generated Content

You retain all intellectual property rights to the logos, images, and text you upload. You warrant that you own or have secured the rights to use all content displayed on your landing page. Prohibited content includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material owned by third parties without a license, deceptive trade practices, explicit material, or malicious code.

DMCA Safe Harbor

Cox Toolworks LLC complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If a third party believes their copyrighted work has been infringed upon by a Subscriber's landing page, they must submit a written notification to our Designated Agent containing: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner; (b) identification of the infringed work; (c) identification of the infringing material and its location on the Platform; (d) contact information of the complaining party; (e) a statement of good faith belief that the use is unauthorized; and (f) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate.

8. Halden Pro Referral Program

Subscribers in good standing may participate in the Halden Pro Referral Program.

Payout Structure

You will earn a twenty dollar ($20.00) direct payout for every new Subscriber you refer who qualifies (Level 1), and a ten dollar ($10.00) indirect payout for any qualifying Subscriber referred by your Level 1 referrals (Level 2). Total referral payouts are capped at sixty dollars ($60.00) per calendar month per Subscriber account.

Qualification Conditions

To qualify for a payout, the referred account must remain active for a sixty (60) day qualification window AND the referred Subscriber must complete and process at least two (2) paid End Customer invoices through the Platform. If a referred account cancels or is terminated before the sixty (60) day qualification window closes, any pending referral payouts associated with that account will be immediately forfeited and reversed.

Anti-Fraud and Tax Compliance

Self-referrals, shell accounts, and coordinated fraud rings are strictly prohibited. If your total referral payouts exceed six hundred dollars ($600.00) in a single calendar year, Cox Toolworks LLC requires the submission of a valid IRS Form W-9 prior to releasing further funds. Cox Toolworks LLC reserves the absolute right to withhold, cancel, or reverse referral payouts at its sole discretion if it suspects fraud, abuse, or a violation of this Agreement.
