Terms of Service

By accessing or using a Stonemont Data product — including Slaughterhouse Operations Manager and Signage — you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you are using the service on behalf of a business (a tenant), you represent that you are authorized to bind that business to these Terms.

Stonemont Data provides an operations and bookkeeping platform designed for meat processors and adjacent operators (the “Service”). Features include live inventory tracking, retail and wholesale order management, AI-assisted bank transaction categorization, multi-account reconciliation, and scheduled profit-and-loss reporting.

The Service is under active development. We may add, modify, or remove features over time. Material changes affecting paying tenants will be communicated by email.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business, you must be authorized to bind that business to these Terms.

Tenant accounts are provisioned by Stonemont Data through an onboarding process. Individual operator accounts within a tenant are created and managed by the tenant’s designated administrator(s). You are responsible for keeping account credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Notify us promptly at info@stonemontdata.com if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law, including laws relating to financial reporting, money laundering, tax, or commerce.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except where this restriction is prohibited by law.
• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service or any access to it, without prior written permission from Stonemont Data.
• Attempt to bypass, probe, or interfere with the security features of the Service, or otherwise interfere with the normal operation of the Service.
• Use the Service to launder, disguise, or misrepresent the origin or character of funds — including by using AI-assisted categorization to mislabel transactions for an improper purpose.
• Upload or process data you are not authorized to handle, or data that infringes the rights of others.

You retain ownership of the data your tenant inputs or imports into the Service (transactions, invoices, orders, inventory events, configuration, uploaded files, and the like). You grant Stonemont Data a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process that data solely to provide and improve the Service for you, including the operation of backups, AI-assisted categorization, and emailed reporting that you have configured.

Stonemont Data may use aggregate or anonymized information derived from tenant data to operate, improve, and develop the Service. Aggregate or anonymized data does not identify any tenant, user, customer, or transaction.

The Service integrates with Plaid Inc. for bank account linking and transaction retrieval. By linking a financial institution, you authorize Stonemont Data and Plaid to access and transmit financial information associated with that institution on your behalf. Plaid’s collection and use of information is governed by Plaid’s end-user privacy policy, available at https://plaid.com/legal/.

The Service also relies on Microsoft Azure for hosting, storage, AI inference, and email delivery. Your use of those underlying services is governed by Microsoft’s terms as sub-processor.

Pricing for the Service is currently negotiated per-tenant. The fees, billing cadence, and payment terms applicable to your tenant are set out in a separate written or electronic order or letter of engagement, which forms part of the agreement between you and Stonemont Data.

We expect to publish standard pricing as the Service moves out of its initial design-partner phase. When that happens, these Terms will be updated to describe billing arrangements in greater detail and we will notify existing tenants.

Either party may terminate these Terms (or the agreement between us) for any reason on reasonable written notice. Stonemont Data may suspend or terminate access without notice if you materially breach these Terms or if continued operation would expose us to legal or security risk.

On request prior to termination, Stonemont Data will provide a reasonable data export of the tenant’s operational data. Following termination, tenant data will be deleted within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or by another tenant’s legal or compliance obligations (as described in our Privacy Policy).

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Stonemont Data does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI-assisted categorizations or computed totals will be free of mistakes. The Service is a tool to assist with operations and bookkeeping; the tenant remains responsible for the accuracy of its own books, tax filings, and regulatory reporting.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STONEMONT DATA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE.

STONEMONT DATA’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO STONEMONT DATA IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Stonemont Data and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, design, and documentation. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you. You retain ownership of your tenant’s content as described above.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Stonemont Data and its officers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your violation of applicable law; or (iii) your infringement of any third-party rights through your use of the Service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally before initiating any formal proceeding. If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with the seat of arbitration in Texas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring a claim in small claims court for matters within that court’s jurisdiction.

Stonemont Data may update these Terms from time to time. Where updates materially affect tenant rights or obligations, we will notify account administrators by email. Continued use of the Service after notice constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any signed order or engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings.

No waiver. Stonemont Data’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; Stonemont Data may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets.
