Terms of Use

Effective date: March 11, 2026

Welcome to Linus. Please read these Terms of Use carefully. They govern your use of our website, IoT devices, SaaS platform, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

If you have questions, contact us at: support@linusanalytics.com

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and Linus Analytics, Inc. ("Linus," "we," or "us"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, do not use the Services.

IMPORTANT: These Terms include a binding arbitration clause and class action waiver in Section 10, which affects your legal rights. Please read it carefully.

1. Services Overview

Linus provides IoT-enabled scrap metal tracking for manufacturers, with automated dealer notifications and payment management. The Services include RFID-tagged equipment (hoppers, bins, and transfer bins), industrial scales, a SaaS platform for managing scrap workflows and pickup logistics, and scalehouse tools for dealer check-in and check-out. The Services are designed for business use by authorized representatives of companies that have entered into a subscription or service agreement with Linus.

We may update or modify the Services from time to time. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you via the email address associated with your account or through the Services. Your continued use after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Accounts

To use the Services, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

You represent and warrant that you are authorized by your company to use the Services and to bind your company to these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of a company, that company agrees to these Terms.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if your company's subscription agreement with us is terminated.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services
  • Use the Services to violate any applicable law or regulation
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or other users' accounts
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services
  • Use the Services to transmit malware or other harmful code
  • Scrape, data-mine, or otherwise extract data from the Services except through authorized APIs

4. Your Data

You retain ownership of all data you submit to the Services ("Your Data"). By using the Services, you grant Linus a limited, non-exclusive license to use, process, and store Your Data solely to provide and improve the Services.

We may use anonymized, aggregated data derived from Your Data for analytics, benchmarking, and service improvement purposes. Such aggregated data will not identify you or your company.

You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of Your Data. We are not obligated to back up Your Data, although we take reasonable measures to protect it.

5. Intellectual Property

The Services, including all software, hardware designs, documentation, trademarks, and other materials, are owned by Linus or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in the Services.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services during the term of your subscription, solely for your internal business purposes.

If you provide us with feedback or suggestions about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose.

6. Payment Processing

The Services include invoicing and payment features that facilitate transactions between manufacturers and dealers. Electronic payments are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By using the payment features, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy.

Linus acts as a platform facilitating payments between parties. We are not a party to the underlying scrap metal transactions and are not responsible for disputes between manufacturers and dealers regarding weight, pricing, or quality of scrap metal.

Payment processing times, including ACH bank transfer settlement periods, are determined by the payment processor and your financial institution. We are not responsible for delays in payment processing.

7. Third-Party Services

The Services integrate with third-party services for authentication, payment processing, email delivery, commodity pricing, and other functions. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.

Commodity pricing data imported from third-party providers is provided for informational purposes and to facilitate transactions. We do not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of third-party pricing data.

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LINUS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. IoT devices such as scales and RFID readers may experience hardware failures, calibration drift, or connectivity issues. We are not responsible for any decisions you make based on data provided through the Services, including scrap metal weight readings, valuations, routing recommendations, or pickup scheduling.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LINUS'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO LINUS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

IN NO EVENT SHALL LINUS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so the above limitations may not fully apply to you.

10. Dispute Resolution

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Binding Arbitration. You and Linus agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration.

Exceptions. Either party may bring claims in small claims court if they qualify. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement or unauthorized use of the Services.

Class Action Waiver. All disputes must be brought in the parties' individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to Linus Analytics, Inc. at our address within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.

Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Venue. If arbitration does not apply, any judicial proceeding shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Kent County, Delaware.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Linus harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

12. Termination

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services immediately if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases. Sections 4 through 11 survive termination.

13. General Provisions

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable subscription agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Linus regarding the Services.

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

Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
