These ClearPath Service Terms govern paid services provided by ClearPath Development ("ClearPath," "we"), a California-based advisory firm. By checking the agreement box at Stripe checkout and completing payment, you ("Client," "you") agree to these Terms for the service you are purchasing.
ClearPath is an advisory and consulting firm focused on real estate feasibility, pathway screening, and entitlement strategy guidance for residential property in California. ClearPath does not provide:
ClearPath's work is based on publicly available data, applicable code and ordinances as of the date of service, and ClearPath's professional judgment. ClearPath does not perform original surveys, site inspections, environmental testing, geotechnical studies, or soils analysis. Final decisions about a property, a transaction, or a construction project are the Client's responsibility and require independent verification with qualified licensed professionals.
Scope. The $150 Strategy Session is a one-time 30-minute advisory call with ClearPath focused on a single property or a single strategic question. It is informational in nature.
Deliverable. No written report is included. Client may receive a short follow-up email summarizing the call at ClearPath's discretion.
Booking and Payment. Client pays $150 in full at booking through Stripe. The Strategy Session must be scheduled within 30 days of payment. If Client fails to schedule or attend within 30 days, the session is forfeited and the fee is non-refundable.
Refund Policy. The $150 fee is refundable in full only if ClearPath cancels the session and is unable to reschedule within 30 days. Once the session occurs, the fee is earned and non-refundable.
Conversion Credit. If Client engages ClearPath for a $750 Property Analysis on the same property within 30 days of a Strategy Session, the $150 paid will be credited toward the Property Analysis fee.
Scope. The Property Analysis is a written advisory report covering a single property identified at intake, following ClearPath's ten-section structure including executive summary, property profile, highest and best use analysis, pathway screening (SB-9, SB-1123, ADU, condo map, subdivision, hold), density and unit scenarios, risk register, comparable market context, recommended path, next actions, code references, data sources with verification dates, and a disclaimer. The Property Analysis is advisory in nature only.
Intake. Client provides property address, APN, and any prior reports or relevant documents at intake. ClearPath reviews intake, assigns a workflow lane, and (if applicable) quotes a complexity surcharge in writing before any Stripe Payment Link is generated.
Deliverable. The final deliverable is a PDF export of the Property Analysis, delivered to the email address Client provides at intake.
Workflow Lanes and Turnaround (from receipt of payment): STANDARD lane 24 hours, MEDIUM lane 48 hours, COMPLEX lane 72 hours plus a complexity surcharge quoted in writing before checkout.
Client Responsibilities. Client agrees to provide accurate property information, to independently verify any conclusion with qualified licensed professionals before committing money, to confirm any code-based or jurisdictional finding directly with the relevant agency, and to disclose any conflicting reports, pending litigation, encumbrances, or material facts.
Refund Policy. If ClearPath is unable to complete the Property Analysis for reasons within ClearPath's control, the fee is refunded in full. Once the PDF is delivered to Client's email, the fee is earned and non-refundable.
ClearPath accepts payment through Stripe (primary). Acceptance is recorded when Client checks the terms acceptance box at Stripe checkout and completes payment. All fees are in U.S. dollars. Client is responsible for any applicable sales or use tax.
This engagement does not establish a real estate brokerage or agency relationship. ClearPath does not list, sell, buy, solicit buyers or sellers, negotiate terms, prepare purchase agreements, or represent Client in any real estate transaction. Client is free to use any licensed broker, agent, attorney, or consultant of Client's choosing.
This engagement does not solicit, offer, price, contract for, supervise, or perform construction, design-build, or general contracting services. ClearPath is engaged solely as an advisory and consulting firm. Any construction work requires a separate written agreement with the appropriately licensed contractor.
ClearPath findings reflect analysis of publicly available data and applicable code as of the date of service. ClearPath does not guarantee city, county, or state approval; PG&E approval, capacity, or interconnection timeline; any other utility approval; any return on investment or financial outcome; or any timeline for governmental or utility review. Any modeled figure in a ClearPath deliverable is an illustrative estimate based on stated assumptions, not a guarantee.
ClearPath deliverables may include code-generated site plans or concept diagrams. These are conceptual representations only, not engineered drawings, not to be submitted to any city, county, or utility as plans, and not a substitute for architectural, civil engineering, or surveying work.
Client agrees to independently verify any conclusion, finding, recommendation, code citation, comparable, or numeric estimate in any ClearPath deliverable with qualified licensed professionals before committing money or making any material decision, and to confirm any jurisdictional finding directly with the relevant agency before acting on it.
ClearPath Development's principal has ownership or business interests in separate real estate and construction-related businesses. This ClearPath engagement is separate from any brokerage, construction, design-build, or other related-business relationship. Any separate engagement requires its own written agreement and disclosures. ClearPath does not earn referral fees from contractors or other consultants unless disclosed to Client in writing before the referral occurs.
ClearPath's total liability under any engagement governed by these Terms is limited to the fee actually paid by Client for the specific service in question. ClearPath is not liable for indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost opportunity, or lost time. Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ClearPath, its principal, and any associated parties from claims arising out of Client's reliance on a deliverable without the independent professional verification required by Section 9, any inaccurate information Client provided, or actions taken after Client knew additional verification was warranted.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms will be resolved in Santa Clara County, California.
ClearPath will treat Client's property address, the existence of any engagement, and Client's personal contact information as confidential. ClearPath may use anonymized or address-redacted findings for internal benchmarking and marketing illustrations with no identifiable details, and will not share Client's contact information with third parties without written consent, except where required by law.
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. These Terms, plus the specific intake and payment record for a given engagement, constitute the entire agreement for that engagement. Modifications must be in writing and confirmed by both parties.
ClearPath may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time Client completes payment governs that engagement.
