Terms

Last Updated October 23, 2026

Thank you for choosing Sabio Newton.

Every Drainage Calculation Certificate carries a promise: the drain line was sized with the proven math, not guesswork. These terms exist to protect that promise for everyone who relies on it — the providers who issue certificates, and the homeowners who trust them.

We've written these terms to be clear and fair. When you follow them, you help keep every certificate meaningful, including your own. If anything here is unclear, write to us at [email protected]. We're glad to explain.

Part 1. Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Daedelix Inc. ("Sabio Newton," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Sabio Newton mobile application for iPhone and Android (the "App"), the drainage calculator, the Drainage Calculation Certificates issued through the App, and any related features, content, and services we provide (collectively, the "Service"). "You" and "your" refer to the individual who creates an account and, if you use the Service on behalf of a business, that business (a "Provider").

By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, located at https://sabionewton.com/privacy, which is incorporated by reference. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and Business Use.

The Service is a professional tool for businesses and individuals who design, sell, or install drainage systems on residential property. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You may use the Service only for business purposes and only in the United States.

3. The Service.

The Service allows a Provider to enter site information for a residential drainage project, including ZIP code, watershed (drainage) area, run length, and slope (the "Site Inputs"). The App retrieves published rainfall data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ("NOAA") for the ZIP code entered, applies the Rational Method and Manning's Equation as implemented in the Sabio Newton method, and returns a recommended pipe size (a "Calculation"). A Provider may then issue a Drainage Calculation Certificate (a "Certificate") documenting the Calculation.

Each Certificate displays the job site address; the name of the customer it is issued for (ordinarily the property owner); any area nickname entered (such as "Backyard"); the date of issue; the Provider's company name and logo; any contractor name entered; the recommended pipe size, slope, and required flow rate; the Scope Statement set out in Section 4; a unique certificate identification number (a "Certificate ID"); and where the Certificate can be verified.

Anyone with a Certificate ID may use the public Certificate Verification page on our website to confirm that a Certificate was issued through the Service and that its contents match our records.

We may update, improve, add, or remove features of the Service at any time. We will give reasonable notice before removing a feature that materially reduces what you are paying for.

4. What a Certificate Is — and What It Is Not.

Every Certificate, and every App screen, store listing, and marketing asset that describes a Certificate, carries the following statement (the "Scope Statement"):

This certificate documents a drainage calculation performed using the Sabio Newton method, based on site information entered by the provider. It certifies the calculation only. It does not certify, inspect, warrant, or guarantee any installation or completed work.

You understand and agree that:

  • A Certificate documents a Calculation. It is not an inspection, a warranty, a guarantee, an approval, a permit, or a certification of any installation, product, workmanship, or completed work.
  • A Certificate is not a certification, license, credential, endorsement, or approval of you or your business. Sabio Newton does not vet, approve, recommend, rank, or endorse any Provider, and does not maintain a directory of Providers.
  • Every Calculation is based entirely on Site Inputs as entered by you. We do not visit, measure, survey, or inspect any property, and we do not verify the accuracy of any Site Input.
  • The Service is intended for sizing residential drainage lines. It is not intended for, and you may not use it for, commercial, municipal, public-works, or civil projects, or any project that requires a design prepared or stamped by a licensed professional engineer.
  • The Service does not provide professional engineering, surveying, geotechnical, legal, or code-compliance services, and no professional relationship is created between you (or your customer) and Sabio Newton.
  • A Calculation does not account for every condition that may affect drainage performance, including soil type and infiltration, groundwater, outlet or discharge capacity, debris, pipe material and condition, installation quality, maintenance, local codes, or storms that exceed the rainfall data used.

5. Your Responsibilities as a Provider.

By using the Service, you represent, warrant, and agree that:

  • You will measure and enter Site Inputs accurately and in good faith, based on the actual conditions of the property, and you are solely responsible for the accuracy of every Site Input.
  • You will apply your own professional judgment to every Calculation and remain solely responsible for the design, materials, installation, workmanship, inspection, and maintenance of any drainage system you sell or install.
  • You hold and will maintain all licenses, registrations, permits, and insurance required by law for the work you perform, and you will comply with all applicable building codes, laws, and regulations.
  • You are solely responsible for your agreements with your customers. Sabio Newton is not a party to any agreement between you and your customer and has no obligation to your customer.
  • You will deliver each Certificate to your customer complete and unaltered, including the Scope Statement.
  • You will not alter, edit, forge, or reproduce a Certificate, issue a Certificate for a property or project other than the one the Site Inputs describe, or issue a Certificate you know is based on inaccurate Site Inputs.

6. Certificate Claims and Marketing Rules.

How Providers describe the Certificate matters to every Provider who uses it and to every homeowner who relies on it. You agree to follow the Certificate Language Guidelines in Schedule A, which are part of these Terms and which we may update on notice to you.

In particular, you will not, in any advertising, website, social media post, vehicle or yard sign, proposal, contract, invoice, or conversation:

  • Describe yourself, your business, your employees, or your work as "Sabio Newton certified," "certified," "approved," "verified," "vetted," "inspected," or "guaranteed" by Sabio Newton, in English, Spanish, or any other language.
  • Describe any installation or completed work as "certified" or as covered by a Certificate.
  • State or imply that Sabio Newton employs, endorses, recommends, partners with, or stands behind you or your work, or that you are an agent or representative of Sabio Newton.
  • Use the Sabio Newton name, logo, certificate seal, or other marks except as permitted by Schedule A.

You may accurately say that you use Sabio Newton to calculate drainage sizing and that you provide a Drainage Calculation Certificate, using the approved language in Schedule A.

Enforcement. If we believe you have violated this Section 6, we may take any one or more of the following actions, in our discretion and without limiting any other right we have:

  • Send you written notice describing the violation and requiring you to correct it within 10 days, or immediately if the violation creates a risk of harm to consumers or to the Company.
  • Suspend your ability to issue new Certificates until the violation is corrected.
  • Terminate your account and these Terms without refund under Section 18.
  • Note on the Certificate Verification page that the issuing account has been suspended or terminated, without changing the contents of any Certificate already issued.
  • Seek injunctive relief and recover damages, including under Section 17 (Indemnification).

7. Customer and Property Information.

When you enter information about a property or your customer (such as a ZIP code, property address, or customer name), you represent that you have the right to provide it to us and that you have given your customer any notice required by law.

You understand and agree, and will tell your customer, that anyone who has a Certificate ID can view the following on the public Certificate Verification page: your company name; the date the Certificate was issued; whether it is valid or has been revoked; the sizing summary; the design calculation checks and whether they passed; the attestations you signed about the installed work; and the number of as-built photos attached. The Verification page does not display the job site address, the customer's name, area nickname, contractor name, or photos, but the Certificate itself displays the job site address, the customer's name, area nickname, and contractor name, and may be shared with anyone.

We handle customer and property information as described in our Privacy Policy. You will not enter any information that is not needed for the Calculation, and you will not enter government identification numbers, financial account information, or health information about any person.

8. Accounts and Security.

You must provide accurate, current, and complete account information, including your company name, and keep it updated. Your company name, logo, and any contractor name you enter will appear on Certificates you issue, so you are responsible for making sure they are accurate and that you have the right to use them.

Each account belongs to one person and works inside one company workspace. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account, and you may not share your account with anyone. If you own a workspace, you are responsible for the people you invite into it and for every Certificate they issue under your company name. Each plan includes a set number of seats, and a seat is one person in your workspace. Notify us immediately at [email protected] of any unauthorized access to your account.

We may suspend or disable any account at any time if we reasonably believe it has been compromised or used in violation of these Terms.

You may delete your account at any time from within the App or by contacting us. See Section 18 for what happens to Certificates you have already issued.

9. Subscriptions and Billing.

Purchases through the App Stores. Subscriptions are sold as in-app purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an "App Store"). Payment is charged to the payment method associated with your App Store account, and billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are processed by the App Store under its terms. We do not receive or store your full payment card information.

Subscription Plans. Subscriptions are offered with monthly or yearly billing periods. Each plan's price, billing period, number of seats, and any Certificate allowance are shown in the App and by the App Store before you confirm your purchase. The calculator is free to use. Issuing Certificates and using Ask Sabio require an active subscription, or a Single Certificate purchase.

Single Certificates. You may also purchase a single Certificate as a one-time purchase that does not renew. A single Certificate is used up when you issue it, cannot be transferred to another company, and cannot be refunded once used.

One Certificate per Area. Each Certificate covers one area of work at one property, such as "Backyard," and may include all drain lines calculated for that area. If you work on a property in phases or in more than one area, issue a separate Certificate for each. Running, re-running, and revising Calculations does not use a Certificate. Only issuing a Certificate counts against your plan's Certificate allowance, if your plan has one.

Automatic Renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, monthly or yearly, at the price shown when you subscribed, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Deleting the App or your account does not cancel your subscription.

Refunds. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods or unused Certificates. Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by the App Store under its policies.

Price Changes. We may change subscription pricing or the number of included Certificates. A price change does not apply to a subscription already in progress. It takes effect at your next renewal, and the App Store will notify you before it does. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the change takes effect.

Promotions. We may offer promotional pricing or founding-member rates, including at trade shows and events. Promotions are subject to the terms stated when offered and may be changed or ended at any time for new sign-ups.

Multi-User and Organization Accounts. Plans with more than one seat let a workspace owner invite others into the company workspace, as described in Section 8. Trade organizations, schools, and companies that need terms beyond what is offered in the App may contact us at [email protected] about a separate written agreement. If you have such an agreement and it conflicts with these Terms, the separate agreement controls.

10. License and Intellectual Property.

Subject to these Terms and your payment of all applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use the App on devices you own or control, and to use the Service and issue Certificates, solely for your internal business purposes during your subscription.

The Service, including the App, the Sabio Newton method and the way it is implemented in the App, the calculator logic, the Certificate design and seal, the website, and all related software, text, graphics, and content, and the Sabio Newton name and logos (the "Company Materials"), are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by intellectual property and trade secret laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any Company Materials to you.

You may not, and may not permit anyone else to:

  • Copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App or Company Materials.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, formulas, coefficients, logic, or methodology underlying the App or the Sabio Newton method, including by systematically entering inputs to map outputs.
  • Use the Service or its outputs to build, train, or improve any competing calculator, software, artificial intelligence model, or service.
  • Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or share access to the Service, or issue Certificates for another business.
  • Use any robot, scraper, or automated means to access the Service or the Certificate Verification page.
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notice, the Scope Statement, or the Certificate ID on any Certificate.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems.

11. Your Content.

You keep ownership of the information and materials you submit to the Service, including your business name, logo, and Site Inputs ("Your Content"). You grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and process Your Content to provide, maintain, and improve the Service, including to display your business name and logo on Certificates and on the Certificate Verification page, and to keep records of issued Certificates.

You also grant the Company a perpetual, irrevocable license to use Site Inputs and Calculation data in de-identified or aggregated form that does not identify you or any individual, to operate, analyze, and improve the Service and to develop new products and services.

You represent that you own or have the rights to Your Content, including any logo, and that Your Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.

12. Third-Party Data, Platforms, and Services.

NOAA Data. Calculations rely on rainfall data published by NOAA, a United States government agency. NOAA data is provided by a third party and may be revised, updated, unavailable, or incomplete for some locations. We do not control and are not responsible for NOAA data, and we do not guarantee that it reflects actual or future rainfall at any property. NOAA does not endorse Sabio Newton or any Certificate.

App Stores and Other Services. The Service depends on third-party platforms and services, including the App Stores, hosting and email providers, our in-app purchase provider, and the artificial intelligence providers that power Ask Sabio. We are not responsible for outages, changes, or discontinuations by those third parties, but we will make commercially reasonable efforts to restore or replace affected functionality.

13. Ask Sabio (AI Assistant).

The Service includes an artificial intelligence assistant ("Ask Sabio") that answers questions about drainage and can review photos you choose to send it, such as photos of soil. Ask Sabio uses technology provided by third-party artificial intelligence providers and may use third-party web search services to answer questions.

  • Ask Sabio responses are generated by artificial intelligence and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. They are general information only and are not engineering, legal, or code-compliance advice.
  • Ask Sabio responses are not Calculations and are never included in a Certificate. Only the calculator produces Calculations.
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying any Ask Sabio response before relying on it.
  • Your questions and the responses may be processed by our AI and web search providers under their terms and our Privacy Policy. Do not enter personal information about your customers, confidential information, or any sensitive personal information into Ask Sabio.
  • Ask Sabio offers an optional voice mode. While a voice conversation you started is open, your microphone audio is streamed to our provider OpenAI and is not stored, and a text transcript is saved to your Ask history. If you use read-aloud, the text of an answer is sent to our provider ElevenLabs to generate speech. See our Privacy Policy.
  • We may set usage limits on Ask Sabio and change them with reasonable notice.

14. Feedback and Beta Features.

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us the right to use it for any purpose without compensation or obligation to you. We may offer features labeled beta, preview, or early access. Those features are provided as-is, may change or be removed at any time, and may not be included in the Service going forward.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties.

THE SERVICE, ALL CALCULATIONS, CERTIFICATES, NOAA DATA, ASK SABIO RESPONSES, AND ALL OTHER CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY CALCULATION OR RECOMMENDED PIPE SIZE IS SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PROPERTY, THAT ANY DRAINAGE SYSTEM WILL PERFORM AS INTENDED OR PREVENT FLOODING, STANDING WATER, EROSION, OR DAMAGE TO ANY STRUCTURE OR FOUNDATION, OR THAT ANY CERTIFICATE WILL BE ACCEPTED OR RELIED ON BY ANY CUSTOMER, INSPECTOR, INSURER, LENDER, BUYER, OR GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY.

THE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY BUSINESS RESULT FROM USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY INCREASE IN SALES, CLOSE RATE, OR PRICING.

16. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE, ANY CALCULATION OR CERTIFICATE, OR ANY DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESIGNED, SOLD, OR INSTALLED BY YOU, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).

THIS LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

17. Indemnification.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Any drainage system or other work you design, sell, install, or maintain, including any claim by your customer or any other third party relating to that work.
  • Any Site Input you enter or any Certificate you issue or deliver.
  • Any statement you make about the Company, the Service, or a Certificate, including any violation of Section 6 or Schedule A.
  • Your Content, including any claim that your business name or logo infringes a third party's rights.
  • Your violation of these Terms or of any applicable law, license requirement, permit requirement, or building code.

18. Term and Termination.

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Service. You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service.

Upon termination, your license ends, you may no longer issue Certificates, and you remain responsible for all fees incurred before termination.

Certificates already issued. Because homeowners and others may rely on Certificate Verification, Certificates issued before termination or account deletion will remain verifiable on the Certificate Verification page permanently, unless we are required by law to remove them. We retain the records needed to support verification as described in our Privacy Policy.

If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will give at least 30 days' notice and will provide a pro-rata refund of any prepaid, unused subscription period to the extent the refund is within our control and not handled by an App Store.

All provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including Sections 4 through 7, 10, 11, and 15 through 22.

19. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Informal Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute"), you and the Company agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting the other party in writing at the notice address in Section 22. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days, either party may initiate binding arbitration.

Binding Arbitration. Any Dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its applicable rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Diego County, California. If the arbitration cannot proceed in that location, it shall be conducted remotely by videoconference or in a location the parties agree on. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Costs. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees. Filing fees and arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA's applicable rules and fee schedules.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for Disputes within that court's jurisdictional limits. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent infringement or misuse of intellectual property, including any violation of Section 6 or Section 10.

20. Governing Law and Geographic Scope.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The Service is offered only in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use outside the United States.

21. App Store Terms.

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies: (a) these Terms are between you and the Company only, not Apple, and the Company, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content; (b) Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App; (c) if the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, and to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App; (d) the Company, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer protection claims; (e) the Company, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights; (f) you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; and (g) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

If you downloaded the App from Google Play, your use of the App is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. If these Terms conflict with those terms regarding your use of Google Play, the Google Play terms control on that issue only.

22. General Terms.

Changes to These Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last Updated" date shows the current version. We will notify you of material changes by email or in the App at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, cancel your subscription before the effective date.

Electronic Communications. You consent to receive notices, disclosures, and other communications from us electronically, including by email and in the App, and agree that they satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.

Notices. We may give you notice by email to the address associated with your account or in the App. You may give notice to the Company by certified mail to Daedelix Inc., 4326 Navajo Avenue, Oceanside, CA 92056, with a copy by email to [email protected]. Notices by certified mail are effective upon receipt.

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

Force Majeure. The Company is not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, cyberattacks, internet or power failures, or outages of third-party services, including NOAA data services and the App Stores.

Severability and No Waiver. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the remaining provisions remain in effect. No failure or delay in exercising any right is a waiver of that right.

Language. These Terms are provided in English and Spanish for convenience. If there is any conflict between the English and Spanish versions, the English version controls.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, including Schedule A, together with the Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement referred to in Section 9, are the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and communications on this subject. Headings are for convenience only.

Schedule A — Certificate Language Guidelines

These guidelines are part of the Terms of Service. They apply to everything you say or publish about Sabio Newton or a Drainage Calculation Certificate, in any language and any medium.

1. Always qualify the word "certificate."

Refer to the document as a "Drainage Calculation Certificate" (Spanish: "Certificado de Cálculo de Drenaje"). Do not refer to it as a bare "certificate," a "certification," or a "Sabio Newton certificate of installation."

2. Approved and prohibited language.

Say this (English)Say this (Spanish)Never say
Drainage Calculation CertificateCertificado de Cálculo de Drenaje"Sabio Newton certificate of installation"
Certify your drainage calculationsCertifica tus cálculos de drenaje"Certified installation" / "instalación certificada"

Verify this certificateVerifica este certificado"Verified provider" / "proveedor verificado"
Sized using NOAA rainfall data for this locationDimensionado con datos de lluvia de NOAA para esta ubicación"Guaranteed," "approved," "inspected," "vetted"

3. Use of the Sabio Newton name and marks.

You may state in plain text that you use Sabio Newton to calculate drainage sizing. You may not use the Sabio Newton logo, certificate seal, or other marks on vehicles, signs, uniforms, websites, business cards, or advertising unless we provide approved co-branded materials for that purpose, and then only as provided, without modification. The "Sabio Newton Certified" badge appears only on Drainage Calculation Certificates and refers only to the calculation documented on that Certificate. You may not use it anywhere else, including in approved co-branded materials.

4. Present the Certificate whole.

When you share a Drainage Calculation Certificate with a customer or anyone else, share the complete Certificate, including the Scope Statement and Certificate ID. Do not crop, edit, or summarize it in a way that removes the Scope Statement.

5. Questions.

If you are not sure whether a statement is permitted, email [email protected] before you publish it.

Part 2. Website Terms of Use

1. Agreement to Terms.

These Website Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the websites located at https://sabionewton.com and https://app.sabionewton.com and any related subpages, including the Certificate Verification page (together, the "Website"), operated by Daedelix Inc. ("Sabio Newton," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). "You" and "your" refer to the individual or entity accessing or using the Website.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, located at https://sabionewton.com/privacy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

Use of the Sabio Newton mobile app and subscription is governed by our Terms of Service, located at https://sabionewton.com/terms#service. If these Terms conflict with the Terms of Service on a matter involving the app, the Terms of Service control.

2. Age Requirements.

The Website is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. If you are under 18, you may not use the Website or submit personal information to us.

3. Changes to Terms.

We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows the current version. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.

4. Website Access and Availability.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Website, or any part of it, at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable if the Website or any part of it, including Certificate Verification, is unavailable for any reason.

5. Privacy.

Your use of the Website is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share personal information, including information related to Certificate Verification.

6. Certificate Verification.

The Certificate Verification page lets anyone who has a Drainage Calculation Certificate ID confirm whether that Certificate was issued through Sabio Newton and whether the Certificate in front of them matches our records.

A successful verification confirms only that:

  • The Certificate was issued through the Sabio Newton app on the date shown; and
  • The contents shown match the Calculation recorded at the time it was issued.

Verification does not confirm, and Sabio Newton does not represent, that:

  • The site information entered by the provider was accurate or reflects the actual conditions of the property.
  • Any drainage system was installed as calculated, installed correctly, or installed at all.
  • Any provider is licensed, insured, qualified, approved, endorsed, or recommended by Sabio Newton.
  • Any drainage system will perform as intended or prevent water damage.

This certificate documents a drainage calculation performed using the Sabio Newton method, based on site information entered by the provider. It certifies the calculation only. It does not certify, inspect, warrant, or guarantee any installation or completed work.

Sabio Newton does not maintain or publish a directory of providers and does not vet or rank providers. Questions about the work performed on a property should be directed to the provider who performed it.

You may use Certificate Verification only to look up Certificates you have a legitimate reason to check, such as a Certificate given to you by a provider, or a Certificate provided in connection with a property you own, are buying, are inspecting, or are insuring or financing. You may not use automated tools to submit lookups, attempt to guess or enumerate Certificate IDs, or collect information from Certificate Verification in bulk.

7. Educational Content.

The Website includes articles, guides, and other educational content about drainage, including homeowner guides and content for contractors (the "Content"). The Content is general information only. It is not engineering, legal, or code-compliance advice and is not a substitute for an evaluation of a specific property by a qualified professional. Drainage requirements, building codes, and permit rules vary by location. You are solely responsible for how you use the Content.

References to rainfall data, sizing methods, costs, or typical outcomes are examples only and do not guarantee any result for any property.

8. Intellectual Property.

All content on the Website, including text, graphics, images, logos, the Drainage Calculation Certificate design and seal, trademarks, software, and other materials (collectively, "Company Content"), is owned by or licensed to the Company and is protected by United States copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Website and Company Content for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not:

  • Reproduce, modify, distribute, display, or create derivative works from Company Content.
  • Use Company Content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
  • Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.
  • Use the Sabio Newton name, logos, certificate seal, or other marks without our prior written permission, or in any way that suggests Sabio Newton has certified, approved, or endorsed any person, business, or installation. The "Sabio Newton Certified" badge appears only on Drainage Calculation Certificates and refers only to the calculation documented on that Certificate. It may not be used anywhere else, including on websites, advertising, social media, vehicles, uniforms, or signage.

9. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Data Collection.

We welcome artificial intelligence systems, AI-powered search engines, and similar technologies indexing, referencing, citing, and linking to the Website and Company Content, provided they:
