Terms of Use
Last updated: 3 August 2026
OHMIE is a professional reference tool for licensed electricians. It does not replace your own judgment, your license, the code book, or your Authority Having Jurisdiction — and by using it you accept full responsibility for verifying every output before you install anything.
1.Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and OnBaseIQ, LLC ("OnBaseIQ," "we," "us," or "our"), and govern your access to and use of the OHMIE mobile application, its content, and any related services (together, "OHMIE" or the "App"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using OHMIE — including by tapping "I Understand & Agree" or any similar acknowledgment in the App — you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not download or use OHMIE.
Please read Sections 6 through 12 carefully. They disclaim warranties, limit our liability, require you to assume the risk of using OHMIE and to indemnify us, require most disputes to be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and waive your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.
2.Who may use OHMIE
OHMIE is offered only to licensed, trained, or supervised electrical professionals, and to others working under their direction, who are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter this agreement. It is a professional aid, not a consumer do-it-yourself product, and it is not directed to consumers performing their own electrical work. If you use OHMIE on behalf of an employer or business, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" includes that entity.
3.What OHMIE is — and what it is not
OHMIE is a reference and job-documentation aid. It organizes national electrical-code standards (the National Electrical Code, or "NEC") and, where loaded, certain state amendments, into plain-language guidance, suggested material lists, and worked example sizing, to help an electrician plan and document work faster.
OHMIE is NOT, and must not be relied upon as:
- professional engineering, a professional engineering service, or a "stamped" or sealed design;
- legal, safety, or code-compliance advice;
- a substitute for the NEC, for state or local codes, for manufacturer instructions, for a licensed professional's independent judgment, or for review and approval by your Authority Having Jurisdiction ("AHJ") and serving utility;
- a guarantee that any output is accurate, current, complete, or sufficient to pass inspection or to make an installation safe.
Codes change, editions and amendments differ by state and locality, and local rules and your AHJ always take precedence. National-standard guidance may not reflect the requirements that apply to your specific job.
4.No professional relationship; your independent duty to verify
Your use of OHMIE does not create any engineer–client, contractor, agency, fiduciary, or other professional relationship between you and OnBaseIQ, and OnBaseIQ owes you no professional duty of care in connection with the App's outputs. You remain the responsible professional on every job.
You agree that before ordering material, energizing, installing, concealing, or certifying any work, you will independently verify every OHMIE output — including all conductor and equipment sizes, overcurrent-device ratings, quantities, methods, and code citations — against the current NEC, all applicable state and local codes, manufacturer instructions, and the requirements of your AHJ, using your own professional judgment. OHMIE is a starting point and a second set of hands, never the final word.
5.Assumption of risk
You understand and acknowledge that electrical work is inherently dangerous, and that errors, omissions, or reliance on any tool — including OHMIE — can result in code violations, failed inspections, property damage, fire, serious personal injury, or death. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from your use of OHMIE and from any work you perform, plan, size, document, or price with its assistance. You accept that you, as the licensed or supervising professional, are solely responsible for the safety, code compliance, and workmanship of that work.
6.Disclaimer of warranties
OHMIE is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, OnBaseIQ and its owners, licensors, and suppliers expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties of accuracy, currency, completeness, reliability, or quiet enjoyment. OnBaseIQ does not warrant that OHMIE, or any output, code reference, size, quantity, or calculation it produces, is accurate, current, complete, error-free, or suitable for any particular job, or that OHMIE will be uninterrupted, available, or secure. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from OHMIE or from OnBaseIQ creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration permitted by law.
7.Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will OnBaseIQ or its owners, members, officers, employees, licensors, or suppliers be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, data, goodwill, or for any property damage, personal injury, wrongful death, cost of rework, re-inspection, permit, or delay, or for any callback, warranty, or liability you owe to your own customer or to any third party, arising out of or relating to OHMIE or these Terms, whether based on contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability, product liability, or any other theory, and whether or not OnBaseIQ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OnBaseIQ's total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to OHMIE or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you actually paid to OnBaseIQ for OHMIE in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).
You agree that these limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and OnBaseIQ, that OHMIE would not be offered at its price without them, and that they apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law — for example, liability for a party's own fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or certain statutory or personal-injury liability that governing law makes non-waivable. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
8.Your responsibility and indemnification
You are solely responsible for the work you perform, plan, size, document, or price, and for your compliance with all applicable codes, laws, licensing requirements, and safety practices. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OnBaseIQ and its owners, members, officers, employees, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or relating to: (a) any electrical or other work you perform, plan, size, document, or price with the assistance of OHMIE; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any code, law, or third-party right; or (d) any bodily injury, death, or property damage connected to your work. OnBaseIQ may, at its own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate.
9.Time limit for claims
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to OHMIE or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise it is permanently barred.
10.Dispute resolution — binding arbitration & class-action waiver
Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes with OnBaseIQ are resolved.
Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at support@onbaseiq.com and give us at least sixty (60) days to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith.
Binding arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved, you and OnBaseIQ agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to OHMIE or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and not in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. The arbitration will take place in the county in the State of Oregon where OnBaseIQ, LLC maintains its principal place of business, or by remote/video hearing where available, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and OnBaseIQ agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and OnBaseIQ each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class or representative action.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver section by emailing support@onbaseiq.com with your name and a clear statement that you opt out, within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
11.Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 10, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Oregon, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection law of the state where you reside.
12.License to use the App
Subject to these Terms and any applicable payment, OnBaseIQ grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use OHMIE on devices you own or control, for your own professional use. This license is to use the App — it does not transfer ownership of the App, its source code, its content, or any intellectual property in any of them.
13.What you may not do
To protect the work that goes into OHMIE, you agree not to, and not to help or permit anyone else to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or otherwise attempt to derive or reconstruct its source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, or the electrical sizing logic and code-reference data it contains, except to the extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
- Copy, extract, scrape, or reproduce the App's job catalog, sizing engine, material-list logic, code citations, or state-amendment content, in whole or in part, for use in another product or service.
- Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the App.
- Remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from the App.
- Sublicense, resell, rent, lease, or distribute the App or access to it, or use it to build a competing product.
- Use the App in any way that violates applicable law, or that circumvents App Store purchase or licensing mechanisms.
14.Ownership
OHMIE — including its software, source code, design, the job catalog, the sizing engine, the NEC and state-amendment reference content, trademarks (including "OHMIE" and the OHMIE logo), and all related intellectual property — is owned by OnBaseIQ, LLC and its licensors, and is protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of that ownership to you.
15.Your content stays yours
Job records, photos, and other information you enter into OHMIE belong to you. We don't claim ownership of it, and — as described in the Privacy Policy — we never receive a copy of it in the first place, since OHMIE has no server. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter and for keeping your own copies of anything you need to retain.
16.Subscriptions and purchases
OHMIE offers a free trial followed by paid subscription and one-time-purchase tiers, billed and managed through Apple's App Store in accordance with Apple's own terms. Pricing, trial length, and renewal terms are as disclosed in the App and on the App Store listing at the time of purchase. Except where required by law or by Apple's terms, all payments are non-refundable.
17.Availability, changes, and third parties
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue OHMIE or any part of it at any time, and we are not liable for any resulting unavailability. OHMIE is distributed through, and depends on, Apple's App Store and your device; those platforms are third parties governed by their own terms, and Apple is not responsible for OHMIE. These Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights except that Apple is an intended third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them.
18.Termination
We may suspend or terminate your license to use OHMIE at any time if you violate these Terms, including the restrictions on reverse engineering or copying. You may stop using OHMIE at any time by deleting the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 3 through 15, 18, and 19 — will survive.
19.General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and OnBaseIQ regarding OHMIE and supersede any prior understanding. Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, or severed, and the remaining provisions stay in full force; if a limitation of liability or warranty disclaimer is held partly unenforceable, it remains in force to the maximum extent permitted by law. No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
20.Changes to these terms
If we materially change these Terms, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Continued use of OHMIE after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
