1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and IntelligentSystems LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the website located at intsystemsllc.com and all related products and services, including RedThread Systems and BluePrint (collectively, the “Platform”).

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and references to “you” shall refer to both you and that organization.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not create an account, access the Platform, or use any of our services.
2. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will: (a) post the revised Terms on the Platform with an updated effective date; (b) notify registered users by email at the address associated with their account; and (c) require affirmative re-acceptance if the changes materially affect your rights or obligations.
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Platform and may cancel your account in accordance with Section 7.
3. Description of Services
RedThread Systems provides B2B financial and disclosure intelligence software for institutional users. The Platform tracks material disclosures made by public companies across SEC filings, offering multi-period analysis, forward-looking statement verification, and external database verification.
BluePrint is an SEC filing and XBRL validation platform for automated quality assurance of XBRL-tagged financial filings. BluePrint identifies taxonomy errors and calculation inconsistencies prior to submission.

You should consult qualified professionals before making any investment or legal decision.
Service Availability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain Platform availability of at least 99.5% uptime, measured on a monthly basis and excluding scheduled maintenance windows.
