Skyl Terms of Service

Effective date: September 22, 2026 · Last reviewed: September 22, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Skyl mobile application (the "App") and any related services (together, the "Service") operated by Vestgaard Construction Ltd. ("Skyl," "we," "us," or "our"). The Service is a social and professional network for construction-trade professionals.

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age (and meet any higher minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to create an account and use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and that you are legally able to enter into a binding contract.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company to these Terms.

2. Your Account

2.1 Account creation

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, password, and any activity that occurs under your account.

2.2 Account security

You agree to immediately notify Skyl at team@skylstudios.com of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach. Skyl is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.

2.3 Multiple accounts

You may create and maintain multiple accounts (for example, a personal account and a company account), but you may not create accounts to impersonate another person or entity, evade enforcement, or manipulate the Service.

2.4 Account deletion

You can delete your account at any time through the App's Settings screen, from the 18+ eligibility screen if it is shown, or by emailing team@skylstudios.com. Your login is removed immediately. Profile, posts, comments, messages, and personal data are deleted as soon as possible. Leftover media or login records are purged within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements described in our Privacy Policy.

3. User-Generated Content

3.1 What you can post

You may create and share content through the Service, including posts, comments, direct messages, crew chat messages, job listings, job applications, portfolio items, club posts, and feedback ("User Content").

3.2 License to Skyl

By posting User Content on the Service, you grant Skyl a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and otherwise make available your User Content through the Service, including for the purposes of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. For private messages and other restricted content, this license is limited to operating, securing and providing those features to their intended audience; it does not permit promotional reuse. Promotional use of restricted content requires your separate permission. The license ends when the content is deleted, subject to limited retention described in our Privacy Policy and copies lawfully shared by other users.

You retain all ownership rights in your User Content.

3.3 Content standards

• Contains sexually explicit material or sexual exploitation of minors.
• Promotes violence, terrorism, or self-harm.
• Is false, misleading, or fraudulent.
• Impersonates another person or entity.
• Contains malware, viruses, or harmful code.
• Constitutes unauthorized advertising or spam.
• Violates any applicable law or Skyl's Community Guidelines.

3.4 Responsibility for your content

You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it. Skyl does not endorse and is not responsible for User Content posted by users.

3.5 Right to post

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to post your User Content and that doing so does not violate any law, contract, or third-party right.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any law.
• Harass, bully, stalk, or intimidate any person.

• Circumvent any security or authentication measures.
• Use the Service to send unsolicited communications.
• Sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your account to a third party.
• Encourage anyone else to do any of the above.

5. Moderation and Enforcement

5.1 Automated and human moderation

Skyl uses automated tools (including OpenAI for text and Sightengine for images and videos) and human reviewers to scan User Content for policy violations. Content may be held, removed, or quarantined before or after it is published.

5.2 Reporting

You can report content or users that violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines using the in-app report flow. Skyl reviews reports and takes action as appropriate.

Skyl may, at its discretion and without notice, take any of the following actions for violations:

• Remove or hide content.
• Restrict or disable features (posting, commenting, messaging).
• Issue warnings.
• Temporarily or permanently suspend accounts.
• Permanently ban accounts and devices.
• Report content to law enforcement or to organizations such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) where required by law.

5.4 Appeals

If you believe enforcement action was taken in error, you can appeal by emailing team@skylstudios.com. Skyl will review appeals and respond within a reasonable time.

6. Jobs and Hiring

6.1 Job listings

Users can post job listings and apply for jobs through the Service. Skyl is not a party to any employment relationship between users and is not responsible for the accuracy of job listings, the conduct of job posters or applicants, or the terms of any employment arrangement.

6.2 No fees from Skyl

Skyl does not charge fees for posting or applying to jobs. Any compensation, benefits, or arrangements are solely between the parties involved.

6.3 Compliance with labor laws

Users posting jobs or hiring through the Service are responsible for complying with all applicable labor, employment, tax, and immigration laws.

7. Coins, Badges, and Games

7.1 Virtual currency

Skyl offers a virtual currency called "Skyls" or "coins." Coins have no real-world monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash, and are non-refundable except where required by law. Skyl may modify, discontinue, or reset coin balances at any time.

7.2 Games

Some in-app games (such as Crash Duels) use coins. Outcomes of these games are determined by Skyl's algorithms and are not guaranteed. Skyl is not responsible for any loss of coins through gameplay.

7.3 Badges

Badges are cosmetic profile indicators. Skyl may issue, revoke, or modify badges at any time.

8. Advertising

The Service may display ads served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdMob. Ad content is not endorsed by Skyl. On iOS, access to the advertising identifier requires Apple's tracking permission. Android advertising-identifier controls depend on your device and settings. Additional advertising consent or opt-out choices may apply; iOS tracking permission is separate from those choices. See our Privacy Policy for details on how to opt out.

9. Third-Party Content and Links

The Service may display or link to content and services provided by third parties, including news articles, weather data, job postings, and external websites. Skyl is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or practices of third-party content and services. Your interactions with third-party content are solely between you and the third party.

10. Intellectual Property

10.1 Skyl's rights

The Service, including its design, features, and underlying software, is owned by Vestgaard Construction Ltd. and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use the Skyl name, logo, or trademarks except as necessary to use the Service.

10.2 No reverse engineering

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or reverse-engineer the Service or any part of it, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

10.3 Copyright and takedown

If you believe content infringes your copyright, email team@skylstudios.com. Identify the copyrighted work and the specific material on Skyl (including a link or enough detail to find it); provide your name and contact details; include a physical or electronic signature, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent or law, and a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the rights holder. Do not send unnecessary identity documents. We review notices and may remove or restrict material. We may share the relevant notice with the uploader when necessary to handle the claim.

We may terminate accounts of repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances. If your content was removed by mistake, email the same address to appeal. Where a US DMCA counter-notice process applies, include your signature; identification and former location of the removed material; a statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and the required consent to federal court jurisdiction and service of process. For users outside the US, that consent concerns a district where the service provider may be found. We may forward a valid counter-notice to the claimant and follow applicable restoration timelines, including the US 10–14 business-day process unless notified of a filed court action.

Other rights, privacy and safety complaints can also be sent to the team address.

11. Disclaimers

11.1 As-is service

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skyl disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

11.2 No guarantee of availability

Skyl does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time without notice.

11.3 Construction content and safety

Content on Skyl is shared by users and is not a substitute for qualified professional advice, engineering, inspections, site supervision, training or applicable building and safety requirements. Do not rely on a post, comment, badge or profile as proof that a person is licensed, insured, competent, or that a method is safe or code-compliant. Verify credentials and requirements independently. Never perform unsafe work to create content for Skyl. Nothing in these Terms excludes obligations or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11.4 No guarantee of results

Skyl does not guarantee that you will find jobs, hires, followers, or any specific outcome from using the Service.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Skyl be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if Skyl has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skyl's total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid Skyl in the past 12 months, or (b) CAD $100.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Skyl and its officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. Skyl may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice. On termination, the content license in section 3.2 continues only as needed to complete deletion and permitted retention, and otherwise ends as described in that section.

15. Changes to These Terms

Skyl may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms in the App or on our website and, where appropriate, sending a notification. The "Effective date" at the top indicates when the Terms were last updated. Your continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Subject to mandatory consumer rights and any right to bring proceedings in another jurisdiction that cannot lawfully be excluded, disputes arising out of these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the courts of Alberta. Nothing in these Terms removes protections or remedies that applicable law makes non-waivable.

17. General Provisions

• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
• Waiver. Skyl's failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and Skyl regarding the Service.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without Skyl's consent. Skyl may assign these Terms without restriction.
